“Grok is now free for everyone” the banner proudly proclaims as I open the app. Great. So I no longer need to have something worth expressing to partake in this constant flow of drivel. Also, I can now expect to find myself arguing with a machine designed to sound erudite. Great

The last (and possibly greatest) original Star Trek film was released today 33 years ago.
Nicholas Meyer's Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country was released 33 years ago today. Still one of the greatest successes of this saga. What a great ending.

a horrifying video imagine feeling instinctively pulled to do a task. something that goes beyond your personal ambitions, your environment, or your job. something that comes from genetic instructions, placed down there over millions of years of evolution, screaming at you from generations past now imagine that task being impossible to do in any satisfactory way. the beaver cannot feel the water, cannot find the wood. there are genetic signals to gather items for the dam, but all the beaver can accomplish in the end is a stage three simulacra. what it will create in this artificial environment will forever be lacking in the eyes of their evolutionary instincts the beaver KNOWS there are unfinished things to do, but it cannot even conceive of what that could be. where is the water? where is the wood? what are these items meant to do? what is the purpose of it all? the beaver does not know. its brothers in the forest do, but that knowledge is forever beyond this domesticated one, who has never even been outside of an air conditioned room but it continues its toil, because the beaver cannot understand that its evolutionary ordained tasks are useless here. the rules of its environment have changed, but it lacks the faculties to recognize that; i simultaneously pity the creature and see myself in it
This beaver was orphaned and rescued as a newborn, Watch the incredible instinct to build a dam, even though it’s never seen it’s parents build one.

RT @Roshan_Rinaldi: Apparently Elmo is very, very upset with SNL because of this portrayal of him on the show this week. So don't retweet…

It is always better to have clarity: Too many people want what Donald Trump has to offer. It will not serve them well. But the battle lines have been explicitly redrawn. Fascism is here and we have to confront it head-on. My latest 👇 marytrump.org/p/waking-up-to…
