Assuming he doesn't realise the gigs up and burn the whole world down with nukes rather than face dying alone in a cell.

Trump suddenly dropping dead of old age before he can issue any pardons for the whole of his guilty administration?

Story says they will comply, not currently complying. Even then the deep fake image gen and app access issue isn't part of UK law - yet.
Assume these new restrictions only affect access via the UK, so pervert mode remains unchanged for US Grok users?

Like Christopher Guest? does it also come with a hereditary peerage so you can sit in the house of lords?

For the big films, a family outing it'd be the Odeon in Bradford. For everything else, especially birthday party cinema parties - which was a thing. The ABC cinema in Leeds.

What safeguards does bluesky have against bot campaigns & disinformation? As it grows it becomes more of a target. Especially if regions shutter access to X.

It's of little comfort, but to irony bros its not personal. To them it's just content. It's a game, if you get offended, they own you, they won. Whoever is brave enough to post the most appalling thing first gets all the kudos. That and bots & engagement farming, if it bleeds it leads.

It was the idea of hell that lead me to drop my faith. That and a week long detention outside headmasters office every break at primary school. I was so bored, I read some of the books he had on display for parents. One was set on Roman, Norse & Egyptian gods & beliefs got me thinking on fairness.

I was thinking the other day that's a lot of blood on a very old guys hands. There's not much by way of waivers, exceptions or small print in the ten commandments.

I remember the whine it made as it slowly came to life and my head was resting on the screen and I remember watching all the little cells that made up the screen light up red & black. That and a huge sense of self satisfaction.

Some time in the 70s. Remember being in my pushchair and was wheeled in and left in the living room while mum went into the kitchen. I wriggled out of the bottom of the chair, pulled myself up on the coffee table and turned on the TV, might very well have been for the first time.

Any post they make on X immediately becomes a dogpile of defundthebbc nutters and Jimmy Saville and Huw Edwards side swipes anyway. If its fighting disinformation, its failing.

"academy should avoid making judgments about the character of fellows". Makes me wonder what kind of heinous shit those other fellows must be getting up to?

I suspect the only thing with less chance of success than a ban would be something like regime change, they always backfire. Doing so will hand the right a huge freedom of speech, state censorship stick to beat the government with. Its a trap.

I think she said share and there's a big difference between the prize and the medal. Why not let him have the medal, if that's all it'll take to buy a seat at the table.

I'm wondering where is all the Musk bluster. They guy who'd message Starmer directly. Why isn't he threatening to cut the UK off like he did with Brazil in 2024? Far easier to suck up to Trump and play the victim card when the UK bans it for him?

Does turning off Grok image generation meet Offcoms low bar enforcement of the Online safety act? To date they only seem to have actioned age checks. Which x.com does have and making it premium only feature doubly enforces.
