Elon Musk threatened legal action against Apple on Monday, accusing the company of antitrust violations over how its App Store features Grok, the chatbot created by his xAI startup.
A while back, I was on a phone bank supporting Susan Crawford; on one phone call, as soon as I announced myself as a Dem volunteer, a woman started screaming "Musk is an asshole! Musk is an asshole! Musk is an asshole!"
Toronto’s own shambling band of musical misfits, The Heymacs have been quietly crafting video-based music adventures for over 25 years. They don’t tour, they don’t chase fame — they just tell stories through song. Each flick features recurring characters like Macky, Doc, Skid, Cowboy, and Carlyle, often filmed in backyards, alleys, or borrowed studios.
They first appeared pawing through discarded instruments behind Ms. Laurie’s music store, and from there, built a mythos of resilience, humor, and heart. Their videos often include a gentle reminder: be kind to the homeless.

Wtf is Eric Greenspan doing as a chef at some Tesla diner dive. Why are so many excited to completely trash their careers? For what? Someone they think will give them a modicum of fame? Jesus, I used to think Greenspan was a pretty great chef. I no longer think this.
For one of the most powerful men in the world he sure is a whiny, little bitch.
Using the statistical analysis of Musk and Trump, that certainly does seem to be a trend.
Brenda, I was about to write a comment and I saw you had already written it. Thank you.
The discovery phase is going to be a lot of fun… Elmo will never sue.
Uh, I think his name is Leon. a/k/a Nazi pig.
Trump insists on being #1 in everything. He must be livid that Musk is the most hated man in the U.S. and Netanyahu is #2.
Be patient....
I'm dying to know who's #3. <g>
Assuming this is valid (I trust NOTHING on X), it's Marco Rubio. Trump is # 4.

A while back, I was on a phone bank supporting Susan Crawford; on one phone call, as soon as I announced myself as a Dem volunteer, a woman started screaming "Musk is an asshole! Musk is an asshole! Musk is an asshole!"
Doesn't that just sum everything up?
The sum is the most disliked person in the U.S..
all this whining about unfair competition from the guy who gutted the Federal trade Commission?
The Onion would be proud:
Downsizing due to "unprecedented demand"...
Right?!!

Need a sign in a hurry? This format is fast, powerful, and easy to make.
WHAT TO GET AT THE 💲STORE
1 rigid poster board 🗺️
1 fat black marker (½ inch tip or wider) 🖍️
1. Pick TWO WORDS that feel: politically charged and emotionally IMPORTANT
2. Write the politically charged WORD on the LEFT, and important WORD on the RIGHT.
3. Draw a VERTICAL LINE down the center between them.
That’s it. You’ve got a sign that speaks volumes with just two words.
Inspired by word association tests. It taps into how we connect ideas, emotions, and symbols. The tension between the two words creates meaning.
When People see your sign, they *feel* the other word.

Wtf is Eric Greenspan doing as a chef at some Tesla diner dive. Why are so many excited to completely trash their careers? For what? Someone they think will give them a modicum of fame? Jesus, I used to think Greenspan was a pretty great chef. I no longer think this.
Musk is delusional, X is not a News app, and Grok is just a toy.
He really throws all the toys out of the cot when he doesn't get his way.
I used to think he was a great futurist man. What he has shown are temper tantrums when he doesn’t get his way.
Great reporting! Keep it up! Lets see how long it takes for Lily Lim to become impregnated by muskrat.
