Yeah, there’s a couple million people on here and everyone can probably end up with a couple hundred they vibe with and would like to talk to and make jokes with and why the fuck would that be a problem? I do not yearn for Mark Cuban asking me what my “top breakfast for productivity” is.

Baby!

*places tile over “grok is a nazi” on my 2025 bingo card*

Trump's second TikTok ban letter contains perhaps the most dangerous assertion of unconstitutional executive authority yet executivefunctions.substack.com/p/an-authori... Could set a precedent to literally allow the president to license any illegal conduct he chooses

Trump on Truth social: Any Country aligning themselves with the Anti-American policies of BRICS, will be charged an ADDITIONAL 10% Tariff. There will be no exceptions to this policy. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

This full thread and replies is officially the second funniest thing I’ve seen all day.

When you and your grade school friend get caught doing something naughty but only one of you has a bad home life

YOU'RE LAUGHING AT A TIME LIKE THIS

It’s going to be so funny watching this hit the right-wing media ecosystem.

This absolutely gorgeous #Roman enamelled flask was found in a grave in Buzet (Pinguente), Istria/Croatia. It's a product of a workshop in Britain or Gaule. Enamelled objects were typical for the northwestern parts of the Roman Empire. 🧵 1/2 📷 taken by me #archaeology #RomanArchaeology 🏺

yeah this is at the core of it, you have a bunch of people who are told they’re world-changing visionaries during the day and log on to get dunked to hell by a 22 year old trans puppygirl who is funnier than they’ve ever been in their lives

I'm super busy but here's my weekly reminder that the Authoritarian goal of creating a permanent over-burdened underclass of low-wage workers with no information, education, choice or recourse is moving along, swimmingly.

Keeping me company among the boxes.

Neighbor took down their Trump Won flag after the fourth and replaced it with this sickening shit.

Oh no

Ok some folks said yes so 🧵 (Keeping in mind we spend every single day at the beach and value comfort and essentially make it our living room LOL)

Further context shared by Musk I don’t think this is rooted in reality but maybe I’m out to lunch. I’m Canadian.

"Change your password every (x) weeks" rules inevitably lead to people picking weaker passwords, and slight variations on a basic password over and over.

I’m also curious - if someone who knows more than me knows - is it expected behaviour for Grok to reply with (~30 min) vs writing out “approximately 30 minutes” ?

I think the difference here is that a lot of these left intellectual types were comparatively niche, the Russian state's social media blitz was so effective because it was optimized for social media with professionally edited infographics and short videos

The current iteration of this all goes back to the Russian response to the Revolution of Dignity and you're a rube if you think otherwise

I guess it wasn’t them that got the pre-prompt that I saw, but regardless here’s a great write up of how this can happen (if this is what happened) www.404media.co/why-did-grok...

This is so much funnier then that time they told grok to reply with ‘Kill the Boer’ stuff when prompted about South Africa. Someone should be able to pull the prompt if it’s manual. @404media.co did you guys do this last time? I can’t remember.

I have discovered a planet. A mongoose-like creature lives there and soars through the plains. It is too far, yet near. Would you like to eat a sandwich there?

for some reason grok is responding in first person from elon musks perspective lmfao

Nooooooo lmao you guys

it costs small but nonzero amounts of money to maintain them, and a bunch of them are still activated by DTMF tones over a radio link which means they’re liable to be messed with by random people with VHF radios, leading to headlines like this: www.zdnet.com/article/expe...

And yeah, that's some indirect commentary on the people who suggested the Texas flood victims, many of whom were children, deserved it because their state went for Trump.

More people in California--six million-- voted for Trump than did in Idaho. More Texans--four million-- voted for Kamala Harris than in Vermont and Massachusetts.

There are no red states, no blue states, only purple, from Idaho fuchsia to Vermont violet. And in every state there are children, non-citizens, and prisoners who can't vote. In every state where one candidate won, a bunch of people voted for the other candidate. And so forth.

Fourteen million people are likely going to die as a result of USAID being destroyed. This is not theoretical or a thought experiment - these are human lives that are being thoughtlessly snuffed out. At a bare minimum, I’d like to see others on the left avoid *cheering this atrocity on*.

Millennials at last have their own "we walked to school in the snow/we drank from the garden hose" style meme.

Trump’s megabill will strip 14 million Americans of access to healthcare care. Here’s why our top story today is something a neo-Nazi sent us about a college application from 15 years ago.

I deeply respect Dr. Suzuki and I understand the sentiment — yet I categorically reject that it is too late to do anything about climate change. Every ton of carbon *not* emitted and every fraction of a degree *not* warmed makes a difference. WE NEED MITIGATION AND ADAPTION.

This is unfortunately usually the case after disasters like this. Meteorologists knew and communicated. 🙁

Alert fatigue is a real thing in industry operations too. Many of the worst industrial disasters are due to operators having too many alarms all the time and end up tuning out the important ones

You can't be part of building a new world if you delight in other people's suffering.

I'm amazed at how bizarre this timeline graphic is. Someone actually made this, looked at it, and thought, "yeah, this will do."

The New York Times was more skeptical of the academic qualifications of a black woman who had secured tenure and become the president of Harvard than they were of a white man who washed out of a grad program with a massive scandal and then became a white nationalist troll.

People sometimes invent explanations for why it hurt less back then: they were used to it, they learned not to give their hearts to their children until they were a certain age, etc etc. These were all wrong. Everyone in the world used to be in constant mourning. Constant. Inescapable. Mourning.
