Team Paxton appears to have sent out fake mailers to Texas voters impersonating a trans student group and claiming to want to help kids secretly transition. The actual group said they had nothing to do with it, despite the mailers copying their aesthetic, and the address traces to a random UPS box.

The question that breaks through all of the first amendment issues with grok creating CSAM is not why it does it, it is how. Where did it get training data to create CSAM and who supplied it? Answer that question and the case against its creators gets a lot stronger.

Sometimes people push back when I say that staying on Twitter/X breaks your brain & makes you lose touch with reality. Here's a post from the guy who led product at X when they shipped their "create CSAM" feature, with a reply from a psychotic dude who's been posting about me for 14 years straight.

NEW: Darren Bailey has spent 6 months campaigning out of a donated luxury Chicago apartment that he ILLEGALLY failed to report. Following IL law seems optional for Darren. What other laws does he plan to ignore?

Darren Bailey called Chicago a “hellhole” and wanted to kick it out of Illinois. Now he’s living rent-free in a luxury Chicago apartment, and Illinois voters still don’t know who’s footing the bill. Today, DPI filed a complaint with the Illinois State Board of Elections seeking answers.

These are great signs—with the powerful messaging that we need to see—and they’re free! Grab some!

Here is some great Democratic messaging created by a group of activists that designed signs in red with simple and yet devastating anti-Republican messaging. You can order the signs on-line.

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

Qin Shi Huang wanted history to start with him, so he tried to destroy all documents about the past and killed every historian he could get his hands on. He wasn't exactly successful seeing as I got this info from my historian friend and I assume he comes from a long genetic line of historians.

Take them at their word. Trump banned “the free press.” Logically, it then follows that all remaining press present are not free, but part of the propaganda machine. Treat them as such.

If you buy matches in Denmark you will most likely be buying Tordenskjold matches, named after beloved Norwegian naval hero Peter Tordenskjold (Peter Thundershield) who helped us fight the Swedes. We built statues of him, sang songs about him. Denmark truly had a boner for him.
