One, I had not heard this specific example but it’s aligned with the whole history of tech. Not surprised. Just grossed out.
Two, this should be illegal. We should all care that it isn’t.

This.
Note also that AI image generators are apparently being used to generate hardcore porn derived from images from high school yearbooks, which suggests the future of robotics and AI is allowing nerds to finally score with the cheerleader they lusted after as teens.
Creepy, yet totally expected.

You simply cannot make me spend my time on this stuff. Oh the president said Tylenol causes autism? Well it doesn't. No I'm not going to pore through research papers to prove it to you. That's not what my time is for. My time is for playing videogames and gazing lovingly at my wife.

Okay, closing a loop. Many of you suggested The Onion print for a very precocious preteen.
It arrived today and it is a huge hit. HUGE.
The official verdict is, “it’s like [your old people’s] Adbusters but not so despressing.”

Signing something like this should become the kind of thing that circulates among the whisper network of hiring editors and forces you out of the profession and into PR (which is what you had apparently agreed to do anyway)
ICYMI: The Pentagon says it will require credentialed journalists at the military headquarters to sign a pledge to refrain from reporting information that has not been authorized for release — including unclassified information.
Pentagon steps up media restrictions, now requiring approval before reporting even unclassified info

"But [American Eagle's CMO Craig] Brommers told us that American Eagle is willing to make a big bet on Sweeney in hopes of grabbing the attention of Gen Z and millennial customers new and old to help boost sales."
Well, attention has been grabbed.

Pretty clear to me that one function of the fantasy of pedophilic cabals that’s present in conspiracy theories is to provide an outlet for the rage and despair at indifference and impunity for actual sexual violence.

"Inshallah on the front page" is so funny. His media team is unmatched.
Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.
But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.
See you soon, NYC.

again, more than 40% of Cuomo's 2025 endorsers called on him to resign four years ago and I think it's incredibly important to recognize the breadth of cowardice from the current political class and the depth of courage of the women who stood up to him, like @lindseyboylan.bsky.social.
Former critics who once demanded Cuomo resign are now endorsing him
A POLITICO review of Cuomo’s touted endorsers found that few of them stood by him in 2021.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
