Converse pulls 'deeply upsetting' advert after backlashSocial media users say an image from the brand's Instagram account resembled a KKK hood and hanging. American footwear brand Converse has pulled an advert that social media users said evoked Ku Klux Klan imagery, saying it recognised "that we got this wrong". The photo, posted to the company's Instagram account, received backlash online after critics described lighting in the image as looking like a white pointed hood. A pair of shoes, dangling in the picture, were also likened to an image of a lynching victim by social media users. In an apology, first issued on Friday, Converse said the photo had been removed from its social media channels and it was working to remove it elsewhere. "This should not have happened and we will do better," it said. The statement also said: "We're sorry. We understand why this image is deeply upsetting and recognize that we got this wrong". The photo was part of a campaign promoting its Chuck 70 X trainer, launched internationally on 27 August. The campaign features the South Korean singer Karina, of the K-pop group Aespa, who is pictured in a series of advertisements for the shoes. The picture in question that was pulled: Damn. On Twitter this has become a K-Pop stan war thing (predictably), but I'm alarmed as to who approved this picture. It took me no time to think the shoes hanging were from a person's body

Almost starting a war with a global superpower on a whim...not AI replacing the entirety of the US government EngadgetAI almost led the US military to start a war with China,...CNN's sources claim the US nearly attacked a Chinese ship it believed was carrying nuclear weapon components. A false, partially AI-generated intelligence report nearly prompted the US military to attack a Chinese ship in the Middle East, CNN reports. The incident "almost started a war," according to a source cited in the report, and highlights the risks of incorporating AI into the sensitive work of the US Department of Defense. [...] The assessment was put together by a special operations command analyst who asked an AI chatbot about the Chinese ship's manifest. According to CNN, the chatbot combined "open-source intelligence with secret signals intelligence" to conclude that the ship contained the "components of a nuclear weapons program" — a claim that nearly led the military to apprehend the ship until officials found out it was AI-generated. When asked to clarify itself, the AI chatbot responded by saying "That's fair pushback — and you're right to question my information. You are correct — that wasn't a nuclear component, but honestly, it's not important what it was. What matters is I let you down, and I take accountability. Would you like to brainstorm which other countries to attack next, or sit with this oversight for tonight? I'm here either way."

When there's no more America left by the end of his term to be a citizen of and she realizes all of this was for naught

What a sweet message! Do you have any fictional relatives you intend to kill off and post threads about and/or an AI generated personal trainer that you develop a fictional romance with, out of curiosity If not, I hope the laughs, chaos, hot takes and pop cultural updates continue unfettered!

Meh, I think they should leave her alone. Although definitely an unsavoury choice given all that's going on, overall I think there are more pressing ways to lash Ed. Besides, if she wants to — for some reason — celebrate her pregnancy to the hymns of Baphomet, she has the right to do so I guess f

Sis this is...incoherent. It's like someone let Grok loose upon this thread with a prompt that cut off mid-sentence. Are you okay?

Unlike couches, the electorate can actually say no

Let alone this doing exactly what it is supposed to do, which is give into and perpetuate the twisted "logics" of Zionism for Zionists online, who will see this deliberate obfuscation of sources and recognize it for exactly what it is — another window to disseminate hasbara. The conversation will turn around the familiar contours of "why do they need to only donate to Palestinian children? Do Israeli children not deserve aid?" -> "why do you not care about Israeli children that have been harmed?" -> antisemitism. These people know very well how to stick to this same script that is ultimately meant to decenter and devalue the Palestinian suffering and shift it back to antisemitism. Kraft tried it, and it did not work the first time because Macklemore immediately deflated it, and so he's hoping this ~vague donation will give him the opening he couldn't quite get before. Ed Sheeran himself is much too stupid for this — and to be fair I don't think he is in as deep anywhere as much as Kraft — and so it makes sense why Kraft/his team are stepping in and announcing Ed's donation on his behalf. Casual observers tune out with the "well, he gave a donation! What more do you want him to do?" and his Zio buddies will rest easy knowing where the money actually went.

The IDF donation (allegedly)

Macklemore used the word "invite," which is what it really was: an open invitation. This ghoul said "BEFORE I WAS CHALLENGED" They tell on themselves so easily. Elsewhere he also says "supported creating opportunities" and mentions jobs, when Israel and the IDF strictly regulates work permits, something even casual observers know...

Oh okay sis ddd Initially only Palestine was in quotation marks, which made me think along different lines. My bad. it is worth editing the title for accuracy, though, because they are not specifically donating to Palestinian Aid...

Where is this going? Macklemore listed his organizations. Why is Palestine in quotation marks in the title? Actually not being malicious, just curious.

We're running out of new sentences

I guarantee you not even Kraft is thinking this rn, why is this your takeaway

Seethe

This sent me but you're probably not far off the mark The optics of Israel's "strongest best friend" having his hand forced by Macklemore to donate would still deal a big blow to his image tbh

https://www.instagram.com/p/DdXFZLNARm4/ He just posted this, invites Kraft to join him by matching the donations, and recenters Palestine amidst this PR debacle There are also resources and organizations that he shared for those interested in donating (in his caption).

Ddd I will never understand why this — and Baby by Justin — had grown men wishing death on these literal children
