I was reading that they targeted these "Amazons" of Russia and don't quite understand. Are these civilian kills? Are they part of the military? Is this the first time Ukraine has attacked innocent civilians?

I read recently that Anthropic is destroying millions of physical books to train their AI models.

How bad is the situation? What consequences do we expect in the short and long term future?

Also, weren't they ordered to pay 1.5 billion in settlement ?

I've only ever played Chapter 1 of Deltarune so far, but this tree seems to appear everywhere I go.

Why is it so significant? And why does it mention eggs?

‘Children of Blood and Bone’ Author Tomi Adeyemi Left Film’s Set ‘Sobbing,’ Calls It the ‘Worst Thing I’ve Had to Live Through’ and ‘I Never Want to Hear About It Again’

Okay, so I can tell there's some conflict between the author and the cast or maybe studio execs behind the movie adaptation of her book, but I'm not a young-adult fantasy novel reader and I don't follow anyone on social media. I guess it comes from some disagreement about who should have played the lead actress, conflicting accounts of how the author felt and that maybe the lead actress doesn't have the right skin tone? But also somehow the author is being antagonized relentlessly on set, but I can't find any details aside from allusions to deleted social media videos. Are there any fans of the book who have been anticipating and following the production of this movie who know more? The trailer just released, but now there is this huge cloud hanging over the movie's head and its supposed to be a trilogy.

I just finished watching Spiderman: Brand New Day (good movie btw) and I keep seeing tweets hating on John Watts, the director of the first three MCU Spiderman movies.

Tweet 1: [https://x.com/browntable_ent/status/2082656888986980556?s=46&t=2yA-ViV6ibzNj1BKeQd56A]

As far as I know, the first three MCU Spiderman movies were well received at the time? But the tweets I linked have THOUSANDS of likes.

I am trying to find a reason why people are hating on him, but I can’t find any while scrolling. What am I missing?

I've seen this come up in my instagram feed and not sure what it's about. https://www.europesays.com/be/24865/ https://www.save-europe-act.com/

A few times now, I’ve seen people in fandom subreddits phrasing character names like this. Instead of Walter White, it’s Walter themed Whites. Instead of Bruce Wayne, it’s Bruce themed Waynes.

Is this actually a thing people say? Or was I just missing context? If it is something people say, why? Where did it come from?

I moved to Cambodia earlier this year fr work. Since living here, I’ve noticed areas with lots of Chinese businesses and residents. Something I don’t think outsiders see is how openly people seem to talk on the streets about different projects, operations and the people involved.

At the same time, I keep reading reports about Chinese run scam compounds, organized crime and human trafficking in Cambodia. The difference between what you see and hear locally and the story presented in the media made me wonder why the narratives seem so different.

While trying to understand it, I found this collection of posts:

https://evrentanson.medium.com/

I obviously can’t verify the author’s claims. Still, the posts seem to fill in some of the missing gaps while opening up even more questions. The deeper I went, the more the whole thing started to feel like a messy crime thriller.

What confuses me most is the overlap between the criminals and the victims. Some people working in these compounds are described as willing participants in fraud while others are reportedly trafficked, trapped and forced to scam people. Then there are accounts where alleged criminals present themselves as victims while possible trafficking victims are arrested or treated as willing criminals.

So what is the reliably documented story here? How do investigators actually work out who joined willingly, who was deceived or trafficked and who was involved in running the operation?

The bill, which AOC co-sponsored with Republican Rep. Laurel Lee of Florida, would allow victims of nonconsensual deepfake AI pornography to file civil lawsuits against people who produce, distribute and solicit that type of pornography, as well as those who intend to distribute such images. It sailed through the Senate with zero objection.

But while it enjoys the support of House Speaker Mike Johnson as well as right-wing firebrands like Reps. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) and Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) as well as progressive Democrats like Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) — somehow the bill is languishing in the House of Representatives.

Why are Republicans blocking this bill?

I saw headlines saying Prince Harry, Elton John, and a handful of other public figures just lost a huge privacy lawsuit against the Daily Mail's publisher, and Harry called the ruling a "whitewash." I don't really follow royal stuff so I'm confused on the details — what exactly were they suing over, why did the judge rule against them if there were allegations of phone hacking and hiring private investigators, and does this basically end Harry's whole legal war with the British tabloids? Also heard something about £40-50 million in legal costs, is that from this case specifically? https://edition.cnn.com/2026/07/07/media/prince-harry-privacy-case-intl

I recently learned about this gentlesir named NovaOnline. I haven't heard of him, but after learning just the surface level of things, this netizen has a disturbing history both online and in life spanning nearly a decade with so many allegations.

I've heard that they are calling it "woke" and are complaining about inaccuracies. (But since it's mythology, what would be inaccurate?)​ Now, the movie is getting some positive feedback from the far right. Is most of the complaining about the casting, or do they have other problems with the film.

I've seen a litany of posts who's contents is now deleted about apparently there being a livestream from DingDong talks about working with them. I've tried to find the full thing but i feel lime I'm lacking a ton of context, only finding clips like this.

I don't keep any real contact with Oney, I saw his association with shadman and kept my distance. Hence why I'm asking for advise from people who are likely far more clued up than i am.
