This is the top reply on X under a post by a prominent female US cable news journalist about the Minnesota shooting, followed by an image created by Grok exactly to this spec. Journalists should not be contributing to a platform that is actively hostile towards them.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

Fox Producer: Jesse Watters would like to invite you on his show
AOC: He has sexualized and harassed me on his show.
FP: That’s not true
AOC: He accused me of wanting to sleep with Stephen Miller. So why don’t you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman.

They're banning Plato.
There's an episode of Rumpole of the Bailey where a professor is so enraged by the defunding of classical teaching that he murders the dean.

The day in 2003 the new series of Doctor Who was announced should have been joyous for those of us on the official site.
Instead, the phone rang. Guy from BBC Wales Online announcing he was the new editor of the site, demanding all files and passwords immediately.
