Look oil companies are evil as shit OK, but total respect for taking their shot at actually doing the "They have the opportunity here to do a really funny thing" meme and making Trump look like a cunt.

Half Life dazzled in a lot of places, but the one which sucks in my mind is the bit where after walking forwards, moving in 2d space so much, there was a firefight on a vertical cliff face. It was such a wild change, & something I'd never even thought could exist in a game

Step 1: Generate a huge amount of publicity for your child porn engine by generating a load of child porn Step 2: Make pedos pay to use your child porn engine This isn't response to a backlash; it's a fucking business plan for a child porn business

I mean the statutes of the Royal Society are fairly clear that they are supposed to make judgements about the character and behaviour of fellows

Artists need to understand that we have avenues available to us on YouTube when our work is used without credit. Moreso for monetized channels making a living off their content. I've lost respect for fellow artists who say 'Well its just the way it is' and don't think its worth defending ourselves.

ELON: That pic of me next to Ghislaine Maxwell is just a fluke, we happened to be at the same party and someone snapped it. I don't even remember meeting her. Of course I'm not a pedo. ALSO ELON: More naked children! More I say! I insist you flood the website I own with pictures of naked children!

“At 34 years old, Ella McCay becomes the governor of the state she was born and raised in.”

There are two wolves inside of you. One always lies and one always tells the truth. Your boat is only big enough to carry one across the river at once.

Beautiful x

I can't join ICE because I can spell ICE without needing to read it off my clothes

The Verge has made this point too bsky.app/profile/zomb...

Worth noting that X hasn't even made the Grok nudification feature available to paying users only. Any user, free or paid, can still use the tool on Grok's dedicated site; the bit that's behind the paywall is specifically being able to tweet @-grok to generate pics

Ah Well that's good, fair play. And a fairly quick response for them, given that it probably wasn't really on their radar 2 days ago, and such statements have to be very carefully written & checked

That's fair But can you imagine aspiring to going to work for Elon? I'm sure some of them do. I bet Kemi *wishes* she could get that gig (but, alas, he is racist, sexist, & would hate being around a person with a real engineering degree rather than his fake one) But what a depressing dream, eh?

Leaving aside fear of Elon and his leathery frenemy in the White House, I think what the voters want is way less relevant to the UK government than which big companies might give them cushy jobs apres le deluge

If only there was some kind of pattern to all of this

“.. Manufacturing payrolls -8k in December ... eighth consecutive month of declines for the manufacturing sector ..” - Schwab #NFP

"Private sector payrolls coming in much weaker than expected" -- Maria Bartiromo and company cope with an underwhelming December jobs report (wait for Stephen Moore's bonkers commentary at the end)

Nearly every industry lost jobs or flatlined in the past year

his pronunciation of "Grok" is 👌

I'll believe it when I see it, but seeing Europe beginning to grow even half a bollock when it comes to Musk is so welcome that I am allowing myself to take additional pleasure in the way that this man says "this is not spicy, this is illegal".

EXCLUSIVE: Leaked WhatsApp messages show Labour MPs urging govt to leave X, arguing that it should "show direction to others in the UK" The MPs said X owner Elon Musk is "fascist" and that the platform's AI tool, Grok, had put "children in harm's way"

Fair point, sadly, at least at the moment. But I do think the fact that this is hitting mainstream press now is going to gather speed because: 1. Most Britons still hate Elon, even normies, after the Hitler salutes 2. "Our website should be allowed to generate a flood of child porn" is indefensible

If I was an X executive based in the UK, I would glance at the British media-political clique who are nigh-universally addicted to my product and go for a nice long lunch with a couple of bottles of decent wine

Columbus, rotten herpes dick out, splashing through the water towards some innocent manatees fully intending to fuck them until he got a bit closer & decided he could probably find a prettier one to rape

Yup. Also, the Online Safety Act 2023 lets the govt fine a company like X up to 10% of global *revenue* (i.e. money in, not net profit) & "In the most extreme cases" ban payment processors, ISPs & advertisers from working with that company: www.gov.uk/government/p... This is surely the most extreme

If I was an X executive based in the UK, I would be seriously concerned about my legal/criminal exposure right now. They are running a website that is producing and distributing CSAM on an industrial scale.

During these challenging times, we could all benefit from a smile, so I would like to present the oldest smile in the world: the Mannetje van Willemstad (the little man from Willemstad, Netherlands). The Mesolithic figurine, dating about 5400 BC, was carved in oak wood. 🧵 1/2 📷 me 🏺 #archaeology

This little fella is later (1st millennium BC) but a great smile! Isedotai site, Final Jomon, Japan

On a similar note, I'd like to share with you all a Louisiana marching band video from 2017 which I only saw for the first time recently But first, here's the song they're playing - Still Fly by Big Tymers, & please listen to a bit of it first: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iCd...

For those who don’t know: in New Orleans high school marching bands practice after school on neighborhood streets and it’s a delight.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

There honestly cannot be a satire cutting enough to make fun of Americans. What the fuck do you mean the highest colonial ideal you could imagine was a parking lot with McDonald's on both sides

In 1998, the (bad) Italian movie Cucciolo somehow managed to do something important: they shot quite a long sequence in the now-defunct SegaWorld London, located inside the London Trocadero. The park opened in 1996 and closed in 1999. Here is the entire sequence.

I used to fly out of Stanstead regularly with a group of male colleagues, my bag was searched every time, none of their's were. The day mine wasn't, I was standing there like a lemon waiting when they waved me through with the words, it's ok, we caught her.

I used to get my checked bags searched every single time I flew, they leave a little card saying they’ve done it, so finally I put a note in my bag asking why and they wrote on the card that carrying so many books on a flight is usually how people hide illegal amounts of cash

Again, "I only make CSAM for money" would not help an ordinary person's defence, but would aggravate their sentencing.

It’s important to point out that along with everything else this is also quite deranged.

Oh, he doesn't understand how anything works, does he? He thinks if he's captured the President, that means he's in charge now. No, silly man; there is currently no US military presence in Venezuela & it remains independent Also, let's get into this cartoonish claim about $4 billion of oil, eh?

with HUGE content warning for graphic violent descriptions (no images or videos) in this article - this is a good summary of how what we're seeing on X isn't even the worst of it, with Grok. www.wired.com/story/grok-i...
