Grok:

  • The post shares a satirical split-screen video of a man declaring plans to fly to LA and “illegally vote” for reality TV star Spencer Pratt as mayor, highlighting California’s lax voter ID rules with the line “What they going to do, ID me?”
  • It mocks LA Mayor Karen Bass by sarcastically equating potential ID requirements to “Jim Crow 2.0,” using the viral meme to amplify calls for stricter election verification amid ongoing debates over non-resident and ineligible voting.
  • The author pushes the SAVE America Act as essential common-sense reform, framing the troll campaign as a way to expose vulnerabilities in local election processes and support Spencer Pratt’s symbolic challenge.

That electricity playset isn’t going to work very well because the kid would need to be grounded and only insert the fork into the hot pole of the socket. There are just too many ways for this to fail.

A better toy would include two forks and directions to stick one into each slot while holding one fork in each hand. For even more fun, moisten both hands before playing. Dry hands would probably not conduct well enough.

Popular media like yellow print - and FUD supports the regulatory capture strategy of the big AI labs while also providing free PR.

Let me stop you right there. The legacy media is not a source of news, much less of truth.

Isn’t it a shame that there really isn’t an unbiased source of what’s happening in the world today?

I used to swear by Fox news, then I got disenchanted with them. Hungry for information, as anyone with a mind is, I do a quick look at several news outlets. This was the only thing I thought noteworthy in there today, (somewhat related to your comment; Isn’t AI wonderful? ), and I did provide a second source.

This source did not name Grok. I wonder if that’s significant.
