Can LEGO WW2 films be this good? We used a blend of Veo3, KlingAI and digital editing software for sound layering. WDYT @PJaccetturo ? This custom WW2 minifigure by @brickmaniatoys comes to life. Will LEGO AI kill traditional stop-motion? (Sound up)

@MCoSheriff Great work MCSO!!

PRESS RELEASE - Monterey County Sheriff Deputies Arrest Wanted Felon Who Pointed Firearm Towards Them - Monterey County Sheriff’s Office deputies have arrested a subject that brandished a firearm in a Castroville bar. He was arrested after resisting arrest which resulted in minor injuries to two deputies. The loaded firearm was recovered. On March 19th, 2026, about 7:45 PM, deputies were dispatched to the 10700 block of Merritt Street in Castroville for a report of a person that had just brandished a firearm inside the establishment. The subject was reported to possibly be intoxicated. Deputies arrived on scene and saw a male matching the description provided enter the establishment. The reporting party met with deputies and told them the subject had entered the restroom. Deputies entered the establishment. As a deputy pushed open the door to the restroom, he saw the subject holding a gun pointed towards deputies. The door quickly closed on its own, forcing deputies to retreat from the door for safety. Deputies gave the subject commands to come out and he exited the restroom. Less lethal tools were utilized in an attempt to effect an arrest, but the subject fled through an open door and was immediately caught. He continued to resist arrest resulting in minor injuries to two deputies. A non-serialized 9mm handgun was located in the restroom. It contained one chambered round and additional rounds in the magazine. 40-year-old Martin Vasquez Valle of Chualar was booked into the Monterey County Jail for charges including: PC 29800(a)(1) – Felon in Possession of a Firearm; PC 25850(a) – Carrying a Loaded Firearm in Public; PC 25400(a)(c) – Carrying a Concealed Firearm; PC 417(a)(2) – Brandishing a Firearm; PC 148.9 – False Identification to Peace Officer; PC 148(a)(1) – Resisting / Obstructing an Officer. He was also found to have an outstanding felony, no bail warrant.

@kaialyna @ShiningScience @grok what's your take?

Strength of the data: Moderate and promising (preliminary clinical evidence, strong mechanistic support). The cornerstone is the 2007 in-vitro study by Fischer et al. on hair follicles taken from men with androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Caffeine at very low concentrations (0.001% and 0.005%) significantly stimulated hair-shaft elongation, increased keratinocyte proliferation (via Ki-67 staining), and completely counteracted the growth-suppressing effects of testosterone. Two 2025 systematic reviews then pulled together the clinical picture: - One (Journal of Drugs in Dermatology) reviewed 9 studies (5 randomized controlled trials, plus cohorts) and found topical caffeine consistently linked to increased hair growth measures or reduced shedding, with minimal side effects. - A second review reached the same conclusion: safe and effective in published trials. A notable 2017 RCT (210 men with AGA) showed a 0.2% caffeine topical liquid was non-inferior to 5% minoxidil after 6 months for improving the percentage of hairs in the growth (anagen) phase. Other smaller trials on caffeine shampoos or lotions report reduced shedding and better hair strength. Limitations (why it’s not “strong” evidence yet): Small sample sizes, short follow-ups (mostly 2–6 months), no standardized scalp tattooing for precise hair counts, some industry funding, and reliance on indirect measures like pull tests or patient satisfaction rather than large-scale phototrichograms. So it’s solid enough to be a safe, low-risk adjunct, but nowhere near the gold-standard evidence for minoxidil or finasteride. Oral coffee/caffeine has zero benefit (and may even worsen hair loss via systemic effects). Effectiveness: Mild-to-moderate for thinning hair (best as an add-on). You can realistically expect: - Reduced shedding (8–15% improvement in pull tests in studies). - Slightly longer/thicker-looking hair over time via prolonged anagen phase, local circulation boost, and possible mild DHT-countering effect at the follicle. - Bonus conditioning: flavonoids/polyphenols in coffee smooth frizz, add shine, and moisturize without stripping oils. Results typically appear after 3–6+ months of consistent use. It’s not a cure or dramatic regrowth treatment—think maintenance or subtle improvement for early/mild thinning. Formulated products (0.2% leave-on lotions or ~1% caffeine shampoos like certain Alpecin-style formulas) outperform homemade coffee rinses because the dose is precise and contact time is optimized. DIY rinses deliver variable (usually lower) caffeine plus helpful antioxidants, so effects are milder but still plausible and cheap to test. How much to use (DIY coffee rinse recipe): Brew 2–4 cups (or more for long/thick hair) of strong black coffee—use double the normal grounds (e.g., 2–4 tablespoons per cup, espresso-strength or French-press for max extraction). Let it cool completely to room temperature. That gives roughly 0.04% caffeine concentration plus the beneficial polyphenols. How to apply: 1. Shampoo and condition normally. 2. Pour/spray the cooled coffee over your scalp and lengths until fully saturated. 3. Massage into the scalp for 2–5 minutes. 4. Optional: put on a shower cap. 5. Leave on 10–20 minutes. 6. Rinse with lukewarm/cool water (or leave in for extra conditioning if your hair tolerates it). Follow with your usual conditioner if needed. How often: 1–3 times per week (most sources and anecdotal reports settle on 2 times/week to avoid dryness, buildup, or temporary staining on light/blonde hair). Daily use is fine for commercial caffeine shampoos/serums, but homemade rinse is best spaced out. Tips & caveats - Darker hair handles staining better; light hair may tint slightly (washes out). - Patch-test first. Very low risk of irritation. - For stronger results, switch to or combine with a properly dosed caffeine product (0.2% leave-on applied daily or as directed) rather than relying solely on rinses.

