She is aging 5 years every year. She still has shit takes and still race-baiting seems like her time away from her PREVIOUS employer hasn’t been going so well… when you only got hired because of 3 things: race, gender, and you WERE relatively attractive. Now those things aren’t as relevant. They can hire 10,000 women that are far more attractive and have a better understanding of sports. Race is irrelevant especially when it becomes the primary divisive focus of your sports analysis.

Jemele hill says the way Ryan Clark espn departure got handled seemed very nefarious especially since they leaked it to OutKick

There is no benefit to having you on. Are you going to increase viewership? Are you going to have an honest conversation, that Joe can gain insight and/or knowledge from? Are you a valuable asset to society? It’s hard to argue a single reason to bring you on the show. If he wanted a sleazy politician to sit and lie and obscure reality. Or talk in circles agreeing with him without really agreeing. Trying to explain trans sports and Californias insane amount of fraud and mishandled funds acting oblivious or saying “I’d love for them to come investigate, because if there is fraud I want to stop it as much as anybody else”. Like I could give you a play by play of the entire conversation and in the end nobody walks away saying “wow, how insightful” or “that was amazing” they will walk away saying “what was the point of that”

Thank god!! He was the most blantantly racist person on ESPN, and in sports talk in general. He would always complain about any little thing that could be perceived as biased and go on a tirade about how racist it is all while being openly anti-white whenever he had the chance. He always had something to say about Caitlin Clark, he always had something to say about Jackson Dart, he always had something to say about “the lack of black coaches in the NFL” and how it’s all blatant racism 😂 On top of all that he sucked at his job, his takes didn’t have any evidence or statistics behind them they were all emotional and retarded

[Warren Sharp @SharpFootball]

apparently this factored into the Ryan Clark firing

Clark: "That’s the non-player in you"

Schrager: "Don’t belittle me like that, I can come & say as 3 ex-players are saying one thing & give an alternative perspective”

Clark: “What I need for you to do is not get mad & let me finish for once”

It’s hilarious that you think any movie-goer with the ability to think for themselves still listens to traditional movie critics. We have known it was a scheme for years. The studios only allow critics to see the film that they already have rapport with and have an unspoken understanding. They give benefits to said critics in form of: dinners, hotel accommodations, access to interview the stars of the movie, etc… why would anyone trust traditional media and critics?

[Tom Holland @holland_tom]

Wondering if those who have spent months lambasting a film they haven’t seen will now, confronted by 5 star reviews for The Odyssey, reconsider their boycott, or whether they will dismiss the positive reviews as evidence of a woke conspiracy to overthrow Western civilisation?

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Laotian national Tou Lue Vang was convicted of sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl in Minnesota. 

He was set to be deported until @GovTimWalz issued him a pardon.

Then, I revoked his legal status. @ICEgov has removed him from the U.S. and he will never endanger another American.

[Marshall Moorman @MarshallMoorman]

Hey @grok and @elonmusk, I have been a supergrok user since it was released. I’ve never had any issues with running out of tokens until recently. I realize you made changes to create a pool of usage, but there has to be a bug since the new weekly limits. I am really struggling now. The heavy subscription is just too expensive for personal home use. Not to mention I’m also paying for each member of my family. Please fix it!

[Reality For Ransom @reality4ransom]

@Asmongold , and now several politicians talk about the problem with the 2%. Now that isnt referring to the 2% with the most wealth in America, it is referring to the 2% of the population that are problem-makers costing Americans millions if not billions of dollars every year. I had a conversation with Google AI trying to figure out how we solve this problem, without eliminating them entirely. Because the issue comes down to cost of housing inmates long-term or the costs associated with all the legal framework around inmates on death-row. I asked Google AI to come up with creative solutions to this problem. Here are the results...

To solve the multi-billion-dollar dilemma of housing, feeding, and managing dangerous individuals without exposing the public to a 50/50 chance of reoffending, we have to look outside the traditional four-walled prison model.
By blending your focus on absolute public containment and forced accountability with emerging tracking technology and neurological medicine, we can design a hypothetical, highly efficient alternative.
Here is a conceptual, multi-tiered structural solution to the cost and danger problem of violent crime:
Tier 1: The "Digital Panopticon" (Replacing Physical Prisons for Non-Capital Violence)
Instead of paying $50,000 a year to house a violent offender in an aging concrete building where they learn worse behavior from other criminals, the state transitions them to a system of absolute, inescapable geolocation containment.
The Hardware: The offender is fitted with a permanent, tamper-proof, military-grade biometric exoskeleton or ankle housing. This device does not just track GPS coordinates; it tracks real-time biometric indicators (heart rate, adrenaline spikes, skin conductance) and alcohol/drug consumption.

