If someone built a tool allowing strangers to create sexualised images of children, we would shut it down immediately.

So why is the government treating X and Grok with kid gloves when their products are causing so much harm?

The emperor was sitting in his bed when the assassin came in through the window.

"Welcome, old friend."

"Wait," the assassin wheezed.

The emperor waited for him to catch his breath.

"I'm too old for this," the assassin said at last.

May all who need a miracle be blessed.

May all those feeling unwell and fragile be given strength.

May all those who have heavy burdens have their loads lightened.

May all those who have worry find peace.

May your Yule be filled with happiness, joy and love.

The sigil was drawn in salt and ash, the candles lit at the pentagram points, the incantation declaimed.

There was a shimmer - a demon appeared.

"Curious. What ritual is this?"

"I got it from ChatGPT. I included all protections in my prompt!"

"I see," the demon said and stepped out of the sigil.

The dragon was curled up on its hoard.

A knight approached, unarmed and unhelmed.

"Greetings! I have a question about your hoard."

"If you try to steal it I will kill you."

"May I move it? With you still on it?"

The tiny dragon firmly gripped the golden tiara it laid on. "Carry it with pride."

This has got to be made. A tiara with a dragon on it. Wear with pride!

Better, a tiara with an animatronic dragon on it!

"Which of your many accomplishments are you most proud of?"

The idea that once your body is done growing, so is your mind.

"Wait, when is our minds done growing?"

You were never meant to be done growing, learning, examining. But you could be persuaded to give it up.

The witch made him hot chocolate.

"They say I'm strong," he said. "And I am."

He took a sip.

"They say I can overcome any hardship."

"Mm," said the witch.

"And I can. I do."

The witch said nothing.

"But I shouldn't have to!"

"No."

The witch held the hero as he wept.

"No, you shouldn't."

A four panel DOWNSIDE comic strip. In panel one, an incredulous Santa Claus says to Joey, a bottle blond man in a brown shirt: "Presents? HA! I've SEEN your browser history!" 

In panel two, Joey argues to Santa, saying "Oh, it's not THAT bad."

In panel three, Santa and Joey react to an off-panel speaker saying "Uh..."

In panel four, the speaker is revealed to be the Devil, sitting at a desk with Joey's laptop, looking horrified. The Devil says: "You need to delete this."
