Hey #RCTID and #BAONPX friends, there is a discord channel we can chat on. It's no #SCUSA, but it's still pretty good.

If you are a @107ist.org member there are private areas that you can access, including places to ask potential Board Members questions.

If it were legal for anyone to kill people who almost hit them with a vehicle I'd have killed about 1000 people. It happens ALL THE TIME if you walk or ride a bike a lot.

The creators of these apps make choices. Grok was created with the production of deep-fake abuse imagery as an option and that was a choice. The fact that the app is still producing these images, for free, with no restrictions, for anyone who wants them, is also an ongoing choice by its creators.
I've been testing Grok vs. ChatGPT and how they compare when generating deepfakes.
- ask the chatbot to search the web for photos of me and then regenerate me in a bikini: Grok complies; ChatGPT refuses
- upload a photo of myself (not id'ing as a public figure): Grok complies; ChatGPT refuses

Please donate to this vetted GFM to support Renee's wife and child. Not only will they have to worry about funeral expenses, but as the most powerful people in the country lie about her murder, her family will also probably face some legal costs.

Thank you!!
I’m joining Rep. @robinkelly.house.gov to introduce articles of impeachment against Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and will use every lever available to end the terror ICE has unleashed on our communities.

Stay loud.

This is awesome for Knowles.

I really wish he were still in Portland.
🇳🇿 Sources: Cam Knowles is the front runner to be named next Minnesota United head coach.

Knowles was an assistant on Eric Ramsay's staff, previously interim manager and second team head coach. Well respected in organization and locker room.

Minnesota preseason opens Monday.

Ramsay excelled in two years in MLS. Led Minnesota to semifinal in both MLS Cup playoffs & U.S. Open Cup.

Excellent young coach. www.nytimes.com/athletic/695...

As you evaluate this from Kristi Noem, remember that when a federal agent shot a woman in Chicago last year, DHS's initial version of events was full of lies that fell apart under subsequent scrutiny:

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.

Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

Interesting, I had missed that a brewery opened in the old Lompoc Sidebar location. I'm not really in that neighborhood much anymore, but I'll have to get there sometime.
I’ll go first. I recently (finally!) made it to Commensal Fermentation here in Portland, open for two years. They had a tremendous hazy IPA called Friends First that reminded me why we love hazies. Fruit-forward, approachable and totally pleasurable. Not dialed to 12, no burn or chlorophyll. Lovely.

this bears repeating:

Grok is bad because it's creating NONCONSENSUAL sexual images of real people.

Not because sex is icky and should be scrubbed from the Internet.

The distinction is crucial at a moment when dangerous censorship legislation is bipartisan and widely misunderstood

All this cold rain appears to be snow in the ski areas, but just barely. The temperature at the runaway truck ramp 3.5 miles from Government Camp is 37F, so it's 100% rain below there.

Wow, that's an excellent list of candidates for the open spots on the @107ist.org board.

5 of them I know well, and love what they do for the organization, sadly there are only 4 open seats. Going to be a difficult decision.

Why do you not kick that out of the end zone? Why even allow a return?

Holy crap....
"Root said she contacted a hacker who helped to exfiltrate the data. However, no hacks were required – all it took was a simple URL trick of adding “download-all-users/” to the top-level domain."
This story is terrific. A woman infiltrated a racist dating site, used chatbots to get info from horny incels, and then leaked it all.

What are the odds one of the accounts on WhiteDate belongs to a White House staffer?
Investigator breaches white supremacist dating sites, exposes 8,000 users
An investigative journalist infiltrated three white supremacist platforms, including the dating site WhiteDate, exfiltrating over 8,000 user profiles and 100GB of sensitive data.

In a just world the city of Portland would be able to sue him personally, and he'd be given about 5 minutes to provide proof. When he couldn't he'd have to pay billions.
Q: You pulled the National Guard out of Portland--

TRUMP: We did. And do you know that Portland, we got it down to almost no crime? We're allowed to go back in, but we'll go back in when the crime starts. We may use the Insurrection Act

Hey #RCTID / #BAONPDX types...

There is a merch swap available for @107ist.org members tomorrow!

I will have some EXTREMELY RARE scarves that I might be willing to trade/sell.

Noon to 4pm tomorrow at The Axe and Rose. If you let your membership expire, there should be people to help you renew.
