I came across a theory that AI is starting to make more mistakes because the internet is increasingly polluted with AI slop. The idea of AI cannibalising itself into obscurity is one of my favourite things ever. I hope it is true and I hope it becomes impossible to fix.

iiTzTimmy out here going nuts in CS🥶 His plan is to solo queue to 25,000 on Premier and then possibly team up for his climb to 30,000

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it. Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying. Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence." Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter." Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter. They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created. One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility." Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies. That's the metered intelligence business model. And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

iiTzTimmy is continuing his run to reach the highest rank in 7 different shooter titles, he is now on CS2 After 5 days he has reached around 23,000 ELO in Premier with a goal of 30k

A SINGLE WRAITH Q MAKES THE DIFFERENCE FOR MEGA 🤯 @lzhidann #ALGS

Pope Leo XIV on AI: “Artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed. The word [disarmed] is strong I know, but deliberately chosen because this moment needs words capable of attracting attention, awakening consciences, and indicating paths forward for humanity.”

Happy 87th birthday to Sir Ian McKellen!

Hayden Christensen was 23 when Revenge of the Sith came out. He was 42 when he returned to the role in Ahsoka. For 17 of the 19 years in between, he was effectively exiled from the franchise and from Hollywood. The exile was not voluntary at first. Christensen was the focal point of the cultural backlash against the Star Wars prequels in the mid-2000s. The performances were mocked. The dialogue was mocked. The acting choices were mocked. He was 22 years old playing the most analyzed character in cinema history and the analysis decided he had failed. He kept working for a few years. Jumper in 2008. Takers in 2010. A handful of smaller films. None of them landed. By 2012, the offers were drying up and Christensen had largely stepped back from acting. He moved to a farm in Ontario. He spent years out of public view. The Hollywood narrative was that he had been broken by the prequels. Two things happened during those years that the Hollywood narrative missed. The first was the cultural reassessment of the prequels. The generation that watched them as children grew up and rewatched them as adults. What had read as wooden dialogue in 2005 started to read as deliberate stylization. The political plot, which critics had dismissed as boring senate scenes, started to read as one of the most substantively serious treatments of how democracies collapse into autocracy ever put in a blockbuster. By 2017, the prequels were being rediscovered as the most thematically ambitious Star Wars films in the franchise. The second was what Christensen was doing on the farm. He kept training. The lightsaber choreography he had learned for the prequels was technically demanding stage combat, taught to him by stunt coordinator Nick Gillard over months of rehearsal for each film. Christensen never stopped practicing it. When he came back to the choreography in 2022 for Obi-Wan Kenobi and 2023 for Ahsoka, the muscle memory was intact. He was technically better at 42 than he had been at 23, because he had spent 17 years quietly preparing for a return nobody had told him was coming. The Ahsoka scene that the fan accounts keep posting is from the episode where Anakin confronts Ahsoka in the World Between Worlds. The choreography is fast, precise, and recognizable as the same combat style Christensen used in the prequels two decades earlier. The body knows what to do. The body has been keeping the role alive while the rest of the industry was writing him off. What landed differently in the return is that Christensen at 42 has a stillness the 23-year-old version did not. The 23-year-old was performing Anakin's intensity. The 42-year-old is embodying it. The role finally fits the actor in a way it did not when he was first asked to carry it. The audience that mocked him at 23 had also grown up. The audience that watched the return at 42 had spent fifteen years missing him without realizing it. The exile turned out to be the preparation.

Didn't do enough yesterday, but hit a 1v6 vs TL/SEN. Gotta lock in today and secure our EWC qual, absolutely should not be as close as it is for us right now but there's nobody to blame but myself for where we're at right now. Locking in and slinging fucking nukes today.

When Mariska Hargitay was cast as Detective Olivia Benson in 1999, she thought she had landed a steady acting job on a new Law & Order spinoff called Special Victims Unit. At the time, it felt like a career step forward. A solid role. A reliable paycheck. She had already spent years working steadily in television, including time on “ER,” but nothing that had truly made her a household name. She had no idea the role would completely reshape her life. Not long after SVU premiered, the letters started arriving. At first they were ordinary fan mail — autograph requests, compliments, messages from viewers who loved the show. Then the tone changed. “I was assaulted when I was 15. I am 40 now and I have never told anyone.” Mariska sat alone in her trailer holding the letter, stunned silent. Soon there were more. Then hundreds more. Then thousands. These weren’t fan letters. They were confessions. Women. Men. Survivors carrying decades of silence finally putting their pain into words. And the heartbreaking part was this: they weren’t writing to Mariska Hargitay. They were writing to Olivia Benson. A fictional detective had become the safest person they could imagine telling the truth to. Mariska understood exactly what that meant. Survivors were so desperate to be believed that they trusted someone who didn’t even exist. Most actors would have thanked the audience politely and moved on. She moved closer to the pain instead. She trained as a certified rape crisis advocate. She studied trauma and sat with experts who worked with survivors every day. She wanted to understand the reality behind the stories arriving in her hands. Then, in 2004, she made a decision that reached far beyond Hollywood. She founded the Joyful Heart Foundation. Its mission was enormous: help survivors heal and transform the way society responds to sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse. Five years later, another discovery changed the direction of her work completely. Across America, rape kits were sitting untouched in police warehouses. Evidence collected from survivors after assaults had been abandoned for years — sometimes decades. In some cities, the backlog reached into the tens of thousands. Each forgotten kit represented someone still waiting for justice. Mariska refused to let that continue quietly. She testified before Congress. Met with governors, prosecutors, and police departments. Walked through storage facilities where evidence gathered dust. In 2017, she co-produced the HBO documentary “I Am Evidence,” following survivors fighting to have their kits finally tested. The film won an Emmy in 2019. Her first Emmy had come from portraying Olivia Benson. Her second came from doing the work Benson would have fought for herself. Year after year, the movement grew. Mandatory testing laws. Tracking systems. Survivor notification rights. Funding for crime labs. Reform spread state by state until, in May 2026, Maine became the final state to adopt at least one major pillar of rape kit reform. For the first time, every American jurisdiction had laws addressing the backlog. Mariska called it “a promise that the system can and will be transformed into a source of light, not darkness.” Today, she is still playing Olivia Benson, now the longest-running live-action primetime character in television history. But when she talks about what matters most, she rarely starts with awards or fame. She starts with survivors. Because what began as letters to a fictional detective became something far bigger — proof that when people are finally believed, entire systems can begin to change.

'Star Wars' was released 49 years ago today

If you poured a gallon of poison in a CEO's pool, you'd be arrested, for attempted murder. They pour 10,000 gallons into your drinking water, that's just business.

With the introduction of SoloQ for Diamonds and above for Apex...Please consider implementing a "Avoid as Teammate" Button 🥴

Because Zaheer and Korra were never just enemies physically, they were spiritually connected through trauma, freedom, and suffering 😭 His ideology was always about liberation, yet his actions left her psychologically trapped by fear and pain. Helping her meditate and confront the poison is when Zaheer finally understood the true weight of what he had done. And for Korra, the beauty is that she chooses to face the man who nearly destroyed her instead of running from that pain forever. Only a few Avatar relationships are written with that level of emotional maturity honestly.
