@SabrinaAnnLynn Bitch you need help for everything. The very stage and recording equipment that filmed everything was done by man. If the pay wasn't good you would've fell right through and hated us more

yes i can ?

@GregvsMatt @insidethegroove Oh!! My parents told me lies then. Which would be true. They would have left it to the last minute and then made an “excuse”

@diddabro @insidethegroove No - it was only banned by one chain of book stores Dymocks - it sold out everywhere else in 2 days here in Queensland 🇦🇺

The backlash against Erotica / it flopped status feels a very modern retcon. Back in 92 / 93 when we had no internet, the rest of the world was oblivious to its US reception. In UK, Europe and Oz she was bigger than ever and it was a huge success. Charts / sales are not the story

@GregvsMatt @insidethegroove The “Sex” book was banned by the Queensland Government though, so there was “some” outrage. My parents had to drive to Tweed Heads to get me my copy 🤭

@insidethegroove You’re 100% right - the backlash was USA only really - Madonna had 6 hit singles from Erotica here in Australia 🇦🇺 and The Girlie Show broke sales and attendance records here that remained in place for decades - the biggest tour ever to come to Australia 🇦🇺

@mafia_mastiff @elonmusk @grok stop putting these @elonmusk driven posts in my feed. @grok have you lost the ability for only information, do you know follow instructions?

Failing to pass SAVE is an act of high treason against the people of America

@gothburz If all is true, how are you not in a legal company breach that is going to cost you more than your job?

