I hope Elon Musk's biggest and only lasting legacy is that the word "grok" becomes a commonly used word to mean false, artificial, biased or untrustworthy.
As in, "shut up, that's a crock of grok".

From November 2020, when murder hornets were killing the bees in the US
![1 [Title panel] BEE TALK [News-type magazine show, with bees]
2 ANCHOR BEE: Tonight: America Divided
3 Will bees and murder hornets ever find a path to reconciliation?
4 Cheryl?
CHERYL BEE: Well, on the one hand this is partly caused by social media...
5 Algorithms are making us *hyper-aware* of insects who have different values to us, and this is having a polarising effect.
ANCHOR BEE: Mmm.
6 Also the murder hornets want to chew off my head and eat my kids.
7 ANCHOR BEE: Jason?
8 JASON MURDER HORNET: You see, this is what debate has *become* in this country.
9 Bees pretend to be all fuzzy and nice, but they simply *won’t accept* different worldviews!
10 I mean, ultimately we're all the same, right?
You want to buzz around, gather pollen and make honey...
11 I want to chop off your head and legs, gather your thorax and nibble your kids.
12 CHERYL BEE: [GETTING UP]: I’m leaving
JASON MURDER HORNET: Oh she’s *triggered*

People love to say we don't need the BBC, but #TheTraitors shows that there are entire accents - and, by extension, groups of people - that we would never hear on TV otherwise.

My friend Hannah Cox, who I cannot stress enough is NOT A RUNNER, is about to run her 80th marathon in a row. She's crossing India to tell a little-known story about historic injustice* and to raise £1M for orgs fighting the climate crisis.

My very boring 2026 resolution is to report all cold marketing emails as spam if they don't have an unsubscribe link. None of this "just shoot me a reply if you want me to stop emailing you" nonsense. Life is too short.
