The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

The reason I love this Reductress joke is that it gets to the essence of what "The Doomscroll" actually is. It's not simply a parade of disinterestedly reported news stories with sober headlines about tragedies. It's everyone else's *commentary* about them.

Also I think it’s fair to critique Alisha as underwritten, esp in season 3, but the show also does really get at a deep truth about how being a sex object can feel like a position of power even as it’s just isolating you and Antonia Thomas really brings depth to her performance

One example of how Grok is being used to target women. Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch being sexualised, degraded, and humiliated step-by-step by Grok. All the images accurately reflect the prompts provided.

It's a new year! Are you doomscrolling? There's a lot going on in the world right now, but that doesn't mean you need to keep looking at your phone more than you planned for. Is there something else you need to do or an offline activity that would be more relaxing? How about going to bed early?

I wrote about reporters’ refusal to use “act of war,” “invasion” or “coup” when covering Trump’s brazen attacks on Venezuela, instead echoing WH-approved euphemisms, and the broader trend of our press dutifully giving Trump’s lawlessness the vague whiff of international legitimacy when it has none.

I'd like to add that, despite the insistence and protestations of prudes and Neo-Nazis who think porn was invented 100 years ago by (((Evil Wizards))), depictions of sex in art have been around since humanity first put Crayola to cave wall.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

John Stuart Mill had a great quote about the history of ideas that was very similar: "Most heretics seek only to make their heresy, the new orthodoxy, rather than making common cause for the rights of heretics in general".

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

I recognize that America is cooked right now. But can we please not do another round of "Can we just join Canada? lol" and "Can I marry a Canadian 🤣" jokes from Americans. Canada's got our own bullshit, it's like your problems but on a smaller scale. We're not trying to be "good in comparison".

This widely shared post, which claims to show Venezuelans celebrating the fall of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, is false. The video was actually filmed in Miami, Florida, and not in Venezuela.

More AI-generated images of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro being detained by US military and drug enforcement agents have been shared online. They are all fake and created by an Instagram user who makes and posts generative AI content.

people with large follower accounts have got to find ways to limit interactions on social media. it becomes completely un-navigable otherwise. berating ppl about this is just an example of why ppl need to limit interactions!

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.

So two things. A) Our "leadership" in Canada will 1000% give up and hope to negotiate for their own continued power and authority (bc they're booklickers in their souls). B) There are 40M people in this country, and more landmass than the US. The insurgency will be *endless*.

Reminder that 70% of mining in Latin America involves a Canadian transnational corporation. Canada benefits from the exploitation of the global south—and has an interest when the US props up pro capitalist leaders in these countries.

The “Venezuela distracts from Epstein” line is ridiculous because 1) many awful things happen at once 2) Same Iran-Contra crowd pushing Venezuela invasion are or were involved with Epstein/Maxwell 3) Epstein associates (for ex, Dershowitz) want Iran invasion and see Venezuela as a test run for Iran
