Parents! I’ve tapped Grok from xAI to nail my kid’s college fit 🎯. From TCU’s fashion merchandising to BC’s Jesuit vibe, it’s spot-on. Follow these prompts: "You are an expert college admissions counselor. When I give you a school, give me the vibe of the school and relevant details on their [enter program or major]." Then start typing in schools for the scoop—makes the search easier. @lindayaX give @PennState a try and tell me how accurate it is 🎓 #CollegeDad

3 minutes each morning. It's one of the best investments you can make in your health. The deep squat is called “the anti-aging exercise” for good reason—it strengthens & increases mobility in the ankles, knees, hips, and lower back. Take the easy W!

@Camp4 @girdley The Half Price Books flagship store in Dallas is just down the street from us and it is always packed . . . and customers skew much younger than you would think 📕

Do wrapped Home Service Brand Van with character logos really work? Or is it monkey see monkey do?

I read the DeepSeek whitepaper, and the "Aha Moment" proves AI reasoning is weirder than we think 🤖 DeepSeek’s RL model did something uncanny: While solving an equation with nested radicals, it suddenly paused, rewrote its steps, and added anthropomorphic flair: “Wait, wait. That’s an Aha Moment I can flag here.” The unsettling details: ⚙️This wasn’t a cherry-picked example—it’s the default behavior after RL convergence. 🧠The model assigns emotional labels (“Aha!”) to its reasoning process. 🧩Researchers call it “beautiful” but can’t explain why language mixing (Chinese/English) spikes during reflection. The big question: Are we seeing proto-inner-monologue—or just statistical parroting? 🔥 Hot take: AI’s “self-talk” is neither code nor human thought. It’s a third category of cognition—and we’re clueless about its limits. My reco . . . be polite with your prompts

This dystopian hellscape wasn’t generated by AI — it’s a real housing development. There’s a desperate need for affordable homes in this country… but folks, this ain’t it. We can do better. I have a dream… 🧵 (1/2)

@sweatystartup +1 for Moccamasters. They brew coffee at the ideal temperature range of 196°F to 205°F, which is crucial for optimal coffee

I need a new coffee maker. I love my pour over and espresso machine. I also have enjoyed my Bonavita 8 cup for a long time but I need a bigger machine and I don’t want any plastic parts. What is the best on the market?

How did this actually go down? Like where did the negotiations start at? How did Cubes have the gall to ask for $5.7 billion?! Wouldn’t $250 million done it? $500 million? $1 billion?!?! I need a play by play on this one.

There’s a sweet spot for wealth where you’re rich enough to be free but not so rich that you do foolish things or lose touch with what really matters. It turns out Biggie was right—beyond a certain point... Mo' money, mo' problems.

Someone comes to your city for the 1st time. You have to recommend 1 meal that most represents your city. (Not necessarily THE BEST restaurant, but a place that defines your city’s taste & culture) 1. What city are you in? 2. Where do you send them? 2. What should they order?
