Indonesia is the first country to block access to xAI’s Grok due to its ability to generate CSAM and deepfake porn.
It’s quite disappointing that this is the only meaningful action that’s been taken after several days of this issue coming to light.

Why is it so insane to suggest abolishing them?

Stand By Me was a film that made me realise I was different*, but not alone.
I'd come home from school for lunch and watch 30 mins every day* and when it was over, I'd rewind the VHS tape and start over.
I can still quote the whole film.
*This behaviour helped diagnose my autism.

NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.
Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.

Every Christmas I say to myself "The lyrics to Feed the World can't be as bad as I remember. Surely."
Reader, they are far worse!
I mean, there is stiff competition for the worst lyric in the song, but this is a real clanger:
"where nothing ever grows".

There is no medical reason what so ever. It is an obstruction to timely healthcare, and forced people out of the legal time period for abortion, at home here in Ireland.

There is "no scientific support" for a mandatory waiting period for abortions in Ireland, according to the chief medical director of the Irish Family Planning Association (IFPA).

'No scientific support' for mandatory abortion waiting period, IFPA says

Actually the problem is that the wealthy have convinced working people that we can solve the problems through charity, recycling, volunteering etc.
When taxing assets or earnings of anyone over €10 million* at 95% (including kings) would pretty much sort it.
*This amount is the real debate.

Didn't think much of the Barbie movie but hearing so many women guffaw at the "come here while I play guitar AT you" line, was cathartic! 🤣
we are at the beach and I am pleased (?) to report that no matter what is going on in the world, the tradition of shirtless dudes with acoustic guitars serenading their girlfriends is going strong

This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Newly appointed President Catherine Connolly has been unable to move into Áras an Uachtaráin just yet due to renovation works in the residential areas of the historic building.
President Connolly is staying temporarily at the Steward’s Lodge in Farmleigh — about 3km from the Áras.

Bird flu is being painted as a problem wild birds are inflicting on the poultry industry, but it's precisely the reverse.
Where do they think it developed in the first place, if not in the disease incubators that are mass battery farms?

Locking phones up in school - the time when children are already LEAST likely to be on them - will do NOTHING to stop bullying, poor mental health, isolation, or radicalisation!
It will also have ZERO impact on the rabid transphobia that’s perpetuated through the mainstream media & politics! 😖
