Describe myself? Why? Who I believe I am is irrelevant to who you’re going to believe me to be. I can tell you that, as a straight man, I support women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and trans rights. I can tell you that, as a multi-racial, multi-ethnic individual, I believe Asian lives matter, Black lives matter, and that your life matters too. I can tell you that I oppose genocide and believe in a free and independent Israel, Palestine, and Gaza, and that everyone has the right to exist. I can also tell you that I believe in one Taiwan and one China, both as their own independent and free nations. But you know what I can’t do? Grow a silver tongue and convince you better than the trolls who presume they know everything. So believe whatever you wish. I am me regardless of anyone else.

Congress House Speaker Mike Johnson says we should have sympathy because Congress isn’t paid enough — so we should “allow” insider trading just so they can take care of their families.
Fuck you, Mike Johnson, and every so-called “public servant” who thinks public service is a get-rich-quick scheme.

English – The Conversation | From AirTags to AI nudification: the growing toolkit of technology-facilitated abuse by Jason R.C. Nurse, Reader in Cyber Security, University of Kent
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
The article outlines how a growing array of everyday technologies—from Bluetooth trackers and smart glasses to generative‑AI tools such as ChatGPT and xAI’s Grok—are being misused to control, harass, stalk, and create non‑consensual deep‑fake pornography, a phenomenon the authors term technology‑facilitated abuse. It details three recent cases: smart glasses that can be covertly recorded and shared online despite manufacturer safeguards; Apple AirTags and similar trackers that enable covert stalking, especially of women, even though legislation criminalises unauthorised attachment; and AI‑driven “nudification” apps and deep‑fake generators that produce sexualised images of adults and minors, prompting UK legal reforms to mandate rapid removal of such content. The authors argue that despite rising harms, governments and tech companies have been slow to embed preventive guardrails into device design or to enforce strong penalties, leaving victims to bear the costs while platforms profit. They call for proactive safety‑by‑design measures, clearer regulations, and enforceable penalties to curb the abuse of emerging technologies.

Sebastian Gorka accused a ProPublica reporter of writing a “putrid piece of hackery” about him. Here’s how basic beat reporting led to a broader story about the state of the U.S. counterterrorism mission at a critical moment.

🆕 blog! “NHS Goes To War Against Open Source”
The NHS is preparing to close nearly all of its Open Source repositories.
Throughout my time working for the UK Government - in GDS, NHSX, i.AI, and others - I championed Open Source. I spoke to dozens of departments about it, wrote guidance still in use today, and briefed Ministers on why it was so…

A limited-government advocate in Texas persuaded five small towns to incorporate as “liberty cities,” which feature lean governments, little to no taxation and scant regulation.
At least two of them struggle to provide basic services.

Irish Independent : Independent | Home Economics: ‘We didn’t qualify for a bridging loan to downsize – what can we do?’
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Home Economics: ‘We didn’t qualify for a bridging loan to downsize – what can we do?’ – Sinéad Ryan answers a reader’s property‑finance query about trying to downsize last year. She explains that while the government wants to free up larger, under‑occupied homes for younger families, it has not provided the practical tools—such as accessible bridging loans—to make that possible. Ryan outlines alternative options for couples in this situation, including exploring other financing routes, renegotiating mortgage terms, and assessing the timing of a move, while highlighting the broader challenges the current policy framework poses for downsizers.

The thing that still baffles me is that the people at home in the USA who are all suffering just like the people at home in all other countries, do not shut down the country of the USA, until they have removed their war mongering government from office.That apathy blows me away

The platform will track trends, identify misinformation and analyse public sentiment in real time. The bill aims to penalise speech violations on grounds of honour, religion, caste, race, language or gender. https://www.medianama.com/2026/04/223-hate-speech-bill-hyderabad-police-social-media-monitoring-ai-tool/ #India #Tech #Government #AI

EN: What is our government still doing on #X?
X, formerly #Twitter: it used to be a pretty cool platform, but then it just got worse and worse. X isn’t what it used to be since #Musk took over.
Is it really smart for the #Dutch #government to be on X? Should our country’s leadership be complicit in this sick business model of an #American tech billionaire?
Time for Deep Dive Thursday!
#LeaveX
Quoting
Wat doet onze overheid nog op #X?
X, het voormalige #Twitter: het was ooit best een leuk platform, toen werd het steeds kutter. X is niet meer wat het geweest is, sinds #Musk er de baas is.
Is het wel slim dat de #Nederlandse #regering op X zit? Moet het bestuur van ons land meewerken aan dit zieke verdienmodel van een #Amerikaanse techmiljardair?
Tijd voor Diep Duik Donderdag!
