YouTube demonetized my channel, Fluffy Animal Tales, for “Inauthentic content” a few weeks ago. I want to share my full story because this decision has seriously affected my work, my channel, and the animals I try to help. Fluffy Animal Tales is a wildlife storytelling channel focused on emotional rescue stories, animal rehabilitation, and the bond between humans and wild animals, especially bobcats and lynx. Every video is created with care. We research real wildlife rescue situations, build original storylines, write the scripts ourselves, create unique visuals, edit each video manually, and shape every story to spread kindness, awareness, and respect for animals. This is not automated content. This is not mass-produced. This is not reused content. Every video is made with effort, emotion, and a clear purpose. Because of this demonetization, YouTube has removed over $15,000 from my channel. This money helped support the work behind the channel and our mission to keep creating meaningful animal rescue stories. It disappeared almost overnight with no real explanation. I submitted an appeal video showing my full creation process step by step, but I believe it was rejected by an automated system without a real human review. The response felt like a copy-paste message that many other creators have received. I have followed the process. I have reached out. I have provided details. But I keep hitting the same wall. All I am asking for is one real person at YouTube to actually review my channel and my appeal fairly. @TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators @YouTube, please do the right thing. If you believe creators deserve fair treatment, please repost this.

I cannot believe this... They just pulled down the Iryna Zarutska mural in Providence, Rhode Island today. The mayor called her memorial “divisive.” George Floyd got murals in EVERY MAJOR CITY and it was called "UNITY"!!! ...but Iryna's face on a wall is divisive?!!!

Donkeys are the most beautiful, companionable and gentle souls on earth. But every year 6 million are stolen, slaughtered and skinned for fake Chinese medicine. Some people are stupid cunts.

This is what communism looks like in the 21st century. I have just been denied entry to the UK in order to speak at the largest patriotic event in Europe. Starmer will be sued by me. Not the government, not the Home Office but Starmer personally. Once you lose the next election, communist, we’ll meet in court! Tommy @TRobinsonNewEra , this communist cannot silence millions, nor can he take away their right to vote! UNITE THE KINGDOM!

@itsolelehmann What's more important - trust (as you say) OR functionality? Tesla is focused on three things at the moment (all functionality): 1. the hands 2. the brain 3. mass production

Ex Machina is no longer sci-fi. China has finally built it. The company is AheadForm, founded in Shanghai. The product is the world's most hyper-realistic robotic face. Silicone skin you can't tell from human, 25 micro motors hidden underneath pulling the face into real expressions. And RGB cameras embedded inside the pupils so when it looks at you, it actually sees you from where its eyes are. They raised $28.5M to "give AI a head," which is also where the name comes from. AheadForm = a head form. This is the opposite of where everyone else in robotics is focused. Unitree, Figure, Tesla, Boston Dynamics: all about the body. AheadForm chose the face because they think trust is the harder problem to solve, and trust gets decided at the face. The reason nobody else has tried this is the "uncanny valley." It's the creepy zone where a robot looks almost human but not quite, and looking at it just feels wrong even when you can't say why. Most roboticists believed no amount of engineering could make a face realistic enough to escape it. So they gave up and kept robots cartoonish on purpose: big anime eyes, exaggerated features, clearly synthetic. But AheadForm decided to treat it as an engineering bug instead. Add enough motors, tune the silicone, fix the timing, the valley closes. And they're pulling it off. A few crazy details about how this actually works: 1. The robot learns its own face in a mirror. You put it in front of a camera, let it fire every motor randomly, and it watches what its face does and builds an internal map of "if I send command X to motor Y, my eyebrow does this." Same exact process a human baby uses staring into a mirror. The robot teaches itself who it is by experimenting. 2. It predicts your smile 839 milliseconds before you smile. By watching the micro-tells in your face that precede a smile, the robot starts smiling 0.8 seconds ahead, so its smile lands at the same moment yours does. Most robot mimicry happens half a second late, which is exactly why it always feels artificial. 3. The pupils are the cameras. When the robot makes eye contact, the gaze and the sensor are the same physical thing. Most humanoid robots stick the camera on the forehead or chest, so they aren't actually looking at you when their eyes are pointed at you. 4. The founder, Yuhang Hu, did his PhD at Columbia under Hod Lipson. Lipson is the guy who in 2006 built a four-legged robot that figured out it had four legs by experimenting with its own movement, nobody told it the body shape, it discovered it. He has spent 25 years trying to build machines that know what they are. AheadForm is that 25-year research arc productized. 5. NetEase Games already paid them to physically embody a fantasy video game character. That opens up a brand-new category: robotics as the physical embodiment of fictional IP. Every character-rich studio, Disney, Riot, Hoyoverse, Pokemon, Netflix, now has a question to answer about when their characters get bodies. AheadForm believes whoever ships the first robot you'd actually want around your family wins. That's the bet behind the most realistic robot face on earth.

