IT’S POPPING. THIS IS NOT A DRILL, IT’S ACTUALLY POPPING

[Spencer Althouse @SpencerAlthouse]

LOL Stephen Colbert is making his band play licensed music during his final show so CBS – who fired him – will get sued and have to pay millions

"Anyone illegally using that music is gonna have to pay through the nose--"

[band starts playing]

"Oh no! I hope this doesn't cost CBS any money!"

terrible. 20 yrs ago, the internet was full of hobbyist blogs and forums. over time, these have been replaced by paywalled substacks and private discord channels, each a walled garden. google's decision to prioritize AI just makes it less likely ppl will create free, public info

No bee. No food. No us.

That's not a slogan. That's the math.

At a debate hosted by the Earthwatch Institute at the Royal Geographical Society in London, bees were crowned the most important living species on Earth.

Why a tiny striped insect over lions, whales, or us?

Simple. Around 70% of the world's agriculture leans entirely on bees. Three out of every four bites of fruit, nuts, and vegetables on your plate exist because a bee showed up to work.

No pollination, no plants. No plants, no food. No food, no people.

And here's the gut punch.

Bees are now on the endangered list. Studies show colonies have collapsed by up to 90% in recent years. The killers? Pesticides, deforestation, vanishing wildflowers, and habitat loss.

A creature smaller than your thumbnail is holding up the entire food chain.

And we're knocking the legs out from under it.

Protect the bees. Protect the dinner table. Protect ourselves.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

@calebvaldezz @VHSDVDBLURAY4K I heard it online randomly, and seems to now be on the Transformers Wiki. The one line is: "For a time, I considered sparing your wretched little planet, Cybertron. But now, you shall witness... its DISMEMBERMENT. " Due to Welles having passed. Probably a rewritten line.

BREAKING: Spain is deploying quarantine hospitals, sealed transfer corridors and mandatory isolation for MV Hondius contacts

CDC says U.S. passengers will not be quarantined.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Every suspected hantavirus case took a commercial flight to get home.

They were in crowded airports and on airplanes.

They weren’t isolated. They weren’t instructed to mask.

No precautions were taken.

This is why everyone should wear an N95 when flying.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Quarantining during a public health threat is not a punishment.

It’s not a violation of your freedoms.

It’s part of being in a society.

You do not have the right to spread a dangerous and deadly disease to others.

Robust public health measures save lives.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Respirator masks like N95s will prevent hantavirus infection.

Clean air will drastically reduce hantavirus spread.

We already have the tools, people just need to use them.

Public health requires everyone’s participation.

“You do you” gets people killed.

Reminder: When the Panama Papers came out it revealed all the rich people in the world are part of an enormous criminal conspiracy to dodge taxes and hoard stolen wealth in offshore accounts and literally nothing happened except a reporter working on the story was assassinated.

Researchers at EPFL proved your AI is lying to you.

Not sometimes. Most of the time.

They built one of the hardest hallucination tests ever made with Max Planck Institute. 950 questions. Four domains where being wrong actually hurts. Legal. Medical. Research. Coding.

Then they ran every top model on it.

The results.

GPT-5. Wrong 71.8% of the time.

Claude Opus 4.5. Wrong 60% of the time.

Gemini 3 Pro. Wrong 61.9% of the time.

DeepSeek Reasoner. Wrong 76.8% of the time.

These are the smartest AI models on Earth. The ones you trust with your career. Your health. Your money.

You think turning on web search fixes it.

It doesn't.

Claude Opus 4.5 with web search. Still wrong 30.2% of the time.

GPT-5.2 thinking with web search. Still wrong 38.2% of the time.

The internet attached. Still lying to you in 1 out of every 3 answers.

Now the part that should scare you.

Medical questions. The one place being wrong can kill you.

GPT-5 hallucinated 92.8% of the time on medical guidelines.

Claude Haiku 4.5 hallucinated 95.7% of the time.

Gemini 3 Flash hallucinated 89% of the time.

Nine out of ten medical answers from popular AI models. Wrong.

It gets worse.

The longer you talk to it, the more it lies.

Early mistakes cascade. The model starts citing its own earlier hallucinations as facts. Your third message is more wrong than your first.

The paper, in its own words: "hallucinations remain substantial even with web search."

This is what hundreds of millions of people are doing right now. Asking software that lies in the majority of its answers. About their health. About their job. About their legal case. About their code.

Most are not checking.

Most never will.

But please. Keep using ChatGPT for medical advice.

The doctors need a break.

@Brian_MurrayGH I think there's some sort it EVP or what seems to be disembodied voices sometimes. But who knows if it's spirits?

In one week we lost the Voting Rights Act and access to mifepristone

Voting became more difficult for anyone who isn’t a straight white man, & the fascists created a national abortion ban

They know we will fight at the voting booth to change this, so they made it harder to vote

[isha @MibshaD]

A girl is pregnant at 13 and everyone debates abortion. Nobody debates why a grown man felt entitled to her body.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

He murdered Renee Nicole Good.

Shot her three times and then called her a “f*cking b*tch”.

Her last words? “It’s ok dude I’m not mad”.

He got three days administrative leave before being transferred to another state.

No punishment. No accountability. No justice.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

People who are disabled, poor or on fixed incomes should be allowed nice things.

Society acts as though anyone receiving assistance should be forced to make do with the bare minimum ALL the time.

It’s suffering as a policy choice.

It’s cruel and unnecessary.

I love the RGB.

Good advice. 👻
