Journalists need to stop writing that “Grok is spreading child pornography” or “Grok is spreading antisemitic messages.” Grok is a human creation with algorithms created by humans working for X. The technology is not responsible. The people running the company are.

A very long and important THREAD - The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

A reminder that 90% of Ireland's so-called 'forests' are industrial plantations, virtually empty of nature. It doesn't have to be like this: with a bit of thought, we could satisfy our timber needs AND have huge tracts of natural forest ecosystems, bursting with life.

“They can’t defeat Ukraine, why would they attack Europe?” Great question, the answer is because they are evil fucks and they are counting on Europe, NATO, to do the usual blithering peace bullshit and try to reach an agreement quickly. The peace talks are seen as weakness and preferable to Europe.

Whether Russia accepts or declines the deal with Ukraine doesn’t matter, it is still on the war path and will begin its 3rd invasion as late as 2029 according to European intelligence. A deal right now is not preventing war but putting it on pause as Russia regroups and rebuilds its invasion forces.

As a rainforest forms naturally all around this boulder, so do the more sheltered, humid conditions allow a rich bed of mosses and other plants to recolonise. Continual nature loss is not inevitable: the reverse is equally possible.
