OVER A MILLION USERS DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT EVERY *WEEK* what the fuck are we DOING here

In Super Mario Sunshine, there is a small plant in Gelato Beach that raises a staircase when sprayed with water. In the files, an unused, presumably corrupt animation for it exists that shows it slowly stretching in an unsettling manner.

One thing I also wish more people understood about fair use doctrine in the United States is that it is not the get out of jail free card that they seem to think it is. It does not stop companies from coming after you, and the burden is on you to prove that you're in the right.

Haha yesss. Japanese copyright law doesn't fuck around. Since I get challenged on this a lot: U.S. and Japan are both Berne Convention signatories, meaning the copyright is recognized between countries. They CAN go after American companies. And they are. And I love it. variety.com/2025/digital...

Frankenstein is available to stream on Netflix today, so expect a bunch of “I don’t get the big deal” takes from people uninterested in the movie who half-watched it on their phones.

since chatgpt has coached another young person in a mental health crisis to their death, I am yet again tapping the sign

Can I say (sorry to jump off this post with this shit) I’m honestly worried about propaganda and chat tools that will encourage seniors to harm themselves or kill themselves as they become an economic problem capitalism doesn’t want to solve

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

A coworker asked me why I wasn't in our workplace fantasy football league. I told her I don't gamble and I hate sports. She looked at me like a parent who's about to say "I'll love you no matter how you choose to live your life"

If you read the terms of the package it’s a bunch of highly improbable goals Tesla could not reach in a reasonable time frame so this is literally just a “special boy wants attention” deal. Elon wants the press to report on it to “trigger” libs and look cool to his little rube followers

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

I feel like if multiple different versions of Peter Parker met up, and one of them mentioned he'd been to outer space, that's all the other ones would want to talk about

Unfortunately, I haven’t received any donations more than a week… I’m writing this today from the deepest part of my heart. My family and I are living in Gaza under extremely difficult and heartbreaking conditions. Even the simplest necessities of life have become hard to obtain gofund.me/50a9682b

Hello..👋 My name is Mahmoud. I live in Gaza. 😔 I live under the rubble of our house. 💔 And our suffering continues. 😔 gofund.me/a1fffdbd

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

The immigrant detention facilities have always been a huge red flag to me for children and even adults going missing and being trafficked. People absolutely disappeared. And it's only gotten worse now, of course. Who could benefit from such a thing? The predator class

It's ludicrous to think that today's Democrats can be in the same tent as Democratic socialists/progressives/leftists. Democrats today are Bush era Republicans, worse probably. They are transphobic Zionists who love capitalism, segregated schools and aren't moved by shredded brown/Black babies

Donations have stopped. I feel exhausted and in pain — no one hears me, no one cares about our suffering. We are on the edge of another wave of genocide. I can’t handle this news anymore. We are all drained, anxious, and afraid. Please, stand with us.😥 @mommunism.bsky.social

My partner and I have made a donation to a local non-profit that runs food pantries specifically for families with children. We're also contributing to a local charity that provides boxed Thanksgiving kits to families in need. This is the stuff we originally invented government in order to provide.

if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this. can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

Death, destruction, displacement – this is how my family feels in these difficult circumstances. Every minute that passes here is hell for my family. No schools, no homes, no places to serve people. Your support sustains me gofund.me/f575df23 @mommunism.bsky.social

I’m Reem, from Gaza💔 I’m suffering from severe malnutrition and anemia my body is getting weaker every day. I often feel dizzy from hunger, and I barely have the strength to stand. Winter has already begun, and I still live in a torn tent cold, hungry, and sick. gofund.me/de96cb50

Hello everyone, Support’s been limited lately. We’re starting our third mission: buying winter clothes. My family has 7 members, and warm clothes are costly. Please help if you can — even a small donation helps. Who will be donor #53 for my family? 😟❤️ chuffed.org/project/1488...

When can we look forward to this?

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

I don’t know why people stopped hearing or seeing us in the last days, but I won’t let despair reach me. Hope still lives in you, my dear family since the very first day on this platform, from whom I draw my strength and faith that goodness still exists.🙏😔 GFM 》 gofund.me/d04964ba2

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models. OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so. A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

Lubna needs $350 to winterize her family's apartment, which is damaged and exposed to cold, but nevertheless better than a tent. @mommunism.bsky.social 💛

Woke up today to the news

Today is another illustration that one should live one's life so as not to have one's death celebrated

And arguably, the cognitive decline of Americans began with “No Child Left Behind” a strategic plan to sabotage public education. Literacy of every kind—including historical and scientific—has never recovered. This is SO obvious from the outside. America is alienated from the world, Cheney did that
