If you're reporting on the deepfake porn site because of Grok, please make clear in the headline that governments not acting are allowing the scaled abuse of women and children online.
Don't say Grok is doing that harm. Grok isn't doing anything. It's human men who are doing these things.

The Venn diagram of people in the Christofascist Canada First “movement” and people who are cheering on Trump’s plans to takeover the Western Hemisphere is a circle - a big, stupid circle.

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured.
Trump then pardoned the attackers.
He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

On the upside, maybe this has finally motivated Canadians to look locally, like at all the spectacular wineries in Prince Edward County.

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests.
None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.

I have at least two people in my replies who are extremely upset that I suggested the two political assassinations of democratic politicians, yes even white ones, counts as an act of Jim Crow style terror and what is alarming is that these two accounts seem to be real people.
