“Grok is generating at least one non-consensual sexual image every minute”
Grok Is Undressing Women and Children. Only Elon Musk Is to Blame
The abuse is widespread. But instead of apologizing, Musk has gleefully encouraged the behavior, praising Grok’s ability and promoting the tool.

1/2 Trump has launched an illegal act of aggression against Venezuela.
A clear breach of the Nuremberg principles - which the UK helped write. Now a Labour government won’t even defend them.
This silence isn’t diplomacy. It’s the moral equivalent of a white flag.

Darren Jones saying repeatedly the Labour Government won't comment on a hypothetical.
It's not hypothetical - Trump is saying very loudly repeatedly what he's done and boasting about it.
And yet the UK Government won't even say it's a breach of international rules. Shameful.

The ticket pricing for the World Cup is a disgrace. Making fans pay for all eight games up front is a disgrace.
The game is being taken from the people and sold back to them at an unforgivable premium.

World Cup ticket prices are hideously, unforgivably expensive
Watching your country play shouldn’t be the pursuit solely of the super-rich - this is so far beyond the pale it has to cause a line in the sand

I suspect the real reason Nigel Farage is getting so rattled by the racism allegations is that:
1) He knows he said all these things so can't properly deny them
2) He knows that he carried on saying them well into adulthood
