Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun.

Any second now, I'm sure.

He was a white guy, if that helps?

Hello? NRA?

Because I am angry I will share this again. One of the reasons that Israel is able to target individuals so precisely is that it collects every phone call in Gaza and stores the recordings in Microsoft Azure, then uses AI to analyze and pick targets.

I wrote for Slate about how a conservative think tank plans to "identify and target" Wikipedia editors who it claims are abusing their position—a dangerous escalation that shifts the fight from debating edits to going after the editors themselves.

Elon Musk has shared this fake E! News video on X, which claims USAID has paid millions to Hollywood celebrities to visit Ukraine.

The clip, now community noted, is the work of a well-known Russian disinformation campaign that creates fake videos of news outlets to push anti-Ukrainian narratives.

Holy moly. I'm trying to write an academic paper, and nearly every application I'm using is not only offering Generative AI as an option for writing, but *pushing it* -- pervading the design to the point where a simple misclick would make my content AI-generated. Here's why that's a problem. 🧵

Here’s the most charitable reading I can offer:

The tech barons behaved as though they were atop a social hierarchy, and expected mass adoration for their generosity+forgiveness for mistakes.

Instead, Elizabeth Warren, Lina Khan et al treated them like the heads of *massive corporations.*

O genocídio, o instrumentalização da justiça, o uso da polícia como milícia política, as sanções à imprensa que o critica. Netanyahu tem tudo, só não tem uma oposição firme das democracias.
The resolution to boycott Haaretz which passed in today's gov meeting without legal review is another step in Netanyahu's journey to dismantle democracy. Like his friends Putin, Erdoğan & Orbán, Netanyahu is trying to silence critical, independent media. Haaretz will not balk

A melhor coluna do @rogeriocasanova.bsky.social há muito tempo: limpa e sincera no seu pessimismo antropológico. Curioso é concluir que todos os espaços online tendem para a "merdificação", sem referir que era o que já dizia o próprio Richard Kyanka. www.publico.pt/2024/11/24/o...

Here's my proper "Bluesky has the juice!" take:

Bluesky is the Ship of Theseus.

Piece by piece, they have acquired and refashioned all the essential parts of old-Twitter.

The pieces still missing are the ones that we were ultimately better off without.
