Profiling the American Secretary of War for the New Yorker was a genuinely humbling experience. Hard to believe this is my job sometimes.

I thought this was a joke but it’s an actual post from the White House: “we are ending the war on protein”

How about ending the war on the health of this country?

Morning all, wrap your Monday morning ears around this!
Your commute, but with a scientist and a Bear quietly dismantling nonsense in your ear.

New podcast episode discussing Minneapolis and the possible banning of X.

Surprisingly soothing and only a slight mauling of the English language by a South African that sounds a bit Aussie.

You have to understand that they do not and will not ever play ‘fair’. They will distort reality in whatever way suits them. Their side are martyrs and anyone else killed by their thugs is just collateral.

Good grief.
In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼

No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature
X’s sexual deepfake machine is still running, despite Grok saying otherwise.

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.
