  • Apple’s iPhone X FaceID thinks Chinese faces look the same Apple’s new FaceID technology is incapable of telling certain Chinese faces apart from each other, according to reports coming out of mainland China.

    It’s life imitating every racist joke about Chinese mainlanders. Technology can never be racist, which requires motive and intent, but much like certain surface-detection sensors that prevent people with dark skin from activating automatic hand-dryers, Apple’s FaceID may suffer from a fatal flaw that prevents it from properly distinguishing people who look alike. A man identifying by “Liu” told Shangdong TV that he called Apple’s customer service hotline to report that his son was able to unlock the iPhone X he bought for his wife, and locked using FaceID. “Our son was using it and didn’t know the password,” he said, as translated by AsiaWire, via the DailyMirror. He said…

  • Bombshell report reveals Cenk Uygur’s slimy past Presenting himself as a pillar of the progressive left and feminism, newly uncovered details of Cenk Uygur’s past reveal he's a massive hypocrite.

    A damning report by Cassandra Fairbanks about the neoliberal talking head and The  Young Turks host reveals a depravity of character ostensibly alien to progressives. Before he got to signal his virtue from the mountaintops of YouTube’s front page, Cenk Uygur expressed pro-rape views, championed sexual harassment, prostitution and human trafficking, and racist views of Native Americans. In a now-deleted post from 2003, the progressive ideologue wrote about seeing and feeling up countless women while drunk at Mardi Gras. “I had one of the best nights of my life at Mardi Gras. I kissed over 23 different women, saw and felt countless breasts, and was in a wonderful drunken stupor thanks…

  • Popular breastfeeding YouTube channels promote and sell incest porn Another rabbit hole.

    YouTube isn’t just a place people go to post cat videos, political theories, Star Wars: The Last Jedi movie reviews, or rants about Jake Paul. It’s a website where anyone can find fame from any subject. Lately, the website has come under an uncomfortable spotlight for hosting odd videos that prey on children through subversive, and not-so-subversive sexual kinks. The practice, which was first highlighted by YouTubers like Philip DeFranco, Tim Pool, and Keemstar, has been widely documented in the mainstream press, prompted YouTube to take a wide berth from the content and crack down on it. However, lost in the midst are videos of young mothers sexualizing breastfeeding for…

  • Feminist dating guide reveals secrets to being alone and miserable forever They've written an inquisition handbook for the feminist's first date and of course it's everything you expect.

    Nothing sets off red flags on a date like being told you might be a sexist, racist, and misogynist. Lara Witt has written a feminist guide to remaining single. Intended as a set of guidelines for “femme-identifying” women to filter out would-be bigots, Lara Witt’s article, first posted on Wear Your Voice and republished on Everyday Feminism, is a terrific resource for questions that intersectional feminists should ask on a first date. “The following list of questions is applicable to all relationships — certainly not just cisgender, heterosexual ones,” writes the self-identified “queer femme of color,” who says her close relationships with her “accomplices” revolve around the “fight against white…

  • Hate campaign against “homophobic” porn star continues — even after her suicide August Ames was bullied to death for refusing sex with gay men, and Social Justice is a hate that doesn't know how to stop.

    The cavalcade of checkmarks and gay and transgender porn actors who hounded August Ames until she committed suicide this week are making excuses for the attacks that her family believes contributed to her death. Ames, whose real name is Mercedes Grabowski, became the subject of a harassment campaign following her refusal to have sex with gay actors. The late adult film actress denied accusations of homophobia, clarifying that she did not want to risk her health by having sex with “crossover” performers, who are not subject to the same health testing protocols as their straight counterparts. Her brother, James Grabowski, blames her tragic death on those who harassed her. “I…

  • Porn star hunted by hate mob for refusing sex with gay men has committed suicide The Twitter mob has been after August Ames (Mercedes Grabowski) since revealing that she practices safe sex, which excludes "crossover" actors from gay porn.

    The death of porn star August Ames, who was being targeted by a hate mob for not having sex with “crossover” actors (male porn stars who participate in both straight and gay porn), was confirmed by the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s office today. Her friends suspected that she committed suicide due to the bullying on Twitter. Sources told the Blast that Ames suffered from long-term depression and that the incident may have contributed to her decision to take her own life. Per the International Business Times, The Ventura County, Ca. Health Care Agency confirmed Ames, whose legal name was Mercedes Grabowski, died Wednesday evening of a suicide. “Mercedes Grabowski died of…

  • Google Translate AI says men are doctors and professors, women are nurses and maids In languages with no gender-specific pronouns like “he” or “she,” Google Translate decides whether a subject is male or female... Interesting results!

    Despite its diversity push, Google hasn’t been able to rein in its machine learning algorithms from spitting out supposedly “sexist” results. With only gender-neutral pronouns in languages like Malay, Google Translate says men are leaders, doctors, soldiers, and professors, while women are assistants, prostitutes, nurses, and maids. The results are similar in Hungarian. According to findings by Strawberry Bomb, Google Translate interprets men as intelligent, and women as stupid. It also suggests that women are unemployed, cook, and clean. AI researchers say that machine learning algorithms are picking up both race and gender prejudices sublimated within language patterns. Google’s translation algorithm, like many other machine learning-derived utilities, arrived at these…

  • “Feminist” blog shuts down, says satire can no longer out-crazy actual feminists It is increasingly difficult to tell satire from reality. The founder of "feminist" website Medusa Magazine has admitted that it was satire.

    Medusa Magazine‘s satirical feminist op-eds kept getting scooped by the actual liberal media. The website shut down this week after its creator revealed in a blog post. “I am shutting it down because Feminist stupidity has surpassed satire,” wrote the author, who remains anonymous. Describing himself as the owner of Age of Shitlords, an anti-social justice blog, the author says that he and his (or her) “fellow shitposters” published pieces on the website prided themselves “on writing fairly believable satire with just enough retardation to keep our readers in constant doubt.” “This has been fun, but all good things have to come to an end,” wrote the anonymous creator. “I…

  • Vice employees are reporting a hellscape of sexual harassment Vice Media’s head of documentaries is the latest casualty in the war on sexual abusers in Hollywood and the media. And he’s only the tip of the iceberg.

    The man in charge of the only good element of Vice is accused of having terrible vices of his own — including promoting a “toxic” culture of sexual harassment at the company. The company confirmed with the Hollywood Reporter over the weekend that it suspended Jason Mojica, who is accused of sexually harassing a former employee. Mojica led Vice’s documentary film unit, and was formerly editor-in-chief of the magazine. He has been suspended amid an investigation into claims that he singled out a former employee by sexually harassing her repeatedly. The Daily Beast article on Wednesday provided extensive detail into the company’s “unsafe and just plain dirty” culture of sexual…
