X says Grok account will stop undressing women. I just tested the standalone Grok app, which immediately complied with my request to undress a photo of me. This is illegal, according to the legal experts I spoke with.

Growing numbers of over-60s Britons facing homelessness.

Low wages/benefits. State pension is low. No curbs on profiteering.

Real cuts in council funding for years. Lack of social housing.

1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world.

This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Let’s just make the next 3 years much easier to take & accept right now that under Trump the US is unfortunately not an ally

Double down on closer links to EU, Canada , Australia , Japan & Korea & most of all Ukraine.

"Israeli forces were responsible for 95 of the 122 deaths in the past year.

...Australia’s mainstream media remains largely silent about Israel’s targeting of Palestinian journalists"

On Israel, our media rarely 'speaks truth to power'.
They enable the cover-up. #GazaGenocide #auspol

Daily consumers of bottled water ingest over 90,000 more microplastic particles than people who drink tap water.

There are no warnings on bottles.

Either companies do not test their products, or conceal the harms to boost profits and exec pay.

What do regulators do?
Bottled water drinkers ingest 90,000 more microplastic particles each year
New review finds people who drink tap water ingest only about 4,000 microplastic particles a year

“You are not entitled to a response from us, or anyone, ever,” is what a US Education Department spokesperson wrote to one of our reporters, @megomatz.bsky.social, after she repeatedly tried to get comment from the department and its officials. My column on the condemnation of good journalism.
Our Reporters Reached Out for Comment. They Were Accused of Stalking and Intimidation.
Our journalists reach out to people they’re writing about to ensure fairness. But in this environment, they’ve found their efforts to do so are more likely to be vilified than appreciated.
