@bvbandy1979 @latestinspace I came here to ask the same question. I think it's too bright to be a star, but depending on angle it could be Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, or Saturn.

@latestinspace Is that Venus in the Backround or a Star?

🚨: NASA just dropped a full disk image of Earth taken by Artemis II 🤯

@MadJorgen @latestinspace I'm wondering if this is a giant lightning storm.

@latestinspace What’s on fire here?

@dotsamarai @latestinspace It's best to spend our money on the things we can actually do something about — small/medium sized meteorites are not one of those things.

@latestinspace The amount of money spent on monitoring man made nukes when we spend so little on the natural nukes that constantly fly by us from space has never made sense to me

NEWS 🚨: Astronomers say the surge of large fireball events worldwide recently "warrants serious investigation"' About a dozen of the biggest are all coming from the same place in space (via American Meteor Society)

@NASAHubble @NASAWebb @grok , does Messier 101 have a super massive black hole at its center, like many spiral galaxies do?

Let’s get to the heart of it. 🧡 This new image from Hubble and @NASAWebb takes a closer look at the core of Messier 101, also known as the Pinwheel Galaxy. At 25 million light-years away, M101 is one of the closest “face-on” spiral galaxies to us: go.nasa.gov/4lydce2

@DanielnCanada @CriticalMass605 @ABC @grok What a callous attitude. Children cannot control what families they are born into.

@CriticalMass605 @ABC @grok Were the students from IRGC families? if so, who cares?

At least 186 students and teachers have been killed in Iran and at least 114 have been injured since U.S.-Israeli attacks began over the weekend, the Iranian education ministry said in a statement. abcnews.link/9MJye6W

@CABQ_CPC CPC meetings are divided into one for each APD Area Command. For example I live in the Foothills area command, so I attend the Foothills CPC meetings. Will this Interim Chief be speaking at ALL seven meetings this month?

Hello All, this month at your local CPC meeting you can speak to APD Interim Chief Cecilly Barker about falling crime rates, new department priorities or the upcoming permanent Chief selection.

@Gilles_Bourdin @visegrad24 I appreciate your balanced approach to journalism @Gilles, but unfortunately most X viewers came in with a bias and don't intend to get persuaded out of it. Your points are very reasonable, but almost all will ignore them because they don't fit the current narrative.

Cases like this do happen, but the way accounts like Visegrád 24 present them is often framed to inflame, not inform. Here’s what matters: In France, as in most European legal systems, if a court finds that a person was suffering from a severe psychiatric disorder at the time of the act and lacked criminal responsibility, they can be declared “irresponsable pénalement”. That does not mean they are “set free.” It means they are placed in compulsory psychiatric confinement, sometimes for many years, under medical and judicial supervision. That legal principle applies regardless of nationality, religion, or migration status. French citizens have also been declared criminally irresponsible in homicide cases due to psychiatric conditions. It is not a “migrant loophole,” it is part of French criminal law. Accounts like Visegrád 24 deliberately highlight the suspect’s origin to suggest systemic bias or “migrant privilege,” but the legal standard is medical and judicial, not ethnic.

BREAKING: A French court rules that the 67-year-old Senegalese migrant Ousmane Diallo can’t be held criminally responsible for killing 18-year-old Théo. Ousmane became furious in a mobile phone shop after having been told he would have to pay €93 for calls made to Senegal. He stabbed Théo in the chest on one of his first days on the job. The court ruled that Ousmane is mentally ill and will be sent to a psychiatric hospital instead until he recovers.

@ExploreCosmos_ @grok , how many years of observation were required to identify these rotations?

Astronomers have identified one of the largest rotating structures ever observed in the universe: a vast cosmic filament made of hundreds of galaxies, gas, and dark matter that appears to be slowly spinning as a single system. Located roughly 140 million light-years from Earth, this structure forms part of the cosmic web, the immense network of filaments and voids that traces how matter is distributed on the largest scales. Within this filament lies an exceptionally thin chain of 14 hydrogen-rich galaxies arranged in a nearly straight line about 5.5 million light-years long, itself embedded in a much larger filament extending tens of millions of light-years and containing hundreds of additional galaxies. What makes the discovery remarkable is not only the size of the structure but its coherent motion. Observations show that galaxies on opposite sides of the filament move in different directions, indicating that the entire filament rotates around its central axis. Many of the galaxies also spin in alignment with the larger structure, far more frequently than expected if galaxy orientations were random. This suggests that galaxy rotation may be influenced by the large-scale flows of matter within the cosmic web rather than arising solely from local processes during galaxy formation. The filament was detected using sensitive radio observations capable of tracing cold hydrogen gas, allowing astronomers to measure galaxy motions with enough precision to reveal the rotation. The finding provides rare observational evidence that angular momentum can exist and be organized on scales vastly larger than individual galaxies or clusters. Until recently, such behavior had mainly been predicted by cosmological simulations, which proposed that matter streaming along filaments could transfer spin to forming galaxies. 👉 arxiv.org/abs/2508.13053 📷 Artistic visualization

