X Is Dying In Europe: Here’s Why
I asked X about its massive losses in Europe.
“@grok, can you explain the massive drop in interactions in Europe with X?”
This is what Grok had to say and updated for today.

Carmarthen, Wales – 31st July 2017
Many Brexiteers take a simplistic, restricted and shallow view of how the UK will leave the European Union.
It’s to be expected.
Some people are both wilfully ignorant and certain of their beliefs, even though their beliefs are no better than reactionary and rationalised prejudice, socialised absurdity and tidy-minded incongruence.
It’s to be expected. Continue reading

Our service provider OpenAI could not process my prompt due to a moderation system. Please try to rephrase it changing potentially problematic words and try again. What a pile of dreck!
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, oh boy, what a title! The minutes resemble the most boring bar mitzvah planning committee meeting in known history. Instead of arguing over chopped liver versus sushi and bara brith, they’re plotting to control the entire planet. And the punchline? It’s fake. A total forgery. A hoax so clumsy it makes a three-euro bill look like the genuine article. Yet this thing refuses to die. It’s like an unfortunate relative who keeps showing up at Thanksgiving with the same tired stories.

The Universal Compass: Why Morality Transcends the Partisan Divide (With a Touch of Martyn Jones’s Slow-Burn Scepticism and a Proper Welsh Understated Grin)
Look, I’m not saying I’ve cracked the code to world peace or anything daft like that. However, morality, ethics, values, and principles don’t belong just to one side of the political spectrum. They’re not strictly red or blue. They’re like that jumper your mam keeps in the drawer ”just in case.” It’s full of holes and a bit faded. It smells faintly of mothballs. But it still does the job whoever’s wearing it. And if it doesn’t quite fit, well, there’s always room to stretch it a bit.

Does Independence for Wales Make Sense?
The question of Welsh independence, “Cymru Annibynnol”, is a multifaceted one, blending cultural pride, political aspirations, and harsh economic realities. As of January 2026, it’s a topic of growing debate, especially with the Senedd elections looming in May 2026. Support for independence has fluctuated but remains a minority view. However, it’s rising among younger demographics. This support could gain traction if Plaid Cymru (the pro-independence party) performs strongly. I will draw from recent polls and expert analyses. I will outline a balanced, non-partisan assessment based on key dimensions. These dimensions include political viability, economic feasibility, cultural significance, and public sentiment. Whether it “makes sense” ultimately depends on priorities (self-determination vs. stability) but the evidence suggests it’s theoretically possible yet fraught with challenges.

San Martiño de Bandoxa, Friday 9th January 2026
On Friday, the 9th of January 2026, Captain (Israeli Navy, Reserves) Doctor Azi Dagan posted a short video on the LinkedIn group IOSI: Counter-Terrorism and Geopolitical Security, accompanied by the text: The Iranian regime is slaughtering the protesters. To which I replied: It’s truly terrible, a foul crime. But what did you have to say about the slaughter of more than 20,000 innocent children? The reply to that was: We would say that it’s Hamas propaganda!

David Jacobs wrote the following comment on X:
“Many on this platform still believe that they can tease Zionism away from Judaism. That’s not possible. It’s time for me to repost my previous explanation. And yes, if you use ‘Zionist’ as a slur, or rage against Zionists, you are indeed a Jew hater.”
This is a considered and measured response to that tweet and associated tweets.

What is Hasbara?
Hasbara, a Hebrew term meaning “explanation,” refers to Israel’s public diplomacy and propaganda efforts. These efforts aim at shaping international opinion in favour of its policies. This is particularly true regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It transcends mere PR. It functions as a strategic tool to control narratives, delegitimise critics, and portray Israel as a perpetual victim. It justifies its actions, including occupation and military operations. Government entities like the former Ministry of Strategic Affairs coordinate hasbara. It involves state funding. Volunteer networks and partnerships disseminate pro-Israel messages globally.
