one insidious thing about gen AI is it's not just causing us to mistrust dodgy images, it's also making us mistrust images that look perfectly normal. this is gaslighting in a very literal sense bc the technology is undermining the trust we have in our own ability to perceive reality!

When we take our government and country back from the fascists, every single one of these thugs must answer, in court, for the crimes they are currently committing. Hold them all accountable.
Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.
There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

It’s a cliché at this point how eerily relevant Orwell’s dystopian fiction is to our era, but don’t sleep on his (humblingly voluminous!) essays and columns.

Back before the Internet, we thought the reason for human stupidity was the lack of information options.
I’ll put it this way: That wasn’t it.

Has it occured to them that one reason voters aren’t biting on the idea that liberal democracy is facing an existential threat is that they find it inconceivable the opposition party would be nattering about fucking egg prices if they really believed that were true?

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"
