The photos in the datasets were overwhelmingly of women, including adult performers, influencers, and celebrities, but also women who are definitely not famous. Secret Desires removed the faceswap feature earlier this year, but the leak is a look at how people used it www.404media.co/ai-porn-secr...

There is a micro generation of us for whom Pete and Pete was the defining half hour show of our lives.

A significant portion of the Democratic Party does not want to defeat Republicans.

What does it mean to be “Moderate” in the face of starving children? In the face of Fascism? in the face of the destruction of the White House both metaphorically and in dirt and stone? It means losing. It means losing America.

Somehow I think only @alinaisyou.bsky.social my be the only person equipped to see my vision on this

This might be the strangest thought I’ve had today and the strangest thing you’ll read (that isn’t current events): I think Sabrina Carpenter could do an amazing cover of Placebo’s “Nancy Boy”. I think her musical style and cadence would fit perfectly.

Sometimes you just have to call your wife a “robber baron” while playing Mario Party 8

ON THE LITERAL EVE OF A DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST MAYOR BEING ELECTED, ANNA WINTOUR KILLS PROGRESSIVE AND PROFITABLE TEEN VOGUE POLITICS DESK WHICH HAD JUST INTERVIEWED HIM *That’s* the headline. (Unfortunately there’s hardly any news outlet left to run it 😭)

I’ve been reading “Where Are Your Boys Tonight”, between that & my understanding of the early days of MP3s & the iPod, it’s clear to me we got very lucky that the people behind early digital music & social media actually cared about music.

Big Barda by Jorge Jimenez & Matthew Nickerson

This is just reporting. This is what headlines in the New York Times and your local paper should look like every day. The New Yorker should be publishing stuff like this, only with an umlaut thrown in occasionally for some fucken reason.

there’s a new ad running at wapo where you can access all of their articles for free without a sub if you read using comet, an ai-powered browser controlled by perplexity perplexity is an amazon-backed ai product i have no other words, really

If Norman Rockwell were alive today, he would be devastated to see that his own work has been marshalled for the cause of persecution toward immigrant communities and people of color. The Rockwell family 🧵

Only two more days of racist attacks on Mamdani’s campaign, and then, God willing, it will be time to pivot to corporate media’s steady barrage of racist attacks on his administration! (Being a hopeful realist, here.) (God willing actually he’ll do such a great job that it’ll spark Some Things…)

I’m heartbroken that my rabbinic colleagues are focused on Mamdani, while Jew-hatred that consumed the lives of synagogue goers has become official GOP — and government — policy. Thanks to @theradr.bsky.social for encouraging me to submit this to The Forward.

Unpopular Opinion: AI exists because we refuse to tell people to accept obvious limitations. Not everyone can sing, write, draw, etc. If we want to stop AI we need to be constructively critical of ppl who can’t sing, can’t write, can’t draw, etc.

You gotta be fucking kidding me.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

The part of Jennifer’s Body that aged most poorly is emo guys thinking Adam Levine is cool

Judge rules George R.R. Martin and other authors can sue OpenAI for copyright infringement • Said ChatGPT generated 'Game of Thrones' content similar enough to infringe copyright • OpenAI’s motion to dismiss was denied

shame on this schmuck. none of us are free until all of us are free.

Sometimes the world seems like a bad place But sometimes all four of your cats and your wife are watching hockey with you on the couch And for a moment it doesn’t seem so bad

Gary Larson dropping Cow Tools in 1982

One year ago, I went on CNN and expressed my concern that if Harris lost after not defending trans people that somehow the takeaway would still be that trans people were the reason. I hate being right! www.readtpa.com/p/watch-the-...

I read this old article that GDT entertained the idea of making a Phantom of the Opera set in the 30s and now it's literally all I can think of every minute of the day

Baskin-Robbins Beatle Nut Ice Cream (1964-1964): Pistachio ice cream with walnuts and a fudge ripple, released to commemorate the Beatles first American tour.

I continue to be baffled by the Google Pixel commercial that portrays iPhones as 🍦 1. I like ice cream. So it’s like holding up a kitten & saying “this represents something bad.” Just give me that thing. 2. I am forever baffled at vanilla being used as a term for basic. Vanilla is its own flavor.

This is impeachable. No gray area.

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens? You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate? Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again. www.thefarside.com/new-stuff/

Latest Song vs Song episode: @shadowtodd.bsky.social: “sorry we did all the good emo matchups” Me, still waiting on so many including a TBS vs Brand New ep:

Liberals have this mental model they keep trying to update where they try to fit the words and actions of right wingers into a consistent moral framework while in reality what the right believes is "I should get everything I want" and "I can say or do anything to get that"

folks who know me understand i am not holding back here out of some desire to avoid offending the right. i care about being correct and at this moment i do not feel confident declaring this guy a groyper or a leftist or a centrist or anything but terminally online.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Finally got around to playing Avowed. Think it might be the only Obsidian game I’ve enjoyed playing, but (and I mean this as a compliment) that’s probably because it’s a hybrid of Halo 3 and Skyrim.

After Max goes back to HBO Max, it goes back to being HBO, then Home Box Office, then Sterling Cable Network, then Manhattan Cable, as the grass grows back into the ground and we all marvel at Video Jukebox, George Carlin Specials and G-String Divas

Today I saw a cybertruck out the front window of the coffee shop I work at. I’ll have to reach out to my union rep to see if I’m eligible for workers comp.
