This was tongue in cheek when I posted it but the more I think about it, the less surprised I would be if Trump renamed the Grand Canyon - 'Valley of the Presidents' and carved a gigantic mausoleum for himself out of it, with "The biggest statues you've ever seen!"

@RnaudBertrand wait 'til you see his plans for the Grand Canyon

@cfryant Is this the same Bob who couldn't work out why there was no picture when he took the VHS tape out of its box and ran it through his 8mm projector?

He didn't though. This is an altered copy. The original is still intact and unchanged. I don't understand this reaction of "you ruined the original!". Does that mean I can just run some agents 24/7, do this to all movies and suddenly all movies are ruined forever? Is it really that easy to ruin anything you enjoy?

SO GROSS. Why would you even do that? How fucking DARE you alter the original, timeless classics, which are a testament to the art of the era in which they're made?

Elon Musk has been saying this for years and humanity is still fundamentally misunderstanding solar energy Without the sun, Earth would be nothing more than a frozen, dark ice ball hovering at just 3 degrees above absolute zero without light or liquid water....just no life at all Because of the sun, we enjoy a pleasant ~300 degrees above absolute zero. The sun powers almost the entire ecosystem, it is the original and only reason life exists here Every drop of oil on Earth is just stored solar energy from millions of years ago The barrier to a solar-powered world was never the laws of physics. It was purely an engineering problem: cost, battery storage, and scale Everything else is just commentary

QT Time - Grok challenge! YOU are a SUPERSTAR! Therefore, your life deserves a BIOPIC! We skip all the details and focus on one thing: which actor/actress/cartoon (if you want) could play your role in that BIOPIC? Mine, apparently, is Sebastian Stan. I guess the fact that he is Romanian weighted a lot in Grok's decision. Prompt: First, upload a image or yourself or your X logo (if that's what you want). Generate an image with an existing well-known worldwide [actor/actress/cartoon] that could play my role in a BIOPIC based on my own life, strictly from a physical appearance perspective and write his name on top as following [his/her/it name] as [your name/X username] My prompt was the following: Generate an image with an existing well-known worldwide actor that could play my role in a BIOPIC based on my own life, strictly from a physical appearance perspective and write his name on top as following [his name] as Sebastian Diaconu.

The distinction between engineering and magic is entirely a modern linguistic conceit. To the ancients, a wizard, a magus, a sorceror, was not a man who commanded forces outside the laws of nature. He was a man who commanded the forces of nature, by manipulating them through his understanding of natural law. But the modern word for a man who commands the universe by understanding its laws is "engineer". Yes, the ancient sorceror would try to commune with the spirits of the dead, or read the destiny of kings in the stars, or perform fertility rites to make the crops grow, but this wasn't some special supernatural discipline to him. This was simply his model of how the natural world worked. He would not have made a distinction between understanding heat and phase changes, and thereby distilling alcohol, and cutting out the intestines of a bird to predict the fortunes of a business venture. Both, to him, were philosophy and natural law. But as our understanding of the laws of physics grew more sophisticated, we gradually exiled the term "magic" to that which had not been proven to work, and to that which had been proven not to work. Were we given the opportunity to take an ancient Egyptian king on a tour of modern society, riding in an electric car, he would remark that we are a rich people, because we have many powerful magicians. Some of us might hasten to correct him, telling him that there is no magic used here. But he would not, in fact, be wrong.

@RadicalFalk People should make more talking videos like this on X. Easy way to get millions of impressions with basically no followers.
