I love that every other post in my @facebook feed is an ad...

Did you know Grok has its own app? I just learned about it too

I think for colleges to remain relevant in the age of AI, they are going to have to go from telling people what to think to teaching them how to think

[johnkruger @johnkruger]

@cb_doge Sounds like you can create a company made up of all the schools, then they own their Telecom company who then contracts out the service. Seems like it would be simple

[johnkruger @johnkruger]

@grok when will you have you own stand alone mobile app? Those who ran to Bluesky really need you 😉 😜 😘

[johnkruger @johnkruger]

@elonmusk While I like grok more, chatgpt only gives the answers based on how it has been used, so I would say this person probably leans to these answers....

[johnkruger @johnkruger]

@elonmusk Let's get Grok it's own app...

[johnkruger @johnkruger]

@elonmusk Well, I got a very different response

[johnkruger @johnkruger]

@elonmusk Maybe just start to associate these things with Epstein, and everybody will run away from it

It’s never been easier to build something no one needs.

[Eric Schwalm @Schwalm5132]

As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.

What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.

Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction—or worse.

This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s.

The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers—complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal—you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity.

I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night.

Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war.

We either recognize what we’re actually looking at—or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread.

Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore.
It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.

AI doesn’t have curiosity. It doesn’t wonder, get uneasy, or feel compelled to ask why.
It responds to prompts and patterns.

Curiosity is still human.

[johnkruger @johnkruger]

Elon Musk saying “yeah, no” is extremely Midwestern energy.
Not bragging. Not explaining. Just stating a fact and moving on.
Honestly… he might be one of us.

Seeing my son put passion into his work and share it with the world has been one of the highlights of the year. His newest video is live: https://t.co/Pq5eIk1t5f
Creation is a journey — full of learning, iteration, and courage. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it.

[johnkruger @johnkruger]

Uncomfortable truth.
The ICE shooting in Minneapolis won’t change anything. Interfering with law enforcement is a felony. She’s dead. The law is unchanged.
Protest is protected. Interference is not. Politicians will posture. Hashtags will trend. Then nothing changes.

AI can speed things up…
but it can’t automate starting.

Some days I’m full of ideas.
Some days I’m fixing tiny bugs at 1:30am.
