LEVERAGE seemed like a silly little show about crime, but it was so much more than. Brilliant writing and execution, @johnrogers.bsky.social at his best, and a cast that must have required a few sold souls. The finale was perfect. So was everything else.

My MiL asked me to help her with her Facebook app recently and it was appallingly full of scams, propaganda and AI bullshit, and nothing at all about the people she actually knew and followed. I've kept my Facebook locked down for so long I forgot how bad it was if you're not tech-savvy.
my 75yo mother told me last night that she’s planning to delete Instagram and Facebook because she’s sick of not being able to tell what’s AI and what’s not, and I genuinely don’t think tech companies have reckoned with this kind of move as an actual possibility

This is abysmal. Corps who dare take a stand against ICE/this admin are being bullied/intimidated into compliance, at the cost of MORE BUSINESS to them for.. taking an effing stand.
The Hilton Hotel that refused reservations from DHS officials has now backpedalled and said it will accommodate them. Came after DHS X account posted emails. For years the right coalesced around businesses being able to refuse customers of certain demographics
