In July, an incensed Elon Musk vowed that Grok Imagine would produce a "full-length" and "historically accurate" adaptation of Homer's Odyssey to put Christopher Nolan's woke version to shame. Three months later, we got seven minutes of slop that Grok itself admits is not historically accurate.

Some of the most meaningful moments on the campaign trail have been spending time up in the Sault with the Bay Mills and Sault tribes. We must protect tribal sovereignty, protect our Great Lakes, and ensure everyone can get a good job and know that our basic rights and dignities are preserved.

Oh look it's the Far Right rioting in Spain. Over what you ask, "Something very important?" No of course not, never is. They are rioting because their racist Far Right 'leader' cancelled his '''speech'''

'Leaving the European Union was the biggest act of economic self harm any country has ever committed' Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, told #BBCBreakfast Andy Burnham 'is spot on' about having an "honest discussion" ove the prospect of returning to free movement between the UK and European Union

Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

This is important to know.

Naguib Mahfouz - Nobel Prize Lit (1988), Ahmed Zewail - Wolf Prize (1993), Nobel Prize Chemistry (1999), Omar Yaghi (Jordan) – Nobel Prize Chemistry (2025), Hisham Matar - Pulitzer (2017) - even if none of that were true, judging 500 million people by a prize tally is bigotry of the largest order.

He recognizes the historical contribution of Muslims and Arabs at the end of the clip, but says post-Muslim Brotherhood (whatever and whenever this is), there is no Arabic science and literature. Which is also racist and false.

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry winner was Arabic. Omar M. Yaghi Literally less than a year ago. Brain worm take him please

There are 5 Arabs or people of recent Arabic ancestry who have won Nobel Prizes in the natural sciences. There is only one person of Greek background, by the way, a British born chap with a Cypriot father and Singaporean mother.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

How strange Reform UK whose leaders supported Brexit and British people 'taking back control' is happy to get most of its funding from millionaires living abroad (ps who never give something for nothing, 'donations' are the British way of corruption buying policies like tax cuts for millionaires)

Isn’t it strange how a problem the cable internet provider’s chatbot swears “will require a technician visit, for which there will be a charge” vanishes once one threatens to switch providers? It’s almost magical how that happens.

Super-rich get ‘double dividend’ from causes and costs of climate crisis. They profit from polluting industries, and through the ‘adaptation economy’. Super-rich buy govts, control means of production and think tanks. Victims pay higher prices for food, homes, relocations. Who governs?

The BBC would say they’re representing the polls, and the support Reform has in them. I would say the support Reform has in the polls is because they’re over-represented on the BBC. 🤷‍♂️

Apartheid Israel's genocidal crimes against Palestinians are documented, evidenced, relentless. All enabled by the so-called international community, including Ireland. We have legal obligations under international law to act to prevent egregious human rights abuses. #SanctionsNow
