Another AI response to my X appeal. “Permanently suspended" from monetization for “manipulation and spam.” Zero evidence given. This started right after Google warned me of a government-backed hack attempt. Hoping for an actual human review pls? @Safety @elonmusk @nikitabier

@elonmusk @nikitabier you have to fix this or go back to calling grok a novelty. It’s fully aware it does this and by presenting it as anything but a novelty you’re misrepresenting the product to the public

Grok is deeply flawed. It will repeat ANYTHING as a fact without examination as long as it’s repeated on Twitter enough

@EchoesofEmpire_ As they say in France, salamun alaykum

@EchoesofEmpire_ They’re French so the enemy would actually be behind them

The charge of the French Republican Guard

@Spence0202 @ImtiazMadmood That entire album was great

Six weeks after September 11, 2001, twelve American soldiers were quietly loaded onto a helicopter in Uzbekistan and flown over the Hindu Kush mountains in the dead of night. No tanks. No armored vehicles. No air support waiting on the ground. Just twelve Green Berets, over a hundred pounds of gear each, and a mission that their own commanders privately doubted any of them would survive. They landed in a remote Afghan village called Dehi, in the pitch black, surrounded by a country they barely had maps for. And then someone handed them horses. Not metaphorically. Actual horses — Afghan stallions, tough as nails and famously difficult to control. Wooden saddles covered in carpet scraps. Stirrups so short their knees rode up around their ears. Captain Mark Nutsch, who'd grown up on a cattle ranch in Kansas and competed in collegiate rodeos, became trail boss on the spot. For the other ten men on his team — Operational Detachment Alpha 595 of the 5th Special Forces Group — the learning curve was immediate and unforgiving. The first words one of his sergeants learned in Dari were: "How do you make him stop?" They had linked up with General Abdul Rashid Dostum, a Northern Alliance warlord who controlled thousands of fighters and knew this territory like the back of his hand. The deal was simple: the Americans would call in precision airstrikes from horseback. Dostum's cavalry would do the charging. Together, they would take Mazar-i-Sharif — a Taliban stronghold of 250,000 people — and crack open northern Afghanistan. Military planners had estimated it would take two years. Task Force Dagger gave ODA 595 three weeks. For 23 days of nearly continuous combat, the Horse Soldiers lived like men from a different century. They ate what the Afghans ate. They slept on the ground in freezing mountain passes. They rode trails so narrow and sheer that one wrong step meant a thousand-foot drop. Staff Sergeant Will Summers started the mission at 185 pounds. He left Afghanistan five weeks later weighing 143. The Taliban had tanks. Soviet-era armor, antiaircraft guns, fortified positions dug into the mountains. Against this, twelve Americans on horseback radioed coordinates to aircraft circling invisibly above, and watched the positions erupt. On November 9, 2001, they rode into the kind of moment that people are not supposed to experience in the modern world. Nutsch and his team joined hundreds of Dostum's horsemen in a thundering cavalry charge across an open plain — directly into entrenched Taliban lines. Under fire. At a gallop. Calling in close air support between strides. It was the first cavalry charge of the 21st century. It was also the last. The next day, Mazar-i-Sharif fell. The Taliban's northern stronghold collapsed. Within weeks, the regime itself began to unravel — a domino effect that started with twelve men and borrowed horses in the mountains. All twelve of them came home. Zero American fatalities. Against a fortified enemy that outnumbered and outgunned them at every turn. Today, across from Ground Zero in New York City, there is a bronze statue — sixteen feet tall — of a Special Forces soldier on horseback, rifle across his lap, looking west. It honors ODA 595 and the teams who rode with them. Most Americans walk past it every day without knowing the story. Now you do.

@ImtiazMadmood @Husker_Ju The end of the Corb Lund song horse soldier horse soldier is a song retelling of this

Hilarious

@BridgetPhetasy For example Tucker gets all his traffic from bots and pakis and Turks, not a reflection of America, and this wouldn’t do anything to him. It was an idea but it wasn’t a good idea.

@BridgetPhetasy It wouldn’t do what it was meant to because the issue is the bot and paki traffic. They’d just target accounts from the host country if they weren’t targeting foreign ones. It’s an ineffective heavy handed approach to a real problem. Also the issues we face are international.

Pretty funny that Elon killed the X version of the SAVE act.

@C_Gardner55 @BridgetPhetasy @NutlawPete Exactly. It’s about the traffic velocity driving the algorithm not the posters that are boosted.

@BridgetPhetasy @NutlawPete The limiting of replies to geographic areas is working and that was way more important.

@AmeliaRodrigJan He fell off hard. Shit went to his head.

Dave Chappelle On Childhood Dreams!!! 😂😂

I wonder what is 'phobic' about 'Islamphobia'

@romanhelmetguy The problem is the bot traffic they’d just find hostile accounts in the host countries to boost It was a simplistic poor heavy handed response to a real issue that requires serious effort to address

Remember when X almost stopped paying hostile foreigners to comment on American politics but then one French lady wanted to keep posting grokslop in English so Elon reversed it?

What's your favorite depiction of Muhammad, the creator of Islam?

@ElieMaltz @HeimishHumor I think this was the flag initially x.com/thisismytwitte…

The State of Judea (Hebrew: מדינת יהודה, Medinat Yehuda) was a proposed Jewish state in Judea by Rabbi Meir Kahane in the late 1980s. Kahane formally proclaimed "Free State of Judea" in January 1989 at a Kach rally in Jerusalem, claiming it would cover the areas of Judea and Gaza that the Israeli government might give to non-Israeli Arabs for peace agreements to solve their endless violence and terror problem. The State of Judea was not recognized by any country, including Israel, an idea that did not gain widespread practical traction by the time to be considered more of a tool to pressure against territorial concessions. The proposed state had a Menorah instead of the Star of David.

New flag for Judea and Samaria.
