@HoskyWatcher @MarioNawfal Maybe you haven’t seen residents of memory care units taken to the polls, told how to vote.

@MarioNawfal Nice soundbite, but details matter. Critics say the SAVE America Act could make it harder for elderly, students, and low income voters. If you want consistency, push for practical fixes: free IDs, same day registration, and safeguards against disenfranchisement.

🇺🇸 Sen. Mike Lee blasted Democratic opposition to the SAVE America Act, arguing it makes no sense to require ID for flights, bank withdrawals, and licenses, but not for voting: “Imagine if nobody had to prove their identity at any time… You’d be laughed at if you said ‘some people might find it difficult to comply, therefore, we’re not going to require any identification.’” In America, apparently you need an ID for cold medicine… but voting is where the issue is.

@PhilipGreenspun The ‘legacy’ systems are often written in COBOL, running processes that are financial, undocumented and that companies are afraid to replace. Like bank ATMs. Look it up.

Do LLMs enable the firing of older software engineers whose principal value is knowledge of legacy systems and legacy computer languages? Answer: Yes. philip.greenspun.com/blog/2026/02/1…

New report! AI and Older Adults - What's Now and Next ageinplacetech.com/page/whats-now…

@jsibo @TIME Life expectancy number (79) is ‘at birth’. Shame on this article about ‘longevity’. Life expectancy at 65 is mid 80s. Look it up.

We’re living through a fundamental transformation in how society ages. At @TIME, we’re exploring what this means for individuals, institutions, and the future of society through TIME Longevity, our editorial platform dedicated to this defining shift. Today, TIME releases the Longevity Issue, presented by @TIAA, featuring a cover story by @AliceParkNY on how experts are rethinking how older generations learn, work, and live as life expectancy in the U.S. rises: time.com/collections/th…  Cover illustration by Sean Freeman & Eve Steben for TIME

🚨 DAD CAUGHT “TRAINING” HIS TEENAGE DAUGHTER FOR THE NEW BOOSTER SEAT LAW - VIEWERS SAY “THIS CAN’T BE A REAL COUNTRY ANYMORE” A dad went viral after picking his teenage daughter up from high school with a booster seat to “prep her” for the new law taking effect Jan 1st - and the footage is absolute insanity. She’s smiling, embarrassed, rolling her eyes… but still climbs in like she’s five. "I can't even fit!" The internet is split between: • People who think the law is actually great • People who think this is peak satire • And people who swear America has entered full clown-mode What do YOU think - overprotective dad, or is this country actually losing its mind?

@elonmusk @grok I askes Grok what a radio station with an online posted playlist was playing. Guessed wrong 3 times, with silly apologies.

Please provide examples where @Grok needs to improve in replies. Showing how another AI does it better would be helpful. These examples should be of Grok going wrong today, as we fixed many bugs from earlier in the week.
