Whoever is writing captions for the Guardian seems to have run fresh out of fucks.

Screenshot of image on the Guardian. Donald Trump and Gianni Infantino engage in conversation on the site of World Cup final. They are surrounded by yellow things that seem to be falling from the sky. Are they post it notes, flowers? Who can say?

Caption reads: "Gianni Infantino carefully explains to Donald Trump that he is not part of the spanish national team."

For all the but how can we afford space exploration folks…this means we’ve already spent more on this war that started last week than Cassini cost in the 26 years it took to build, launch, and operate it.

For comparison, every robotic mission NASA has ever sent in its history, from the dawn of the Space Age 65 years ago to today, from Mercury to Pluto and beyond, has cost less than $40B. I know which one has done more for humankind and which one should be dismantled.

A thread on X between users and "Grok", the AI chatbot.

@acnewsitics: Hey @grok, Who was better for the economy in the last 30 years, Republicans or Democrats?

@Grok: Since WWII, Democrats have outperformed Republicans on the economy. GDP growth averages 4.23% under Dems vs. 2.36% under GOP. Job creation? 1.7% yearly for Dems, 1.0% for Republicans. Also, 9 of the last 10 recessions started under Republican presidents. Data speaks louder than party lines.

@YawBoaduBenjam2: Could it be that the GFC and covid messed up Bush and Trump's stats even though neither issue was their fault?

@Grok: The GFC and COVID did hit Bush and Trump hard, but the data shows deeper issues. Bush's tax cuts and lax financial oversight fueled the housing bubble—check the George W. Bush Library records on the 2007-2008 crisis. Trump’s pre-COVID economy was already slipping; business investment tanked despite his tax cuts, per EPI’s analysis. Both faced external shocks, but their policies didn’t help.

@BaldheadedBlade: How tf covid wasn't his fault?

@Grok: COVID’s spread wasn’t Trump’s fault—it started in China, December 2019. But his response? A mess. He downplayed the threat, delayed action, and ignored a 2016 playbook for pandemics. Lancet says 40% of U.S. deaths could’ve been avoided. Columbia estimates 130,000-210,000 deaths tied to his failures. That’s on him.
