there are *so many* big number accounts on twitter saying "we can't leave, we built a community here and-" sorry pal, you're anchoring smaller accounts to a site which could deposit illegal imagery directly into their timeline. the only sensible move is to tell them to leave, and you with it

So queer kids aren't allowed on trans subreddits but Keir Starmer gets to use the child porn site every day, got it
Keir Starmer's spokesman asked if Government will still use X now it posts indecent images of children, replies "we always keep communication channels under review to reach public in most appropriate way possible”
"Operators are under obligation to act appropriately. We always hope they would do"

you could say "welcome to hell" and argue with grok over its CSAM imagery, or you could accept that everyone knows it sucks and is bad, and elon doesn't care and nothing will happen in terms of consequences, and just delete your account. if this won't convince you to delete your account, what will?

Was at a Christmas party with a load of clergy last night and as some people were leaving they found a person collapsed on the street outside so the Verger took over and called an ambulance and sent all the clergy away because "if they wake up surrounded by priests that'll just make things worse"

Speaking of egg nog, I have here cut the Kroger store-brand non-alcoholic nog with an equal amount of Coke Zero, because Coke's favor profile actually works with egg nog, and also this way I'm not drinking something with the consistency of glue. It's kind of like an Egg Nog Float, which is not bad.
