Hello, new social media platform! It's a clean slate for my academic chatter: vet epidemiology, data science, statistics, education, and data ethics. Non-academic chatter may include movies, games, Lego, autism, and calls to dismantle capitalism. Most importantly, I might post pictures of my dog.

Calls for civility are often weaponized by abusers, by bigots, by those who would oppress you. If it is considered impolite to speak out against dishonor, then it is time for a true warrior to be rude.

Note the timing of Home Office re-press releasing the “most ever raids” & “hardest ever immigration crack down” today.

They haven’t got a clue how to make ordinary British people’s lives better, only how to make migrants suffer. #r4today

Lot of people (men) waste their time and mine telling me the government and media haven't deliberately turned the public against disabled people. Lemme save you the trouble lads, I literally wrote the book on it. And I report on it nearly every day.

Honor has no price tag. It is bought only through actions, through conducting yourself with integrity, with kindness towards others, with ferocity towards those who promote hatred and bigotry. Nor can anybody, no matter how wealthy, buy it or take it from you. Honor is priceless.

The first point here is she isn't his girlfriend; she's a sycophantic computer programme he's set up to praise him.

If a website appeared overnight that gave hundreds of millions of users the opportunity to create CSAM you'd expect governments to shut it down quickly, so the question is why X gets a pass when it's done just that?

If you follow this argument through to its logical conclusion there should be a UK Government channel on pornhub.
Cabinet Office Minister Baroness Anderson tells the Lords the Government will keep on using X.
"I still believe that X is an appropriate platform to use because I believe in freedom of speech..."
"It is incredibly important that there is a counter narrative on those platforms," she says.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Starmer has said that what has been allowed to happen at X is "outrageous" and that those responsible should face the "full force of the law," calling their tactics "pathetic" no wait sorry, I got confused, that was him describing Just Stop Oil protesters who put some cornflour on Stonehenge.
Ofcom, which enforces the UK's Online Safety Act, says it is aware of "serious concerns" about Grok undressing people including children on X
“We have made urgent contact with X and xAI to understand what steps they have taken to comply with their legal duties to protect users in the UK," it says

Exciting to see centrists breathlessly wondering what happens next regarding international law, as if that is a thing that has ever existed, or has ever remotely slowed the imperialist war machine.
Also, Keir Starmer is the most spineless human who has ever existed. This is also not news.

This is the same Neo-Liberalistic US Imperialism of the last few decades, pursued by both Republican and Democrat administrations, but simply lacking the polished artifice of pretence. No justice here, no respect for sovereignty or law; just the shamelessness of a proto-fascist warmonger.

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.
