All the five defined acts constituting genocide occurred in Australia.

The electoral test for Clacton is over how many voters have a sense of irony and humour. The overwhelming success of Boaty McBoatface in a very serious poll to name a scientific ship to the Antarctic is a testament to British irony. The question is whether the people of Clacton are true Brits.

Apparently, he didn’t say that, but I think his real quote is worth reading:

According to Google's AI, he didn't use the phrase 'disproportionate genocide'. The phrase is a clumsy journalistic contraction of a longer statement.

Google's AI tool suggests Coetzee did not use the phrase "disproportionate genocide." Instead he said that Israel has been conducting a campaign of genocide that is disproportionate to th the events of October.

Also note, "English". If you say United Kingdom, India is no longer the largest group.

I asked Grok what percent of educational institutions in Gaza have been rendered unusable by Israeli bombing. Answer, well over 90%. Over 600,000 children deprived of schooling. Hard not to conclude that an outcome such as this is deliberate policy.

Aid groups banned from Gaza. Everyone out of step but Israel.

I wonder what the mechanics of MO taking over the autopen would be. This is what an autopen looks like. I think the idea is so someone in the office can save the President some time when there are hundreds of signatures needed.

Elon Musk’s Grok confirms this is a genuine post, and to my suggestion it is one of the greatest self-owns of all time, had this to say:

I asked Grok to check your claim against Trump’s public statements and posts. Grok backs you up. This is part of the detailed answer.

I had a quick chat with my pocket adviser, Grok:

It does a very good imitation of thinking. I put the question to Grok.

Niall Ferguson for The Australian’s quotes the definition of genocide below. It seems a close fit with what we observe happening in Gaza. Ferguson, apparently, is not seeing what the rest of us see.

Grok, write me a potentially viral tweet in the style of the Wint account.

Interesting context for why Musk is so interested in the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Thank you Grok for the background.

Painted Buttonquail, Hallett Cove South Australia June this year. Although it looks like a quail, walks like a quail and eats like a quail, lacking a rear toe and a crop it is not a quail and is in fact a closer relative to shore birds such as sandpipers and plovers. #birds