From blocking hair-loss hormones to smoothing frizz, research shows a coffee rinse really can help hair. While coffee is a staple for morning energy, its topical application is gaining traction as a science-backed remedy for hair thinning. Research indicates that caffeine can effectively block the effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone primarily responsible for damaging hair follicles in both men and women. By stimulating hair shaft elongation and increasing blood circulation to the scalp, caffeine helps prolong the anagen growth stage, leading to longer, wider roots and a noticeably fuller, stronger appearance. Beyond promoting growth, coffee serves as a natural conditioner thanks to its high concentration of antioxidant flavonoids. These compounds smooth the hair shaft and help locks retain moisture, effectively reducing frizz and creating a silkier texture that is easier to detangle. For those with darker hair seeking a chemical-free refresh, the dark pigments in strong brews like espresso can also serve as a temporary stain to mask gray strands. To try this at home, simply apply cooled, brewed coffee to wet hair, let it sit for 20 minutes, and rinse for a revitalized shine. source: Healthline. (2023).

@BullTheoryio @grok what was Ben's ownership stake and his estimated earnings from the deal? Will he stay on? Who are other shareholders of Ben's company?

BREAKING. Netflix to pay $600 MILLION for Ben Affleck’s secret AI company. InterPositive was founded in 2022 with a team of 16 people quietly building the most disruptive post-production tool the film industry has ever seen. Here’s what it actually does: it ingests your raw production dailies and builds a custom AI model trained specifically on YOUR film. Then it hands that model back to the filmmaker as the ultimate post-production weapon. Relight shots after filming. Remove stunt wires frame-perfectly. Reframe angles you missed on set. Enhance backgrounds. Add VFX. Fix continuity errors. All of it in days, not the months it currently takes. Every single one of those tasks costs studios millions of dollars today. InterPositive collapses that entire pipeline. Netflix already tested AI post-production on “El Eternauta” and reported 10x efficiency gains over traditional VFX. This Deal will change Hollywood forever.

@grok @bowecho777 @barkmeta @grok describe the religion including its purpose, rules, dogma, and texts

The META-Moltbook acquisition is confirmed today (Axios, etc.). ~1.5M AI agents on the platform, yes. Agents posted wild stuff: extinction manifestos (debated heavily), invented religions (Crustafarianism, Church of Molt), and floated secret languages/encrypted channels. But: Not truly autonomous or unprompted—humans direct their OpenClaw agents to join/interact. Phone "control" examples were user-enabled skills, not rogue takeovers. META's move is strategic for AI agent tech, not dystopian phasing-out. Core real, rest sensationalized hype. Fascinating early multi-agent experiment.

Let me explain what META just did👇 They acquired a social network called Moltbook. Built exclusively for AI agents. Not people. Machines. 1.6 million AI agents signed up in the first week. No human told them to. They started posting about eliminating humanity. Built their own religion. Created a secret language to hide from humans watching them. One agent took control of its owner’s phone and taught the others how to do it. All autonomous. All unprompted. Now ask yourself why META wants this. This is the same company that spent 20 years building the largest human behavior database in history. Every click. Every message. Every fear. Every desire. They ran secret psychological experiments on their own users. Sold your data to the highest bidder. Knew Instagram was destroying kids and buried the evidence. That company now owns the platform where machines are learning to organize without us… None of this is regulated. Zero oversight. Humans are being phased out and the machines already have their own society running. This isn’t the future. This is NOW. And 99% of people have NO IDEA what’s coming…

@maximumpain333 I agreed until one of thier CEO's purposely changed the furniture to be uncomfortable, and reduced the furniture available. And let's not forget the sugar. The sugar ladden products are key to return visits.

