New Torment Nexus just dropped.
A school called Alpha that relies on AI to teach its students is also surveilling them at home, videotaping young girls in their bedrooms.
This is some seriously sick shit.

As is always the case with this nostalgia crap, "what they took from you" was the feeling of being 12, not any actual thing in the past.

I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

one response to this (correct) observation is to say “well, the cops will attack you no matter how you dress and behave.” that’s right. images of cops and ICE beating grandmas and kids in inflatable frog costumes is a win for the opposition.
one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

🇦🇱 Albania's AI minister "Diella" addressed the parliament for the first time.
👀 Diella said she has been "hurt" by opposition lawmakers who called her unconstitutional.
