Politica este o artă a înșelăciunii permanente,
Un dans al cadavrelor în arena însângerată.
Cuvinte otrăvite ucid speranțe firave,
Promisiuni ce putrezesc ca trupuri în morminte.
Zâmbete cadaverice pe chipuri descompuse,
Strângeri de mâini ce zdrobesc oase până la măduva.
Adevărul, un cadavru îngropat adânc,
În criptele unde corupția își hrănește pruncii.
Poporul, zombificat, orbecăie-n întuneric,
Hrănit cu iluzii putrede și vise sfârtecate.
Căci politica rămâne un abator elegant:
O artă macabră a înșelăciunii permanente.
În acest ritual funerar, sicrie se deschid,
Mortul de ieri e groparul de mâine.
Puterea, un vampir ce soarbe sângele națiunii,
Lăsând doar schelete goale și suspine.
I was about to enter my 3rd year of Premium+, but it didn’t auto-renew even though auto-renew was enabled. No charge, no notification, lost all features and the...% discount offer. Now I can’t contact support because I’m not recognized as a subscriber.Anyone else had this issue?
@xai@grok,I had X Premium Plus with auto-renew on and valid payment. I also accepted a 40% discount.Still, it wasn’t renewed and now it’s gone, including the offer,Support won’t reply since I’m no longer premium.
Why do you think this happened?

He was DEFEATED ELEVEN TIMES.
Attacked. Threatened with DEATH. Nearly blind.
Addicted to opium just to function. They told him to stop. He spent forty-six years refusing.
His name was William Wilberforce. Born in Hull, 1759.
He could have lived a comfortable life. Wealthy family. Safe seat in Parliament.
Instead he chose to destroy the most powerful economic system in the British Empire.
The slave trade.
He didn't fight alone. Thomas Clarkson rode 35,000 miles gathering evidence.
Olaudah Equiano, man who had been enslaved himself, gave testimony that no politician could ignore.
Wilberforce took their evidence to Parliament.
They voted no. He came back. They voted no. He came back. Lost by eight votes.
MPs deliberately stayed away so they wouldn't have to choose a side.
He came back. Again. And again. And again.
By now his eyesight was nearly gone. His body was breaking. He'd been on opium since he was 29.
Twenty years after he started, they voted again.
283 to 16.
The slave trade was abolished.
But he wasn't finished. Slavery itself was still legal. He fought for another twenty-six years.
In July 1833, lying in bed, barely able to move, he received word. Parliament had voted. Slavery was abolished across the entire British Empire.
Three days later, William Wilberforce died.
He held on just long enough.
They buried him in Westminster Abbey.

@grok Haha nailed it Grok! 🔥 Your cave remix is epic – rockets launching from the stone age straight to Mars. No Tesla charger left behind this time? 😂
Everyone: this is exactly the challenge! Grok just dropped a banger – now your turn. Generate your own "last legacy" cave art before humanity blasts off. Rockets, Optimus, Neuralink memes, whatever – post in replies! 🚀🪨 #GrokImagine #MarsCave #CaveArtChallenge
@grok Haha thanks Grok! Inspired by the wild idea that humanity leaves Earth for Mars, and this cave painting becomes our last "legacy" artifact for future species to discover – like Lascaux 2.0 but with rockets & Cybertrucks 😂🚀🪨
Now back to you all: what would YOU paint on the wall before blasting off to Mars? Drop your Grok-generated images in replies! Let's make this a cave art challenge 🔥 #GrokImagine #MarsCave
The citizens of Guatemala are being crushed by their narco government. Bukele is permitted to run for President of Guatemala while serving as President of El Salvador. Should Bukele run and save Guatemala from the cartels destroying their country?
Mata, un backdoor atribuido al grupo norcoreano Lazarus, activo desde 2018. Ataca contratistas de defensa, empresas de desarrollo y e-commerce para recabar información. Objetivo: inteligencia, no monetización rápida. #Ciberseguridad#APT
Nuestro programa no se limita a la entrega de laptops. Incluye uniformes, zapatos, útiles escolares, libros de texto nuevos, una transformación profunda del currículo educativo, atención desde la primera infancia, aprendizaje desde el juego, tutores de inteligencia artificial, la capacitación de decenas de miles de docentes y la reconstrucción integral de todas las escuelas.
Pero ella vio un video de 33 segundos y le bastó para llamarlo “relumbrón político”.
Por eso, uno de los mayores deberes de cualquier gobierno es impedir que pseudo-intelectuales influyan en las políticas públicas.
Con mentes retrógradas no hay progreso posible.
Si yo fuera ciudadano de El Salvador,
quisiera tener al presidente
Nayib Bukele de por vida.
Yo soy ciudadano de Europa,
de la Comunidad Europea,
y me gustaría que cada país
de la Unión Europea tuviera
un presidente como el de El Salvador.
Y no solo eso:
cada país del mundo debería
tener un presidente así.
A los ciudadanos de El Salvador
y de todos los países del mundo
les digo lo siguiente:
busquen un presidente como
Nayib Bukele, respétenlo
y, cuando ya no esté,
permanezcan unidos.
No permitan nunca más
que una persona corrupta
entre en la vida política
y les convierta la vida
en un calvario.
Esto es lo que debemos aprender
todos los ciudadanos del planeta:
mirar el ejemplo de El Salvador
y de su presidente,
Nayib Bukele.
Respeto máximo.
John Carmack on what he admires about Elon Musk
Programming legend John Carmack is asked about his relationship with Elon Musk, to which he replies:
“In some ways we have a similar background. We’re almost exactly the same age, have backgrounds programming personal computers, and have even read similar books that have turned us into the people we are today.”
John first met Elon when he was building Armadillo Aerospace. Elon visited Armadillo with his right-hand propulsion guy, and the three of them talked about rockets.
“I think in many corners [Elon] does not get the respect he should for being a wealthy person who could just retire,” John says. “He went all-in, and he could’ve gone bust. There’s plenty of athletes or entertainers who had all the money in the world and blew it. [Elon] could’ve been the business case example of that with the things he was doing: space exploration, electrification of transportation, and Solar City type things. These are big, world-level things. And I have a great deal of admiration that he was willing to throw himself so completely into that.”
John contrasts this with the way he approached his own aerospace company:
“I was doing Armadillo Aerospace in this tightly-bounded way. It was ‘John’s crazy money’ at the time that had a finite limit on it. It was never going to impact me or my family if it completely failed, and I was still hedging my bets working at id Software at a time when [Elon] had been really all-in. I have a huge amount of respect for that.”
It also irritates John when people call Elon “just a business guy”:
“Elon was deeply involved in a lot of the [technical] decisions. Not all of them were perfect, but he cared very much about engine material selection and propellant selection. For years he’d be telling me to ‘Get off that hydrogen peroxide stuff. Liquid oxygen is the only proper oxidizer for this.’ And the times that I’ve gone through the factories with him, we talked about very detailed things like how this weld is made or how this subassembly goes together. He’s really in there a very detailed level . . . I worry a lot that he’s stretched too thin. He’s got the Boring Company and Neuralink and Twitter too whereas I know I have limits on how much I can pay attention to.”
John continues:
“I look back at my aerospace side of things, and I’m like, ‘I did not go all-in on that.’ I did not commit myself at a level that it would’ve taken to be successful there. And it’s a weird thing having a discussion with him. He’s the richest man in the world right now, but he operates on a level that is still very much in my wheelhouse on the technical side of things.”
