Once again reminding people that Elon Musk's genuine field of expertise, the thing he is actually quite knowledgeable about and good at, is not engineering or business, but bad faith legal shenanigans
The X Terms of Service are amazing in many regards, but the choice of law and choice of forum parts (in Section 6) are a real standout. They apply to everything, including patent disputes, apply to pending and future disputes without regard to when the conduct occurred (or will occur)...
Conservative influencer Ashley St Clair had a baby with Elon Musk in 2024. Things turned sour when she expressed mild support of trans rights. Elon cut child support and sued for custody; his followers made deepfake porn of her on X; she sued X; now X is suing HER!

But this isn’t just a soap opera:

baseball’s second-biggest problem is that fully 29 of its franchises don’t actually care to compete for the best players and would rather do price collusion. its biggest problem is how many baseball fans are herb-ass scab losers who think this makes the 30th franchise the bad guy

Centrists love to quote the bit in 1984 that says,“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

For some reason, they think it only applies to the GOP.
The House voted 341 to 79 to fund Trump's war-mongering foreign policy agenda.

Only 57 Democrats voted NO.

People don't want to accept that the primary reason that we have Trump today is that the previous administration completely failed. It should have never gotten to the point where it was in the so-called hands of the voters. It was already too late by then.

Whatever the outcome is in today’s SCOTUS case, it’s important to remember that ultimately sports should be for everyone and forcing someone to nonconform just to compete is antithetical to team sports and the goal of driving trans people out of public life.

it's so cool that the reporting on this was "PROBLEM SOLVED: NOW YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THE CHILD PORN; CHILD PORN NO LONGER FREE"
In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼

because I can freely download two different child pornography generating apps on Apple's App Store and the Google Play store, both very popular and highly ranked, I must conclude that Apple and Google endorse that activity
New: Trio of Dem senators urge Apple and Google to enforce their own terms of service and ban X, Grok apps for their flood of nonconsensual sexual imagery.

I've repeatedly asked both Apple and Google about this for three days. They're completely silent, seemingly hoping the question just goes away.
