NEW: ProPublica’s Jake Pearson lost $10,000 mimicking the betting patterns of a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company’s “responsible gaming” safeguards. One week in, he was invited to become a VIP — and faced little pushback as he spiraled.

One way lawmakers could start regulating AI right now: make the industry disclose who is using all those GPUs — and what they’re being used for. .@edzitron.com explains why GPU transparency across the biggest AI companies could be a first step toward understanding the scale of the boom.

"working royals", what a nice oxymoron 🫣

Hope these guys sue both Google's and Apple's spineless bootlicking asses.

"I will admit to being surprised at the extent to which elites in 2025 in particular seemed to simply surrender… But I should not have been. For some time now, I have thought that the most elite and prestigious positions suffer from cultures of extreme conformity."

The most scary reporting and most effective noscript.net advertising if you're a US citizen - or anybody who cares about #privacy and #freedom, actually. thedreydossier.substack.com/p/i-found-a-...

I thought it was the usual DDOS spidering fuckery by Bytedance (TikTok) putting NoScript's support forums at noscript.net on their knees, but... APPLE ENGINEERING, WTF?!!! "Ambassador" Tim Cook, his new CEO & their minions embracing the dark side really hard 🪱🍏

When Rubio abruptly halted foreign aid last year, cleanup crews in Vietnam were forced to abandon one of the largest chemical spills in the world for weeks. Left exposed: open pits of soil contaminated with dioxin, the deadly byproduct of Agent Orange. From Pulitzer finalist “The End of Aid”:

Using a 1930s trade law, Homeland Security targeted the man—who hasn't entered the US in more than a decade—following posts on X condemning the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. www.wired.com/story/dhs-de...

Blatant corruption!

They were banned from having a charity in NY. The scam was too obvious, even for a state that’s seen everything. But grifters adapt. They found a bigger pool to drain, that can’t opt out, can’t sue, or gets a vote on how the money moves. The American taxpayer. The largest unwilling donor in history

When a King and direct descendent of King George III has to remind the American government about the utmost importance of checks and balances, you know we're in deep trouble.

The DOJ violates the Epstein Files Transparency Act on the daily. So I'm suing Todd Blanche. As a journalist, I cannot report accurately on the Epstein Files if I cannot even read them. I am represented by @brendanballou.bsky.social & we seek to hold the DOJ accountable for its noncompliance.

I think this is 100% correct.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Did you know? Every year, the Supreme Court’s nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people. Our database allows you to search for organizations and people that have paid them, reimbursed them for travel and given them gifts.

Everything 🍊 touches dies. Not always a terrible thing.

As a proud and loud atheist humanist activist, I endorse this message.

This is how we start the healing while the system is redesigned. All of this should give ppl hope of a brighter future & stop the shootings. 🔫 Are tools. The vast majority of ppl enjoy being productive contributing members of society. After 6mths we should see economic growth into something 🚫 👀b4

Meta didn't remove scam ads for half a decade, even if you reported them 10 times/day

Think about it. Trump spends the first year of his second term alienating Europe. Then he starts a war that Europe wisely refuses to participate in. Now he and Putin have their “excuse” to withdraw the United States from NATO. Everything he does, Trump does for Vladimir.

In a functional democracy, he would offer his resignation tonight.

🧵Se vi è capitato di vedere immagini o video generati da AI in cui Zelensky sniffa cocaina seduto su un water d'oro, dovete sapere che a produrli è un'agenzia del Cremlino già sanzionata dal governo americano, che oggi cura la propaganda elettorale di Orbán. 1/6

The sheer stupidity of this has left me speechless. 🙄

USA folks are slowly starting to realize one thing or two?

This is what solidarity looks like. #NoKings

Should to port NoScript to Electron? 😏 Also "disguised as a LEGITIMATE tracking script"...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “For all the uncertainties, one truth I feel deeply from having seen war up close: Old men should not fix their messes by dispatching young people to die in unnecessary wars,” our columnist @nickkristof.bsky.social writes.

Yes

I'm confused how an American president can reduce sanctions on two countries currently killing American citizens and others and remain in office. Why 'treason' means something different in the US?

Slave work "is a biblical foundation".

BREAKING: A federal judge permanently blocked Arkansas school districts from posting the Ten Commandments in our clients’ schools. Separation of church and state is our constitutional right — this win reaffirms that.

Waiting for the next browser update (no matter of Chrome or a more privacy respecting one, e.g. @mullvad.bsky.social, noscript.net has your back.

How do we get to more than just three web engines owned by three US companies? It's a gargantuan question, with no easy or right answer. I've put together a draft report, thinking about it through a very specific approach - please enjoy: Servo Readiness Report webtransitions.org/servo-readin...
