So unfortunately, this is my new account, the old one is unrecoverable! If you were holding off following this account while I worked it out, give me a follow. If you don't want to follow me, that is also fine.
I'll be updating the name on this account to @keith.is at some point :|

This is huge news. I have spent the past 6 months wondering wtf was up with Amazon: they filed 380,000 AI-related CyberTipline reports to NCMEC in the first half of 2025.
Turns out ALL of it was known CSAM they found by screening their AI training data. It's NOT AI-generated or AI-morphed CSAM.

Cosmopolitan asks Sydney Sweeney if she ever intends to publicly state her political beliefs:
“No. I’m not a political person. I’m in the arts. I’m not here to speak on politics. That’s not an area I’ve ever even imagined getting into… but I don’t believe in hate in any form.”

one of my favorite UI patterns in newer social media apps is pulling out posts with lots of retweets/boosts and putting them in a separate carousel. idk why but it just feels right

This tactic is really worth spending some time thinking about. It demonstrates a contempt for both the people they’re abducting and the communities they’re abducting them from which isn’t reformable or salvageable. It’s a contempt for the idea of law itself. They all have to go to jail.
ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.
A legal asylum-seeker who works at Chipotle and plays music at a church in Maine went missing. His pastor searched and searched, eventually finding his abandoned car with the keys on the floor.
ICE grabbed him. No criminal record. No explanation.

I've watched this org pour time & resources into many local races (and win them!) and am excited to see the next chapter!
Since the founding of Sister District, we’ve been laser-focused on one goal: winning progressive power in state legislatures.
I’m thrilled to share the next chapter for our work: Sister District is now States Win.
Our new name reflects both our commitment and the opportunity ahead.

okay seems pretty clear that noem is about to get canned
Donald Trump must fire Kristi Noem immediately.
Or Democrats will initiate impeachment proceedings against her in the House.
We can do this the easy way or the hard way.
