I take it all back.
I'd have something to say about the Bears game, but this has been a terrible week. I don't need to be adding anything to it.
Suffice it to say, they stink. And we can take some comfort in knowing their return to form tonight was inevitable.

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.

Congratulations to Miami, but they got lucky playing 2 SEC schools on their way to the title game.
The SEC could only beat their own schools in the playoff. Lost every other game. Weak conference. We should keep these low level conferences out of the playoff...

They expand the football playoffs, and all of the sudden, the SEC can't get in a final.

I mean, Miami's run game has dominated pretty well, right? And they've led the whole game? Why did Miami start going to the pass game exactly?

For the last few months, I kept a document where every time I saw reports of fed immigration agents shooting or pointing their gun at someone, I made a note. The list grew and grew. It now includes 4 deaths. Here is what I noticed keeping that list.

Before ICE Shooting, Immigration Agents Repeatedly Used Deadly Force
The killing of a Minneapolis woman is latest by ICE and Border Patrol officers in recent months. Others have been wounded or threatened with guns.
