"Your prompts remain private while using our AI" isn't the pro-privacy statement most AI companies seem to believe it to be.

What about the data of the subjects you used to train your AI model? Did you ask consent from all of them? What's that? Your product isn't possible if you ask for consent first?

Well, it's definitely not private then.

My husband and I are not "two people who have a pet cat." No.

She is not his pet, he is, I think her legal advocate.

"My client is registering a formal complaint about the lateness of breakfast."

"My client may start formal proceedings against you if this healthy low protein diet program continues."

"I do not know the current location of my client, but I would point out that for this hearing such information is not within the rights of the court."

Does she pay him? How?

"If President Donald Trump makes good on his threat to invade Greenland and effectively end NATO, we will take a serious look at impeachment." MS NOW reported.

“There’s so many Republicans mad about this,” Bacon said. “If he went through with the threats, I think it would be the end of his presidency. And he needs to know."

I saw a video about ‘Singaporean chefs working in top S.F restaurants’ and one of them says ‘there are too many labor laws in California’

My wife and I burst out laughing because it’s so typical (they were saying that they, as employees, did not want a 30 min break)

I lost a friend over my article about the murder of Renee Nicole Good.

He was angry I called out the underlying misogyny.

He was mad I didn’t give ICE the benefit of the doubt.

He made it personal.

He told me my “stupid clown hair” is why people don’t take me seriously

Everything he said to me was dripping with disdain and misogyny.

There was no debate.

There was no respectful disagreement.

In under five minutes he had attacked my intelligence, my politics, my appearance and my writing.

This is not normal behaviour.

He literally proved my point.

Had I taken the bait I’m convinced that I would have been called a “f*cking b*tch” by the end of the conversation.

This is what MAGA is doing to men.

It’s emboldening them.

It’s validating their bigotry.

I assume this person was always hateful and misogynistic on some level … but now he no longer feels he has to hide it.

He literally said as much.

He said “I never told you in the past because I wasn’t allowed. Now I am.”

Why is he allowed to tell me now??

Why does he feel justified in lashing out with rage and insults over something that has nothing to do with him?

It’s because of what happened to Renee Nicole Good.

We all watched a woman get shot in broad daylight and there’s been zero consequences

We’ve watched rapists, pedophiles and abusers go free for years.

Every woman who’s ever experienced abuse knew exactly what Jonathan Ross meant when he said “f*cking b*tch”

He didn’t fear for his life.

He was enraged she didn’t fear for hers.

My friend was enraged I dare speak out for a “lesbian leftist”.

He was enraged I didn’t remain silent, complicit and demure.

He was apparently also enraged I didn’t realize he hated my hair and change it to please him.

Make no mistake, there is a war against women going on.

This regime wants to make us “less than”.

They want us afraid.

They want us in the home serving our husbands and having children.

They want us seen and not heard.

They don’t want us resisting.

Which is why we must keep speaking out.

We must refuse to go back.

My life is better off without this person in it, and thankfully I can walk away.

Not everyone can.

Speak up if you see someone being hurt.

Protect your friends and neighbours.

Challenge misogynistic talking points.

Demand justice for Renee Nicole Good.

Don’t cower. Don’t be afraid. Don’t give up.

Wow.

The Loops.video community has spent 666 hours of cumulative watch time on the new For You feed.

That's 27+ days of non-stop watch time!

And yes, we do store the watch time in seconds for each video you watch in the For You feed, that helps the algorithm determine your interest.

Think that's creepy? Hide or avoid the For You feed, we don't track watch time on the local or following feed.

