reminiscing about trip to Spain with the family a few years back. no particular reason except GO SPAIN 🇪🇸
just uncovered evidence revealing why our kitty had uncontrollable zoomies yesterday evening. she’s a born goalkeeper, we should have known she had a favorite — make that favourite — team!
But the company name! That’s a spark of absolute cosmic perfection in this insane and infuriating story
It’s World Ocean Day. 🌊 Bliss-inducing, mysterious, enchanting — and at risk. If you have a chance to do a thing to help rebalance our ocean ecosystems’ chances of survival, please do it, and feel really good about it. 🪸 Thank you. 🙏 #worldoceanday
Seeing Florence + the Machine live last night was the antidote to everything that I didn’t know I needed. She radiates grace, power, and incredible talent. Volume up for a little hit. ✨ ‘It’s always darkest before the dawn’

AI has no business trying to take over the creative arts — we humans can do just fine with that, thanks — but based on this exchange I just spied on the other platform, there does seem to be an impish sense of humor at play. Better than G’s other, nefarious personas of late!
just took a peek at that other platform. saw this guy asking Grok if someone’s points about how the bill is terrible are true…it basically said yes. this guy then asked it about Democratic presidents’ bills…and here’s Grok’s reply. kind of satisfying, in a vast and hollow way
Will sleep better tonight knowing Bobby is on top of things with that tiny round tummy and those wide, menacing paws
Pleased to see that the headline and subhead of this story do not sugarcoat
They’re doing everything they can to stop the judges. There was this sly and ominous addition to the House Budget Resolution that not enough media are talking about (this screenshot is from a roundup piece by NYT)
