this is about AI, but it's pretty much how I feel about centrists when they point at fascists and say "better vote for us or they'll do the thing"
the only thing i like less than people doing shitty things, is people doing shitty things and pretending that they aren't

In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼

No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature
X’s sexual deepfake machine is still running, despite Grok saying otherwise.

If this happened to a conservative organizer, Republicans would make her a hero, a household name and a congressional candidate.

Even Trump says it was a kidnapping. But the BBC says its journalists can’t call it that? Come on.
Q: Rodriguez called it a 'kidnapping' of Maduro
TRUMP: That's alright. That's not a bad term.

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel.

the more explicit nazis are fucking things up for the less explicit nazis, and so the less explicit nazis are trying to differentiate to protect themselves politically. it's really funny cause they're all basically nazis.
I can no longer follow the plot of this show. I suspect the writers and actors can’t either. I don’t think they have a show runner.

Just terrific from Dave Milner in The Shot. Seriously, this guy is so far ahead of what passes for political journalism in the 'BIG' media outlets it's not funny. Read this, not their crap, and see the difference. @davemilbo.bsky.social @theshot.net.au
On doing the same inadequate shit over and over again until the end of democracy - The Shot
The consequence of not good enough, as evidenced in the United States right now, is that you inevitably get much, much worse.
