Matt Gaetz, James O’Keefe, and Laura Loomer have replaced the Pentagon press corps.
I am not kidding. Look at the thread below.
One of the military’s most critical lines of accountability is now a closed-circuit conspiracy carousel.

Its yesterdays new by now, but someone in my Discord realized something about the Afghan shooter recently
It's widely reported that he was recruited by the CIA in 2011 for a death squad. It was also widely reported that he's 29. It is NOT widely reported that that means he was 15 at the time.

Amazon has seemingly removed the Banana Fish AI dub, likely in response to the vocal outcry
It should be noted that they can remove this AI dub, or all of their AI dubs
But they can’t remove the fact that they chose to try to do it in the first place.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Tolkien would agree with you. A fan made him a goblet with the One Ring inscription and, because it's such a vile spell, he only ever used it as an ashtray.
I just don’t understand why so much Lord of the Rings merch has the One Ring inscription on it. I’m sorry, I know it’s just a story and all but I don’t want an all powerful binding spell created by a dark lord bent on ruling and corrupting the whole world on the hoodie I wear every morning.

A list of actually good questions to ask regarding fairness in women's sports:
-Why do NFL cheerleaders get paid so badly and have to endure so much sexual harassment?

KOSA is never about protecting kids. It’s anti-queer and about making sure kids don’t have access to information they need to survive - from health basics to knowing they are not alone and not broken. And it will destroy the internet as we know it.
🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.

And this is why we fight. This shit won't last long at this rate. If they keep racking up half-TRILLION dollar loss projections, even the most bullish, fascist-ass weirdo billionaire is going to have to stop to keep from losing his shirt.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

In case you were wondering where to send your thoughts on the AI "dub" of Banana Fish, you can do so here.
Be polite--and I *mean* that--but so long as you're polite, feel free to let them know exactly how you feel about the AI "dub."

That I can do.
Search Prime Video for the title (I went with Banana Fish), then click on Details, and scroll past the Cast page to "Send Us Feedback."

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.

Apropos of nothing, can we do away with the "but they freed the people they enslaved in their will!" arguments? If you knew enough to know it was wrong to enslave people after you died, you shouldn't be praised when you profited from their forced labor when you were alive.
