Word of the day is ‘Podsnappian’ (from Charles Dickens): blinkered, self-congratulatory, and convinced that everyone else should see things the way you do.



Isn't it amazing that hackers are so good these days that their denial of service attack on X managed to leave the site working fine for everything apart from Elon's chat? That's some niche skills right there 🙄

“The rest of X appears to be working normally, however, and a source at the company confirmed to The Verge that there wasn’t actually a denial-of-service attack. Another X staffer said there was a “99 percent” chance Elon was lying about an attack.” theverge.com/2024/8/12/2421…



Fun fact: X approves 83% of censorship requests in full, and a further 15.8% in part.

Freedom of speech is the bedrock of democracy. If the truth is suppressed, it is impossible to make an informed voting decision. The degree to which freedom of speech is being undermined around the world is extremely alarming.



I was waiting for the "it's nothing to do with us" explanation, so what does the article say about using a tracking pixel before getting consent? The "site was made using a template that included it... [the] website also uses a third-party tool for managing cookie consent" 🤔

Worth reviewing your settings if you don't want Elon to use your tweets to train his crap AI bot

X’s AI training has been stopped in Europe by the Irish data regulator. Elon's X had forcibly opted EU citizens in to training Grok AI without asking permission. Yet, many users have reported that X has NOT turned off the data collection for their account by default.

I’m the guy JD Vance sent the “America’s Hitler” text to in 2016. He was my roommate in law school. Obviously he’s a sellout, but the bigger deal is he’s angry and vindictive. The perfect fit for Trump’s revenge. JD’s rise is a triumph for angry jerks everywhere.

We know the England team losing the #EURO2024 is the worst outcome for some, for others however it's the reality of waiting for their partner to come home. Football doesn't cause #DomesticAbuse, abusers do. Share our helpline so women know they are not alone 👇🏼👇🏿
