In the UK we legally have to prove our age before we can use DMs or see butts on this app. I'm not giving shady age verification companies my face or card numbers so I'm locked out of DMs. If you send me DM I won't be able to read it!

At least it’s not Alaska

this is not top of the list by any means but I would like to hear what NYU has to say for itself here

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

"When the facts change I change my mind with them, pray tell what's your policy sir?" seems like a pwn by Keynes, but judging by the way many in our press talk about Brexit and Rejoining they would simply have no shame whatsoever in responding "I never update my opinion, and if you do you are evil".

This seems like a big deal

Rewrite every headline about an AI doing something illegal as the owners of the AI doing something illegal. Strict liability could end this madness.

There was a brand new allegation that the president raped a woman in the 1990s yesterday and it appears to not be on the NYT homepage at all right now

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

Trump doesn't think of himself as a president. He thinks of himself as a mob boss in a bad gangster movie. He is consumed by personal vendettas. He wants revenge against those who upheld the law. BBC News - Ex-FBI chief James Comey faces federal charges for third time www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

An appropriate level of scepticism here from the BBC over Melania Trump's role in this. This is *very* different from the BBC Radio News this morning which stated the dubious claims as fact. BBC News - Truce begins in Ukraine city where residents ate weeds to survive www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The thing about RFK Jr is that he’s not just a eugenicist who peddles extreme and dangerous anti-science, anti-vaccine conspiracy theories that cause suffering, pain, and death, but he’s also a vile racist piece of s**t

they're calling it the least falsifiable statement of all time

Can't wait to read Liz Truss's new book.

Please tell me this is satire? Surely nobody is this stupid? Also, the Pope has been ill. He doesn't need this shit.

A dickhead is listening to a podcast on speaker on the train. It has an obvious AI voice. I have no idea what it is about. Prompt: "ChatGPT, make me a podcast about any old bollocks so long as it is annoying."

When ironically the real proof of being out of touch is being the kinda person who could be fooled by such guff in the first place.

The boomer generation did a good job of making specific expressions of racism taboo but they failed to articulate why racism is fundamentally wrong leaving a way open for it to come back using only slightly different terminology. Trump won't use the N word on camera but this is effectively the same.

well that's the last thing we fucking need

If right-wing populism keeps losing elections because it isn't actually popular then shouldn't it have a different name? Something like... 📳📳 📞 Hello, yes. (Just a moment.) 📞 Yes. Oh, I see. OK. Thanks. Bye. I'm being told that it already has a name. It's called being a shithead.

Reports are saying Jair Bolsonaro had already purchased a customized matching hospital bed for his beloved son Flavio to spend election night in alongside him. “It works both ways. Victory or defeat. Either way, I know where I want to be.”

Jair Bolsonaro still unsure whether to go for a celebratory trip to the hospital or a consolatory trip to the hospital

someone at Polymarket is drafting a tweet about how their users accurately predicted the Brazilian election result within one point

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

It makes me so angry when I think of all the people who took cocaine, gave it up and sorted their lives out only to die young because the damage was already done. It makes me so angry that Donald Trump is somehow still alive and posting nonsense like a crackhead shouting at a fire hydrant at 3AM.

There is no shame in losing an election fair and square but there is a huge shame in being the sort of incompetent fascist criminal that tries to rig an election and still loses. Nobody respects that. Even other fascist criminals don't respect that. Small children laugh at that. It's pathetic.

Parents. Have you thought of an absolutely hilarious name for your new kid? Well, don't! If you think it's such a great name then change your own name to it. Not so keen on it now, are you?

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this
