Many years ago (before ChatGPT/DALL-E) @kylec.bsky.social and I were on a panel about misinformation, and we got a question about deepfakes. At the time, I said “deepfake videos worry me less than an AP photo of a riot, stripped of a caption, claiming to be live from a protest.”

Loser behavior from a guy who’s clinging like a shriveled old barnacle to a sport he doesn’t actually care about in a desperate bid for relevance. Do not cede one inch to him or anyone who acts this way.
Much as I hate to give Kanter the time, nobody here will support him anyway. Sky players kept Tasha away from him

An epidemic in New Mexico, from otherwise stalwart organizations and small businesses. There are so many artists here! There needs to be an intervention mode on Canva that will interrupt someone trying to design a poster and give them the numbers of 10 local designers who will do it for $200.
ChatGPT posters and flyers are polluting real life and driving me insane. Please respond to this with the worst ones you've seen irl. I'll post some in the thread www.404media.co/we-are-livin...

The gambling economy has a familiar rule: The house always wins. @hadasthier.bsky.social writes, a Bloomberg analysis found that most profits on Polymarket went to a tiny slice of accounts that appeared to be automated bots. Everyone else lost $131 million in aggregate.

"What’s driving me crazy, then, is not the idea that AI exists or that people are using AI. It’s that I have a finite time on this earth that I mostly want to spend interacting with other human beings."
I wrote about being inundated with AI writing at every turn, unwittingly turning my brain into the AI police, and how shitty AI writing is randomly showing up in my real life outside of the internet www.404media.co/your-ai-use-...

Nearly 20 years ago (?!) I ran the second panel through a rasterizer and used the copiers at the Rocky Mountain News (RIP) to print all like 30 pages. Just to hang in my apartment because I had no other idea how to decorate. I painted over the pixels with tempera and just … hung it up. Sluggomaxxing
Some other single panels I’ve saved over the years, including the Greatest Panel’s spiritual sequel. @nancycomics.bsky.social @cashbrowns.bsky.social

This is what ICE has done to journalist Estefany Rodriguez.
"After being held in isolation for about five days. Rodríguez was forced to strip naked in a shower while an officer "poured some kind of chemical liquid on her head, which seemed to be something used to clean floors and burned her eyes,” the filing read."

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality. Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

This is the kind of shit that would make you completely outside the bounds of any ancient society, the gods bestow generational curses for violating hospitality
A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis. Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.

I wrote this feature in 2013 for Esquire, probably my first "viral" story, about the heyday of Buzzfeed and Upworthy shareable dog shit and how it seems like fun and games now but one day we will truly regret it. Right too soon again award. Bonus that it no longer exists on Esquire. archive.is/C0yBR
anyways i think it's kind of wild how quickly we went from "be careful, that shark in the flooded city is from a different hurricane" to "nearly every piece of media about this world event is fake and also we took the fake media and made it nude also we added more explosions"

Under President Trump, ICE agents arrested at least 81 children under 18 in Colorado from January 20 to July 28 of this year, according to data obtained from ICE. In the same time period in 2024, under President Biden, ICE arrested just one child in this age group. coloradosun.com/2025/10/28/p...

This was always the funniest conspiracy theory to me — that there are MRI machine-like devices that can cure all known illnesses in seconds, but the government has been hiding them — and Trump just posted an AI generated video of himself announcing they're real. We're cooked!
Trump tonight appears to have pushed the false "medbed" conspiracy theory, which has spread in the far-right internet over the years. www.yahoo.com/news/qanon-c...
