Grok is the worst AI to use - please use alternatives.
One example of how Grok is being used to target women. Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch being sexualised, degraded, and humiliated step-by-step by Grok. All the images accurately reflect the prompts provided.

Sen Kelly please sue - free speech is not a reason to cut your pension!
Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

USA is stupidly suppressing alternative energy. World needs a lot of carbon fuels for a long time. But that's a poor excuse to not also support new technologies and cleaner fuels at the same time. That's long term good business policy. This is an ignorant move by a few greedy old men.
The geopolitics of energy moving way faster than many pundits in the US seem able to see or admit.
The US isn't winning and the GOP is doubling down on losing strategies.
Climate action has always been inevitable.
How fast it goes and who benefits the most are the questions.

My sense is that China is using this oldie but goodie @rockymountviews.bsky.social playbook to destroy global oil demand. With subsidized EV technology, China can help 50+ emerging markets destroy 3-4 million barrels per day of oil demand by 2030.

True. Venezuela smuggles cocaine into the USA. That really doesn't kill people. I hate everything that Trump does, but the question arises - why haven't we done something effective to stop fentanyl etc. from coming in? I think our presidents have ignored the problem for too long.
"From Venezuela and other places" is, I suppose, technically true in the same sense that "from Antarctica and other places" would be.
MacCALLUM: You have about 100,000 dying from drug overdoses, most of those drugs from from Venezuela and other places
CROW: That's actually not true. The majority of the deaths by drugs in America are the result of meth and fentanyl. Almost none of that comes from Venezuela

How can things get any worse? Maybe we now invade Mexico...
FOX & FRIENDS: What do you see as the future of Venezuela's oil industry?
TRUMP: Well I see that we're gonna be very strongly involved in it. That's all. What can I say. We have the greatest oil companies in the world.
