not to go all identity politics but I think it’s also because the victims are women
one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

happy(?) new year everyone, for my first piece of 2026 I wrote about Grok's *still*-ongoing CSAM blitz and the troubling, embarrassing silence of lawmakers in the U.S. and U.K. who've spent the past year censoring the internet for the sake of "child safety" yet are saying and doing nothing about X:

from watching culinary class wars i have learned there’s a Korean “ouuaahh” type vocalization which has a very similar tone and apparent range of meanings to German “boaahh” (think: positively OR negatively surprised, overwhelmed,

It’s been very striking to see mainstream news coverage of Venezuela. The not-so-subtle framing is: this wasn’t a bad idea. The sourcing is: a random assortment of people in the U.S. who don’t have to deal with the ramifications of Trump’s strike on Venezuela.

This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.
But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

“this is illegal” or “that person’s a felon” are dangerous frameworks to employ in a moment where making the right choice is increasingly criminalized. figure out how to support the people who will have to take legal risks in order to act morally, or we’re stuck with the scenario described here.
look man at that point you get yourself arrested
