I reckon over the past decade I have been sexually harassed ten times more often inside the Palace of Westminster than I have on London streets

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.

All of this talk about Grok; we also need to identify the fact that it's been driven by a 15 year old boy mentality. It's the sexual aggression of a boy; to humiliate an opponent you make them female, you strip them because they think that's how you humiliate women and dominate them through rape.

I think the AI angle of this is obscurant. It doesn’t matter that grok is “an AI” whatever you take that to mean. Suppose X hired a team of guys to photoshop the clothes off of women and children whenever anyone asks. That’s functionally identical what happening here. It’s not complicated.
A functional country would shut Grok down permanently. Like, immediately. Right now. Last week. Whatever. Just flip the switch. Obviously.

I have obviously spent too much time around the police (professionally) because Amanda in the Traitors spoke for 2 seconds and I said "She's a cop". The fact that none of the rest of them have clocked it is sus. Especially the secret barrister, she fucking knows and they've edited out her saying it

This poster is one of the best on here and I’m so sad we’re losing her because of the appalling harassment she has been subjected to. Of course she must look after herself. And the rest of us need to do whatever we can to challenge and change this cruel, sick, dangerous, culture.
I‘m discontinuing my social media use for the foreseeable future and I want to explain why.
I woke up in the new year to discover that some guy on here had saved photos I took on New Year’s Eve and used Grok to remove my clothes. I know this because he showed me.

Suspending Doctors Without Borders is definitely a thing healthy countries do
Israel says it will suspend several humanitarian groups, including Doctors Without Borders, in 2026 for failing its new vetting rules for groups working in Gaza. Some international organizations have said that Israel’s rules are arbitrary and could endanger staff.

Doesn’t feel good that the head of BBC News Content is instructing reporters to refer to trans people with slurs. If this leak is real it raises questions about who made this decision, who was consulted, and why the BBC chose to ignore its own editorial guidelines on slurs and offensive language

The BBC has circulated leaked guidance telling journalists to describe trans women as “biological males”.

I love the internet sometimes
Oh hello! I wrote the OED entry for this, and found the earliest known example, which is 1927, in a Mae West play. It's also in A Farewell to Arms (1929); Orwell uses it in the 1930s. These examples are all clear. So, definitely established by the 1920s.

Okay, I’m breaking my promise (sorry) because I forgot one of my favourites, which is a Nigerian way of disparaging someone’s intellect that goes “why are you such a Dundee United?” Dundee has been synonymous with being idiotic ever since Dundee United’s disastrous West African tour in the 1970s.

The most brutal way of telling someone they’re a few sandwiches short of a picnic that I’ve heard in French is t’es pas la truite la plus oxygénée de la rivière. It means “you’re not the most oxygenated trout in the river.”

There is an interaction between white supremacy and patriarchy. A woman of colour can still utilise and exploit white supremacy for their own ideological ends. A black woman saying a campaign led and orchestrated by far right Nazis should be "welcomed" doesn't negate this analysis but reinforces it.
Nigel Farage said that the 'Raise the Colours' campaign was a "grassroots movement driven by ordinary people”.
Kemi Badenoch said they should be "welcomed" as a symbol of "unity"
Now the campaign has pivoted to racially abusing migrants and intimidating charity workers on the beaches of France

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

In my kids majority white primary school they had to deal with a sexually violent messages in WhatsApp group of kids. Pretending that 11 year old white kids don't have a problem is actively dangerous.
This is just utterly disgraceful and dangerous stuff from Badenoch.
It's appalling that the leader of a major party should be engaging in this sort of rhetoric
