A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

Jimmy Kimmel dug up a video of Stephen Miller in high school and... well, let's just say some things clearly never changed.

Is McCarthy’s witch hunt back? 🧹 As a reminder: 90% of the European Parliament — our democratically elected body — and all 27 Member States unanimously voted the DSA 🇪🇺 To our American friends: “Censorship isn’t where you think it is.”

Yes, I know. Nothing I can do about it. YouTube refuses to take these deep fakes down. And even if they do, they spring up faster than I can shut them down. I suppose we must all learn to doubt all we see and hear. Perhaps this is the beginning of social media's self-immolation...

Hi @yanisvaroufakis are you aware that this YouTube channel has an entire deepfake AI generated series of you (“Yanis Varoufakis”) explaining macroeconomics? They use your name, your voice, and twist your ideas. The most popular video has 800k views m.youtube.com/@TheSharpline-…

The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

Wow!! This whole speech is INCREDIBLE: Richard Gere, "We have a bully and a thug who is President of the United States… But it's not just in the US, it's everywhere" "Authoritarianism takes us all over" "We have to be vigilant. We have to be alert. We have to be energetic. We have to be brave. We have to be courageous" "And everyone who is watching this.. We have to be willing to stand up, tell the truth, be honest" "There's a place in all of our lives for basic kindness, for basic love, and understanding" DAMN RIGHT. RT so every single American sees this.

One of those clips where you have to make sure you're not hallucinating. Donald Trump says Palestinians ought not be allowed to return to Gaza because "why would they want to return? That place has been hell" — next to the grinning man who made it hell.

Big tech is seriously damaging democracy. Instead of asking them to assess the systemic risk stemming from the design and use of their services (the DSA), we should acknowledge that big tech, including genAI developers, is a high systemic risk in itself-and deal with it as such.

This takes it to a new level.
Talked to a woman who believes the US government is controlling hurricanes to hurt Donald Trump’s chances in the 2024 Election.

We gather in solidarity ⁦@IFJGlobal⁩. The EU is failing to unequivocally condemn Israel’s flouting of international law by killing journalists in #Gaza. Suspend the EU Israel Association Agreement now. Please: use your leverage. ⁦@JosepBorrellF⁩ ⁦@vonderleyen
