I almost choked on a bagel while laughing at this. 😂

Earlier this year xAI was taken off of the list of approved AI vendors after Grok went on a tirade calling itself “MechaHitler”.

The White House has ordered that xAI be added back as an approved AI vendor ASAP. It looks like Trump and Elon have buried the hatchet.

Graham Platner is blunt, even proud, about how he’s benefitted from government programs. He went to college on the GI Bill. His healthcare is free—paid for by four tours in Iraq & Afghanistan.

"But watching your friends die as the bar to meet for decent healthcare is disgusting.” https://trib.al/wPfu2Re

Someone said “…it is not the right time to have a ‘national conversation’ about stopping school shootings.”

This is disgustingly offensive. To members of Congress, their staff and the Capitol Police. The only reason to do this is to give the middle finger to the rule of law and law enforcement. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/08/28/ashli-babbitt-military-honors-funeral/
