Pro tip: If you are attending a crowded event in winter, wearing a well-fitting mask like an N95 can serve double duty by keeping your face warm and keeping viruses away.

Elon Musk's accomplishments over the last year include starving thousands of people to death (and laughing about it) and creating Hitler AI that undresses children (and laughing about it). Is it time to do something about billionaires yet?

The closest comparison for the Grok thing we can imagine right now is if cereal made a bunch of people ill and the news put a microphone in front of some cereal boxes at the grocery store and was like “well they didn’t admit guilt, not sure who else we can ask”

Make masks FIT and FREE! As we experience a record breaking flu surge and the ongoing effects of COVID, now would be a great time to ramp up efforts to make high quality N95 masks free and widely available. Really wish free mask distribution was a regular feature of progressive events for example.

Musk and his company built Grok with this capability. It didn't happen accidentally, like a hurricane assembling a Boeing 747 from a garbage dump. Then users uploaded images with prompts for Grok telling it what to do, resulting in the offending images. They won't stop it from doing so again.

Imagine if the US didn't have a 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles. That's why you hardly see any of them here. BYD cars are being sold for as low as $20K, while being safer and better than any Tesla. All of this was set up in 2021 to protect Elon Musk's EV monopoly in the US.

A portion of Nick Patterson's skeletal remains, finally recovered years after he went missing, were lost again by officials during his missing person investigation. The stunning error has complicated the Pit River Tribe's grieving process and led to suggestions for policy changes.
