Elon Musk's X AI Grok has created a rival to Wikipedia, called Grokipedia. Naturally, the kinds of source it relies on conform to the far right views of Musk, citing Infowars as a reliable source. X, Grok, and Grokipedia should be shunned by all reasonable people.

When the median homebuyer is nearing retirement, you don’t have a housing market. You have a crisis.
The median age of all U.S. homebuyers is now 59 years old.

Just 15 years ago, it was 39 years old.

The Russian-backed government of Serbia under pressure tonight as massive protests fill the center of Belgrade.

It seems that only the US hasn't gotten the note that Russian-backed fascism just isn't cool anymore.

This is a key constituent of fascism & the very essence of ‘Muskism’: promoting bullshit, silencing truth-tellers & calling the whole grift ‘free speech’. Twitter as a rehearsal for the USA.
Trump has vowed to crack down on universities involved in misinformation research, or what he dubs the "censorship cartel" - e.g. by curbing funds to those that have "flagged content for removal”, or legal threats

“I'm pretty fucking scared," one professor tells me.

Today, November 25th 2024 is the day we officially learned that justice in America, in fact, does NOT matter. #sad
The moral of the story, kids: It’s fine to try to stop the peaceful transfer of power and incite a mob to storm the Capitol and do all you can to overturn an election as long as you run again and win 🇺🇸

Turns out Nancy Mace hired a legislative director who drunkenly broke into a woman's home and passed out in her bed. She called the cops and had him arrested when she came home and found him.

So much for protecting women.

So let me get this straight.

If you apply for a job at a grocery store, you have to undergo a background check.

But, if you apply to be Director of National Intelligence, you don't?

Got it.

And just like that, Donald Trump gets away with his insurrection. Something that would have never happened in any other democratic country on earth. Astonishing.
The January 6th case against Donald Trump is dismissed without prejudice by Judge Chutkan.
