apparently Elon's gotten so mad about Grok not answering questions about Afrikaners the way he wants, xAI's now somehow managed to put it into some kind of hyper-Afriforum mode where it thinks every question is about farm murders or the song "Kill the Boer"

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

Not sure how far things are spreading & if it’s getting attention on here but this is what residents of Altadena are facing:
Does this make you feel safe?
While our people are traveling all across LA to pick up & drop off resources, these pigs are standing around with their hands on their guns.

way to go, Liberal Utopia of California. fuck every single one of you who looked at that measure, saw that an affirmative vote is a vote for literal slavery, saw zero organizations arguing against it, and happily filled in that bubble anyway
The recent LA fires shed light on a troubling practice in California: the use of incarcerated individuals to fight wildfires.
This system, which utilizes an exception in the 13th Amendment, raises serious human rights concerns.

Due To “Slavery Clause,” 30% Of LA Fires Are Being Fought By Inmates
30% of those battling the Los Angeles wildfires are Inmates firefighters. There maximum day rate of $10.24 is due to the 13th Amendment's 'Slavery Clause'. Is this fair?

Bluesky really needs a Request to Follow feature. i have like 2 actual followers. so many people just follow every single person interacting with certain big accounts. and you can't even remove a follower without blocking... and when you unblock the follow is *still there* 😒 stop perceiving me!

If you’re wondering whether AFAB people with vaginas get harassed in bathrooms about whether they are in the right bathroom, yes we do. Yes I have been. Yes, last month.
Bathroom rules functionally target anyone who doesn’t fit a specific gender presentation.

We are entering a very stressful time that will feel downright apocalyptic. So it's important to trust whichever social media influencer is best at making you terrified. It's even better if they say that all the terrible things about this world will go away if more people listen to them.

Thank you, McSweeney's, for perfectly capturing the CoinDesk endorsement of Donald Trump I wrote about last night
![Despite all of this, the sometimes decent CoinDesk crypto media outlet has come out with a truly embarrassing endorsement-that-claims-not-to-be-an-endorsement of Donald Trump. (“If CoinDesk were in the business of endorsing political candidates and if crypto were the only issue that mattered, it's pretty clear whom we would back to become the next U.S. president.... [E]ven though we don't endorse candidates, we do endorse Trump's crypto platform, such as is [sic].”) Although they claim to be “troubled” by his racism and “increasingly authoritarian rhetoric” — which they describe as “the antithesis of a crypto movement focused on decentralizing authority and empowering individuals” — the opinion piece by CoinDesk’s editor-in-chief, published on behalf of CoinDesk as a whole, is full of “neverthelesses” and “even thoughs” and “howevers” as he recommends Trump anyway.
