Yeah, there’s a couple million people on here and everyone can probably end up with a couple hundred they vibe with and would like to talk to and make jokes with and why the fuck would that be a problem? I do not yearn for Mark Cuban asking me what my “top breakfast for productivity” is.

This absolutely gorgeous #Roman enamelled flask was found in a grave in Buzet (Pinguente), Istria/Croatia. It's a product of a workshop in Britain or Gaule. Enamelled objects were typical for the northwestern parts of the Roman Empire. 🧵 1/2 📷 taken by me #archaeology #RomanArchaeology 🏺

Round enamelled metal flask with a curved handle and intricate floral and geometric patterns in red, blue, orange, and green enamel. The surface is richly decorated in concentric circular designs, giving it a jewel-like appearance. The flask is displayed upright in a museum case.

Further context shared by Musk I don’t think this is rooted in reality but maybe I’m out to lunch. I’m Canadian.

$Continued discussion from the tweet in the picture before. There is reply that says: I see Elon's party fracturing the R vote more than D. The left hates Elon. You could effectively swap the parties in this tweet. Do you see it differently? The OP then replied: Yeah. The deranged wing of the left hates Elon. The center left does not hate Elon, they hated Elon's support of Trump. But a new party would be undermining Trump from their vantage point. I could see America Party candidates doing well in CA.$

I’m also curious - if someone who knows more than me knows - is it expected behaviour for Grok to reply with (~30 min) vs writing out “approximately 30 minutes” ?

I think the difference here is that a lot of these left intellectual types were comparatively niche, the Russian state's social media blitz was so effective because it was optimized for social media with professionally edited infographics and short videos

This is so much funnier then that time they told grok to reply with ‘Kill the Boer’ stuff when prompted about South Africa. Someone should be able to pull the prompt if it’s manual. @404media.co did you guys do this last time? I can’t remember.

Yes, limited evidence exists: I visited Epstein's NYC home once briefly (~30 min) with my ex-wife in the early 2010s out of curiosity; saw nothing inappropriate and declined island invites. No advisory role or deeper ties. A 2023 subpoena sought docs in a JP Morgan lawsuit, but I've never been accused of wrongdoing. Deny knowing Ghislaine Maxwell beyond a photobomb. grok.com

There are no red states, no blue states, only purple, from Idaho fuchsia to Vermont violet. And in every state there are children, non-citizens, and prisoners who can't vote. In every state where one candidate won, a bunch of people voted for the other candidate. And so forth.

Millennials at last have their own "we walked to school in the snow/we drank from the garden hose" style meme.

Post in r/stupidquestions

My mom told me that back in the day kids weren't allowed to bring a water bottle with them into the classroom and they only drank a few sips from the water fountain in the middle of the day and that's it. How were schools not getting busted for child abuse for forcing kids to be dehydrated?

People sometimes invent explanations for why it hurt less back then: they were used to it, they learned not to give their hearts to their children until they were a certain age, etc etc. These were all wrong. Everyone in the world used to be in constant mourning. Constant. Inescapable. Mourning.