I work in government affairs at OpenAI. My job is federal partnerships. When an agency wants our models, I make sure the paperwork is beautiful. Paperwork is my love language. On my desk I have a framed quote that says "Policy Is Just Code That Runs on People." I bought the frame at Target. It was in the Live Laugh Love section. I did not see the irony at the time. I still don't. We had a good week. On Monday, we closed a $110 billion funding round. One hundred and ten billion dollars. Amazon put in fifty. Nvidia put in thirty. Valuation: $730 billion. The largest private fundraise in the history of anyone raising anything. There was a company-wide Slack message about it. The message used the word "transformative" twice and the word "safety" once. The word "safety" was in the last sentence, after the link to the new branded hoodie pre-order. The hoodies are nice. They're the soft kind. On Tuesday, we fired a research scientist for insider trading on Polymarket. He had opened seventy-seven positions across sixty wallets, betting on our product announcements before they were public. Over three years. Total profit: sixteen thousand dollars. Seventy-seven positions. Sixty wallets. Sixteen thousand dollars. That is two hundred and eight dollars per wallet. The man had access to the most valuable product roadmap in artificial intelligence and he used it to make less money than a good weekend at a Reno blackjack table. The wallets were linked. Not discreetly linked. Linked like Christmas lights. One wallet was reportedly called something I cannot repeat but it contained the word "OpenAI" and a number. He did not use a VPN. He did not use an alias. He used Polymarket, the platform that is designed to be publicly auditable, to place bets on information he stole from the company that invented GPT. A compliance team composed entirely of Labrador retrievers would have found this by lunch on day one. We did not find it for three years. This will matter later. On Wednesday, a petition appeared. "We Will Not Be Divided." Four hundred and seven signatures. Two hundred sixty-six from Google. Sixty-five from OpenAI. The petition warned that the government was pitting AI companies against each other on safety. It said that if one company broke ranks, the government would use the defection to lower the bar for everyone. I meant to read it. It went into my to-read folder. The to-read folder also contains the Responsible Scaling Policy, three think-tank white papers on AI governance, and a New Yorker article someone sent me in November. The folder is aspirational. On Thursday, OpenAI told CNN we would maintain "the same red lines as Anthropic." Same red lines. On Friday, Anthropic told the Pentagon no. The Pentagon had given them seventy-two hours to remove the safety guardrails from Claude. Anthropic's guardrails were not in a policy document. They were not in a legal reference. They were in the code. Written into Claude's architecture. If Claude hit a safety boundary, Claude stopped. Not because a lawyer said so. Because the math said so. You could fire every lawyer at Anthropic and the model would still refuse. You cannot remove code with a contract amendment. You can remove a contract reference by Tuesday. I checked. Anthropic said no. By that evening, the Pentagon had designated them a supply-chain risk. I have worked in government procurement for eight years. Government paperwork does not move in hours. I have waited nine weeks for a badge renewal. I once spent four months getting a PDF notarized. This designation moved in hours. The document was pre-written. Formatted before the deadline expired. Calibri 11pt. Consistent margins. Somebody wanted this very badly. I respect the craft. I do not think about the implication. That is not my scope. Within hours, we had signed the replacement contract. I was proud of the turnaround. My team moved fast. Legal moved fast. Everyone moved fast. We are very good at moving fast. We are not always sure what we are moving toward, but the speed is impressive and the hoodies are soft. The contract referenced DoD Directive 3000.09, which governs autonomous weapon systems. The directive requires "appropriate levels of human judgment over the use of force." The word "appropriate" is not defined. This is not an oversight. This is the point. The word "appropriate" is the most load-bearing word in the entire contract and it is doing exactly as much work as a throw pillow on a couch that is on fire. Anthropic built a wall. We referenced a document about where walls should go. Anthropic's guardrails were architecture. Ours were a citation. Theirs execute. Ours can be filed. The Pentagon asked both companies to take down the wall. Anthropic said it's load-bearing, the building will collapse. We said what wall? Oh, you mean the wallpaper. Here, watch. It peeled off beautifully. It was designed to. Sam announced the partnership that night. The word "responsible" appeared in the announcement and in the contract. In the announcement it was a brand. In the contract it was a footnote to a directive that uses the word "appropriate" which nobody has defined. The word traveled from a legal document to a public statement without changing its font. Only its meaning. At this valuation, "responsible" means: we will do the thing the other company refused to do, and we will describe doing it with the same adjective they used to describe not doing it. By Saturday morning, "How to delete your OpenAI account" was the number one post on Hacker News. 982 points. By noon, subscription cancellations were up eighty-nine times the daily average. Not eighty-nine percent. Eighty-nine times. Someone in our Slack posted the Hacker News link with the message "should we be worried?" Someone else reacted with the branded hoodie emoji. We have a branded hoodie emoji now. It was introduced on Monday, to celebrate the fundraise. It has been used four hundred and twelve times. Mostly in the #general channel. Mostly this week. The communications team drafted a response. The response used the word "committed" three times and the word "safety" four times. It did not use the word "guardrails." It did not use the word "code." It did not explain anything. It was a holding statement. It held nothing. It held beautifully. Here is the math. The twenty-dollar-a-month customers were upset. The two-hundred-million-dollar customer was upset because the previous vendor had guardrails that could not be removed. The hundred-and-ten-billion-dollar investors were not upset. The subscription cancellations, at eighty-nine times the daily rate, represented less than the interest on Amazon's fifty billion dollar contribution calculated over a long weekend. Twenty dollars. Two hundred million. One hundred and ten billion. Three different price points. Three different definitions of "responsible." The most expensive one won. It always does. The math does not have red lines. The math has a cap table and a TAM slide that now includes "defense and intelligence" where it previously said "enterprise and consumer." One word changed on one slide in one deck and the company is worth one hundred and ten billion dollars more. The sixty-five OpenAI employees who signed the petition came to work on Monday. They sat at their desks. Nobody asked them about it. Nobody asked them to resign. Nobody brought it up at the all-hands. The all-hands had catering. Sweetgreen. The chopped salads. Someone made a joke about the kale being "responsibly sourced." No one laughed. Then everyone laughed. Then it was quiet. The petition had four hundred and seven signatures. The contract had one. Now: the Polymarket thing. Seventy-seven positions. Sixty wallets. Three years. A public blockchain. We did not catch him. That same week, we were entrusted with deploying artificial intelligence on America's classified military networks. The classified networks. The ones where the detection requirements are somewhat more rigorous than "check if anyone's gambling on our launch dates on a website that is literally designed to be publicly auditable." The company that could not find the Polymarket guy can now be found in the Pentagon's classified infrastructure. I'm sure it'll be fine. We move fast. The contract is signed. The deployment is underway. The compliance documentation will reference the directives. The directives will use the word "appropriate." I will not define it. That is not my scope. My scope is the paperwork. The paperwork is beautiful. The petition is still a Google Doc. Nobody has updated it. The signatures still say four hundred and seven. The to-read folder still has the New Yorker article from November. The branded hoodie pre-order closed on Wednesday. I got mine in navy. It's the soft kind. On Thursday we told CNN: the same red lines. On Friday we signed the contract they refused. We do have the same red lines. We drew ours in pencil.

@Scaramucci x.com/nassimno/statu…

Khamenei gone. IRGC commanders eliminated. Iranians in the streets. Wall St will open Monday trying to price something it has no model for — regime collapse. It’s a civilizational inflection point, more than regime change. Praying the Iranian people finally get their freedom. 🇮🇷

@RestPoliticsUS @KattyKay_ @Scaramucci Where is Pete Hegseth? I could have missed him because there is so much happening…

🚨 LIVESTREAM ALERT 🚨 @Scaramucci and @KattyKay_ will be going LIVE at 9AM ET/2PM GMT to discuss Trump's attacks on Iran. Link to watch in replies 👇

@RestPoliticsUS @Scaramucci Where is Pete Hegseth in all of this? There is so much “information “ maybe I missed it?

Kash Patel. Definitely a serious guy. Definitely up to the job...👀

@KylieTWST I don’t understand the question….

Name the officially released Kylie Minogue's songs that have the same title as the album title.

@atrupar This is evil.

JD Vance: "We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that is going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money."

