A """funny""" thing I've noticed is that if you see a buckwild and totally made up claim on Reddit and then search that claim on Google, trying to source it, the Gemini AI summary will be like "oh, yeah, that totally happened, and my source is that three hour old Reddit thread you were just reading"

#SaveSpeech The European Council has agreed on a version of Chat Control with "voluntary" scanning that it wishes to push forward in 2026: www.patrick-breyer.de/en/reality-c... Obviously, it's still just Big Brother and needs to be fought. Keep calling your reps: fightchatcontrol.eu

Light it up, let's go! 🔥 A new song by award-winning guitarist Tom Morello, featuring Beartooth, is making its way onto the Arcadion stage in #FFXIV! Here's a message from Tom and a preview of the upcoming track, Everything Burns!

I find it weird that the focus is always on reducing “illegal work” by stopping people from working, rather than finding ways to make their work legal and therefore allow the workers to be taxed and contribute to the economy. Also, digital ID can reduce illegal work no better than paper ID can.

Exactly. It's disingenuous to call it a purity test to say "You shouldn't be beholden to right-wing billionaires pushing right-wing policies and right-wing candidates." newrepublic.com/article/2039...

Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine) has been tapped to collaborate creating "Everything Burns", a new track featured in the Arcadion raid tier. Composer Masayoshi Soken is a fan and appears pleased.

Deep Dungeon will be updated where if you are disconnected while soloing, or if the entire party is dc'd you can resume your progress if you log back in within 10 minutes.

People need to boycott this show and not just half ass. Shame everyone who plans on watching it. This isn't about Eurovision, it's about Israel getting away with committing genocide because THERE ARE NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES. They should be untouchable by now. Everybody needs to walk the fucking walk.

SCIENTISTS: I've crunched the numbers, sir. The next generation isn't going to have enough perverts in it for our evil plans. SPIKE CHUNSOFT DEVELOPER SHINICHIRO TOMIE: There's nothing to be done. We have to create Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.

look I’m not an evangelical but “a guy calling himself the Beast wants control of your earthly wealth” feels like some kind of sign, no?

i think the inability to tell the difference between "i don't like it" and "i don't like it so i have to figure out a way to imply this thing i don't like is morally evil" is the most fundie thing i see people who are aren't technically fundie regularly do these days

So it is with no small amount of shame and frustration that I present to you what I plan to be the legitimately final GoFundMe link I ever plan to post: gofund.me/d64e4dc71

Hey everyone! Guess it's time for another round of life updates. This time we've got both good ones, bad ones and, yes, I'm afraid, the dreaded GoFundMe link. But this should actually be the last one. First the good news: After what seemed like a hopeless, fruitless job search, I'm finally 1/?

“the USPS must turn a profit” makes me want to set things on fire they put a clause in the fucking constitution about postal service, that’s how important it is nothing in there about “only if you can make money on it”

Hasbro, all the elements are in place for you to make the greatest Transformers figure ever

The University of Oklahoma is facilitating a trap used by RW Christian students against LGBTQ faculty. They put a TA on leave for rightfully flunking a student whose assignment included open slurs. There is an organized campaign to isolate LGBTQ in academia. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/12/univ...

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being. Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

the thing about extreme content in video games is that the most appalling taboo porn game on the internet is still more artstically valid and has more reason to exist than Roblox

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS. The coup was over in hours because people said no.

It's really hard to understand my aussie friends sometimes when the didgeridoo keeps blasting every time they speak

NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans. Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for. futurism.com/future-socie...

Golem from Dispatch. He's just a guy and I love him for that 🤎 #golem #dispatch #dispatchfanart #art

im not really interested in horses but if you flip your shit about what you saw on a list of content warnings i recommend sticking to putt-putt or whatever

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.

To be clear, this is just as bad as the Amazon AI dub thing. Not as much to meme about, but definitely just as bad. Remember when YouTube switched over to AI closed captions, removed the options for creators to provide their own, and then they all got immediately worse forever? This is like that.

Melania and Barron Trump have dual citizenship (US and Slovenia). Elon Musk has citizenship in the US, South Africa, and Canada.

WHY ISNT ANYONE TALKING ABOUT THIS LMAOOOOO

I'm sure it's just coincidence that Marisa keeps breaking these stories and then when the major outlets cover it hours or days later they don't link to her.

This Pluribus ad on a fridge caused a schizophrenic woman named Carol to be hospitalized.

We are recruiting game makers affected by the 'NSFW' policy changes on Steam and itch.io for a survey. This survey is part of a broader project on the factors that shape the production, distribution, and consumption of porn games. More info about the project and survey at www.pppproject.com

99% of complaints about things being better in the past boil down to "you miss not having adult responsibilities". The other 1% is that everything is manufactured to break after two years now.

See, with a case this high profile the cops needed to be sure it was air tight. Dot the i's, cross the t's. And instead they just blundered along like this was a regular arrest that nobody would call them on. You know. Standard cop behavior. Oops.

Hakeem Jeffries is an evil man. I have no other word for it. He has no morals, and happily cosigns evil deeds if he for some reason thinks it benefits him. He's also an idiot, so he's bad at seeing what actually benefits him.

Will continue to bang this drum: this is the system university admins are cramming into every aspect of education. This is the system we are told “isn’t going anywhere” so we all have to adjust to it.

Honestly after all this Banana Fish Ai dub slop, I think we all collectively owe 4kids an apology. Say whatever you will about 4kids, least they actually hired real humans that have a degree of emotion in their performances.

The tsunami of mandatory online age authentication laws will eventually reach every state, won't be restricted only to accessing online "pornography," and will expand to require mandatory identity authentication and other means to help governments surveil and control their citizens 📉📉

So at this point, I am of the belief that there is a conservative group in the background emailing companies and trying to get them to ban the game.

hoooooo boy there's gonna be some laaawwwwsuuuuuits

Every time a UBI study is done the results are always “holy shit this works so well AND is cheaper than our current bad solutions” and every lawmaker goes “well it’ll never work”

lol you'll never convince me a huge part of the reluctance isn't that there's no legal way to make UBI white-only. Lotta white people in this country are happy to lose as long as nobody Black or brown wins.

If JK Rowling herself doesn't separate her art from her transphobia, and has said she sees every Harry Potter fan as a fan of her transphobia, and uses every dollar she makes to fund transphobia, I need people to stop insisting they "separate art from artist" because it's beyond disingenuous atp

The other aspect of this “the disabled might be actually faking it” is that, everyone saying it is just a bad day away from joining all of us.
