Oh my god; Grok is Elon Musk’s AI-Powered Perpetual Wank Machine and Elon Musk himself is such a weak and desperate piece of shit, running entirely on the fumes of a lifelong masculinity panic, that he actually thought allowing this to happen, in public, was a good idea.
My dude, it was not.

The very definition of “Republican”today is to be a sore loser. Such a whiny, weak posture - and affixed to the brand forever.

Gonna wear band tshirts all week*, to show disrespect to Sussssan Ley.
Or would she believe I am a Trumpist because Trump is on this tshirt?
Surely, “do you understand irony?” is a thing that gets asked in candidate vetting?
*I wear band t-shirts all week, every week, I’m a GenX cliche. #auspol

I’d like to congratulate conservative leader Susssssan Ley on making the 62-year-old career politician Labor Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese, look absolutely *cool as fuck*. Thank you, Susssssan - a hundred brand managers in a hundred timelines could not have managed this. #auspol

I would be happy to fundraise for anti-fascist statues to be erected in every city on the earth and you should be, too.
Here’s another iconic statue, of Dutch WW2 anti-fascist hero Hannie Schaft - made by her friend, anti-fascist hero, Truus Oversteegen - in Haarlem, the Netherlands.
