Jane argued that some people had taken Leo DiCaprio's song "the wrong way" or seriously. She explained that, according to her, it was a parody of streamers aimed at the audience that had followed the series, and that its phrases referred to situations that occurred in it. She added that those who had not seen it would not understand the references and used derogatory language when addressing those people. #parodia #streamers #referencias (translated)

Russia’s influence operation arrives ahead of the US midterms With weeks remaining before America's November midterm elections, a familiar type of content has begun appearing online. Videos resembling reports from CNN, the BBC and The New York Times accuse candidates of corruption, antisemitism and misconduct. Hollywood actors appear to denounce Democrats. Other clips claim that warnings about Russian interference are themselves a Democratic disinformation campaign. The reports are fabricated. Graphika, which tracks online influence operations, says it has identified a coordinated campaign targeting candidates in competitive US Senate races. It assesses with high confidence that the material was produced by Operation Overload, also known as Matryoshka – a long-running Russia-aligned influence operation previously active against elections and political debates in Europe and the United States. The activity coincides with a broader warning from American intelligence officials. Classified assessments reported by The New York Times conclude that the Kremlin has authorised another digital influence campaign ahead of the 2026 midterms, aimed primarily at exploiting existing divisions and undermining confidence in American democracy. There is an important distinction. US officials have not reported evidence that Russia is attempting to manipulate voting machines or alter the counting of votes. The operation is about influencing the information environment surrounding the election. Fake scandals for competitive Senate races Graphika traced a concentrated wave of activity between 10 and 14 September. Likely inauthentic or repurposed accounts distributed videos accusing Democratic politicians of corruption, antisemitism and other misconduct. The targets included Senator Jon Ossoff in Georgia, Representative Chris Pappas in New Hampshire and Texas state representative James Talarico, as well as Senate candidates Sherrod Brown in Ohio, Roy Cooper in North Carolina, Mary Peltola in Alaska, Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, Joshua Turek in Iowa and Troy Jackson in Maine. The selection was not random. These were politicians involved in Senate contests where the result could matter to control of the chamber. The campaign did not rely on a single political narrative. Instead, it attached different accusations to different candidates – corruption, social issues, antisemitism or personal misconduct – while maintaining a consistent production and distribution model. That model is characteristic of Matryoshka: create apparently independent pieces of evidence, disguise them as journalism and distribute them through networks of disposable accounts. Hollywood celebrities who never said what the videos claimed One of the campaign's more distinctive techniques involved genuine footage of American actors. Videos featuring celebrities including Sarah Jessica Parker and Julia Roberts were altered with captions and other material to suggest they were promoting the slogan #AllDemocratsAreCriminals. The technique continued in subsequent material. Fact-checkers identified fabricated New York Times-branded videos using footage of Alyssa Milano, Sean Astin, Rachael Harris, Leonardo DiCaprio, Eric Braeden, Annie Potts and Patrick Fabian. Some of the original footage came from Cameo, where actors record personalised video messages. Their authentic images were retained while fabricated audio, captions or surrounding material changed the meaning entirely. Lead Stories compared several of the clips with the originals and found that the supposed political statements did not appear in the genuine recordings. Eric Braeden's representative separately confirmed that the claim he had joined the anti-Democratic campaign was false. The advantage of the technique is straightforward. Generative AI does not need to create a convincing celebrity from nothing. The operator can begin with authentic footage