It’s so hard to tell AI generated photos…
“People often ask me how to know for sure if an image was created by artificial intelligence. So I marked in the attached photo (in the red circles) some clues that make me suspect that it's a fabricated photo, although it's not possible to say with absolute certainty in this case.”

—David Arenson

I guess proving your innocence does not rank very high.

International Criminal Court Issues Arrest Warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant
The court had sought the arrests of Benjamin Netanyahu and the former Israeli defense minister, Yoav Gallant, over war crimes in Gaza. It also issued a warrant for Hamas’s military chief.

I have a little happy story for you--

@ShazzaRazza has a delightful Etsy shop where she sells adorable little gnome gift boxes (among other things)

I ordered one and had it sent to a dear friend.

She received it tonight--it was waiting for her after a long, unpleasant day--and she is thrilled! Now feels in the spirit for the Thanksgiving holiday 💕

Thank you ShazzaRazza for helping to make my friend feel special and happy.

The Democrats @TheDemocrats

Good news: Democrats in Montana gained 10 seats in the state House and 2 seats in the state Senate—breaking the GOP supermajority.

That’s the most seats Democrats have won in the Montana legislature in 30 years.

When I set out on this journey 7 years ago, I I specifically did NOT want to emulate Twitter.

I wanted to make it curatable, algo-free, user-defined.

I don't mind admitting, I half back-pedaled & created 'Simplified Mode' - in ur far right main menu, but secretly hope nobody uses it.

Since we launched there's been countless popups tryna 'be' the next Twitter.

COSO has always stuck with it's roots & it shows. If you aren't smart enough to figure it out, you'll weed yourself out.

In a transition, the president, not the president elect, orders FBI background checks on all known nominees for cabinet and other executive branch employees

So do it
And then read it into the congressional record
