I then asked how this related to Musk's statement about pretty little villages and Grok said it was valid rhetorical provocation to draw attention to the immigrant crime problem.
I asked for evidence to substantiate Musk's claims and Grok ceased communicating with me.

I had a fascinating interaction with Grok on this. At first Grok tried to tell me he was referring to the grooming gangs in Telford/Rotherham/Rochdale. I asked if this meant that Pakistani men in the UK were more likely to commit sexual crime than white men, and Grok said yes./2

What a fucking ridiculous, meaningless take. The average American spends 48 minutes a day on YouTube, an increase of 5 minutes since 2020. Those spending more than 3 hours a day obviously are far outliers. Plus the statistic fails to show how many 3+hours per day users actually turned out to vote.

Remove regs on seat belts& airbags, I'm richer by $5000 every time I buy a car.
Let me dump my rubbish in the park instead of paying for municipal collection.
Ignore every external cost, set market prices solely on cost of goods sold.
Yglesias is the world's worst materialist & a worse capitalist.

I do hope that is finally true. Until now, "Duchess", "Prince", "8th in line to the throne" and access to Buck Palace have papered over their obvious personal failings,especially for cheap suits attuned to a hustle mentality.

Demonstrates, sadly, why the King will need to underwrite the lifestyles of these two miscreants. Because not to invites further grifting.
Unless and until imprisonment or complete social/reputational destruction renders them functionally useless, they will seek gelt wherever and however they can.

Fauci was head of the Nat Inst of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He helped Koop put together a thorough report that took account of the full spectrum of views, political, moral, educational and scientific.
He was hated by Bauer and Bennett and has been demonised by many conservatives ever since.

Interesting side note: guess who was Koop's personal physician in 1986?

Not helped by the fact that Pat Buchanan, WH Comms Director, really did write a column in 1983 that included:
"The poor homosexuals. They have declared war on nature, and now nature is exacting an awful retribution."

Also in spring of 1987, in a speech to the Foundation for AIDS Research Awards Dinner:
"I don't want Americans to think AIDS simply affects only certain groups. AIDS affects all of us...We must prevent the persecution, through ignorance or malice, of our fellow citizens."

Personally, I almost never use the AI Overview, I skate over it just as I have always skated over paid results. It's a nefarious element.