of a recognisable person and manipulate only the elements necessary to manufacture a political statement. Stealing the authority of real newsrooms Celebrity impersonation was only one layer. The operation repeatedly borrowed the visual identity of established media organisations. Graphika identified material impersonating or falsely citing the BBC, CNN and Politico, alongside references to France's VIGINUM foreign-interference agency and journalist Brandy Zadrozny. Other material reproduced New York Times-style branding. Some fabricated reports made an unusual claim: that Democrats themselves were organising disinformation or “false-flag operations” and then blaming Russia. This creates a defensive layer around the influence operation. Instead of merely distributing false political allegations, the campaign also attempts to discredit future reporting about the manipulation itself. If successful, evidence exposing foreign interference can be reframed as part of the conspiracy. Graphika says it assesses with high confidence that Operation Overload produced these videos. The technique is well established. Earlier investigations by CheckFirst and Reset Tech documented hundreds of falsified pieces of content produced by Operation Overload, often impersonating journalists, institutions and major media brands. AI-generated or manipulated material has increasingly become part of that production system. What US intelligence says Russia is trying to achieve The broader strategic picture comes from American intelligence assessments reported on 18 September. According to US officials familiar with classified findings, the Kremlin has authorised a covert digital influence campaign aimed at Americans during the 2026 election season. Its apparent objective is to seed or amplify domestic divisions and weaken confidence in the political process. Some officials described the principal aim as creating disorder rather than helping a single political party. The publicly identified Matryoshka material examined so far, however, has targeted Democratic candidates. Those two findings should not be treated as contradictory. An operation can exploit partisan divisions while serving the broader objective of making the electoral system appear corrupt, chaotic or illegitimate. US officials also reportedly assess the current Russian campaign as less extensive or coordinated than some previous election operations. Moscow is considered less focused on congressional elections than presidential contests and remains heavily occupied by its war against Ukraine. Russia has denied previous US accusations of election interference. An operation with limited reach – so far There is another reason for caution: producing large quantities of disinformation is not the same as successfully influencing voters. Matryoshka has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to manufacture content at industrial speed, but much of its material receives little genuine engagement. Researchers monitoring the network have previously warned against confusing automated distribution and platform view counts with authentic audience penetration. There are exceptions. A fabricated New York Times-style video featuring Jamie Lee Curtis had accumulated nearly 200,000 views on X by the end of 17 September, according to reporting by The New York Times. Other pieces attracted considerably less attention. There is currently no public evidence demonstrating that the campaign has changed voting intentions or will affect election results. What the September activity demonstrates is something narrower but important: a Russia-aligned influence infrastructure previously used against European elections has now turned significant attention towards the American midterms. The basic method has changed little – impersonate trusted media, manufacture scandals and use networks of inauthentic accounts to distribute them. What has changed is the production technology. Authentic celebrity footage, synthetic voices, manipulated video and rapidly generated fake journalism allow the same operation to produce more tailored material for more candidates at lower cost. The objective does not require Americans to believe every fabrication. Creating uncertainty over which videos, news reports and public statements are authentic can itself degrade trust in the information environment surrounding an election.

