Telling isn't it that all the "protect our girls" people are still on X despite what Grok is doing.

I think this still gets overlooked. It wasn’t just the tidal wave of racist filth, it was the deliberate puncturing of the life preservers.
I scrolled the feeds of people who vanished from Twitter after 2022, and it's wall-to-wall Democrats whose last tweets are basically "the new algo buried me", "I'm being throttled", and "no one sees my stuff anymore."

Before Christmas the Baroness Amos report into maternity and neonatal care was pretty horrific reading. Women not being listened to, mums and babies being harmed or even dying.
And perhaps most depressing of all...none of it was a surprise. Multiple reports over multiple years have told us the same

Last year Liz Truss attempted to use legal action to defend her reputation. Private Eye has obtained a transcript of her meeting with lawyers.

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

A decade long transatlantic panic about the civilizational threat of left-wing cancel culture and we now have an "anti-woke" censorship campaign taking out Plato at a major American university. Absolutely pathetic.
From an email to one of our faculty members....
Not even Plato can escape censorship at Texas A&M!

Britain has talked itself into a flat tailspin. Had weeks of ppl telling me that the country's on the verge of catastrophe. In reality real wages are rising and the economy growing. God alone knows what ppl would say if we went back to the early 80s, 17% interest rates and four million unemployed.

I think Starmer has got 70% of everything wrong - a kind estimate. The one quality of his that seems to me hugely useful in the middle of this utter madness is that he doesn't shoot from the hip. And this precise quality appears to be a huge disappointment to other.
I don't get it. Like, at all.

Women exist to be degraded and humiliated via sexualisation

The pardon for Hernandez makes an obvious & absolute mockery of each & every attempt to rationalise, or even justify, Trump's treatment of Maduro. I'm not sure this single, simple point can be stressed enough. Once again, he proves his critics right & reduces his supporters to epic moral corruption.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Polish PM Tusk: No-one will take seriously a weak and divided Europe: neither enemy nor ally. It is already clear now. We must finally believe in our own strength, we must continue to arm ourselves, we must stay united like never before. One for all, and all for one. Otherwise, we are finished.

Huntington's disease successfully treated for the first time #SomeGoodNews
The new treatment is a type of gene therapy given during extended brain surgery. Data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients, so the decline you'd normally expect in one year would take four years after treatment.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela.
Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law.
Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

I had 270,000 followers when I closed my account.
But all I lost was 200,000 bots and trolls. The real people — the funny, the decent, the smart, the interesting — are already here. They'll find you.
Leave X. Just do it. It's personal, political and societal poison.
