The event is said to be inspired by Sarah McLachlan's 'Lillith Fair' music festival (1997-99).

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is back from Maternal Leave to explain Trump's post on Fox News.

"It's unbelievable to see these people. These deranged leftists in algae costumes with 'team algae' on their backs. What does that even mean?"

By the pool, a person in a pink frog costume brandished a “Team Algae” sign and heckled two National Guard troops. “Let’s go algae, let’s go,” the frog chanted, along with something about “pond scum.”

The costume is the Portland Frog from the anti-ICE protests in Portland. The costume has been used at "no kings" type protests previously.

It is an actual truthsocial post by Trump.

[-] dead@hexbear.net 28 points 10 hours ago

This whole situation is so absurd. Trump spent years saying that he would "drain the swamp" in DC as a metaphor, then he built a literal swamp in DC.

Now he says that ANTIFA is pro-algae because ANTIFA sounds like amphibian. The Portland Frog as the image. He's saying that Antifa is supporting the Lincoln memorial swamp that he made.

It says that Google is spending $75 million for A24 Films to use Google DeepMind resources, but that Google won't have access to A24's content library.

this is not a production deal, or an IP deal, or a data training deal, rather A24 will have an active hand in shaping new workflows DeepMind builds with A24 and its filmmakers retaining full creative control.

"A24 will have an active hand in shaping new workflows DeepMind builds" I'm not even sure what this means or how it's not "data training deal".

Does my post say "Keir Starmer is being told to resign by Trump"? I did not say that Trump is the leader of the UK.

[-] dead@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

I saw this rumored on Saturday and there was some counter-reporting saying that it was fake. Then Trump declared it today, 12 hours ago. It would seem that Keir Starmer is being told to resign by the real leader of the UK.

In February, Joseph Gordon Levitt spoke before the US congress and asked them to repeal 'Section 230'.

Section 230 says "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider." Section 230 is the law which gives website operators legal immunity from content uploaded by third-party users.

Joseph Gordon Levitt asked US congress to do internet censorship. If section 230 is repealed, website would restrict user made content from being published.

Persons with Disabilities in DPRK Enjoy Worthwhile Life under Policy of WPK and State

Pyongyang, June 18 (KCNA) -- June 18 is the Day of Persons with Disabilities in the DPRK.

The Law of the DPRK on the Protection of Persons with Disabilities was adopted on June 18, 2003.

On the occasion of the Day of Persons with Disabilities, various events including a commemorative meeting and the work to help the disabled are annually being conducted in the country and, in the course, the public interest in the disabled is increasing.

The DPRK guarantees the rights and interests of the disabled in all fields of social life and fully provides them with stable and convenient living environment and conditions.

Persons with disabilities are working as public officials according to their qualifications and abilities and expressing their views conducive to social progress and development through publications and art pieces.

Measures are being taken for the disabled to make them receive education and sufficient medical assistance through advanced methods in conformity with their physical conditions and enjoy the rights to work.

Cultural organizations such as the Korean Art Association of the Disabled and the Korean Sports Association for the Disabled are active in the country, and art activities and sports games of persons with disabilities have been briskly conducted.

Last year alone, persons with disabilities of the DPRK bagged gold medals in various events in the international games including the ITTF World Para Future Taipei 2025, the ITTF World Para Challenger Kaohsiung 2025 and the Fifth Asian Youth Para Games.

Thanks to the policy of the Workers' Party of Korea and state on protecting the disabled, persons with disabilities are enjoying a worthwhile life. -0-
