A WIRED review of outputs hosted on Grok’s official website shows it’s being used to create violent sexual images and videos, as well as content that includes apparent minors.

What did Jonathan Ross say when he went to the car and filmed the dying Renee Good?

That will indicate possible intent above and beyond his “fucking bitch” comment after he shot her in the face.

It’s a point that nobody seems to have raised yet.

So Capitol Police officers were assaulted and injured on Jan 6th, the White House today is blaming them for the violence, and the people who attacked them have been pardoned and are back to mock and abuse them on the 5th anniversary.