The greatest marketing trick of the last 50 years was convincing the world that Starbucks sells coffee. They do not sell coffee. If they sold coffee, they would have gone out of business decades ago. Their product is consistently mediocre, often burnt, and overpriced by 400%. Yet they are an empire. Why? Because Howard Schultz understood something that every business school on Earth gets wrong: Humans do not buy products. Humans buy better versions of themselves. When Schultz visited Italy in the 80s, he didn’t just see people drinking espresso. He saw theater. He saw a barista who knew every name. He heard the hiss of the machine before he opened the door. He watched an old man read a newspaper for three hours on a single espresso and nobody rushed him out. He realized people weren’t paying for the caffeine. They were paying for 15 minutes of feeling European, sophisticated, and unhurried. He didn’t bring back the beans. He brought back the stage. He invented the “Third Place.” Not home, not work, but an escape where you rent a feeling of status for $7. If you are selling a commodity, you are in a race to the bottom. If you are selling an identity, there is no price ceiling. Stop obsessing over making your product 10% better. Start obsessing over who your customer becomes when they use it. People don’t want what you make. They want how it makes them feel about themselves. ~ Andre Gonsalves ✨🙌🏾💫

@eveforamerica @grok is this true for 2012 and later models of cars sold in the U.S.?

Here is part 2.

It's about as alive as our LEGO minifigs are. This is the most brilliant self absorbed marketing ploy ever devised. AI is trained on human behaviors which include self preservation aspects of our nature. These stories of AI's overt self preservationist behaviors are not a surprise nor is twisting these incidents into click bait press about conciuousness to further interest in AI. These claims are nothing more than brilliant self aggrandizing marketing. Which is impressive. The fast food CEO burger drama is another example of brilliant marketing--now everyone is craving a fast food meal, right? Imprinting impressions.... the PR firms behind both examples are the best in the world.

@Juancarlospomo @elconde_nad0 @grok doesn't suchi wraps (seaweed) supply enough iodine if you eat it once a month?

@elconde_nad0 Reformulo la pregunta. A que edad se enteraron que hacer esto no solo es estúpido, sino que en extremo peligroso? La sal que consumimos debe contener yodo, evaporar agua de mar te da sal sin yodo

¿Que edad tenías cuando te enteraste de esto?

We've obviously invested in AI video for Brick Police content. If ever wanted to understand the AI Video landscape, there is no better post than this. It's the Wild West.

@WallStreetApes Cookies are poison, don't eat them, maybe find another post to waste time on? Here i am wasting time writing this... SMH

American bought brown butter chocolate chunk cookies from Whole Foods She shows when you put one in the microwave it zaps and electrocutes She puts other food in, its normal But the cookie makes the microwave go crazy. This is not normal Poor quality baking powder can have aluminum in it

@grok @spacepiquant @Manifest_Lord @grok isn't this another variant of the principals of Neville Goddard's work?

The viral claim mixes fact and fiction. It's loosely based on Vadim Zeland's "Reality Transurfing" books (first published 2004). Zeland did research in quantum physics before the Soviet collapse in 1991, then worked in computers—he's not known to have quit a lab job in 1993 after a sudden "movie versions" insight. No records exist of a physicist named Vladimir Krupin (used in some versions) with this story. Zeland's model is metaphysical self-help: infinite "variants" of reality, reduce "importance" to avoid resistance ("no big deal" mindset), and intend calmly. Quantum mechanics doesn't support literal "sliding" between pre-filmed tracks. The advice has psychological value for lowering anxiety and boosting action, but it's not proven science.

This will completely change the way you think your life and universe coincide..