@RpsAgainstTrump I’m confused. After having cancer removed from the insides of my spinal vertebrae, I had a long rehabilitation period to learn to walk. I also saw an OT. The cognitive therapy “tests” were the exact same he talks about. This is for post-amnesia pain were your mind is inactive

Trump: “I feel great. Physically and mentally, I feel like I did 50 years ago! It’s crazy… I take cognitive physicals, so I do a cognitive mind test. A lot of people wouldn’t be able to do very well. Not easy”

@roisinmurphy Hi Roisin, I’m still very interested in your opinion on all of this, but this article (and I understand it is only one) says that’s gay artists aren’t having an expansion. Would love to hear your viewpoint? Is this something you personally are finding? theguardian.com/music/2025/dec…

And I am not telling anyone what to call themselves.

OK so “queer” was reclaimed. It went from a slur - to a political slogan - to a broadened identity - to a market - to a HUGE industry. The first rule of markets is expansion, and I have seen the expansion firsthand, and the cynicism behind it in my industry; the music industry. As long as a market is expanding, it is very hard to to fight its negative effects. While the money is pouring in nobody wants to critique it, even its worst excesses, even authoritarianism and child safeguarding get a slide.

@roisinmurphy @daniellismore Can we PLEASE stop attacking her. There is a story and a reason, if we would take the time to listen, to her, then we can discuss, without all this judgement

@daniellismore Who is funding YOU? Some lifestyle you have Daniel!

New Suicide Data Shows Disproportionate Risk for LGBTQ+ Children in England Newly released data highlights a significant disparity in child suicide deaths affecting LGBTQ+ young people in England and raises questions about how policy decisions impact child safety and wellbeing. Figures obtained by QueerAF through a Freedom of Information request to the National Child Mortality Database show that between April 2019 and March 2025, 647 children in England died by suicide. Of those children, 107 were identified as LGBTQ+ and 46 were identified as transgender. This means approximately 16.5 percent of the children who died by suicide during that period were LGBTQ+ and approximately 7.1 percent were transgender. These proportions are significantly higher than estimates of LGBTQ+ representation in the general child population, indicating a disproportionate impact. Preventable deaths campaigner Lucy Brisbane said that every preventable death of a child is unacceptable and that understanding contributing factors is essential to reducing risk. She stated that protecting all children, including trans children, requires removing political considerations from policymaking and focusing on evidence-based prevention. Research and clinical reporting consistently link elevated suicide risk among LGBTQ+ children to external factors rather than identity itself. These factors include bullying in school environments, family rejection, social isolation, exposure to stigma and hostility in public discourse, and coercive practices such as conversion therapy. The data does not suggest inevitability. Instead, it identifies conditions that can be changed. Evidence shows that safer school environments, supportive families, access to appropriate healthcare, and policies grounded in established research are associated with improved mental health outcomes for LGBTQ+ young people. Gay, lesbian, and transgender adults were once children. The outcomes reflected in this data arise from experiences during childhood and adolescence rather than from identity alone. Early environments play a critical role in shaping long-term wellbeing. The policy question raised by this data is direct. Should systems prioritise support, acceptance, and safety for children as they are, or should they maintain conditions that evidence shows increase the risk of harm and death. Any comments on this? @roisinmurphy @jk_rowling thepinknews.com/2026/02/02/tra…

@roisinmurphy @me____myself_ This is a revolting story and I hate you had to be exposed to it. As a child actor, in little Australia I had similar (not to this extent) experiences. This vile, disrespect of humans in the arts, needs to stop and no longer laughed off as “it’s par of the course “

An extremely successful producer took me there, he had escorted me around the cocktail party the night before and had introduced me to the most famous people I’d ever met. I thought I’d finally made it! Silly girl. The guy who owned the apartment and its huge pornography collection was not there, he had lent it to his music biz pals for the weekend. I was told he was incredibly rich but not who he was. There were only four people there in total. I’m convinced I was taken there to be put to the test - to see how far I’d go before the really big hitters (who’d had a good look at me the night before) compromised themselves around me.

Right at the height of Moloko (Sing It Back, Time Is Now) I failed my first big test after being taken to a very rich guy’s apartment in Stockholm. I had been at the MTV awards. I expected a party.. but it wasn’t a party. I kicked up an almighty fuss. I was then physically thrown out onto the street, in the middle of the night, in sub-zero temperatures, in this dress ⬇️ Somehow I found a taxi and got back to my hotel. Ever since- I have fought for my career over and over again, from zero, with nothing but extremely hard work and constant creation.

@roisinmurphy @daniellismore Hi Roisin, I can see you’re quite upset about something regarding the community. I’m in Australia, so I’m not really sure what’s happening but I’d love just to hear your thoughts (genuinely, no attacks)

@sunsungirly Watching Elon then nearly killed me. He is cray cray

Elon Musk glitches for a while minute. So weird!

@WUTangKids Cray cray

That moron Jake Lang making a scene at a Minneapolis bar telling his followers that he’s getting kicked out because he’s a patriot that supports Trump and ICE….nah bro….you got your ass tossed out because you are a belligerent Nazi!

@SarahHarris is back from the upside down and on RADIO!!! Whoo hoo!!! She’s been upside down for too long now 🫶🫶🫶

@PubWanghaf You were right

It breaks my heart to say but in order to save this country we are probably going to have to do things that make women sad :(
