@not_jeffepstein Regardless of the results, going to Israel to conduct a secret, exclusive dna test to prove you are not related to Jeffrey Epstein in order to win the mayorship and political standing in Palm Beach…

Epstein my Epstein, I’m impressed

[maddy catgirlprostate @catgirlprostate]

Just found out there's a Jeff Epstein lookalike in Florida running for office and he went to tel aviv for a DNA test to prove he's not related to the real guy

Socialism is when immigrant and transgender

[Kelsea Bond 🌹 @KelseaBondATL]

They won’t tell you what socialism really means cuz they’re afraid you like how it sounds

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

This is what they say when they're scared of people learning the real definition, when they're scared of people demanding more from their government and an economy that actually works for everybody.

Sure why the hell not, nothing means anything anymore

THIS IS NOT THE DEFINITION OF SOCIALISM

[dead domain @DomainDead]

It’s so funny that there’s this concentrated online effort to say HORROR GAMES are the domain of chuds and reactionary losers.

Those fandoms were kept alive by women, progressives, and trans people. Series like Silent Hill were kept alive by them, not YouTube tourists.

@CatAtFire @panley01 @notexttospeech Double counter used open-source Metabase and didn't put a firewall or Cloudflare access page in between it. This would've taken 20 seconds to add an IP allowlist or install Cloudflare access but apparently that was too much work to protect 274.9k consumer emails..

Do not trust random discord bots to:

• Be secure
• Uphold their privacy policy
• Be vetted by Discord

This has happened so many times that it cannot be called a coincidence. Many bots were made fast and loose years ago with little regard for user privacy or data breaches.

[Panley @panley01]

In their statement, they minimised. It's important to note that in the event of a data breach GDPR requires a clear list of affected data and direct notifications to affected users (usually emails).

Not the first time a bot has been caught doing this, likely won't be the last.

[Panley @panley01]

The Discord Bot, Double Counter, suffered a data breach & near complete takeover last week.

They were not complying with GDPR, and got caught with data they shouldn't have.

I wonder if Discord will take this illegal behaviour seriously, hard to feel bad for the developers here.

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

A new data breach involving Double Counter has exposed information connected to Discord users affecting around 275,000 unique email addresses.

According to Have I Been Pwned, the exposed data includes:

-Email addresses
-Discord usernames
-Names
-Geographic information
-Country and postcode for some paying subscribers

The breach was linked to a vulnerability in Metabase, the analytics platform used by Double Counter.

If you’ve used Double Counter on Discord, check whether your email was affected and stay alert for phishing attempts or suspicious Discord messages.

To everyone who felt bad for Wumpus being horribly tortured.
Don’t.

It’s honestly fucking disgusting how some companies are trying to sneak AI rights into talent contracts.

I literally canceled a scene today over this.

When I was initially contacted, I specifically said I wanted to OPT OUT OF AI. I was told there was “no AI.” I asked them to send the contract so my manager could review it before I agreed to shoot.

They told me again there was no AI in the contract but reluctantly sent me the contract for review.

Well… my manager found FIVE different sections buried throughout the 19-page contract that gave them rights involving things like “computer manipulation,” creating avatars, and digitally sampling my voice, bodily sounds, physical likeness, and other elements of my identity for future projects.

Notice how the word AI never actually had to appear.

That’s the fucking point.

Just because a contract doesn’t say “AI” doesn’t mean it doesn’t give them AI-related rights.

When my manager pointed out the language and asked for an AI opt-out/addendum, they initially tried to fight it and play dumb. Then, once the language was broken down for them, they admitted they couldn’t change the contract.

So apparently the options were:

Sign away rights to my likeness for future digital use, or don’t shoot.

I chose DON’T SHOOT. ✌🏼

PLEASE READ YOUR FUCKING CONTRACTS.

If you want to opt out of AI, don’t just ask, “Does this contract mention AI?”

Ask what rights they are getting to your likeness, image, voice, body, sounds, digital replicas, avatars, computer manipulation, future works, and derivative uses.

And if you want an AI opt-out, get it in writing. Ask for an addendum and keep a copy for yourself.

Talent should NOT have to discover hidden digital-likeness rights buried in 19 pages of legal language after specifically being told, “There’s no AI.”

That shit is unethical as fuck.

Read your contracts. Have someone you trust review them. Protect your likeness.

A paycheck is not worth unknowingly signing away your identity.

Thanks for reading, and sorry this was so fucking long I’m just genuinely baffled that such a VERY popular company would lie to my face and try to pull a fast one like this.

And honestly, it makes me think about how many people have signed contracts like this because they’re on set, cameras are already rolling, they feel pressured, and there’s a director or company representative standing there who knows EXACTLY what those clauses mean while the talent may not.

I know not everyone has a manager, lawyer, or whole team behind them to review every contract — but even putting the contract through ChatGPT can help flag potentially concerning AI/digital-likeness language and tell you what sections deserve a closer look.

Obviously, AI isn’t a replacement for an attorney, but please use every resource available to you.

Take the extra few minutes. Read the fucking contract. Ask questions. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t sign it just because you’re already on set.

Your likeness belongs to YOU. Protect it. 🖤
