Adam Curry discusses a glitch where the show's AI art generator produced "lewd" images for chapter markers, leading to a parental complaint.

The letter explains that Moluccans were former soldiers in the Dutch East Indies Army who were marginalized by the government after being brought to Europe in 1949.

Rikkie Valerie Kollé, a transgender woman of Moluccan descent, was crowned Miss Netherlands 2023, marking the first time a trans person has won the title. The victory allows Kollé to compete in the Miss Universe pageant.
