The lesson of January 6th is that it does absolutely no good to prosecute the the violent foot soldiers if you're not going to prosecute the leaders and hold them accountable for their sedition under the full force of the law.

I am extremely confused as to why the UK government and police are saying Grok’s mass-scale CSAM generation is an issue for Ofcom.
This isn’t about X failing to moderate CSAM, which is an Online Safety Act issue. It is about the company and its technology being actively involved in its generation.

It’d probably help their cause in general if they at least *pretended* there was anything real or consistent about all that cancel culture drivel. But they can’t, because they are first and foremost malignant arseholes and so the urge to behave like a wanker takes precedence over everything else.

It's appalling that he's forced out
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

One of the reasons (aside from divide and rule and racism) for politicians scapegoating refugees is the climate crisis they are doing nothing about will create hundreds of millions of refugees and they want to dehumanise them in advance.