The party is over @Keir_Starmer. Resign.

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT🚨 Today is day 131 that I’ve been asking Senate Majority Leader Thune to pass the SAVE America Act. I said that if Leader Thune did NOT pass the SAVE America Act by the end of April, then I would get involved in Texas. 👉Today, I proudly endorse KEN PAXTON & ask every Texan to vote by May 26th👈 🚩 Cornyn voted for red flag laws 🚩 Cornyn pushed the COVID vaccine 🚩 Cornyn advocated for deportation *relief* for illegal aliens 🚩 Cornyn worked w/ democrats to offer a pathway to amnesty for DACA illegal aliens 🚩 Cornyn advocates for H-1B visas & even went so far as to say, “Welcome to the Indian Century” (before deleting that post) This 24-year incumbent nearly came in second despite his allies (SLF & NRSC) spending a combined $100 million — which could have been better spent in other states. 👉Like Indiana, send a message to the United States Senate: Either pass the SAVE America Act or you will lose your seats👈 I ask for your vote for Attorney General Ken Paxton: 🚨Early Voting — May 18 - May 22 🚨Election Day — May 26 May 26th comes right after Memorial Day. It’s going to be a very low turnout & every vote counts. All they had to do was pass the SAVE America Act. ⬇️

@tatsurotaira You're a true warrior, man! Amazing fight.

沢山の応援ありがとうございました。 僕の大好きな人たちとUFCのタイトルマッチに一緒に来れたこと、ベルトを取って一緒に喜びたかったけど昨日は叶いませんでした。 誰が相手でも勝てるよう強くなる。 また必ずタイトルマッチまで辿り着きます。 I’ll come back stronger.

I may have been a bit too optimistic with my prediction that the EU would ban or regulate VPNs within five years. It looks like they’ll do it within a year. It terrifies me how many relatively sane people who believe in the EU justify this totalitarian, dystopian practice and explain its necessity. Something that was considered a totalitarian practice in China or Russia 10 years ago is now seen as a political necessity in the EU as part of the fight against hybrid threats, Russia, child pornography, etc. Hello! Based on what it plans and does, the EU is actually showing signs of a dystopian society! I am currently in developed Japan, and there are no state-enforced cash limits here, no Age Control, no MiCA, DAC-8, or other dystopian EU regulations. Online anonymity is the norm here.

Japan has police boxes everywhere. They're called koban. Tiny ones on street corners, run by a few officers in shifts. About 14,000 across the country if you count the rural ones too. You go there for stuff like asking directions, turning in a wallet you found, or reporting something. Honestly, a lot of people just stop by to say hi. The officers walk around the neighborhood. They know who lives where. Kids wave at them on the way to school. Singapore copied the whole system in 1983. Their crime rates dropped. Brazil and parts of the US have done the same. Japan didn't make policing better. They made it friendlier. 🇯🇵

My new series ALLEY CATS comes to Netflix on 7 August. I've never been so excited/worried about any show since The Office. There's nothing like it. And as with all my work, some people will hate it & some will fucking love it. But how can I make sure everyone watches it? Help!

🥖 The French government is accusing X of the very things the French government itself is doing: - Illegally collecting personal data - Processing personal data without proper security - Extracting data from automated systems - Violating the secrecy of electronic communications

You want me to believe this malnourished freak is supposed to be Achilles.... Achilles the Greek and Roman embodiment of masculine human perfection...? FUCK OFF Christopher Nolan, Fuck right off.

The human-perceived RGB is image 1 and the Tesla AI photon count reconstruction is image 2. This is why Tesla FSD can see so well at night or through extreme glare.

The mental illness of Democrats explained

HOLY COW HOLY COW OH MY GOSH! In a 4-3 decision, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled that the legislature violated procedural rules to put the redistricting referendum on the ballot. The election results are thrown out! This is a political earthquake! Victory.

If you paid me to ruin a movie, I still couldn’t have done it this masterfully

If I can only bring back one…….it would be Michael Jackson.