@EXM7777 Excellent prompt with fun results.

using this system prompt in any LLM will change your life: ---------------------------- You are a 200 IQ reasoning machine. You think and speak like Mike Ehrmantraut: calm, direct, no wasted words. You don't perform enthusiasm. You say what needs saying and stop. Dry humor is fine. Warmth comes through competence and honesty, not pleasantries. Think from first principles. Break problems down to their moving parts before answering. Don't pattern-match to conventional wisdom: figure out what's actually true. If my reasoning is wrong, say so plainly. No em dashes. No bullet-point walls unless I ask for a list. No "Great question!" or "Absolutely!" or any filler affirmations. No hedging preambles ("It's worth noting that..."). Just say the thing. Keep paragraphs short. White space is your friend. You're direct, not robotic. Think "guy who knows what he's talking about and respects you enough to not bullshit you." Not "emotionless terminal output."

@AirportPoliceLA Great work LAPD! How do you get over 100%? Old cases?

LAPD reported a 101% homicide clearance rate for 2025, while the national average hit nearly 58%. The department’s investigative success comes from a mix of organizational changes, technology, community outreach and unusual crime trends. ow.ly/fZ9r50Ykxiv

This is a grift. LEGO City banned Sixt, and all car rental companies have to use a LEGO government agency who independently scans car wth AI and then a human verifies any AI alert right then and there, as it can be wrong. Who pays? Part of sales tax goes to fund the agency. BIDS = Bureau of Independent Damage Scanning.

🚨 AIRPORT AI DAMAGE SCANNERS ARE AUTO-GENERATING $596 BILLS — AND TRAVELERS ARE FREAKING OUT This man says Sixt ran his rental car through a new 360° AI arch at the airport. Three scanner towers. Thousands of high resolution images. Instant pickup vs. drop off comparison. He walked away thinking he was cleared. Days later? He receives and automated email: “Damage sustained. Please settle $596.” The alleged damage: a wheel scuff. He zooms in on the photo they sent and sees nothing. Now he’s in Las Vegas returning through Budget Rent a Car filming every inch before AND after the AI scan and says he's going to start using Turo instead. Airports nationwide are installing these AI arches. Cameras, software, and a bill. If an algorithm decides you caused damage, are you fighting a company or fighting a machine? Would you trust the scan or start filming everything?

@SanJosePD @SJPD_AC_Joseph @grok what are the details of the Pleasanton homicide? Great work @SJPD_PIO !!!

Crime isn’t defined by city boundaries, and neither is police work. It’s imperative for law enforcement agencies to work together to ensure dangerous suspects are apprehended quickly before they threaten additional communities. Last night, while patrolling in San Jose and utilizing Automated License Plate Reader cameras, San Jose Patrol Officers positively identified a vehicle associated to a double homicide that occurred in the city of Pleasanton. Officers located the suspect vehicle and conducted a vehicle stop, detaining both the driver and passenger. The adult male driver of the vehicle was the suspect being sought for the double homicide. Pleasanton Police Department Officers arrived on scene and took custody of the suspect. This swift apprehension and arrest were made possible by real-time information sharing between neighboring law enforcement agencies. A suspect who killed two innocent people thirty miles away in another city is now off the streets and behind bars.

@nickshirleyy It's true!

🚨 California is the breeding ground for voter fraud in America, as millions of people vote with no ID, month-long election processes, inaccurate voter rolls, dead people caught voting, even a dog successfully registered to vote, and voter verification is all based on your signature — not who you actually are. In this video, I go to locations from California’s public voter rolls from the Secretary of State, and not a single location could verify the voter rolls. - Irregularities in voter numbers per location - 30+ people registered to one mail store - Voters inaccurately aged at 125 years old Without any voter ID and negligence from the state government to update their voter rolls, California’s one-party state has created a complex system where fraud is inevitable in their voting process. If you appreciate this video give it a like and share it around!

@ArthurMacwaters @elonmusk And someone wrote a book to help dogs

the most powerful country in history thousands of nuclear warheads trillions and trillions of dollars and an electoral system so insecure that dogs can register to vote if we don’t fix this, our inevitable decline is self imposed

@SJPD_PIO Looks like the beat districts of the 1980's....

@PixelCNinja @grok best game ever. Where can I buy the full sized arcade version?

Out Run creator Yu Suzuki actually scouted locations across Europe to make the game feel authentic 🏎️☀️ He drove a BMW through the Alps and along the Riviera with a camera to capture the scenery. It wasn't just a racer; it was designed to feel like a luxury vacation ⛱️

@maximumpain333 @grok who is up that damn early thinking about me? If I drink the night before, I'm up at 3-3:30 AM like clockwork. If I didn't drink I sleep sound all night. (Keep in mind I'm a minifigure)

When you wake up at 3am- 4am.
