Rather than update Grok to prevent outputs of sexualized images of minors, X is planning to purge users generating content that the platform deems illegal.

Dear Edith, it’s been eerily quiet on the front for the last two days, but I’m expecting another salvo of letters calling on the government to have a Royal Commission into Bondi to be launched at us anytime soon. If it’s from former reality TV stars this time we may not survive God save our souls

“We have been anticipating this breakthrough....our $2bn private placement memorandum is ready to go with several investment targets identified" "I’ve had a dozen calls over the past 24 hours from potential investors. Interest in Venezuela has gone from 0 to 99%" www.ft.com/content/67c4...

Good.

NSW Police Commissioner announces extension to anti-protest laws for another two weeks, saying publicly protesting about anything is “divisive” and could make “some people” “absolutely upset”. ‘Some people’s’ feelings now outweigh the right to protest in NSW? Yikes 🙄 #auspol

Dear Violet, the situation is dire. We are still being attacked on all fronts by tyrants and rogues of all kinds. The pithy social media posts and biting memes I have lobbed over the trench in the last ten years don't seem to have much affect. But I shall send another 100 today and see what happens

Thinking idly about how there was a time in the past where the Grok CSAM scandal would lead to a huge exodus off X to Bluesky and elsewhere but how now everyone who cared about such things has already left

The administration that hates refugees has just created more of them. Trump is smart that way.

QUID: Trump asks US Oil companies to give him $1 billion to retake the White House. PRO QUO: Venezuelan oil.

A simple habit can make a big difference. Here’s why. 👉 Read the full story: theconversation.com/do-i-ha...

Excellent analysis by Allan Behm on Venezuela thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

I guess the Trump regime will have to cut back even more on government payments and services for Americans in need, so billionaires can afford to invest in stolen oil infrastructure.

...aaaaand we're back to not staying at Hilton. apnews.com/article/ice-...

A sad reminder that Trump’s rancid legacy won’t be for just destroying things overseas.

"With great power comes great irresponsibility" The Trump Administration

If everyone still on X used Grok AI to change every pic posted of Trump and Musk there so that were in a skimpy bikini I'm pretty sure that whole function would get shut down pretty quickly

Can someone get Grok AI to remove the Emperor's clothes?

To be clear. Americans pay for the military who the oil companies used to steal the oil. They don’t pay tax and now they will be reimbursed. Normal citizens go broke for getting sick. America is truly a shit hole country.

Inbox: the Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s board has voted to dissolve the organization following Congress pulling its federal funding

So can we charge and convict sitting Presidents or not?

Bruce should have gotten 130 prominent business people and former sports people to write letters calling for a Royal Commission Into Why My Hat Has So Many Lion Tooth Sized Holes In It

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

Paul Daley nails it again... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So Sussan Ley supports the kidnapping of a leader so Trump can steal the oil from Venezuela 🤔 #auspol

By the way, it’s still happening www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/...

Weird that all those politicians who are against migration because migrants will supposedly take jobs and housing and strain infrastructure have nothing to say about data centres taking people's IP, electricty and water

When did "Never Again" become "Never Again, unless we do it" ?

So big tech is going to steal your intellectual property, your electricity and your water. We should insist to our governments that it isn’t allowed to

Zoe and I are asking people interested in democracy to help fund our fair elections case. The duopoly don't have to worry about funding because 'the Government' ends up being the defendant and so the taxpayer gets slugged to pay for their case. #auspol

Propaganda still masquerading as "journalism" in Western media. #BBC #Venezuela

US President Donald Trump has said Venezuela stole United States oil assets. The truth experts say is much more complex than that.

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Hitler! The original MAGArine

Best Johnathon Goodenough impression I’ve ever seen @mattgreencomedy.com

If Russia can't participate in international sports, why can the US? Ban them, and move the World Cup to Canada/Mexico.

Here’s a closer look at the amazing prehistoric rufous scrub bird - ancient relatives to most song birds and related to lyrebirds, we are hoping that our breakthrough with capture techniques == new opportunities for conservation (1/2)

It’s obviously Dan Andrews’ fault

Any decent country should simply refuse to participate in the World Cup if it’s on US soil if they care about international law and human rights

It's wild that the PM of a NATO member feels compelled to put out a statement like this vis-à-vis the US government.

Queensland cop you say…

Some people think being a bully makes you the Greatest Nation on Earth(TM) apparently

I’m still amazed that the sub judice aspect has been ignored in the rolling media campaign for a Bondi royal commission. In case you’ve not read about it (and why would you) I’ve written about it here: open.substack.com/pub/nickfeik...

And on this kind of garbage hang the fates of nations

The MJA is pleased to announce a call for papers for a Special Collection on Indigenous Health, which will have a publishing run from NAIDOC week 2026 until the end of 2026. The call for papers runs from now until 31 March 2026. For more information, click here: buff.ly/NIeVy94

Grok is literally a neo-Nazi communications tool. Do we understand yet?

@jimchalmers.bsky.social I state my horror at USA’s invasion of Venezuela. I demand Australia distance itself from the rogue, imperialist belligerent US. Call in US officials & tell them to we won’t accept invasion of sovereign nations or the overthrow of their governments. This hegemony must end.

An attack on Greenland would trigger Article 5 of the NATO treaty requiring them to respond to US aggression.
