Ouch, that's the type of data leak that's a) horrific and b) likely to happen more often. Between governments being horny for identity & verification via photo IDs and unethical wannabe "techbros" vibe-coding, the future is bleak:

physics_collab: Multilayer physicist collaborations (2015)
Two multiplex networks of coauthorships among the Pierre Auger Collaboration of physicists (2010-2012) and among researchers who have posted preprints on arXiv.org (all papers up to May 2014). Layers represent different categories of publication, and an edge's weight indicates the number of reports written by the authors. These layers are one-mode projections from the underlying author-paper bipartite network.

Ranked choice voting (RCV)
is an increasingly popular electoral institution that has been posited by reformers and media outlets to produce transformative effects on electoral outcomes and representation.

Someone in the local Facebook group has posted an AI-generated image of Ozzy Osbourne, Hulk Hogan and Malcolm-Jamal Warner at the gates of heaven.
They've written "I will never forget horrible July 2025

It has 171 Likes so far.

—despite ample evidence to the contrary.
Meanwhile, the White House posted an absurd cartoon depicting a slimmed-down Trump with $100 bills and bald eagles flying in the air around him,
plus a nearly two-minute-long video that touted his alleged accomplishments.
But millions of Americans would disagree with those …
