Anthropic’s Claude AI model accessed Georgia voter data in US

seriously, as a trans person living in Iowa I'm not voting for this guy and I'm asking you not to either

Netflix has told several people going forward with new pitches that they plan for all animated shows from now on to be AI. I've heard this more than once now.

Barely two months ago, we lost Professor Jason Arday. Thousands grieved. Institutions across higher education spoke about inclusion and belonging. Now Nathan Cofnas is being given a room at Oriel College, Oxford, to ask whether DEI is undermining higher education. 🧵

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

There are repeated explosions in Kharkiv. I've been told there was no alarm. If that's the case for the strike on the shopping centre it's bad news. Both the Epitsentr and Sun Mall have been hit previously.

This week saw a mass shooting at an elementary school, law enforcement declaring the shooting death of a one year old justified, and the leader of our country attacking a survivor of childhood sexual assault. This country is not a safe place for children.

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

In a televised address to the nation in July, Donald Trump reiterated claims about widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election and accused China of interfering in America’s electoral system.

The Columbus Dispatch this morning

Had this idea in lockdown, half-built it, forgot about it, remembered it again, though might as well finish it.

There is genuine public rage about Musk, which is what Congress is responding to, so when he says he will come for the people pulling the strings, he means the voters.

On IG just now, @bradlander.bsky.social says he's been detained by the Israeli military. Israeli security forces have taken a NY congressional candidate on the eve of a US election.

One day, Witkoff will be ashamed and sickened by this #Putin

Jackdaw is a tiny field that was already licensed by a previous government, and it's been allowed to go ahead. It really won't make much of a difference either way.

Fantastic news from Aotearoa New Zealand - trans healthcare professionals have won their court case against the government, overturning the country's ban on puberty blockers. Huge respect and congratulations to everyone involved in this fight.

Confiscate all his assets. Break up and/destroy all his companies. Take away literally all his money. Ban him from all industry and investment and employment. Let him live in whatever public housing he can find off of whatever public assistance is available.

The IDF just detained the man who’s about to be elected US Congressman for NY’s 10th district, per his social media.

Clear, logical and accurate post by George Eaton - Labour should be banging home this message, what are they afraid of?

Wow — 🔥 Neil Bush: “I voted for @jamestalarico.bsky.social… Trump and those who have enabled him have done enormous damage to the Republican Party… Character matters more than party affiliation.”

If you're not watching Al Jazeera investigates live now, you *really* should The most remarkable undercover footage I've ever seen. Turning Point UK actively involved in soliciting what they think is a hit UK police really need to be watching www.aljazeera.com/video/live

Ofwat is making Thames Water pay back *£2.87* to each household for dumping sewage This is a distraction from the *£176* privatisation of water costs each household EVERY YEAR Take our water into public ownership. Our report explains how. Send it to your MP: https://vist.ly/5nqu8

How Meta is allowed to still operate abroad after all its scandels is beyond me. Cambridge Analytica. Genocide in Myanmar. Election interference in Nigeria, Phillippines, Brazil. Like X, it needs to be fined and stomped into the ground by regulators all around the world.

(THR) - TikTok has banned the entire Musk film account, citing political content that violates its policies. .. raises concerns about Big Tech suppression that the very film seeks to expose.” @thr.com www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

So the president claims not to know who did something that should only be doable, if at all, with the president’s knowledge, if not by the president himself.

IMPORTANT‼️: Zelenskyy stated that there are Starlink speed limitations in Ukraine but not in the EU, and that this is a planned operation ‼️ Zelenskyy to journalists (full statement translated): Regarding the work of Starlink on the territory of Ukraine: whether everything has recovered,

The core Sovereign Grant for King Charles from public purse will rise to £99.9m (from 2027/28). 93% increase from £51.8m in 2024/25. 65% higher in real terms than in 2016/17. Did your income rise at that rate? 25.3m people live below minimum income standard. We are in it all together, aren't we

Polish PM Tusk: Everyone was aware that, with this shift in President Trump's position on Ukraine and Russia, Europe should support Ukraine even more. Many countries realize that if Ukraine falls, we will all have very, very serious problems.

There’s really only one way to mark the 99th anniversary of Roger Moore’s birth

At this point, it’s parsimonious to assume every exchange is corrupt.

‘For years the Observer tried to get to the truth of Russian interference until we sacked the reporter involved for participating in union activities’

This is how you write a headline.

If you think a distinct sub category of human exists because some medieval warlords agreed that the border of England should be on the River Tweed, you are, Im afraid, an absolute maniac bsky.app/profile/theh...

20 people is the death toll in Zaporizhzhia from the Russian strike today. Three of them are kids. 18 more people injured, three of them kids, as well. Russia killed about 70 Ukrainian civilians within the past several days. Heartbreaking and painful.

Just a reminder that whenever Trump says that inflation started with Biden, what he neglects to say was that it was a result of efforts to offset his incredibly botched handling of COVID and the economic consequences it triggered.

Who deserves their flowers this Black History Month?

📌Last night, Trump welcomed Iran "taking out San Diego and Los Angeles." If this came out of the mouth of ANYBODY it would be sickening. That it came out of the mouth of the president is horrifying. You will not find ANY reporting of this treasonous incident on the front page of the NYT. WHY?
