I have a folder on my computer called "1-7-2026 ice murder number 1" and put some videos of events there to save them in case they vanish from online.
Why number 1? Because it was afternoon and there was no way to tell how many they'd commit before the day was done.

Any good way to download youtube videos these days? every site seems super spamy.
There's a video going around social media today showing an individual in Minneapolis being killed by American "ICE" personnel. In many cases, there's no content warning, and it (and other videos) will automatically play in most apps and browsers by default.
If you happen across it, or other traumatic videos, and it causes intrusive thoughts, I've seen credible sources saying that real and good advice to counter them is to play Tetris.

Me and my wife got featured in a youtube video of "top richest person in the world", apparently we are billionnaire, the video has our public photos and names.
30,000 views of this garbage.
And a family member spotted it and got forwarded to us, so clearly it's getting distributed somehow.

Very interesting reflections on how AI slop is overtaking influencers. It seems to me that most shortcomings of slop mentioned here are going to get overcome (under the assumption that money poured continues to be practically unlimited). Probably the one that is not mentioned here but is going to stay, is the lack of integrity across video cuts.

after watching so many Zohran videos, I'm baffled that other candidates for office will share videos where they don't say why they're running or mention a single campaign plank.

that's it. no platform plank mentioned. no reminder of why I care about their campaign to begin with.…
