We’re entering the age of AI slop that people believe en masse.

This post is 100% fake and probably AI generated. All made up. Yet massive number of upvotes, views and shares.

Journalist @caseynewton.bsky.social got in touch with the “whistleblower.” The guy faked all “evidence” with AI…

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.

He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social.

North American Hoverflies! 🪰
An illustrated poster with numbers and an identification key, highlighting the diversity of Hoverfly species found in North America. 18 flies are drawn on the poster. These flies are generally striped/have patterns that make them resemble bees. They are illustrated on a light earthy yellow-green background.

"PFNA is so hazardous that the EPA struck an agreement with eight companies to phase it out nearly two decades ago."

And yet, the report is stuck in limbo, still not released to the public.

NEW An EPA report found that PFNA, a chemical in the drinking water of some 26M people, interferes with development and likely causes liver problems & male reproductive harms. The report was done in April, scientists told me. But the agency hasn't released it

If you need vaccines (25-26 Covid booster, flu, pneumonia, etc), CVS is currently very much doing a “tick this box if you qualify for this vaccine” method of self-verification for online vaccine scheduling so GO GET YOUR SHOTS before this CDC stuff gets more insane

I only ever did the one comic about Ozzy and it was back in October 2019
PANEL 1: It's a business meeting in the conference room. Thornsen begins to speak. THORNSEN: "So it starts with Ozzy going 'All aboard' and then laughing in a 'crazy' voice." PANEL 2: THORNSEN: "Then it's real bassy--all doo-doo. Doo-doo. Doo-doo." PANEL 3: A bearded duck in the room is listening intently. THORNSEN (off panel): "Then we hear Ozzy do this 'Ai! Ai! Ai!' that echoes all around." PANEL 4: Thornsen standing up, gesturing. THORNSEN: "Boom! rattle sound! Now we hear this sick riff: doo-doo doo-doo- doo-doo nana do-da doo da PANEL 5: A woman is smiling with her eyes closed, listening intently. THORNSEN (off-panel): "Couple bars like that, then it REALLY kicks in: 'Doggadogga doo dogga doggadoo." PANEL 6: Bill, an older duck in glasses and balding interrupts. BILL: "Excuse me--why are we listening to Thornsen describe the song 'Crazy Train?'" PANEL 7: Thornsen frozen on the spot. PANEL 8: Bearded guy putting his arms up to tell Bill to back off. BEARDED GUY: "Hang on, Bill, I think we all want to hear this out." PANEL 1: The bearded guy leans in now, gesturing to Thornsen to keep going. BEARDED GUY: "Go on now, don't be stingy." PANEL 2: Thornsen picks up where he left off. THORNSEN: "Then Ozzy simply says 'Crazy' dogga dogga doo dogga dogga doo dogga dogga DOO" PANEL 3: A duck woman laughs. WOMAN: "Ha-ha what kind of train ride even IS this?" PANEL 4: Thornsen dramatically pauses with his finger up. THORNSEN: "Listen though: 'Crazy, but *that's* how it goes." OFF PANEL VOICE: "Fucking what?" PANEL 5: Close up on Thornsen who knows he's really got them. THORNSEN: "Right? There's more: 'Millions of people, living as foes'" PANEL 6: A different duck woman leans in to give advice to the bearded guy. WOMAN 2: "Chief, it's incredible. This song is about RIGHT NOW." PANEL 7: Bill is furious. BILL: "He's supposed to be presenting his departments Q4 budget overruns!" PANEL 8: Bearded guy is furious now, too. BEARDED GUY: "Dammit Bill, he's trying to teach us how to LIVE!"

Dads is dads.
adamcsharp.bsky.social Adam Sharp @adamcsharp.bsky.social · Jul 10
There’s a Hindi phrase (usually said by dads) for when someone leaves the lights on that translates to “Is it Diwali again?” A French version is “We’re not in Versailles!” But my favourite version, by far, is the Serbian “Was your grandpa Nikola Tesla?”

LRTs: it's weird that NYTimes keeps drifting farther & farther far right (particularly with their recent Mamdani coverage, plus their usual anti-trans, immigrant, etc stories) when nobody on the right reads them. it's like their goal is to become the "paper of record" for reactionary centrists only

I know a lot of folks like this account. But this is a wild, and unhelpful, exaggeration--it's a resistance version of sean spicer. It veers into #resistanceporn and trades accuracy for clout, like other "blue maga" grifters on here. Pls consider finding other sources of inspiration/news/motivation
Post from "alt national park service" account reading "From coast to coast, city streets to small town squares, you showed up. And it mattered. Honored to announce: 12.1 million in attendance." The 12.1 million figure is 300 percent more than every estimate produced by experts and scholars who carefully went through nationwide reports.

$160 billion in new spending on building jails, hiring more ICE 'agents' to carry out kidnappings & flying people to torture prisons.

For comparison, the 2024 NIH budget, which funds essentially all US medical research, was $47.1 billion.

Funding racism instead of research.

🚨 i am urgently looking for/accepting any leaks related to the currently unfolding situation in the US.

more specifically data from ICE (DHS more broadly), LAPD, LASD and co or anything else that could shift the power of knowledge to the people if it got published.

Hello! I'm Samirah and I just joined Bluesky a few days ago.

I've been making nature inspired functional pottery in a range of styles for 13 years. Here are photos of past work. Recent work incorporates regional rocks and minerals into my clays and glaze.

#portfolioday
#ceramics #pottery
A close up of a sculpted porcelain skeleton with her hand on her skull. Embedded in clay that was sculpted to resemble a rocky, mossy surface. Several desert inspired ceramic mugs wheel thrown using a tan clay with the lower exterior unglazed and featuring sculpted flowering cacti. The upper exterior is glazed in a sky blue. My hand holding a porcelain mug with a sculpted, glazed dung beetle (and a ceramic ball of dung behind the beetle). The mug is glazed with a dark, sparkly aventurine glaze that I developed in 2019. Several porcelain clay pots sculpted to look rocky, with cacti or moss wedged into fractures in the clay surface. In the front is a ceramic basket form with a handle shaped like a hoodoo arch bridge. The interior is glazed deep turquoise.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy
