Grok didn’t have a “lapse in safeguards” and Grok can’t “apologize.”
Elon Musk and Nikita Bier built a machine that posted ch*ld p*rnography on the internet, and they should be held accountable.

The most empty politician in modern history

if i ever found out a mouse lived in my home, and he had a small archway in the wall, and he lived in there with small, real furniture, and he ventured out nightly to get one olive or a small wedge of cheese. i would stop at nothing to end his life. i would spare no expense

Not only did Israel systematically hunt down and kill almost every journalist in Gaza, they murdered more than 700 of their family members also.
This slaughter went on while many of the world's most prominent journalists stayed quiet. It is an eternal stain on our profession.
Israeli forces are targeting journalists’ families in a war to silence Palestinian reporting. At least 706 family members have been killed, according to the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate aje.io/pkapjm

Dr Hussam Abu Safia, 52, remains in an Israeli prison a year after Israel detained him in Gaza without charges or trial. He is reportedly being held in inhumane conditions. trib.al/cv47gen

The hunt I was sabbing yesterday was rummaging around in the woods with riders on point outside to drive back any foxes trying to escape. You either know this and are lying to fulfil some brief OR you don’t know, in which case you need to do some proper journalism: go, look, see

fake doordash orders. fake construction photos. fake homework assignments. fake everything, just a pandora's box of industrial scale bullshit polluting both the planet and the basic social contract (which was already on thin ice)

This is devastating. Two years under the rubble, without a proper burial. I cannot wrap my head around the amount of atrocities we have numbed ourselves to.
The body of 30-year-old Palestinian journalist Hiba al-Abdla and her mother was recovered nearly two years after their home was destroyed in an Israeli airstrike west of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza.
Alongside them, 15 members of the Astal family, who were killed in the same Israeli airstrike, were also recovered.

The BBC treats the Campaign Against Antisemitism deferentially, as a serious and impartial organization - as it does all pro-Israel lobby groups.
A judge disagrees, throwing out the CAA’s latest private prosecution and highlighting the group’s fundamental dishonesty.
The antisemitism case against comedian Reginald Hunter has been thrown out in remarkably contemptuous terms.
Striking how often when an impartial and conscientious judge looks closely at these cases they are appalled by the sheer dishonesty (see also the rulings in favour of Michael Rosen and James Wilson in 2024 and the University and College Union in 2013)
"The Campaign Against Antisemitism have demonstrated by the misleading and partial way in which it summarised its application and its wilful, repeated, failure to meet its disclosure obligations, that its true and sole motive in seeking to prosecute Reginald Hunter is to have him cancelled .... I have no doubt that the prosecution is abusive ... My view of the conduct of the CAA is consistent with them as an organisation which is not 'playing it straight' but is seeking to use the criminal justice system, in this case for improper reasons."
The judge ordered that his judgement be disclosed and attached to any future case brought by the CAA.
Perhaps @BBCNews could take note and stop treating the CAA's Chief Executive, Gideon Falter, as a spokesman for the Jewish community.

Zionist grievances are primarily discursive: Globalize the intifada, from the river to the sea, etc., are slogans that hurt their feelings.
Palestinian grievances are primarily physical: mass murder, starvation, denial of shelter & freezing Palestinian babies to death.
it kind of feels like there's no point in talking about it bc it's so normal but it is actually so deranged & derangING that saying something that fits the IHRA definition of antisemitism just ~doesn't matter~ if the person saying it is doing so in defence of Israel & genocide

A stark example of Palestinians’ daily reality before October 7 under Israeli occupation: Israeli soldiers unleash dogs to violently attack and arrest a terrified Palestinian child. #GazaGenocide

As usual, not a mention on @BBCNews or any Western news outlet. Palestinian deaths are simply ignored and the news desks issue a collective shrug. Shame on you @thetimes @Telegraph @nytimes

Israel wants Hamas to disarm and also wants to be able to bomb wedding parties during a ceasefire.

If hundreds of elderly female protestors were arrested in Moscow for supporting direct action against the war in Ukraine, what would we call Russia?
'Police state' comes to mind.
