Still thinking about the time someone wanted Grok to nudify Anne Hathaway but wasn't specific enough

This is an interesting piece about how NYT is using AI in its newsroom. (tl;dr: they generate transcripts of the podcasts they're tracking, those transcripts gets summarized, those summaries get delivered in a report to journalists)

you gotta hand it to the old military industrial complex-they used to have STYLE. compare these logos for lockheed/northrop/grumman against palantir/anduril

Dr Oz invited Jeffrey Epstein to his Valentines Day party in 2016:

Just had a post by Stacey Tank pop up on my LinkedIn feed and it rung a bell. Tank, CEO of 'Bespoke Beauty Brands' is on the Board of Directors of CoreCivic. Her LinkedIn says she is "Dedicated to Positive Impact on Society & Environment."

'no no no I flew on jeffrey's other plane, the pnin express'

Jeffrey Epstein emailed himself a list of billionaires, subject line "billionaire"

My experience will resume? Is life not one continuous experience, regardless of any safety announcement?

this is what all my emails say fyi

well well well look what I found

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

journalists are workers who deserve to be paid fairly for our labor and I think that far too few consumers of media recognize or even care about this fact

This video by @snmrrw.bsky.social will set your hair on fire.

The Palantir subreddit is so unhinged, guys that take offense to people criticizing their investment. So brainwashed.

Has anyone seen a consolidated list of people who sent emails to Jeffrey Epstien? Not interested in a more broad list of everyone ‘in’ the emails.

“A new study suggests that the long-term antidepressant effects of psychedelics may be driven by persistent changes in how neurons fire rather than by the permanent growth of new brain cell connections.”

I left the protest at least two hours after the big march got gassed, and when I took my mask off three blocks away from the ICE building the gas was still heavy in the air. The disproportionate size of the attack is as big a story as the peaceful, vulnerable crowd. You didn't have to get close.

why are peter thiel's dietary restrictions redacted in the epstein files? what the hell is that dude not eating

Jeffrey Epstein was offered "100 million of spotify at 5 b valuation" and asked Peter Thiel for "thoughts?" Then asked Thiel for "thoughts" on Thiel's own "Palentir" (sic) which Thiel said he was "bullish" on. Did Epstein own a chunk of Palantir? Spotify?

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:

Here's another fun fact about CoreCivic's executive leadership. One of its board members is Thurgood Marshall, Jr, son of the legendary civil rights lawyer and Supreme Court Justice. I'm sure dad is very proud his son is presiding over concentration camps.

Wow this building is so conveniently labeled for where I am in relation to it

How am I just learning that the new CEO of one of the biggest private prison contractors and government price gougers is named Pat D Swindle

You can however boycott ModRetro the GameBoy replica company owned by Anduril’s Palmer Luckey. Anduril is an AI weapons company that also builds surveillance towers for CBP.

I cancelled my Palantir+ subscription

I love it when infographics are like ‘boycot Palantir and Lockheed Martin’ like yeah, word, on it.

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence: "Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

Sometimes in a docuseries this same scene is used in the end of an episode as a big reveal, like "that bad guy we talked about the whole time? oh yeah, we booked him" which I honestly kinda hate cuz its like the producers pointing out they're good at their job as part of the narrative of their piece

My entire sports allegiance is 'anti new england.' I watch sports to cheer against the Patriots and Red Sox The Eagles-Patriots Superbowl was my all time favorite sports event-I have no ties to philly. My 2018 facebook watch show beating Tom Brady's in views is my proudest career accomplishment.

fb memories finally reminded me of somethign worthwile: that jd salinger and howard zinn died on the same day in 2010

"internet finds proof"

"Morale in the field is at an all-time low" -ICE agent Allen Martin in... 2003, just months after the founding of ICE.

George W Bush signed the bill to create the Department of Homeland Security on November 25th, which is my birthday. It's a birthday I share with Barbara and Jenna Bush, GWBs twin daughters. W. created the Department of Homeland Security on his daughters' birthday.

I dont think we need to get rid of ALL law enforcement. We still need financial regulation, environmental regulation, consumer protection, and maybe some non-Flock speeding and red light cameras.

Okay I think I've mapped out ICE politics as of Monday night

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

We need to get it broadly understood that Stephen Miller's ethnic cleansing will result in a permanent metastasized immigrant carceral state and paramilitary warfare on US streets that goes on *for years.* The internal logic of his agenda dictates this of necessity. newrepublic.com/article/2041...

Cernovich is claiming protesters have "hearing loss machines" which is weird considering CBP has several contracts for LRAD systems-those are Long Range Acoustic Devices-which broadcast loud high-frequency sounds, often used for crowd dispersal.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

all i have to say is that certainly the mind behind dhs' social posts, and the mindset of a lot of people in this admin, the online nazi mindset, is "there is a plague on this country we must eliminate and anyone who stands against us is a brainwashed race traitor," and theyre acting accordingly

Not only does ICE need to be abolished, but there should be publically aired tribunals for as long as it takes to hold every last one of these thugs accountable. No one, not even the people who file paperwork or handle payroll, should be immune from prosecution.

The video of the latest apparent ICE killing shows them repeatedly shooting someone after they had already been beaten and were being held down by multiple agents.

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

ICE killed another Minnesotan. there is video and it is very bad. www.facebook.com/share/r/1aPB...

Elon in 2022: "The overwhelming focus is solving self-driving... so thats the difference between Tesla being worth a lot of money and being worth basically zero."

informal q for Americans: how much were you taught about the moral failings of America in school? Where/when? Public or private? I went to public school in NY suburbs and we did a whole unit on WWII internment camps in 7th grade. I graduated in 2007. I remember being assigned a Zinn book in HS too.

I cant even imagine caring what someone else wears in public.
