one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

When those who hate trans people win - or pretend to win, cf Sandie Peggie - it's all over the media, even if it's just a tribunal decision. But when they lose, even in the Court of Appeal, it's absolute bloody tumbleweed. So here's our blog about Allison Bailey latest loss. goodlaw.social/3uyd
Allison Bailey loses her case against Stonewall – again

Everything happening now was obvious by March 2021. That's why I wrote about it *then*.
This matters because this is a planned autocracy. Feigned surprise at horrors is meant to rewrite history and present our plight as if it wasn't a plan obvious four years ago and countenanced by both parties.

People can spout any old bollocks these days and it no longer matters whether it's true. "This shit executive estate contains unique homes." "The President is not Satan." "Your cat ran a high-end interior decor business during the 1990s." So where do we find truth? Books, that's fucking where.

I’m usually at a moderate level of annoyance with the NYT but this is fucking outrageous. The US president doesn’t get to fucking pick another country’s leader, & headlines shouldn’t present it as just a normal decision, like picking a nominee for a mid-level federal agency. It’s not our colony!

I have a hunch that if you or I were running a website doing this the "urgent contact" would involve door rams and handcuffs so I struggle to see why it can't be slightly more pugnacious than this.
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

There are a few people online saying they enjoyed this novel enough to read it multiple times. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. Everyone knows no literary novel is actually real, nor can it be enjoyed, until it's been talked about on Radio 4 by posh people and referenced in a broadsheet newspaper by a TV chef.
I finished Everything Will Swallow You two days ago and immediately started it over again.
It passes my own "good fiction" test with flying colors: I am thinking about the characters when I am not reading the book, and the ~sense of place~ of the book is as much a character as the bipeds.
