We need to fight these bastards with everything we've got. Fuck your fascist country

In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼 www.theverge.com/news/859309/...

If we're going to ban social media and mobile phones for kids, then we need to ban Facebook and the Daily Mail for boomers. For the exact same fucking reasons.

🚨 SUNSET AFTER 4PM KLAXON!!! 🚨

The heat 🔥 trapped in our oceans is breaking records again, fueling the intense floods and storms hitting our neighborhoods. As moms, we see the stakes: our homes and our children’s health. We need climate action now for a safer tomorrow. 🌊💪😡 #ClimateAction www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I reached out to more than three dozen X advertisers, xAI investors, politicians, and government agencies about the growing library of sexualized deepfakes generated with Grok—now including Renee Good. I only heard back from four, with three declining to comment. spitfirenews.com/p/grok-deepf...

I’d have thought the domestic terrorists were the ones wearing balaclavas and shooting people dead, but what do I know?

It's Bowie's birthday, which means it's time for the annual repost of my drawing of a bunch of dancing Daves in the style of Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts. Happy Birthday, Mr Jones.

Just devastating. 😢 Speeding driver who killed my son has destroyed my family www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Excellent comprehensive explanation of the unique Scottish electoral system. Revolutionary compared to the archaic unrepresentative UK Westminster system. Nevertheless, still marred by the list system component; a consolation prize for 2nd raters unable get ‘directly‘ elected by voters In Scotland.

Transforming overgrown farm #ponds by scrub & mud removal. Before restoration this Norfolk pond was anoxic from bed to surface, had an impoverished plant & invertebrate community & lacked breeding amphibians. All of these things were reversed BIG TIME after restoration! @arc-trust.bsky.social

Critically, we also need the public to support actions that enable older people to live great lives without having to drive for when they fail the eye tests. So the public need to get onboard with no pavement parking, pedestrian priority, denser housing, fewer out-of-town shopping centres, etc etc

every seat in a movie theater should have an "I have to pee" button and if enough people press it they should be able to pause the movie

Telling isn't it that all the "protect our girls" people are still on X despite what Grok is doing.

The building of this path would encourage more active travel and provide a safer route for pupils travelling to and from Currie High School. www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2026/01/05/n...

In my 20s I read a lot of books by young famous authors. My mistake was assuming that path was normal & not a freak occurrence. Most writers need to live, dream & fail for decades before we find our voice. We're not saplings. We're gnarly trees, here to describe how our bark & branches got this way.

There is a lot of debate in Glasgow just now as they look to introduce 20mph speed limits across the city. I hope this article in the Glasgow Times helps explain how the benefits we’ve seen in Edinburgh can now help them. www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/scottis...

I’m so tired of living in interesting times.
