Behind the Blog: Sleeping With Slop
This is Behind the Blog, where we share our behind-the-scenes thoughts about how a few of our top stories of the week came together. This week, we discuss slop in history, five-alarm fires, and AI art (not) at Dragon Con.
EMANUEL: We published about a dozen stories this week and I only wrote one of them. I’ve already talked about it at length on this week’s podcast so I suggest you read the article and then listen to that if you’re interested in OnlyFans piracy, bad DMCA takedown request processes, and our continued overreliance on Google search for navigating the internet.

Podcast: Trump Take LEGO
We start this week with our articles about Trump’s tariffs, and how they’re impacting everything from LEGO to cameras to sex toys. After the break, Emanuel explains how misfired DMCA complaints designed to help adult creators are targeting other sites, including ours. In the subscribers-only section, we do a wrap-up of a bunch of recent ChatGPT stories about suicide and murder. A content warning for suicide and self-harm for that section.

Obraz przedstawia stworzenie, które jest połączeniem owczareczka i potwora z filmów science fiction. Oweczerek ma charakterystyczne, gęste, białe futro, które pokrywa jego ciało. Na jego głowie znajduje się głowa potwora, charakteryzująca się ciemnym, błyszczącym, wydłużonym kształtem, z wyraźnie widocznymi zębami i szczegółami, które przypominają futurystyczne technologie. Tło jest ciemne, co podkreśla kontrast między owczareczkiem a potworem. Na dole obrazu widnieje napis "OWCY" w białym, prostym fontie. Po prawej stronie, w pionie, znajduje się nazwisko "JOE MONSTER".

Dando un falso senso di protezione a chi fuma,i filtri delle sigarette hanno contribuito a inquinare (inutilmente) l'ambiente.
Come denuncia un articolo di The Conversation, oltre a non proteggere affatto dal rischio di tumori, i filtri potrebbero addirittura esacerbarlo, rendendo il fumo meno forte e facilitandone l'inalazione profonda.I filtri non sono biodegradabili e, una volta gettati, si trasformano in #microplastiche che inquinano fiumi e oceani

Europe’s most powerful supercomputer comes on-stream in Germany
Europe's fastest supercomputer, Germany's Jupiter – which is also now the fourth fastest supercomputer in the world – is being inaugurated on Friday at the Jülich research centre.
I was reminded of the remarks made by Walker (only read about posthumously, and my ‘reference needs to be read with a pint of salt’) but there are some in the UK who really do think that if they an incite violent anarchy then they can rule through the gun.
