Big Oil spent millions and millions to get Trump elected. They’re getting a great return on their investment.
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

Spoiler for a 39-year-old movie.
One of the great thematic elements of the animated Transformers: The Movie is that the evil Decepticon plan to destroy Autobot City? It's to board an Autobot shuttle to sneak past Autobot City's early-warning sensors.
...
You know, a deception.

"Grok" is not a person. It does not have opinions.
"Elon Musk's "X.com" team decides to post an apology on their GROK AI for it being able to create child porn" would have been a more honest headline.

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

I feel the law should state that a trademark on a public domain character should automatically end.
If only some of the character's appearances are public domain, the trademark should only apply to non-PD uses.
