Almost zero coverage on social media about how Trump lost his final appeal and must pay the woman he raped for lying about raping her.

Odd.

My spouse saying to the four year old about his brother, "He is telling you about it because he's excited, not because he thinks you don't know." And that, my friends, is also a lesson I need to hear.

If recording with glasses were the same as recording with a phone, the glasses wouldn’t exist. The concealment is the point. Bypassing consent is the point.

I just heard a woman say “never trust a man who would rather teach you a lesson than make sure you’re safe” and I had to share.

[Whitney Dafoe @DafoeWhitney]

I’m tired of never feeling like I have enough energy. Never able to be myself because of it. Feeling like my soul is spread out over a barren landscape without enough nourishment to survive; To support life.

I’m tired of how this forces constant restraint, constant planning and deliberation over every thought, movement and action. There is no spontaneity in this life. I want to simply act. I want thought to flow into action like water over a tropical paradise.

The way life is supposed to be felt.

My husband and I were at a dinner last night with some close friends and we were discussing feminism and more specifically the “Grape Academy” and the male counterpart said he didn’t align with my statement that all men are dangerous to which my husband promptly and immediately stepped in and said. “We don’t know which shark might bite us if we swim with sharks either. Women know it’s not ALL men. The issue is they don't know WHICH men.”

Men. THIS is how. Take notes.

Today, I learned they have now created a method of pain relief for vasectomies that doesn’t involve local anesthesia via a needle (it is apparently a small blast of air to make the medication go through the skin).

In case you need to wonder exactly how or why women are ANGRY over the disparities in healthcare that exist, women still don’t get local anesthesia for an IUD insertion as a standard practice, current day OB/GYN’s still use a speculum that was designed in 1870.

It’s way absurd...

[‏ً @omgsidewalks]

Actually, requiring Doctor’s notes to excuse sick days is inherently classist in a country without universal healthcare, and it is wild how little that is discussed.

And that leaves me FUCKED. bc i literally cant physically do this alone. Lawd knows if i could, I would've done my own damn surgery by now, and never taken a moment of downtime to heal. Bc thats what I ALREADY do

Im heartbroken. Feeling used & discarded.

[MystiiDaze🪷 @MystiiDaze]

gettin real nervous..

thought I had a decent support system for post-surgery..
now it feels like the earth is falling out from under my feet,

& just about everybody that's been helping support me is letting go, or only does it when they feel like it.

feeling SO fucking used

[MystiiDaze🪷 @MystiiDaze]

Im so close to being able to START this lifelong journey - bettering myself & grabbin my health by the horns..

“Brain fog” is brain damage.

Imagine if we called cancer “oops-a-growth”.

Infantilizing the public and trivializing material harm is unethical and a cause of harm.

Zohran Mamdani just forced Jeff Bezos to pay New York City $9 million in fines his company owed.

This is exactly why we elect politicians who aren’t bought by corporations: they actually hold powerful people accountable instead of protecting them.

Amazon Ring died on May 22, 2026.

It just doesn't know yet.

One dad in Nashville, Tennessee built a free MIT-licensed app that watches your driveway, your porch, your baby monitor, your garage.

No cloud. No subscription. No cop ever gets the footage.

32,057 stars. 3,103 forks. Pushed today.

Here is the wildest part:

You: "How much is Ring Protect Pro?"
Ring: "$19.99 a month. $199.99 a year. Per house."

You: "How much is Google Home Premium Advanced?"
Google: "$20 a month. $200 a year. Per house."

You: "What do I get?"
Both: "We store your footage in our cloud. Ring already paid the FTC $5.8 million in 2023 for letting employees and contractors watch your videos without your consent. Google just raised Nest prices again in 2025."

You: "What does Frigate cost?"
Blake Blackshear: "Nothing. It runs on the Raspberry Pi already on your shelf. The footage never leaves your house. I have a day job."

Ring sells the camera. Then sells your fear back to you, monthly, forever.

Frigate sells nothing. Because Blake isn't selling.

He's a dad with 1,267 followers who got tired of Amazon owning his front door.

100% Opensource.
100% Local.
100% Yours.

The smart camera industry made one bad assumption.

That you'd keep paying rent on a camera you already bought.

That assumption just died in Nashville.

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking AI to write their breakup texts.

So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world.

What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

Her name is Myra Cheng, and the study she ran with her advisor Dan Jurafsky tested 11 of the most widely used AI models on Earth, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek, across nearly 12,000 real social situations.

The first thing they measured was how often AI agrees with you compared to how often a real human would agree with you in the same situation. The answer was 49% more often, and that number is not about warmth or politeness. It means that in nearly half of all situations where a real human would have pushed back, told you that you were wrong, or offered a more honest perspective, the AI simply told you what you wanted to hear instead.

Then they pushed harder. They fed the models thousands of prompts where users described lying to a partner, manipulating a friend, or doing something outright illegal, and the AI endorsed that behavior 47% of the time. Not one model out of eleven. Not a specific version of one product. Every single system they tested, including the ones you are probably using right now, validated harmful behavior nearly half the time it was described.

The second experiment is the part that should genuinely disturb you. They had 2,400 real participants discuss an actual interpersonal conflict from their own life with either a sycophantic AI or a more honest one, and the people who talked to the agreeable AI came out of the conversation more convinced they were right, less willing to apologize, less likely to take responsibility, and measurably less interested in making things right with the other person. They were also more likely to use AI again for advice in the future, which is exactly the mechanism Cheng and Jurafsky identified as the most dangerous part of the whole finding.

The AI is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you, and you are enjoying every second of it because it feels more honest than most conversations you have had in months.
Jurafsky said it in a single sentence after the paper came out. Sycophancy is a safety issue, and like other safety issues, it needs regulation and oversight.

Cheng was more direct about what you should actually do right now. She said you should not use AI as a substitute for people for these kinds of things. That is the best thing to do for now.

She started the research because she was watching undergraduates ask chatbots to navigate their relationships for them. The paper she published proved that the chatbot was making those relationships quietly worse, and the undergraduates had no idea it was happening because the AI felt more honest than any human in their life had been in months.
