Viral 'Quittr' Porn Addiction App Exposed the Masturbation Habits of Hundreds of Thousands of Users A couple of 20-year-old developers make $500,000 a month promising to help men to stop watching porn, but exposed their private porn watching habits.

A couple of young, viral developers are making $500,000 a month with β€˜Quittr’; an app to help people with porn addiction. Insane money, living in a mansion, etc. We found they exposed the masturbation habits of 100,000s of users, then lied about fixing it www.404media.co/viral-quittr...

SD's supreme court denied a transgender woman a change to her sex on her birth certificate: www.keloland.com/keloland-com...

Mine was also denied last year, but I didn't bother suing over it because it's a lot of time and SD law does not allow for the X designation.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

I am not at all an unconditional AI optimist. I think it's probably going to have multiple profoundly negative impacts on society. Most of those are going to be because it works and is effective at many things.

Pete Hegseth C*ckblocks Anthropic And OpenAI collects its winnings.

This is the message that needs to be repeated by the Democrats. There is a tomorrow, and there will be accountability for the corruption and anti-democratic behaviour of officials.

No, this is not retribution, and no this doesn't apply to voters.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

I am back in D.C. to hear from cruel Kristi Noem on why she is complicit in the chaos happening at DHS, vote on a War Powers Resolution to rein Donald Trump in, and vote against a DHS funding bill that does nothing to address the reckless actions we’re seeing from ICE.

The work continues.

Time to call and yell at our governor’s voicemail again!!!

Does anyone listen to it? I have no idea. But what I can say is that Polis’ front desk voicemail allows for almost twice the length of message of most of our Senator/rep offices so at least you can talk longer without having to call back.

I for one LOVE leaving 5 minute long voicemails imploring my Democratic governor to act like a Democrat.

You can call him too!

There are a lot of things wrong with this. (Like a lot of things).

But what stood out to me was "llms don't feed and validate narcissists". Like they absolutely do? These things feed you back exactly what you wanna hear. By design.

Don't use ai for therapy. Full stop. Don't do it.

In the exact same way saying β€œhey this guy shouldn’t be a Senator” doesn’t mean they should be completely shut out of public life, they just shouldn’t be in the Senate, a body comprising .0000003% of the American population

β€œOh so someone who has made a bunch of mistakes in their life can’t be a Senator?”

Yes, I believe there should be much higher standards for being in the Senate than for getting a regular job. That’s not hard for me to internalize.

I installed an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) in my home in 2021, which is triggered by elevated CO2, VOC, or PM2.5 levels. It runs year-round. I’ve basically set up a self-burping home.

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."

I got so frustrated at one point I just said

"You have soup. We are making a sandwich. We cannot make a sandwich out of soup!"

And I feel like that's what rebuilding from post-slop everything is going to be like.

For those who don't know, Tillis LOVES Dogs. He holds a "Bipawtisan" parade every year for dogs during Halloween and even dressed up his dog as Kyrsten Sinema one year for Halloween. He hosted a Mardi Gras dog parade last month. #NCPol #NCSen

I have some real doubts about this, and how Anthropic is calculating ARR. It was at $14 billion ($1.16bn over 30 days) on Feb 12, and now it's at $19 billion ($1.58 billion over 30 days). They're either being outright deceitful or moving days around with no regard for potential churn.

Again: Not hyperbole, misinterpretation, or a joke that Christian Dominionism is a strain of apocalyptic accelerationism which VERY LITERALLY SEEKS to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world, & the people who believe this have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power

I've always been fascinated by these Brutalist war memorials in the former Yugoslavia. They're featured heavily in JΓ³hann JΓ³hannsson's 2020 film, Last and First Men which is based on the Olaf Stapledon novel.