🚨 L’ASCENSION DE L’ANNÉE ! En seulement quelques mois, l’actrice Inde Navarrette est passée d’un cachet de 10 000 $ pour un film d’horreur à petit budget à un énorme rôle chez Marvel la même année 🤯 Depuis, sa carrière a explosé : elle est devenue l’une des actrices les plus convoitées d’Hollywood et a même refusé un rôle aux côtés de Leonardo DiCaprio… #Actrice #Hollywood #Marvel

Em 2019, Bolsonaro acusou Leonardo DiCaprio, sem prova nenhuma, de financiar queimadas na Amazônia. Em 2026, DiCaprio foi recebido por Lula no Palácio do Planalto para falar de floresta, clima e povos indígenas, ao lado de Janja, Eloy Terena e Margareth Menezes. O roteiro mudou bastante, né? 🌳🎬 📸 @ricardostuckert #Amazônia #MudançasClimáticas #PovosIndígenas

Eu e Janja recebemos nesta quarta, no Palácio do Planalto, a visita do ator Leonardo DiCaprio. No encontro, que durou cerca de 40 minutos, conversamos sobre os impactos das mudanças climáticas e as iniciativas do governo brasileiro de proteção ao meio ambiente, com redução recorde do desmatamento, enfrentamento ao garimpo ilegal e demarcação de terras indígenas. Destaquei que o Brasil tem a matriz energética mais limpa do mundo, além de ser grande produtor de biocombustíveis, o que reduz a emissão de CO2, com a mistura de 32% de etanol na gasolina e de 15% de biodiesel no diesel. DiCaprio contou como conheceu o Xingu, há 25 anos, relatou a amizade com o cacique Raoni e falou do trabalho de sua organização em defesa da proteção dos territórios indígenas e das florestas no Brasil – em parceria com o governo federal -, além de ações na África e na Ásia. Parabenizei DiCaprio pelo seu compromisso com a causa ambiental e indígena. O ator e ativista estava acompanhado do CEO Wes Sechrest, que elogiou o Brasil pela criação do Fundo Tropical Florestas para Sempre (TFFF). O fundo inova ao disponibilizar parte dos rendimentos para recompensar países que mantêm suas florestas de pé e, ao mesmo tempo, garantir retorno aos seus investidores. A audiência foi acompanhada pela ministra Margareth Menezes (Cultura), seu secretário-executivo Márcio Tavares, pelos ministros Eloy Terena (Povos Indígenas) e João Paulo Capobianco (Meio Ambiente), além do diretor da Re:wild no Brasil, Rodrigo Medeiros; e na América Latina, Christopher Jordan. 📸 @ricardostuckert #MudançasClimáticas #MeioAmbiente #Sustentabilidade

Page Six reporta que, después de Obsession, Inde Navarrette se ha convertido en una de las estrellas más cotizadas de Hollywood. Se dice que está en la lista de prácticamente todos los productores de la industria para papeles en películas grandes, hasta el punto de que regularmente rechaza ofertas que superan los 5 mdd. Recientemente tuvo que rechazar un papel en HEAT 2, protagonizada por Leonardo DiCaprio y Christian Bale, porque el rodaje chocaba con su agenda de X-MEN #Hollywood #IndeNavarrette #Cine

Leonardo DiCaprio vyzval chilské úřady, aby chránily kriticky ohroženou trněnku andskou před plánovaným elektrickým propojením Chile a Argentiny, které by mohlo ohrozit její jedinou známou lokalitu, a zdůraznil důležitost ochrany tohoto druhu pro zachování ekosystému v oblasti. #OchranaPřírody #TrněnkaAndská #LeonardoDiCaprio

Podělte se o použití AI, co vám reálně zlepšilo život 🙌 Dám rovnou svoje: Prakticky jsem přestal poslouchat podcasty. Moje východisko je, že čas, kdy můžu číst, je ten nejdražší a chci ho věnovat projektům. Pak mám čas, kdy můžu jenom poslouchat (procházky se psem…). 🐕 Moje flow vypadá takhle: 1. Nechám si od Claude zpracovat deep research. I prompt pro research si nechávám napsat od AI. Výstup chci vhodný pro dabing, tj. bez tabulek. Vše si nechám zkontrolovat. ✅ 2. Výstup z researche pošlu botovi v Telegramu. Tam mám Gemini API (nejlevnější varianta), přes které mi to bot nadabuje (TTS). 🎙️ 3. Hotové audio se nahraje na VPS na Hetzneru. Používám appku Overcast, kde se mi výstup automaticky objeví. Přehrávání je tam lepší než v Telegramu. 🎧 Nadabovat 30 minut povídání stojí 10–15 Kč a kvalita je dost dobrá. Pokud byste chtěli připlatit za to, aby vám text daboval třeba český DiCaprio, je tu ElevenLabs. Hlavní benefit je pro mě v tom, že většina obsahu, který pak poslouchám, je užitečná. Nemusím z něj vybírat to podstatné pro mě, protože jsem podstatné nadefinoval už na vstupu. Pro příklad, témata jsou typu: "off-grid dům, realita používání, úskalí" "bilingvní výchova dětí" "schelling point" "vliv CrossFitu na longevity" … Je to přesně ten use case, který jsem před AI dělat nemohl a teď zvládnu úplně jednoduše. Zároveň platí, že většinu témat bych před AI vůbec nezkoumal, protože bych na to prostě neměl čas. Podělte se o vaše použití AI, které vám skutečně zlepšuje život nad rámec běžného chatování. Rád se budu inspirovat👇 #AI #Technologie #ZlepšeníŽivota
