My neighbor across the street got burglarized and he said the cops literally said "we're on to these guys" after saying "they've hit 20 houses in the area" and then he asked why they were able to hit 20 houses if the cops were "on to these guys" and that was the end of the investigation lol

Em, midly

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

This seems significant 👀 The disclosure marks the first time a bank has formally tied money laundering concerns to U.S. President Donald Trump's family business. Capital One closed Plaintiffs’ accounts for anti-money laundering (“AML”) reasons. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Anthony B,

Incredible commitment to something that users have shown over and over a feeling between disdain and loathing. "What if we make it even louder, then they will love it as much as I, Satya Nadella, love it" gizmodo.com/microsoft-wi...

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

It’s bad enough that it tries to flatter you by telling you you’re asking such good and insightful questions. But desperately egging you on to try to make you spend more tokens is just gross. Like if every time you ran a mass spectrometer it tried to upsell you on some more advanced analysis.

Yes, this is 100% about censorship in general, and the current anti-sexual weirdness that’s going on. But a paragraph near the end of the article is especially telling… ASMR is primarily created by women. Women doing anything will always be perceived by some as inherently sexual (excerpt in comms)

Sam Cole

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

The death of a young Air Force officer could have been prevented had the service’s academy properly investigated an allegation of sexual assault and implemented regulations meant to protect cadets, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court by the officer’s family.

13. Hence our dismal conclusion: rather than finding that LLMs free us to do a better job of what we were doing before they came along, they shift scientific incentives (and the playing field of academic competition) in ways that compel us to do more and more, faster and faster, less and less well.

The BBC doing BBC things. If you are progressive and you are approached by them you must treat them with the same caution you would Fox News or GB News. They are a right-wing propaganda outlet and nothing more.

Michael E. Mann

I was not informed by the BBC that they would have a right wing political figure or lobbyist on after me to rebut what I said. The individual in question went on to spout lies about China, etc. to distract attention from the Trump administration's assault on climate action. This is unacceptable.

I'll never forgive Haberman for being the person who pushed the "Trump is actually pro-LGBTQ!" argument in 2016. Naturally, she ignored criticism of her "reporting" on that.

Dan Froomkin/Press Watch/Heads Up News

This is a completely insane interview in that the things they are discussing are so alarming that their heads should be exploding and yet they are calm. History will be unkind to those, like the NYT, who underreacted to Trump’s violation of the country. 1/2 www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/o...

"I was in a hurry and used AI. Oops, sorry it was all wrong." Darlings. Sweethearts. Listen to me. If you're in a creative field and do this, you have no excuse. None. Especially now. The gen AI stole from YOU. The gen AI stole from your FRIENDS. It is wrong a lot! You should know and do better.

Amy Acton has proven to be a monster after her true colors came out re trans folks. Her team is acting gross - the entire race for Gov is in the shitter and it's between 2 fascists. I will not be voting for lesser evil here. I will. Not. Vote. For. Her. @erininthemorning.com has a good update.

I remember the reports of elders being left to suffer and die without adequate care in Ontario…and it happened *everywhere* The pandemic shifted society’s sordid support of sociopathy in order for capitalism to thrive right out into the open.

Jessica Ellis

Nope nope nope. What we’re not going to do is pretend the abandonment of the vulnerable to Covid was a given fact or an inevitability. The US government could have continued to prioritize safety measures to protect the vulnerable until better treatments were found. You do You was a policy choice.

Amnesty UK have apologised to JK Rowling for rightfully calling out her anti-rights rhetoric. Shame on them. A human rights organisation should not cave to pressure from billionaires, especially those who wish to make supporting human rights a terrorist offence. xoxo BASH BACK

Oh yay, a fucking patent troll. Just what we needed.

So apparently some Hollywood reject is trying to trademark the most common word in the fandom: fursona. This impacts every furry and more importantly fursuit makers because they're trying to trademark it under Class 25 (Clothing / Robes) which includes costumes and subsequently fursuits.

I’ve worked with commercial spaceflight companies a few times now. This an insanely bad idea. Launch on a fundamental level is an incredibly violent affair, and a LOT of work has gone into making it coexist well with nature at Cape Canaveral.
