Guillermo del Toro says AI is a form of "natural stupidity"

“We are on the verge of image illiteracy. We are on the verge of cinema illiteracy... The pact between man and image is sacred, but we are in a time when that is in danger... We are told images can be generated by artificial means. The existence of an image is not just to be there. It is to connect us, to make us feel beauty,” he said.

Congress is set to introduce a resolution today condemning Hasan Piker for allegedly spreading “antisemitism”

The resolution was brought forward by Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) and Mike Lawler (R-NY). The two received nearly $3 million from AIPAC/pro-Israel lobby groups combined.

Hasan Piker: “If you steal from the poor, you become rich. If you steal from the wealthy, you go to prison. There’s only one direction where you can do unlimited theft. Wage theft is the most consequential amount of theft that takes place in the United States of America”

At least 108 girls between ages 7 and 12 were killed at their school in Minab. An IRGC base is nearby and was likely the target.

Initial attempts to deflect U.S./Israeli blame for the strike by claiming an Iranian misfire hit the school are undercut by video of the base also being struck. Given the location, it was most likely the Abe Lincoln that massacred these girls.

We sent a reporter to the scene, read the dispatch, a parent’s worst nightmare, below.

[Daniel Mayakovski @DaniMayakovski]

Hace 54 años, en febrero de 1972, el ejército imperialista de EEUU asaltaba la aldea de Bac Lieu, buscando a miembros de la resistencia vietnamita.

En la aldea encontraron a Nguyen Thi Tu, esposa de un líder vietnamita, la torturaron pero ella se negó a revelar el paradero de su marido, por lo que los genocidas yankis decidieron fusilarla y mutilarle las orejas.

Nguyen le dio de mamar a su bebé de 10 meses por última vez y entonces los yankis le dispararon por la espalda, esta foto fue capturada antes de ser fusilada.

Esta es la cara real de EEUU, los genocidas imperialistas que se pintan como salvadores en sus películas de Hollywood.

"Ya tengo más de 20 semanas de embarazo, no tengo a donde ir, Epstein y Ghislaine se pelean porque el bebé es suyo. ¡Soy demasiado joven y él demasiado viejo! ¡No quiero esto! ¡La empresa no protege a los niños, solo la usaban para encontrarnos! ¡Están en todas partes! ¡No puedo escapar!".

El diario de una niña adolescente de 17 años secuestrada por Epstein, revela que los poderosos pederastas la usaron para tener un bebé a través de una empresa que captaba a las niñas como modelos para luego usarlas como incubadoras.

En los archivos de Epstein también aparece una ecografía de un bebé de una chica de Europa del Este, que también fue captada por los pederastas.

Como sociedad hemos fallado a estas niñas, los pederastas siguen impunes.

Judge Salas was assigned 4 days ago to unravel all of the money laundering in the Epstein case. Hundred of millions worth with banks, suspects, whole black book. Yesterday a gunman shows up at her house, shoots her husband, kills her son, and escapes without going into house.

BREAKING: Don Lemon was just arrested by the Trump DOJ. Trump is treading all over Americans’ rights!

STATEMENT FROM ABBE LOWELL,
ATTORNEY FOR DON LEMON:

Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards. Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done. The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable. There is no more important time for people like Don to be doing this work.

Instead of investigating the federal agents who killed two peaceful Minnesota protesters, the Trump Justice Department is devoting its time, attention and resources to this arrest, and that is the real indictment of wrongdoing in this case. This unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing this administration will not stand. Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court.
