The video in the thread redacts the images, mercifully. But you can see from the prompts what is happening. This is obscene, vicious and intolerable. X and Grok should be shut down until this grotesque harassment can be stopped. Those responsible should face the full force of the law.
One example of how Grok is being used to target women. Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch being sexualised, degraded, and humiliated step-by-step by Grok. All the images accurately reflect the prompts provided.

Anyone with an interest in North African folklore is likely to have heard of rain-dolls: Taghenja / Tlghnja / etc.
But they also occur all over the Levant. An example from Tel Brak, Syria:

The speed and manner with which Trump's campaign to expel all LatAm immigrants from the US became a claim of US sovereignty over the entire region shows that the problem was one of status, not presence.
Trump II has no problem with a two-tier caste system, whether inside or outside US borders.

Wife to husband:
"You won't go to Spain because of Franco and you won't go to Portugal because of Salazar. Do you have anything against the Mayor of Cleethorpes?"
From a cartoon in Punch magazine in the late 1960s. For some reason in my head a lot now.

One things that helps me empathize with people is understanding that many Americans are ruled by fear. Most of us are an illness or accident away from bankruptcy and work jobs that are precarious with no guarantee of any career stability.
People react with fear. It’s what motivates MAGA or AI hate.

What about if you arrest the winner and have a Sharpie?
among other things, you can't just *give* the Nobel prize to someone else. that's not how it works
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

You need to seriously consider sense modalities other than vision. Theorising about vision and assuming that it will generalise is not a good strategy. (Also, don’t conflate states, events and processes, but that’s another kettle of fish!) #PhilPerception

I think a similar thing to @noamchompers.bsky.social: that people tend to think that if the vehicles that produce scientific understanding are *false* (idealising, abstracting, distorting) then scientific understanding must (or can be) non-factive.
