So the former comedy writer who was so clear-eyed about Bloody Sunday is now supporting Vance's take on the government shooting unarmed protestors? Interesting.

I guess my question for the state is, yes, they've cut you off from the physical evidence. But is videos from three different angles and many eye witnesses not enough to go ahead and charge the guy anyway?
It’s wild that they’re going to do a cover-up of a murder that the whole world saw play out on video, but that’s America for ya.

You might have thought that one of the largest broadcasting organisations having a presence on a platform which creates and shares lies and child porn both legitimises, and delivers audiences to, that business and probably shouldn't be doing that.

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?
Previously, several of these companies, like Apple, IBM, and Disney, have paused advertising on X in response to antisemitic content. But antisemitism on X never slowed, sexual abuse imagery increased, and all of these companies quietly resumed advertising anyways.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

I used to get my checked bags searched every single time I flew, they leave a little card saying they’ve done it, so finally I put a note in my bag asking why and they wrote on the card that carrying so many books on a flight is usually how people hide illegal amounts of cash
Bag got pulled by security at the airport so I told him before he opened it that I was carrying medicinal cannabis. 'Yeah, not bothered about that, it's your toothpaste' 🤪

One reason I feel like I'm going mad is, even if Musk did immediately halt Grok and issue a grovelling apology - rather than PAYWALLING IT - he should *still* be prosecuted and his website banned. Very obviously! You don't get out of CSAM charges by just stopping. AND HE STILL HASN'T STOPPED.

Back in the earliest days of RCS I'd occasionally post screens from Japanese commercials (like, maybe ten times total). Anyway, while going through the archive I ran across these screens from some Japanese Cup Ramen commercials with James Brown that I figured are too good to not post one more time.

So I've just had one of those "Hi this is Jackie I'm looking for a relationship" scammy emails. That's not unusual.
Gmail, however, suggesting I reply either "here is my number" or "where are you from?" instead of just "delete", is something new. And spectacularly stupid.
