Enjoyed the show.

Can’t believe a few didn’t know the ‘WHO WANTS TO SEX MUTUMBO!?!?’ story.

Exactly. The other thing is that the people you’re interacting with are much more likely to be accepting or even participating in that sh*t!

Hmmm. I am liking the Liam Rosenior appointment more by the minute.

I am not sure what it is, but I think he is a really good judge of character.

This is just the beginning, I promise you: an open letter to Donald Trump | Liam Rosenior
The US president’s racism is so blatant he may be an unwitting catalyst for overdue cultural change all over the world

Something I've been saying since I was an idiot teenager that High Schools that taught creationism as a viable theory in science classes shouldn't have their students admitted into colleges...

But they can go to Texas A&M now.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Excited, just hope he's given time... I don't think top-4 is out-of-reach, but it's not likely either.

Been wanting to check out those new Air Keds... looks like they got some buckets in them.
I like to get shots up

Because Republican voters (as a block) do not have moral principles… So their leaders can flip-flop and be as hypocritical as they want to be.
If the biggest donor to the DCCC/DNC ran a website where you could use AI to take women's clothes off I feel like there'd be a demand for Dems to give the money back.

Famously what all normal people say.

I hope this is sarcasm.

I’d argue Dane has said stuff on his show that isn’t a-political… and he’s not on BlueSky at all.

Sisqo can be Governor of MN, still lives in MG right?

Every time I running their clips randomly I’m ashamed there’s any sort of audience for that.

Has a court ruled on whether, under Section 230, a web site’s AI generating content based on a user prompt is treated as the web site’s speech? Seems to me it should be, just as if the site operator published speech answering someone’s question.

BWEPRA
I am not a Section 230 expert but being that Twitter is creating and publishing these photos I wonder if they actually have any civil legal protection? @kenwhite.bsky.social ? @akivamcohen.bsky.social ?
What X is allowing Grok to do is unlawful or regulatory-illegal in multiple jurisdictions, creates clear DSA violations, and continues despite regulator scrutiny. The images do not need to be pornographic, non-consensual sexualised or intimate depictions are enough.

I don’t know him personally, but I’ve heard a things from people who do interact with him that suggest that…

Appreciate the response.

It’s a bad spot, and a choice I’m not forced to make, thankfully… It’s a byproduct of a larger media ecosystem that has gone off the rails.
January 5, 2026 at 3:53 PM
Makes you wonder what would be horrific enough to make someone leave…

Sorry, engagement is too good!

It’s not, but if he’s not going to come over here I’m still going to @ that.

Get worried every time I see an extreme reaction to to a milquetoast centric candidate floated…

Aren’t we in triage mode??? It might already be 10 years too late!
