This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them www.404media.co/ai-porn-secr...

It’s especially weird that this is a gospel. In context, the real Matthew 18:19 verse is Jesus speaking to a child. Like what would the context be around this? It doesn’t even seem like a line that would be part of a Biblical story.

Olivia Nuzzi got sent in to do a profile but it turned out she wanted to fuck the subject so we sent in Jacob Bernstein to profile her and it turns out he also wants to fuck the subject

It’s so much more embarrassing that the people doing this are comfortably well off and could totally do it if they actually wanted to

This guy is right but also they should stop making James Bond movies and I don’t care what their rationale is for doing so

It keeps getting stranger. Why do they have a backdrop if they're just gonna have the cameraman walk on and show that it's her kitchen? It's a weird combination of lazy and trying too hard and

Not everything needs an article

This mask always makes me laugh. i don't like to look at the other one..

Only reasonable response is to stay off social media as much as possible. This shit cannot be useful to you. It’s not real. Anything real on these sites is just volunteering itself to these parasites

I had at least 1 black friend when I was five years old and this led to me having a near-religious reverence for MLK, and I thought this was kind of normal. Having a nazi phase seems to me to be partly contingent on having racist parents

You must go on, I can’t go on, I’ll go on.

As Emissary points out later, Coates actually used to cite Israel as a positive example before visiting, so Jacob’s is drawing here on stereotypes of black people as antisemitic, and hoping no one checks her on it.

The study of literature should encompass all aesthetic uses of language and is only hampered by the current focus on more-or-less contemporary novels

The overvaluation of Weiss is dependent on her presumed ability to appeal to an even broader audience given more resources. In spite of the exponential growth of her newsletter, the truth is that her actual supporter base is pretty small and most of them are not only paying $10

She triumphs over her critics in the sense that people keep giving her money, but she has never been successful at actually "selling the news" as she says she wants to do. The news is supposed to appeal to a huge audience for a relatively low price and she is actually terrible at that.

The “please tell me which parts you think are broken or substandard” bit is very Elon Musk. Just rolling up to a big old organization and immediately trying to identify the parts that can be gutted and amputated.

I hear Jordan Peterson is sick again, and has again been taken into occultation by his carnivorous daughter. It’s not that I wish him ill but his problems all seem to stem from his sincere belief in his own grift

They’re really Doing The Thing as hard as they can here

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

I bought a T Shirt from an Instagram ad and the algorithm has gone insane. 100% T shirt ads. I feel like I finally said to an Aunt “I guess I like music” and now she’s like “FINALLY. I KNOW WHAT TO GET YOU FOR CHRISTMAS.”

Embarrassing

FOURTEENTH MSF WORKER IN 2 YEARS

Really interesting test for AI; not 'show a chessboard' or 'show people playing chess'. It demonstrates that the limits of this tech are very very real, and nowhere near being overcome. www.marketwatch.com/story/the-ai...

I don’t get these feelings because I’m not nostalgic about my zoomer childhood. I miss “youth” or whatever, but stuff was ugly when I was a kid. Little kids did spike their hair and there was Walmart, and it all looked like shit, and I kinda knew that even when I didn’t know anything else!

This shit is dumb but it is basically not different from Jackass. Steve-O literally got on Jackass by lighting himself on fire.

Oh my god, it’s AI, including the parts with Trump. Like they seem to have dubbed a fake Trump voice over pre-existing clips of him speaking

A lot of liberals like this are still under the impression that we can wait this out and go back to normal in 3 more years. Trump’s reelection already proves that American fascism was not just a fluke.

Is that good?

Very close to where I grew up. I heard about this from my mom before it was news. There are rules in Illinois against ICE agents making traffic stops so the people they scooped up were just people who happened to be outside.

sheesh

Exactly! The reason why the right wants to ban things like drag queen story hour is because they do not want their enemies to have any kind of public forum. To a gladhander like Klein the idea that he even has political enemies is anathema

There is a contradiction between “I want to take the stakes of politics seriously” and “I don’t want politics to be violent.” When violence gets imposed on immigrants this guy is all full of nuance, but once it’s against someone else in the pundit class it’s time to draw lines in the sand

Aside from the stupidity of defending Kirk, and the fact that he did say most of the awful things that are being attributed to him, quotes are literally pieces of text taken out of context. It's fine to do that. That's what quotes are.

I hate how dangerous the places I've never been feel!

Really thought this was gonna say “if being on a boat full of drugs is a crime punishable by extrajudicial missile strike, then take me the fuck out.”

these people need to log off. seriously. bluesky this, bluesky that, how about you look at some actual blue skies and get off the internet for ten minutes

I would read an academic murder book in which the murder was solved by reading the syllabus

I will never vote for Glenn Greenwald.

This disgusting argument rests pretty heavily on the phrase “indiscriminate war.” It’s not indiscriminate! The goal is removal of the Gazan people. It couldn’t be more obvious but this guy thinks he can play dumb to sound smart.

BREAKING: Eric Adams Advisor Winnie Greco Handed a CITY Reporter Cash Stuffed in a Bag of Potato Chips www.thecity.nyc/2025/08/20/w...

I don't usually feel vindicated when the things I expect to happen do happen (certainly haven't felt that way about anything Trump has done in office) but finally seeing these headlines feels pretty good.

From a person who was at the Town Hall. Wesley Bell has a hunger for power and he doesn't care where it comes from. Dude sucks out loud and Cori Bush deserved better

Having five homes all over the world sounds insane to me. I can't tell if it's because I would always feel guilty taking up that many resources, or if I would just never be that nice to myself. Either way you just have to become a wandering hobo at that point

They are Definitely Not Giants

Straight up one of the best short stories I’ve ever read.

This guy’s aesthetic ideal was always a big shiny building that looks like it was designed to blind people driving past it. It’s still ugly. There are still no colors.

My favorite part is that it has labeled Long Island as a state called “Flode Mas”
