I'm not going to repost screenshots from Grok for the same reasons I don't use any LLMs even when they're outputting silly/ amusing synthetic text.

(This image is great for so many purposes. I first saw it posted by @redeyedjedi.bsky.social so I am hoping that's the right credit for its source!)
Batman breaking a rifle in half from a 1986 comic. The rifle has a label "AI (even if you're making fun of it)" and Batman is saying "This is the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it."

We're getting closer
Dear friend, Mr. Trump's coronation last week was a disgrace. As I bowed in protest, I thought to myself "What has become of our nation" Now it's all up to us. Can you spare $5, $10, or even $20 so I can attend the royal feast to continue the fight?

The use of terror is not a byproduct of Trumpian politics: it is central to how he governs.

i think my favorite part about elon musk is through joining up side by side with the far right, he revealed himself to be a completely tasteless loser with absolutely absurd beliefs that doesn’t really care about anything real at all other than ruining peoples lives and power

At some point I might just write “what if everybody is wrong?” because there is a chance I believe nobody bothered to work out if any of this would make a profit or, indeed, whether you’d be able to power the data centers themselves

Amazon just sued one of the largest power companies in Oregon after it failed to power up two data center (one without enough power and one with no power at all) campuses that were meant to be ready *in 2021*. Sure hope this isn't an industry wide problem!

Al Expectation We are reviewing claim #& submitted on 09/28/2025. Our records indicate the claim was filed under diagnosis code F32.9 (Depressive disorder, unspecified), while the corresponding prescription and referral history list treatment for lumbar disc herniation (back pain). Re: Incorrect Diagnosis in Record Hi Thank you for reaching out. We have reviewed your visit documentation and can confirm that the notes in question were generated using our Al scribe system. It appears the Al tool assigned diagnosis code F32.9 (Depressive disorder, unspecified), while your visit notes and treatment plan reference lumbar disc herniation (back pain). Per compliance policy, certain Al-generated fields cannot be manually updated by clinic staff and require vendor correction. We have escalated this to our vendor support team and opened ticket # . We'll notify you once we receive confirmation or correction from the vendor.

Footage captured an ICE GOONS pointing a handgun toward a crowd of protesters in Chicago's Little Village. DHS said the incident followed a drive-by shooting at GOONS that left no reported injuries.

It’s not about being on a high horse it’s about using these moments of frustration and crisis and rupture to help people understand how the system works so they get out of their delusional frame of mind

Things are fine.
Flying at 8000 feet today News Captain says flying at 8000 feet (!) Newark to Savannah today instead of 34000 because of air traffic control restrictions. Everyone has to say seated including flight attendants. Never in my 40 years in flying has this happened … wondering what the view will be 😀

In a chaotic kidnapping raid yesterday, ICE in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood shot a chemical munition into a family’s moving car. The shrapnel from the pepper ball/spray hit a baby. (11/8/2025)

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...
I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.
