Secondly, half the reason everybody says it is to piss off Vice-President Trump First Lady Musk.

Fixed it for you. Trump doesn't even have the prestige or influence of a vice president (and that alone speaks volumes) in this situation.

Edit: no offense meant to women/trans folks.

This is a genius move to keep you from Google search

Seems more like a genius move to get slapped with another antitrust-like lawsuit.

That was an interesting article. Thanks for sharing it OP.

The best way to show her that you (platonically) care about her in this difficult time is to check in with her - especially a couple of weeks after the funeral. That's when most people who are trying to help her mentally move on. Not that they don't care, just that everyone has a life to lead. But that's the period when the bereaved can feel most lonely and struggle a lot.

Just a simple "I hope you're doing okay" and "let me know if you want to talk about it" will mean the world.

Plus, he still has control of one of the leading social media networks. And that network still (inexplicably and frustratingly) had a lot of influence on people, and thus on Western politics.

NPR isn't too bad.

He really needs to stop huffing his own farts and believing his own hype.

Like an EMP?

...For another year or so. I'm sure their hysteria will be back in time for the 2026 midterms.

The tests showed that ChatGPT o1 and GPT-4o will both try to deceive humans, indicating that AI scheming is a problem with all models. o1’s attempts at deception also outperformed Meta, Anthropic, and Google AI models.

So like us! Proud (and terrified) human parent moment.

There's a great odd couple comedy sitcom there for the taking. Trump and Musk bring roommates in the Oval Office.

What about hate for pickles?

I do. But only because it is burned into my memory. When I was in college one of my professors got really angry at our entire class because nobody knew this grammar rule. So he explained it, and for some reason it stuck with me.

But to your other point, yes, autocorrect often gets it wrong. I've had to remove the unneeded apostrophe on the possessive 'it' so many times.

Vibrating humor

Probably his father too.

And unfortunately (and ironically) for too long some of his followers have acted like he is god.

I was in the UK around the time he died. At first I wasn't familiar with who he was. Then I heard he was a member of One Direction ("oh, he was just a boy band himbo?!"). Then I learned he died through his own over-indulgences and foolishness ("he got hopped up to his eyeballs and fell out a window?!"). And at that point the news coverage made no sense.

Based on the reports and articles, you'd have thought he was some amazing philanthropist and genius musician who only brought joy and enlightenment to the human race. But no, nothing like that. Just another somewhat talented entitled rich boy riding on the backs of better people.

It's the same rose-tinted bullshit we see time after time. Just look at this article from right after Jimmy Saville died - and before his decades of rapping and abusing children made it into the public realm (although it was a very poorly-kept secret even back then).

Now to be clear, I'm not comparing Payne to Saville in their deeds. Payne seems more like a vapid passive user who drifted down life on easy street. Saville was a disgusting monster. But it goes to show how myopic the media can be when faced with the death of a celebrity.

Grok 2.0 alone will move heaven and Earth to reach alien civilizations. It's sole reason for that will be to insult them. But hey, a motivation is a motivation.

Damn. Poor Trump. First he had to deal with a rift with his new (former) bestie Musk when everyone started saying Elon was the real power behind the throne. And now his two original besties have iced him out.

Depends how loudly you need to say it I guess. Haha.

But seriously, good point. Thanks.
