CEO of Epic Games casually says that every AI has instances of creating CSAM and deepfake revenge porn content as if that somehow excuses anything.
Tim Sweeney has never been a good person, but this is an impressive low, even for him.
If you're still playing Fortnite, might be a good time to rethink that...
Can’t believe the guy who heads the company who makes Fortnite, the predatory game for children, would be in support of AI that creates predatory images of children.
I feel like all the "they broke weird al" "weird al got serious we're so cooked" comments about the killing in the name cover are missing the point. that is not a broken man. comedy is politics. comedy has always been politics. weird al has been satirizing politics for a long time because he knows the court jester can say to the king what other people can't. by doing a serious cover of an explicitly anti-establishment song that his gen x and millennial audience knows by heart when he's built his career on parody, he's saying this can't be satirized anymore and he's saying it in a very deliberate way that his audience will understand. those aren't the actions of a broken man, they're the actions of a man who is trying to tell you something. are we going to listen?
Hundreds of people detained at the Alligator Alcatraz immigration processing center west of Miami, Florida, appear to have vanished. They have disappeared from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) online database, and their lawyers and families have been unable to locate them, according to immigrant advocacy groups.
“When searching for people detained there, the ICE locator now says, ‘Call the Florida Department of Corrections for details,’” says Luis Sorto of Sanctuary of the South, a network that offers legal services and participated in a lawsuit against the government over restrictions on access to lawyers for detainees at the infamous immigration jail.
All of the plaintiffs who were being held at the center were transferred to another location after a new lawsuit was filed in August challenging Florida’s authority to detain people there, Sorto added. That lawsuit also noted that the detainees did not appear in ICE’s tracking system.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which filed the lawsuit, described Alligator Alcatraz as a “black hole,” noting that some people were “missing,” effectively “off the radar” of the immigration system, and “their lawyers and families often don’t know where they are or how to contact them.”
No shade, this is how the Germans did it and half of them just pretended that wasn't worrying at all
one of the key lessons of the twentieth century is that it can always get worse. like people called the first world war "the war to end all wars". it can't possibly get any worse than this!!!! lol.
another lesson of the twentieth century is that the worst can happen and then some other good stuff can happen. There were in fact survivors of auschwitz. all the european empires came to an end. after fighting off the french & americans vietnam became a stable country. etc.it can always get worse and it can always get better. It Depends.

my senior english teacher told me that any scene with a woman in a cornfield in every piece of literature ever is about her journey to womanhood/pleasuring herself in the field and i just.... believed her

“you can’t hate ICE agents for wanting a fat paycheck” ah yes. people who are willing to disregard all morals for cash. congratulations you played right into their hands you uneducated piece of shit
you couldn’t pay me an amount even feasible to do this evil shit. you are lower than dirt
This. You can and should judge people for working for ICE, they're people who willingly signed up for an American secret police force that's violating the rights of people constantly in order to act as enforcers of a fascist government.
Basically everyone is not an ICE agent. Like, virtually all of us, the entire population, are not ICE agents. No matter how steep our bills are, very nearly every single American is not an ICE agent.
We can, and should, judge them forever. It should be the sort of thing their grandkids are ashamed to discover. The sort of thing that hamstrings a career forever. "What were you doing in 2025-26? Oh, you were with ICE? Thank you for your time, get out right now."
They should all be judged and shunned for the rest of their lives.
After the hell of the past two days, this reminded me of what America could and should be about. It’s a little pocket of hope when our administration is trying to extinguish diversity and community and basic human decency and replace them with fear and hate and division.

I’m out here buying tshirts and pants like a chump while some people are just wearing the world’s best rectangles
Pre-manufacturing cultures will really be like, here is the most elegant and gorgeous outfit you can imagine, and it’s achieved entirely with rectangles, ropes, and pins.
Over and over again, across the world, in cultures that never even knew of each others’ existences. Just, rectangles, knots, and pins. And I love that for them.
Ice is trump's gestapo.

It’s that time of the year again where I rewatch Digimon seasons 1 and 2 and have a lot of feelings and junk.

foundational fandom post to me
It's actually kind of striking how rapidly the ads on ostensibly respectable platforms have changed in the last 12–18 months. I've been getting penis enlargement scams and pyramid schemes that don't even bother to pretend to be otherwise on YouTube – it's like every platform is now running the kinds of ads that even three years ago would have been restricted to porn sites, and I'm not gonna lie, the fact that everyone seems to be getting desperate all at once ain't an encouraging sign!
I just saw full frontal erect penis on a weather app. It's not the sign of the impending tech-bubble implosion I expected, but apparently it's the sign we're getting.
"You know those are based on your browsing history" no, you don't get it: I tried obfuscating my identity on YouTube with a burner freemail account on a public terminal and actually got more boner pill ads. Boner pill ads appear to be the default experience when they don't know your demographic.
I think one of my favourite trends in history is when two very different but somewhat equally footed cultures meet and get mutually delighted by this New And Exotic Thing that's now briefly insanely fashionable. Like oh wow you have fancy textiles I have never seen? Let me seeeee. Tradies for this kind that we have here? Yeah this pattern depicts these ornamental garden pets that we- oh you don't have those? Would you like one? I love how you used that new kind of feather for that thing that you usually use for traditional feather decor. I am wearing Your Type Of Hat as a fashion statement with my outfit.
I know that there's always bleak and boring geopolitical bullshit going on with every interaction between cultures, but I do still think it's fun when two completely different cultures mutually decide that this one they just met is now Highly Fashionable, and swap everything from art subjects and methods to clothing styles and delicacies, like a giddy mutual girl crush or friendly cats rubbing their faces to each other in order to match their scent.
