Not sure how bad the deepfake problem is? Read Stella's farewell thread.
This is an extreme form of remote sexual harassment that can now be used to target anyone, regardless of platform, in seconds. Despite news stories focusing mostly on CSAM it's still unchecked and rampant on Twitter.

I‘m discontinuing my social media use for the foreseeable future and I want to explain why.
I woke up in the new year to discover that some guy on here had saved photos I took on New Year’s Eve and used Grok to remove my clothes. I know this because he showed me.

A really sad follow-up to this story — Alexis Erlinmeyer, one of the trans federal intelligence workers who was fired, has died of a pulmonary embolism. She was 31. Her family is burying her under her deadname, so friends are fundraising for an accurate memorial: www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-...
NEW—In late Feb, Chris Rufo published leaked chats between queer/trans employees at US intel agencies. Then Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said she’d fire all involved.
I spoke to chat members who were fired, are on admin leave, and who kept their jobs about the new lavender scare:

It's been a wild first few days of the year, but I'm gonna try kicking in a resolution I've been bad at to this point: "like but don't repost" primarily when it comes to political or world on fire content.
Like, the world is crap enough and without a drafts folder, I need to self-regulate better.

You don't have to listen to these professional liars who are barely trying. 9 months ago they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty
Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

The ultimate root problem here is that the American public chose to vote in a dementia-addled narcissist, all the more serious people in the room who were there to keep him at least partially in check the first time around resigned, so now there are only racist enablers in the room.

The thing about this is when enough people resign, eventually the people in charge find someone who's willing to follow those orders.
Notably, the SOUTHCOM commander resigned last month.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

If you’re not from Philly you can’t understand. The city is fortified for the entire year with that punishing drone of saxophones that sound like kindergarten toys and the pubescent cicada buzz of the banjos. Without it Philadelphia is vulnerable to her enemies
The Mummers Parade was quintessentially Philadelphia — not perfect but scrappy. High winds caused an unprecedented postponement of the string band competition for the first time in 125 years.
2026 Mummers Parade drew thousands to a Philly tradition despite disruptive high winds

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.
