I’m just thinking when this seemed to start:
Grok: Yes, COVID itself can affect the brain and change how people think and act. The most common thing is long COVID brain fog — trouble concentrating, slower thinking, forgetfulness, and feeling mentally cloudy. That can make someone seem off or not like themselves.
It can also raise the risk of anxiety, depression, and irritability, which might come across as irrational or short-tempered. Actual encephalitis or serious brain inflammation from COVID is rare, but milder effects on cognition and mood are well documented, especially in long COVID.
The pandemic stress made this worse too — fear, isolation, and disruption hit a lot of people hard mentally. So some of what looks like sudden strange behavior could be the after-effects of infection, but it’s usually more like mental fatigue or mood changes than full-blown irrational freakouts.
🚨🇬🇧BREAKING: UK Police just arrested a crying 5-year-old boy while taking away his father.
Starmer's police dragged the terrified child into a car, then pepper-sprayed and the father and the man filming everything.
What the hell is happening in Britain?
💥BOOM!
🚨IT'S OFFICIAL: 🇺🇸 The SAVE AMERICA ACT got 50 votes, and with JD Vance, it will secure 51 votes. 👏
This version of the bill still includes voter ID and proof of citizenship! 🔥
🚨 WOW! Democrats are furious as a law will soon take effect in Florida REQUIRING that EVERY driver's license issued will need to display whether the person is a NON-CITIZEN as part of the state's SAVE America Act
Florida did it right again ☀️
The law also ENSURES only citizens vote.
Do it nationwide 🇺🇸
Elon Musk: There are no lords and peasants at Tesla. Everyone eats at the same table.
“I actually know the people on the line, because I worked on the line, I walked the line, I slept in the factory, and I worked beside them. So, I'm no stranger to them.
There are many people at Tesla who have gone from working on the line to being in senior management. There are no lords and peasants. Everyone eats at the same table. Everyone parks in the same parking lot.
At GM, there's a special elevator only for senior executives. We have no such thing at Tesla.
We give everyone stock options. Many people who are just working the line, who didn't even know what stocks were, we've made them millionaires.
And I just want to say that I'm incredibly appreciative of those who build the cars, and they know it.”

@Ginasassyass Well, considering they wanted everyone "to have nothing" and like it, Elon Musk is making everyone see what hard work and intention can do. It's just the opposite!
Scott Jennings nailed the liberal meltdown over Elon Musk, becoming the world’s first trillionaire:
“All day long, I’ve been listening to liberals count and spend Elon’s money for him. This envy, jealousy, hatred of success. Why is it immoral? Why is it wrong for somebody in our system… to build companies, build technologies, go into space, aim to put a colony on Mars, give internet to half the world?”
The outrage isn’t about “fairness”, it’s envy dressed up as virtue.
Success that creates jobs, technology, and real progress threatens a worldview built on grievance and zero-sum thinking.
Elon Musk is the shining example of immigration done right.
A legal immigrant who came to America, worked relentlessly, took enormous risks, and built companies that deliver massive value to humanity.
Not by taking from others, but by creating wealth that didn’t exist before.
Success isn’t a crime.
It’s the American Dream in action.
Congratulations, @elonmusk, well earned. Keep building. 🚀
About 5 years ago, Elon was giving @Erdayastronaut a tour of the Starbase launchpad. A worker at the site walks up, hugs him, and says: “We’re going to make it.”
He’s probably a millionaire now.
“Ukraine has dangerous bio-labs” - Putin in 2022
When Putin said that deadly biolabs were experimenting on people around the world, Western media was up in arms and calling it "unsubstantiated claims".
And, we’re back.
No. 8: We don’t need new downtown parks that no one wants. We barely take care of the parks we have.
