My takeaway from Trump's remarks was not that he was "inviting" Iran to nuke LA, which I genuinely don't think he was, and they can't do anyway. It was that we shouldn't have a president who is so mentally fried that we have to talk about whether he actually invited Iran to nuke LA or not.

Did we cancel D-Day because of a little rough weather? No. Play the damn game.

Readers added context

D-Day was delayed by a day because of the weather

two things can be true at once: I am willing to allow that this tool is pretty neat, like in some ways maybe even gamechangingly neat But I am still 100 percent certain the industry is at the centre of a colossal bubble that's gonna make 2008 look like a fucking cakewalk when it bursts

listen. I had and continue to have an open mind about AI. I've made fantasy football something of a test site though and so far in just the last few months gemini said kyler murray is qb for the cardinals (he isnt) and claude said alvin kamara is playing the bills this week (he isnt)
You're right to push back — good catch, and thank you for flagging it. Two teams can't both play Buffalo in the same week, so I had conflicting data and didn't catch it. Let me verify the Saints' actual Week 4 opponent

For a long time I've wanted a sense of how trump has or hasn't interacted with chatbots (we know he posts a lot of slop sure). And this TIME anecdote about Grok arguably leading Trump into war is just extremely bracing
Since returning to office, Trump has marveled at AI’s capabilities. He is increasingly in thrall to the tech executives courting him. In December 2025, Elon Musk returned to the Oval Office for a clandestine meeting. Trump spent hours asking Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot, questions about his presidency and legacy, according to an official present. At the time, Trump was ordering missile strikes against Venezuelan boats he alleged were smuggling drugs into the U.S. He asked Grok how Venezuelans would react if the U.S. captured Maduro. According to the official present, the chatbot responded that Maduro was a repressive and deeply unpopular dictator and that many Venezuelans would likely celebrate his downfall. After Trump ordered the mission to seize Maduro, the following month, celebrations broke out in the streets. Trump, according to officials, came away thinking Grok was ingenious.

Then the film’s Renée Good stand-in enters, slamming her Subaru into the ICE van. Described with the subtlety of a brick as “MELANIE (40), a fat blue-hair,” the woman, blasting NPR, revs up again and fatally hits ICE agent “Juan” with her car. Then his ICE partner, “Mike,” shoots her in a justifiable killing

One of the cops, an 18-year veteran, ran Flock searches on women he met out in public, then showed up whereever they were to try to do meet-cutes: their gym, a Walmart, a Smoothie King. Said to one woman that "he spilt yogurt on his pants and told her, 'You know what that looks like.'"
As Schultz was leaving, he asked another female employee what her and M.W.’s names were.
M.W. said that after Schultz left, she began receiving text messages from a phone number she
did not recognize. Schultz thanked her for letting him sit in the parking lot. M.W. said he texted
a few more times after that. She did not respond.
After a few months Schultz started going to her gym in Indianapolis, but she did not immediately
recognize him. She said when she was at a school function with her daughter in Greenwood and
Schultz stopped her and re-introduced himself.
She told him it was creepy how he got her number and she said he tried to avoid that
conversation. He said that he had to find her number because he spilt yogurt on his pants and told
her “You know what that looks like”. She said Schultz made her uncomfortable with his actions
and some of the comments that he made.

The next time she was at the gym he came up to her and engaged in conversation. M.W. said
Schultz seemed to be at the gym at same time that she is there. Based on membership scans at the
gym, M.W. and Schultz arrived at the gym within one hour of the other on June 12, 2026; June
15, 2026; June 23, 2026; June 26, 2026; July 9, 2026; July 15, 2026; July 21, 2026; July 25,
2026; and August 1, 2026.

A lot of things make me feel kind of dumb, including how to take at face value the logic of “we are a multibillion dollar transnational industry building a vengeful elder god, and we definitely won’t stop unless you regulate us the way we want, which is a secret.”
