Stephen Miller: "What the president said is true. The United States of America is running Venezuela ... by definition we are in charge because we have the US military stationed outside the country. We set the terms and conditions ... for them to do commerce, they need our permission."

Writing this I had to look through Grok's mentions. Earlier I counted around 8 requests PER MINUTE featuring "bikini" and "her". Thousands of women and girls stripped each day. I found users stripping dozens of women per hour, from female celebrities to gym selfies.

Nieuwe winterse buien vanaf de Noordzee hebben inmiddels Friesland en het noorden van Noord-Holland bereikt. Ze trekken in de komende uren over de rest van het land. De winterse omstandigheden houden het hele weekend aan. Rijkswaterstaat waarschuwt verkeersdeelnemers voorzichtig te rijden. Volg alle ontwikkelingen over de sneeuw in ons liveblog.

De VS hebben dus gewoon geen plan wat er na Maduro moet komen.
🇬🇧PM Keir #Starmer said he would wait for the press conference to respond to the Venezuela invasion.

Over to you Keir...

Excellent penguin related content here!!
ALMOST EVERYTHING about penguins is cute.

Humboldt penguins can propel poop well over twice their own height (picture is unrelated).
Warning: thread contains penguin defecation.
