I hear Grok has no sycophantism EXCEPT when it comes to Elon, so I asked - could Elon come back from the dead?
Summary:
•He's NOT - fake news!
•Addmitedly no, no one can.
•But if anyone Could it'd be Elon he's on the cutting edge of tech.
neuralink, cryonics, bionics, AI etc.

The people of the 8 prior worlds are gone—scattered, disappeared, or transcended. But their works remain. Some call them magic, others technology, but the wise know these are our legacy. They are our future. They are... the numenera.

For real? The Epstein files that didn't exist, THOSE ones? Why the change of heart? I smell a rat.
I'm tempted just to hit cancel and see how this plays out.

"There's a inflation problem of less labour supply, cos immigration's been cut. NOT that that's a BAD thing. Just a ...fact that less immigration means less workers, therefore more inflation"

Oh no, a 2nd assylum seeker accidentally released from prison on the run, while the BBC uncovers a criminal shop chain staffed by migrants selling smuggled fake cigarettes to 12 year olds. <sigh>
At least we'll know what the conversation from anyone right of Conservative will be talking about.

Disney's 'feast' is the purest cut of emotional story telling they've ever put out. ~8 minutes long, barely any dialogue, subtle use of background/foreground and highlights and a protagonist who gains so much and despite temptation is ready to give it all up for his nearest and dearest.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.
I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.
Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”
