Some Grok users, mostly men, began to demand to see bruising on the bodies of the women, and for blood to be added to the images. Requests to show women tied up and gagged were instantly granted.

Israel's murder of Hind Rajab did indeed pretty much literally prove this true. Then when we got all the evidence, they considered promoting the guy who gave the order to spokesperson of the Israeli army.

"Israel Is Banning the 'Last Foreign Witnesses' to Its Genocide in Gaza"
In a likely deadly move, the Israeli government told 37 foreign aid groups, including Doctors Without Borders, they could no longer operate in Palestine. Where is the outrage, asks Diana Buttu for Zeteo?

Medical sources in Gaza tell Drop Site heavy Israeli airstrikes are hitting across the Strip, with one source citing “dozens of strikes.” They described the situation as feeling “like the war has returned.” At least 13 people have been reported killed today, half of them children.

I'll be honest, I'm just never going to forgive anyone for not speaking up about Palestine but suddenly finding the remnants of a moral compass for one murder by the same fascism in their own lands. I'll tolerate them, I'll work with them, but it'll always remain a thing I'll think about them.

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP.

Players don't know what they want, are wrong about everything, and my main goal as a designer is to make them feel as bad as possible.
None of that would be possible without paying careful attention to their wants and needs to ensure my work disregards them as utterly and painfully as I can manage.

As daily goals, "stop fascism," "defeat evil," and "save the world" probably aren't going to get you anywhere, and might leave you feeling overwhelmed and helpless, but "work towards building something good" is always achievable, concrete, and useful.
