I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

The Ruby community has a DHH problem
The Ruby community can no longer afford to stand silent in the face of DHH and his toxic ideas.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Which part exactly? The one where he said he wouldn't fly on a plane if the pilot is Black? Or the one where he called for the eradication of trans people or said proper Christians would stone gay people to death? Or when he said Palestinians don't exist? Or promoting great replacement conspiracy?
The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.

I think some of these people writing about Charlie Kirk are unaware of who Charlie Kirk was beyond Charlie Kirk’s self-description

The narrative is that shooting at Trump and Kirk is political violence while January 6 and Gaza don't exist and ICE abuses are the normal course of business
I'll merely note that today, like all days, is a great day to stop posting on Twitter, a platform whose owner force feeds this slop into people's brains with an algorithm designed to boost his views and trample yours.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:
"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

I think you should be able to say things the president doesn’t like and still be a citizen. Maybe we should write that down somewhere.

The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like.
And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as “a spat” between Don & Rosie

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you
