So here's an interesting one

ARC Raiders is so poorly secured, and carelessly-written (or at least the Discord integration is, but boy oh boy vibe coding is rampant) that it is logging peoples' actual Discord DMs to a plaintext log file in the game's folder

If you play the game, probably uninstall

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

Comic drawn by Kate Beaten. In P1 a mermaid sits on the rocks strumming a harp. In P2 a pirate says โ€œI  DON'T LIKE THE THING YOU ARE DOING CAN YOU DO A DIFFERENT THING
THAT I LIKEโ€. In P3, the mermaid who is still strumming, the harp says with unchanged emotion: โ€œI WILL FUCKING INCREASE THE FUCKING THINGโ€

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say โ€˜MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and womenโ€™ not โ€˜Grok isโ€ฆ.โ€™. Grok isnโ€™t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy

Advocates want legal action after man shot and killed by off-duty ICE agent in Northridge Advocates argue that the off-duty ICE agent wasn't trained for the situation and should have called police and waited for them to arrive.

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.

Itโ€™s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

No, Grok hasnโ€™t paywalled its deepfake image feature Xโ€™s sexual deepfake machine is still running, despite Grok saying otherwise.

In case you've seen the story about โ€œgrok now only generates images for paid usersโ€, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it becauseโ€ฆ it was what grok told them ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผ

Masked federal agents removing crates of belongings from the ICE shooter's home

Masked federal agents removing crates of belongings from the ICE shooter's home

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.

Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

"Five Nights at Freddy's" creator defends donations to top Republicans A Twitter user posted screenshots of his donations to Republicans including Trump and McConnell.

If you're saying "Fuck JK Rowling" and "stop keeping Harry Potter culturally relevant through fandom or funding" then you should drop FNAF too. Scott Cawthon is a Christian Conservative who uses his wealth to donate to republicans, including Trump and Mitch McConnell.
