For those who missed it, Reddit users have figured out that many of the blank PDF files in the Epstein files are actually videos when you change the extension to .mov or .avi.

That's how much they care about protecting victims.
Just want to point out that these videos are still live in the Epstein files and at least a few of them are CSAM, many others NSFW, some include violence involving torture of prisoners convicted of sex crimes.

Strong warning to not go looking. It includes video of Epstein molesting girls.

On the plus side, at least we know for sure now that Meta *know* they're doing evil shit, and now they know that we know that, and we know that they know that we know that

Feels like that's gonna be useful in a future lawsuit
this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.
My most authoritarian opinion is that the MMR vaccine should be mandatory, with only medical (not religious or floofy) exemptions allowed. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

That's my senator. :)
ICE and CBP are using facial recognition to surveil Americans and target protesters.

No transparency. No accountability.

We need to pass my ICE Out of Our Faces Act to ban this abuse and defend our constitutional rights.

And prosecute those who set up the camps, the who authorized the camps, those who run the camps and probably some others I'm forgetting
There are 70,000 people in DHS concentration camps. 3000 are children. Close the camps. Being our neighbors home.

Absolutely do NOT give your ID or face scan on Discord. It's even worse than expected. Apparently due to people bypassing current systems, they're switching to "persona" which is funded by fucking Peter Thiel.

hi, cis folks!

if you’re in kansas, please call & tell your state senator & representative that revoking trans people’s documents & setting bounties on trans folks using the bathroom is fucked. tell them to support a veto—yes, even republicans.

contact info: reps.fyi

find talking points in the QP
The Kansas State Legislature just passed SB 244, an extremist bill which cruelly targets trans people and their access to restrooms and accurate identity documents.

Kansans: The time to act is NOW. 🚨

Contact your legislators and urge them to SUPPORT the veto of SB 244: tinyurl.com/2m77hbkk

Look at this review! Legitimately proud of myself. As I forge this new identity as an adult entertainer—as I navigate the world as someone whose sexuality is finally, belatedly being perceived—I’m creating pornography that is both personal and political. And hot.

I'm sure this will be a gift for stalkers and domestic abusers.
I missed this comment before, and in case the ring/flock divorce suggests to you that ring is any less evil, consider the prospect of ring or ring users getting to decide who has “dementia” and then uploading them to their digital dragnet.

Solidarity means we are all neighbors, everywhere, always. Don't wait for some magical change. We are always who was coming to save us.
something from minnesota that i would like people to learn, that i don’t think is hitting people yet:

helping MN is good. people need it. but people in your community need mutual aid too. care. resources. food. outside of times of crisis.

and you can help.

Ring has done this before. They partner with cops, get backlash, withdraw a bit, wait for it to calm down, and then go right back to working with cops. Don't believe this spin.

The second, though, is that able-bodied people often think of someone being "wheelchair bound."

For most who use them, the wheelchair is not the issue. The frailty of the body is an issue - the wheelchair is a solution. The disability is what binds you, but the wheelchair provides *freedom.*

I'll get the first, Doylist reason out of the way quick - because star trek is a way to talk about our society and its future, and medicine is only as good as the plot says it is.

Geordi had a visor for the same reason. Picard, an artificial heart.
