This is an outrageous abdication of journalistic duty. Grok's apology was prompted by a human, as was its equally vehement self-defense. People are willingly hurling themselves into the AI trashbin at the bidding of oligarchs who will happily remove them from their jobs.

Our son depends on 24-hour care to live independently. That is now in jeopardy because payments are being delayed. We are figuring out if he can return to his home & if his staff will work without pay. His precarious Jenga tower of services is falling down around him...This is beyond a disaster!

You've probably been following the story about fraud in MN. I wrote about the people who provide services who are being driven into bankruptcy, thanks to the Walz' administration decision to hire Optum AI to screen all payments. It's a disaster.

lol I just came across this post by Zoharn’s wife Rama Duwaji’s stylist and the boots were…. on loan open.substack.com/pub/brainmat...

The biggest trending topic on social media is how Elon Musks’s generative AI tool grok is being used to make CSAM and other explicit and abusive content. But it’s not being covered by media or spoken by elected officials.

My friend Tasneem and her family in Gaza have lost everything; their home, livelihood, and security. This is the case for thousands of Gazans. I support Tasneem, there are many more in need. Please give to Tasneem so she can take care of her children. And to others. ❤️ chuffed.org/project/1587...

For the last few days on X, people (mainly women, and sometimes children) have had nonconsensual images of them in swimsuits (or much worse) requested by users and created by Grok. Musk's only apparent response thus far has been to crack jokes about it.

And in such a powerful line ♥️

Mandy Patinkin singing with the PS 22 chorus before @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s inauguration

Just fyi this is one of the many reasons Californians don’t like Newsom. A 5% tax on our 200 billionaires would prevent a healthcare collapse from the ACA subsidies going away and he’s opposed to it.

I see that the NY Post is going to give Rama the Michelle Obama treatment for the next 4-8 years. Unsurprising since she's a beautiful woman of color. She's already been called petulant, angry, hypocritical, etc etc... Hope she relishes their hatred.

Mamdani arrives to his mayoral inauguration at City Hall in a motorcade of NYC taxi cabs—workers he went on hunger strike with in 2021.

“Part-owner Umi Hassan said she lived here right after 9/11 and didn’t feel as marginalized and fearful as she does today. She’s unable to sleep at night and carries her passport everywhere. Tears running down her face, she asked, “What else can I do to be an American?””

The war is over, but the nightmare hasn’t ended The bombs have stopped, but life hasn’t returned. Our city is silent nothing but rubble and painful memories We lost our home, and we’re trying to survive among the ruins We have no one but you after God Donate and share our story🙏 gofund.me/d14cbe76

Maha really needs a new tent

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution: If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow. If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious. By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

Today is my last daily verification ❤️ I have tons of resources for how to verify on your own and I’ll also probably make a thread soon on other trusted verification sources- but as always the best thing you can do to verify a family is in Gaza is speak with them

Emergency rescue😭🥶🥹🥶 We are pleading for your help. Our tent is destroyed; we are homeless, without a tent, and slowly freezing to death. We urgently need $150 to buy a tent. Please help kids; my wife suffers from a heart valve condition🥹 Verified @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/1574...

ICE Returns to Santa Maria for Fourth Day in a Row; At Least 40 Taken

Confirmed: ICE Is Arresting American Citizens—and Lying About It A government that flouts the Fourth Amendment and then lies about it to courts and the people has crossed a moral and legal frontier. newrepublic.com/article/2026...

TIL that Obama is the only president to have been born since the US had 50 states and like what are we doing here people?

addendum: Nip it in the BUD, not butt You got another THINK coming (i.e., think again), not another thing coming

Hey all, I've spent the past few weeks working really hard on the kobold heart hoard project and it's available for pre-order now. It's 10 glass hearts, starting at $25. nora.jewelry/products/kob... Shares are appreciated.

The richest man on earth, the richest man in human history, personally obliterated the US agency that had been preventing these horrors. He sneered that he had to miss some good parties in order to spend his weekend erasing the agency these people had depended on. Inhuman.

Please read this & speak out. Understand how relatively modest US investments in health systems and commodities can stem an unspeakable burden of suffering.

My friend Hammam’s accounts keep getting nuked as he & his family are in more need than ever. Please contribute to his campaign!!! I think people need to engage with his posts so the app stops flagging him as spam. Can folks please just say hi or comment an emoji on his posts?

Without warm clothes or food ، This is how my family lives. Please save us from the bitter cold. We are dying slowly. Help my child. 😭🙏💔 Verified by @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/1604...

It is WILD how people are pissed off because a random daycare - in a place where there was a school shooting less than six months ago - isn't letting random adults *with cameras* into their buildings to "see what they're doing."

Are white people aware that Trump won twice BECAUSE A MAJORITY OF WHITE PEOPLE WHO VOTED PUT HIM IN OFFICE?????????? Why is this consistently elided???? Stop being ridiculous.

So @lexialex.bsky.social filed this appeal but is only getting automated replies @support.bsky.team very disappointed given @aaron.bsky.team also lives in Ireland. Have they not taught you anything about solidarity with Palestine?

Brad Lander approached Nancy Pelosi at a gala and told her he was running for Congress. “I am a Dan Goldman Democrat,” she responded. “Democrats don’t run against Democrats.” “Was I too much of a b—?” she asked after. @donlemonofficial.bsky.social tells the story:

Still unreported, should be investigated: ICE shot Richard outside a mall. I visited mall security office. Guard said ICE and LAPD came in, used thumb drive to copy mall’s video footage, and THEN DELETED THE EVIDENCE from mall’s local drives. He showed me the missing timeline part saying “no data.”

The thing that’s particularly galling about this is that most disabled people I know have given up getting anyone outside of us to mask. We mask ourselves and try to get on with our lives, and y’all still can’t keep our fucking names out of your mouths. Just running through there rent fucking free

These guys were run off the road by armed cops, had their photos splashed across the internet with accusations of a follow up attack and were on holiday doing absolutely nothing.
