This is 404 Media's @jasonkoebler.bsky.social waving at himself through a Flock camera; one of 60 we learned was left exposed to the open internet. Not only could anyone with a link livestream it, but some admin portals were open with no login credentials required. www.404media.co/flock-expose...

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism. That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Oh hey let’s check in on the CEO of Oura to see his surprising take on regulation.

The only thing his racist base can agree on. Having a group below them is almost as good as slavery.

CBS News chief Bari Weiss pulls 60 Minutes story Weiss said investigation had to include comments from Trump administration 60M's ⁦‪Sharyn Alfonsi‬⁩ said multiple US agencies refused to comment - and this lets WH veto coverage My NPR story www.npr.org/2025/12/22/g...

Oh why would they? Palantir is only on an explicit mission to keep US military superiority intact to “save the West”! “Journalists find Swiss government rejected company over fears US intelligence might gain access to sensitive data” www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Note that OpenAI only took these down after being notified by the journalist rather than, oh I don’t know, not releasing a technology that made uses like this possible.

Opposing this amounts to opposing basic human decency. Which is precisely *the* point, for racists.

The fact that it is not even clear what this actually means — the article is in Google-ese — practically says it all

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

Vile.

Ditelo a quella banda di pagliacci ipocriti che sposano razzismo e fede cristiana — o così dicono

Nobody wants white people to apologize for being white. JD Vance should personally apologize for lying about immigrants to fuel race-based hate, for having no deeper values beyond a commitment to JD Vance and his career.

Meanwhile, the UK’s equivalent of the Dutch SyRi scandal (excessive data sharing and surveillance of benefit recipients, resulting in flat-out wrong and occasionally batshit errors) has been met not with government resignations but with a shrug. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

Il Corriere menzionava ieri nella cronaca politica, pagine interne, l’effimera possibilità di una crisi di governo. Oggi c’è un’intervista a Donzelli che dice, con richiamo in prima, ma quale crisi di governo va tutto benissimo signora.

I Cerno e i Capezzone non potranno tollerarlo e andranno sulle barricate sicuramente!

Bari Weiss is killing stories the right way. by Ezra Klein

Attendiamo con l’ansia l’indignazione dei martiri nostrani della libera espressione, quelli che il woke la cancel culture il fascismo degli antifascisti e milioni di altre cazzate analoghe — ma quando si censura zitti 🤡

Sharyn Alfonsi is an award-winning journalist who has worked for 60 Minutes for 20 years. Before that she reported for ABC, CBS & local news outlets. If Alfonsi says her story was spiked by Bari Weiss political reasons, that’s exactly what happened. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

The person who made the decision to hold this story has never been a news reporter or a news editor. Really sickening.

“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.”

Crickets from the free speech bros on this, of course.

“On the neo-Nazi far-right, adoption of AI-voice cloning software has already become particularly prolific, with several English-language versions of Adolf Hitler’s speeches garnering tens of millions of streams” www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Already unacceptable to use LLMs to draft filings and even worse, if you do, not to have checked the citations. But if you ARE going to do that, why of all LLMs out there would you use *GROK*?

It won’t make the blind bit of difference to Labour’s policy. Their immigration stance has never had anything to do with reality.

I would not be an academic if I had not followed an English language BA in International Economics in my hometown of Milan. Studying economics among a multitude of nationalities allowed me to grow as a researcher.

An immigrant works a dangerous job to protect Americans. It puts him in medical debt. Now he also has to worry about being deported by ICE when he goes to work or takes his kid to a soccer tournament. Feel safer?

Già, invece lasciare che un mafioso coi suoi amichetti fascisti e assassini si spartiscano l’Europa sarebbe sicuramente un guadagno netto. Che pagliacci

Just happen to be reading this today: “Privacy nicks come from the proliferation of cameras and biometric sensors on doorbells, glasses, and watches, and the drift of surveillance and data analytics into new areas of our lives like travel, exercise, and social gatherings.”

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

I would rather walk in on my parents watching porno than catch them reading this

Toh, le stesse cose che dicono svariati “pacifisti” nostrani, a destra e a sinistra

“Nepal is just one of at least 150 countries to which Chinese companies are supplying surveillance tech, from cameras in Vietnam to censorship firewalls in Pakistan to citywide monitoring systems in Kenya. This tech is now a key part of China’s push for global influence” apnews.com/article/chin...

Funny, because Orbán will see that the idea is actually not dead. Russia’s constant escalations will likely force Europe to use the assets. The war is far from over, and Orbán has done everything he could to ensure it doesn’t end by helping the aggressor

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines. It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States. And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).
