Also this. Which is part of the same thing. The performance of belief, and the belief of performance.
The fact that the right thinks this new video of Good’s murder is exonerating is more proof that none of what is going on right now is about people being convinced by evidence, whether accurate or false, but about collective make-believe.

The thing is that many of you are already traumatized and don’t realize it. And you’re pushing for others to be traumatized, too.

It seems that the source of this claim was maybe Grok? Hard to imagine a palm or face large enough for this facepalm: bsky.app/profile/owen...
In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼

No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature
X’s sexual deepfake machine is still running, despite Grok saying otherwise.
