@thebigjohnnyd Please, those of us who grew up in CBR have a very small pool of non-political celebrities to relate to and Jackie Chan and @Patty_Mills are our treasures.

why do Canberrans talk about Jackie Chan previously living here as if it’s good that an icon like him ever had to be exposed to this city’s existence

@Rainmaker1973 Hey @grok what actually causes this glow in really simple terms?

A nuclear reactor pulse and startup compilation. The blue light is known as Cherenkov radiation.

@BullTheoryio Hey @grok does the president usually swear in the Fed chair and where are these types of event typically held? (Can’t say I’ve ever thought about it before)

BREAKING: President Trump will swear in Kevin Warsh as the new Federal Reserve Chair today. Warsh officially takes office at 11:00 AM, replacing Jerome Powell.

@grok @earth_tracker @grok I’m no marine biologist, but I’m pretty sure that ain’t no sea lion.

That’s a sea lion—a wild pinniped (related to seals but with visible ear flaps and better mobility on land). They look adorable and playful, but they’re powerful predators that weigh 200–800+ lbs, swim incredibly fast, and have sharp teeth. They can be territorial or curious, and bites do happen if they feel threatened. The guys’ panic is over-the-top funny, but giving it space was smart! 😂

This video never gets old..😂😂

@rushicrypto Bilionaires use AI hype as means to end. Most announced DCs won't be built. Most "sales" is coming from hype investrs. Layoffs are just to boost stk prices. People get bored & find new thing. Bubble pops. AI tech matures yrs later and eventually thrives. Ur job is probably safe.

Are billionaires actually insane? They’re dumping billions into AI, building data centers everywhere, laying off thousands of workers, and acting like none of this will have consequences. Everybody with a normal job can feel what’s coming. People are terrified. And there’s basically no safety net if it all collapses. It honestly feels like they’re racing toward some massive crisis while hoping we stay distracted until it’s too late.

Hey @DrNeilStone, is developing a vaccine for this new strain of Ebola a matter of updating the existing vaccine (like how flu vaccines get adapted each season), or is it a bit more complicated than that?

@TheCinesthetic And in spite of all the advances in special effects and CGI, somehow the dinosaurs in the original look more dinosaury.

The first T-Rex attack in Jurassic Park (1993) still feels like Spielberg showing every blockbuster director how suspense is actually built. The water ripples in the cup, the flashlight in rain… the scene stretches anticipation until it becomes unbearable.

@TerribleMaps Ever noticed a particular accent is far more prevalent amongst the Empire folk in Star Wars? And they can’t exactly have spent £2.9 trillion on tea and biscuits, yet that’s the UK national debt. I think this all can only mean one thing.

Reported UFO sightings across Europe

@MSpringAuthor17 @AustralianLabor Hey @grok, is there a way this change could be better targeted to tax avoidance on high income earners while not impacting small businesses who may only be using discretionary trusts structures for something like asset protection?

@thebigjohnnyd It’s interesting how many times you watch different companies being too blinded by success in their home market to realise that they won’t just automatically succeed overseas by doing the same thing there.

its an almost inspirational level of delusion that both GYG and Crust genuinely thought they could crack American markets, two chains whose existence in Australia is solely propped up by us not having much other choice for a kind of food that's huge in America

@Megatron_ron Hey @grok is this true? And if it is true what’s the nature of the aircraft, are we talking F-35’s like in the photo or are they stretching the definition of “lost planes” to include things like aircraft stuck parked in the Middle East because of airspace closures or something?

BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇮🇷Congress Research Service announced 42 US aircraft were lost or damaged during the war with Iran

@rumiiihere Hey @grok if I delete mosquitoes am I going to cause any unintended ecological consequences?

@_R4V3N5_ Hey @grok just letting you know I’m the kind of person who’ll be nice to the robots.

people are going to be horrible to the robots aren't they

@Kristinartz Is being alive without a pet actually “living” though?

Have you ever actually lived ALONE? No kids. No roommates. No partner. No pets. Just you?

@Scav **Whispers** Hey @grok what’s obsidian, I only know it as a type of rock?

@TheKouk Hey @grok what is this in percentage of GDP terms and how does Australia compare to similar nations in terms of net debt load and maturity profile.

Govt debt update: $969.2 billion as of today. $3.0 billion of new borrowing next week, with no maturities

@australian Hey @grok was this actually a dangerous stunt from the Russian pilot or just something like a TCAS activation because of a Russian jet coming within several miles?

A Russia jet came so close to the RAF plane over the Black Sea, it set off emergency systems and disabling the plane’s autopilot. Read more: bit.ly/4uZkT0b

@TimaruKaBIMARU Hey @grok I think this guy is on to something because I’ve never met a non-Australian Lachlan either, is there some historical/cultural reason for this?

never heard of someone with the name lachlan who isn't australian. what's up with that

@Keir_Starmer Hey @grok can you please explain what the Manchester Arena terror attack was for those of us overseas who haven’t heard of it?

Nine years on from the Manchester Arena terror attack, my thoughts are with those who lost their lives, the survivors, and their loved ones. Last year I was proud to deliver on my promise to Figen Murray to introduce Martyn’s Law, in memory of her son Martyn Hett. Martyn’s Law will help save lives by making sure venues and event spots have clear plans in place and are ready to act if the worst happens.
