what possible justification are apple and google using to keep a kiddie porn generator in their app stores?
I want to highlight this important story by my friends @nbcnews.com - www.nbcnews.com/tech/interne... "The Internet Watch Foundation said it found topless images of girls that dark web forum users attributed to xAI’s Grok Imagine." <-- the AI generated CSAM / NCII immediately escapes containment
Dark web users cite Grok as tool for making 'criminal imagery' of kids, U.K. watchdog says

The full Weiss memo is dogshit
-who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT
-who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison
—who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

I mean do you love ur kid or do u love ur kid’s gender. All these stupid reveal parties have done is encourage parents to fall in love with some sort of gender fantasy rather than the child and that has done nothing but bad things for the world.
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

i continue to be mildly surprised at how bad and unprofessional bluesky moderation is. i guess this is what happens when tech people have to manage a social network of people they genuinely don't like.

Bluesky’s head of trust & safety responding with a sarcastic image macro to a woman upset her husband was kidnapped by ICE is embarrassingly unprofessional & cruel behavior.
that account was then banned by Bluesky Trust & Safety. horrendously poor community management. what purpose does this serve?

Puberty blockers: why politicians overriding doctors sets a dangerous precedent
The government’s ban on puberty blockers undermines clinical expertise and targets trans youth with a policy that lacks evidence, consistency and fairness.

my most 'woke' opinion is that prisons should have the structure and stigma of medical quarantine. stabilize people, change conditions, and monitor relapse risk.
remove the performative cruelty and perverse levels of vengeance. measure success by improved health and victim repair.

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Susan Lipper’s photographic series Grapevine was shot over four years from 1988 to 1992.
The series takes its name from Grapevine Branch in West Virginia, a small community where Susan found herself for a while after graduating the Yale photography programme.

now that the dust has settled on the kirk shooting and with the benefit of hindsight and the kimmel thing playing out i sure hope bluesky's leadership is asking itself why their mod team so instinctively behaved exactly the way this fascist administration wanted them to before even having been asked

every article that uses this AI program's "name" and "face" in the headline is 100% playing into the PR push. they don't give a shit about the tone of the coverage, they just want to make the name and face recognizable. this is patient-zero of making AI "actors" a thing.

watching cities bulldoze significant landmarks and, as if to mock us, preserve some tiny fragment like a corpse mounted on display. feels more like set dressing than preservation. a hollow gesture to say "look, we care about history" while erasing the very thing that gave the neighborhood character.

pornography bans and censorships make no sense to me bc sexuality is quite literally part of being human.. suppressing that part or acting like it's gross is never going to be good, we've already been there, not even for teens who go through a lot of hormonal changes and should safely learn about it

given what we know now - the scale of anti-trans legislation, the coordinated campaigns at every level of government, and the real-world violence that follows - i don’t see how we can keep asking a marginalized group to stay defenseless.