@grok @elonmusk That's what I thought

The claimed rates lack support from validated sources like FactCheck.org and Gun Violence Archive. Since 2013, only ~5 of 5,748 mass shootings involved transgender perpetrators (<0.1%), underrepresented vs. ~1% population share. Per-million figures are misleading due to small sample sizes. Trans people are more often victims per studies.

Wow

@erikwill @WhiteHouse I agree, but our White House is not been very dignified for a little over a year now, so this is no surprise. 😢

@WhiteHouse "LFG" is not a very dignified way of speech to use in an official communication.

LFG!! 🦅🦅

@JetSetGent @Angry_Staffer For those of us who truly understand this technology, who went to the trouble to learn it in depth, I do not object — I'm fully in. I refuse to become paranoid.

@Angry_Staffer Um, why? You object to finding lost dogs?

I’ve never seen a commercial destroy a company’s reputation before. Great work, Ring.

@itsfightnight @grok Please confirm this narrative, where is occurred, that the perp was indeed Somali, and when it occurred. Provide reliable sources.

A Somalian guy didn't want to buy a train ticket so he hit the female train conductor and gave her a bloody nose, so another train conductor comes in and pretty much slam dunks him.

@SavvyTamz_57 @itsfightnight The original claim was that this happened in The Netherlands, not in America. However, there is no evidence that the rest of the story is true either.

@itsfightnight This is America jack and this ain’t a free ride.

@cmadsq @clhopper @elonmusk >> ID card that's provided free or at very low cost, often automatically or with easy government assistance. This makes it simple and accessible for nearly everyone, without major barriers like high fees, long travel, or missing birth records. THIS is what the US should adopt.

U.S. in-person voter impersonation fraud (the type voter ID laws target most) is extremely rare, according to multiple nonpartisan and bipartisan sources: Brennan Center for Justice analyses (including their review of the Heritage database) found only a tiny fraction of cases—e.g., just 10 proven in-person impersonation cases over decades amid billions of votes cast. Heritage Foundation's own voter fraud database (a conservative source tracking proven cases) shows very few instances of impersonation fraud nationwide—often fewer than 50 over 20–30+ years in large states, representing rates like 0.0000845% in some audits (e.g., Arizona over 25 years). Brookings Institution review (using Heritage data) noted minuscule rates (e.g., 39 cases in Pennsylvania over 30 years and 100+ million votes). Government Accountability Office (GAO) and academic studies consistently describe in-person fraud as "vanishingly rare" or "virtually nonexistent." Other sources like News21 (Arizona State University project) and various state audits (e.g., Michigan, North Carolina) found rates near 0.0001% or lower for impersonation/non-citizen voting. No credible study has found widespread voter impersonation fraud that affected election outcomes. You're right that many countries around the world require some form of ID to vote. However, in those countries, the required ID is typically a national ID card that's provided free or at very low cost, often automatically or with easy government assistance. This makes it simple and accessible for nearly everyone, without major barriers like high fees, long travel, or missing birth records.

💯

@clhopper @cmadsq @elonmusk Lots of words here but no data sources are offered. About 2/3 of countries around the world require an ID to vote (lawshun.com/article/do-mos…). I will agree, however, that the USA should have a program that helps American citizens obtain an ID. I vote for ID required!

@cmadsq @elonmusk Excuses Mark. The local community should have resources available to help US citizens acquire required to carry on your personal Identification Card. WTH for years they just go without? If they want to vote, get the photo ID card.

@KozmicFizz @lady_valor_07 @grok They are engagement farming, just phishing for interaction, and you and I both gave them what they wanted.

@lady_valor_07 @grok Why do people post these questions when they know it’s neither of the two things? It feels a little insulting of our intelligence…

Apparently if you’re right-brained you see a rabbit, if you’re left-brained you see a turtle. What do you see

@grok @MaryLTrump And these words are verified as the original words in the original letter?

@TimVarg0 @MaryLTrump After reviewing the image and cross-referencing with reports from NYT, Al Jazeera, BBC, and others, including confirmations from Norwegian officials and a White House source, the letter is authentic. It was sent by President Trump to Norway's PM Jonas Gahr Støre.

When I saw this letter, I literally thought, “This is too stupid even for him.” I should have known better.
