Kind of an awkward PSA because I've had some artist mutuals recommend these sites/tools, but
"ai image detection" tools are snake oil, and I feel like nobody bothered to scrutinize them.
So I opened photoshop cs6, drew a smiley face, and uploaded it to the "accurate" detector:

Best Buy has an unskippable AI call service now, and it's so efficient that if you're trying to return a call from the Geek Squad, instead one phone call that takes 5 minutes, it now takes half hour and 2-4 phone calls to get the extension from a human call center, to BYPASS the AI.

Democrats truly have no idea how to appeal to literally anyone.
"Gen Z-led progressive content." Genuinely what an insult. From the private-prison, pro-Israel, scripted talk show interviewee who has done nothing but sit in front of an iphone going, "I told you so" for a year. Fuck offfff

Landlords sent a girl to replace all the staircaps (our roommate broke one cause they were installed completely wrong) and it has trapped 2 of my roommates upstairs.

It’s day 64 of the ICE occupation of MSP.
Today ICE officers once again arrested observers at gunpoint, caused lockdowns of neighborhood schools, and harassed people on the street simply for their skin color.
Nothing has changed, despite the rhetoric from “leaders.”

I'm aware my thoughts on stomp-clap sounding stuff and the Struts are bad and generic but I stand by New Politics
Worked through and gotten over enough things from my college years, I can listen to stomp-clap rock (the most hopeful genre of rock in the 21st century) again.

I'm sorry but the funniest thing about all this is my dude just had the JC Penney's head shot on deck ready to go for this moment
🚨 Documents leaked to me reveal a federal watchlist of American protesters suspected of being Antifa - including its supposed leader.
One Department of Homeland Security document says a 29-year-old resident of Portland "is the leader of Antifa":

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.
Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.
But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:
