people really, truly do not enjoy being treated as stupid and they are treating absolutely everyone who isn’t already in on the con as the biggest marks imaginable
it’s not going to get through to everyone but it will get through to some of them

basically just keep repeating "they lied to you because they think you're stupid and you should be furious at them for it" for shit like this
a lot of folks going “of course we knew they were full of shit” and we did
but there are plenty of people out there who take their sanctimonious bullshit about gun rights at face value and it is important to shove this in their faces and go, no, they don’t mean a single word they say

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

whenever someone says “they should make that”, they should think about who ‘they’ is, think about why they haven’t made it, and then if they can’t think of any reasons, make it themself.

Something we talk about a lot is that parents don't want to be chauffeurs for their children. It's unfortunate that tech companies are filling the void instead of safe, reliable transit. And this is only a solution for people who can afford a $20 - $40 fare.
Bay Area parents are relying on robotaxis to transport their unaccompanied children. This practice breaks the rules imposed by Waymo, but parents have found they’re unlikely to get caught.
Parents are letting teens ride in Waymos without an adult. That poses a dilemma for the company

I wrote section 230 to protect user speech, not a company's own speech. I've long said AI chatbot outputs are not protected by 230 and that it is not a close call. Given that the Trump administration is going to the mat to protect pedophiles, states should step in to hold Musk and X accountable.
I am not a Section 230 expert but being that Twitter is creating and publishing these photos I wonder if they actually have any civil legal protection? @kenwhite.bsky.social ? @akivamcohen.bsky.social ?
What X is allowing Grok to do is unlawful or regulatory-illegal in multiple jurisdictions, creates clear DSA violations, and continues despite regulator scrutiny. The images do not need to be pornographic, non-consensual sexualised or intimate depictions are enough.