The best of both worlds, with you in control, as it should be ❤️

Apparently true gifts to streamers count under gift tax with a ¥1.1M exemption but stream-related stuff like that Nvidia or a keyboard are probably a business expense so I need to count them as misc income and then expense them when filing taxes. And these items you have on the list aren't even available any more! Also gotta set up the Stripe for payouts. And is this item even allowe-

Let’s be honest, Ring was already some technocratic, dystopian BS, but if you needed a reason to finally, finally kill it with fire, here’s your reason: Ring is partnering with Flock to help ICE spy on you and your neighbors for the government 👀

I just discovered (and tried) this wonderful piece of software

github.com/houmain/keymapper

It allows remapping your keyboard in many ways, and it's controlled from a simple configuration file (so, you can prepare one for your disabled friend).

You can, for example, remap the keyboard to only use its right half, if the left hand is dysfunctional (similar to the mirrored keyboard I made, github.com/clackups/qmk_firmwa ).

Also, it should be useful for , to map, for example, AWSD to different keys.

Brimham Rocks in deep winter.

It's here in the Nidderdale National Landscape that you can a collection of some of the most fascinating rock formations in all the UK.

Even better when gently dusted with snow and ice.

Plenty more photos from this day are waiting for your impatient eyeballs, right here -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2026/1/17/brimham-rocks-nidderdale-national-landscape-winter 👍

A close-up, low-angle shot looks across a series of large, rounded gritstone boulders in the foreground towards the distant Eagle rock formation at Brimham Rocks. The foreground boulders are heavily textured with moss and lichen, their upper surfaces blanketed in a crisp, white layer of frost. On the closest rock, a circular pattern has been traced into the frost, revealing the dark stone beneath. In the mid-ground, a sparse cluster of leafless silver birch trees stands against a backdrop of more massive, weathered rock stacks. To the right, the Eagle formation rises prominently, its distinctive top-heavy shape silhouetted against a clear, vibrant blue sky. The low winter sun illuminates the scene from the side, creating long shadows and highlighting the sparkling texture of the frozen ground.A wide landscape shot captures the Blacksmith's Anvil, a dramatic gritstone rock formation at Brimham Rocks under a clear blue winter sky. The central focus is a large, weathered tor that tapers at its waist before flaring out into a wide, flat top resembling an anvil, its upper surfaces dusted with a fine layer of white frost or light snow. To the left, several other rounded, tiered boulders cluster together, also showing signs of frost. The foreground consists of uneven, sandy ground covered in patches of moss and a light dusting of snow, with low-lying brown bracken and a small evergreen shrub nestled amongst the rocks. The low winter sun casts long, soft shadows and bathes the scene in a warm, golden light, highlighting the rugged textures of the stone. In the background, a hazy horizon of distant trees sits beneath the vast, pale blue sky.A low-angle vertical shot captures a towering, weathered gritstone outcrop at Brimham Rocks under a bright, clear blue sky. In the foreground, a large, rounded boulder is partially covered with a dusting of white frost, revealing patches of dark, mossy stone underneath. To the left, a dense, reddish-brown heather bush huddles against the base of the rocks. The main rock formation rises steeply, its surface etched with horizontal layers and deep fissures from centuries of erosion. To the right, another large, rounded rock stack is visible, its top also dusted with frost. Bare, spindly branches of silver birch trees peek out from behind the central formation. The scene is bathed in the warm, low light of a winter sun, casting soft shadows and highlighting the rugged, ancient textures of the landscape.A wide, low-angle shot captures the dramatic "Castle Rocks" at Brimham Rocks on a crisp winter day. Two massive, weathered gritstone stacks frame a narrow passage, their surfaces heavily layered and textured with deep horizontal grooves and patches of vibrant green moss. The stack on the left towers upwards, its rounded edges catching the warm, low sun, while the stack on the right is partially covered in a dusting of white frost and snow. In the centre, a lone, delicate silver birch tree with bare, spindly branches stands atop a smaller rock formation, silhouetted against the bright, hazy sky. The foreground is a mix of dark earth, patches of frost-covered grass, and small tufts of dry heather, leading the eye through the rocky gap. The soft, golden light of the winter sun creates a serene and ancient atmosphere across the rugged Yorkshire landscape.
