The right wing numpties are crying "this is Censorship!" over Grok.
Our reply should be: "Yes. Exactly. It's Censorship. Of Child Sexual Material. Censorship of CSM is a very good thing."
The media needs to take these free speech absolutists to task on the material limits of their beliefs.

On my walk in the woods I come across this ghost-leaf - veined insides yawning through the gaps that winter has torn in its surface, caught, as if half-way between this world and the next, a delicate, decayed delight.

I love being terrible at chess. I love having no idea how to do a proper checkmate. I love sacrificing all of my pawns fewer than ten moves in. People devote their entire lives to it and I’m just like “wheeeeee horsies”

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Unfortunately, a boycott of the World Cup and Olympics would be a disproportionally weak response. European sovereignty is at stake.

3 hours ago, The Taoiseach posted photos on X of school children from a visit he made to Gorey.
How is that not a severe safeguarding issue, given what can be done with any photo on X now?

The Taoiseach can't decide if the gov should stop posting pictures on X which can be turned into CSAM or other illegal content by anyone.
And what other issues on other platforms are as illegal as being a CSAM generator?
Well done Richard for being the voice of the sane here.

He did say Apple & Google should remove it from app stores.
He also said the Govt wouldn’t give “kneejerk” response by immediately coming off X, saying other platforms have issues too.
I interjected to say those other platforms don’t generate CSAM.
He accepts that but said other issues exist.

You don’t get to just stop paying for the goods you sell on.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Delaying the 2026 Climate Action Plan is deeply concerning. Efforts are already way off-track & the CAP is the main tool for closing the delivery gap this decade. Saying we must wait for post-2030 carbon budgets is conceptually backwards - delay now makes future targets harder and more expensive.