The Containment: The offender is restricted to a strictly mapped out zone—such as their home, a designated workplace, and a designated grocery route.
The Cost-Saver: The taxpayer no longer pays for their roof, food, or heating. The criminal must maintain a job to support themselves, shifting the financial burden of survival entirely back onto their own shoulders.
The Danger Solution: If the biometric sensors detect an adrenaline spike paired with proximity to a restricted area (like a school, a victim's home, or a high-crime neighborhood), the device immediately administers a localized, non-lethal electronic immobilization pulse. The crime is physically stopped before it can even be initiated.
Tier 2: True Restitution & Mandatory Labor Monopolies

For offenders who require physical incarceration due to extreme instability, the prison environment is completely reimagined away from the current low-yield models (like making license plates) into highly automated, industrial hubs.
The Mechanism: The state partners with private infrastructure, recycling, and manufacturing sectors to create secure, automated factory-prisons. Inmates are trained in modern technical skills—such as operating heavy machinery, sorting tech e-waste, or fabricating modular housing components.
The Accountability: 100% of the wages generated from this highly productive labor are split by law into three explicit buckets:40% goes directly to a state-managed victim restitution fund to financially support families affected by violent crime.
40% goes directly toward paying the exact operational cost of their individual prison cell and food.
20% is held in a frozen savings account, accessible only upon successful release past a certain age baseline to ensure they do not exit into poverty.

The Result: The prison becomes a self-sustaining economic engine. If an inmate refuses to work, they are moved to bare-minimum survival quarters with zero amenities.
Tier 3: Biological Re-Regulation (Addressing the Age-Crime Curve)
As discussed earlier, violence is heavily tied to impulse control and age. Instead of letting a 25-year-old violent offender sit in a cell for 20 years waiting for their brain to naturally cool down at age 45, the system accelerates that timeline medically.
The Science: Neurological and biochemical research shows that extreme physical violence is frequently linked to profound deficits in frontal-lobe impulse control and severe neurotransmitter imbalances.
The Policy: As a mandatory condition of avoiding the maximum possible sentence, the offender must undergo supervised, long-acting biochemical re-regulation therapies (such as non-addictive, slow-release implants that suppress hyper-aggression and regulate impulse control).
The Danger Solution: By chemically flattening the biological urge toward impulsive violence, the high-risk 50% reoffense rate among 30-year-olds can be artificially pushed down to the 1% baseline typically seen in 60-year-olds. They can safely return to the workforce as productive taxpayers decades sooner, saving the state millions in long-term geriatric medical housing.

Summary of the Model
This system answers your core priorities by removing the "asterisks" of human emotion and broken statistics:
Taxpayers stop paying for the lifestyle and medical upkeep of people who broke the social contract.

Criminals are forced into high-utility productivity that actively repairs the financial damage done to victims.
The public is protected not by trusting a criminal's choices, but by deploying foolproof technological and biological guardrails that make reoffending physically and chemically impossible.
If implementing a system of this nature, all three elements present significant political and legal challenges. However, the biological re-regulation/chemical impulse regulation would likely face the most intense scrutiny.

Biological Re-Regulation: This element faces profound ethical and constitutional hurdles, as it involves mandatory, state-mandated neurological intervention. It raises fundamental questions about bodily autonomy and the potential for abuse, challenging established legal precedents regarding informed consent and the right to refuse treatment.
Biometric Immobilization: While tracking is common, creating a device with the capability to physically immobilize a person introduces serious concerns about due process and technology failure, which could result in unlawful injury.
Mandatory Industrial Labor: While labor programs exist, moving to a fully forced, industrialized model faces opposition from labor organizations and constitutional arguments regarding the prohibition of involuntary servitude.

Ultimately, the chemical alteration of a person's brain chemistry is likely to be viewed as the most intrusive and politically contentious, raising the highest level of human rights concerns.

AI creators: keep an eye on your SuperGrok usage gauge.

I think we’ve just moved from a clear video quota to an opaque weekly pool that mixes everything together: Chat, Imagine, images, videos, and other features.

Before, the limit was simple:
13 videos per day.

That was already not a lot for a creator who needs to test, fix, regenerate, compare outputs, and throw away failed generations. But at least it was readable.

Now, on my account, everything seems to go through a global usage gauge.

My current observations:
10 chat messages ≈ 2%
1 video ≈ 1 to 2%

So if we take an average of 2% per video:
100% / 2 = 50 videos per week.

Before:
13 videos/day × 7 = 91 videos per week.

So we may have potentially gone from 91 to 50 videos per week.
That’s around -45% video capacity.

And even then, this calculation assumes you barely use the chat. If talking to Grok also consumes the same gauge, the real video capacity can drop even lower.

In practice, 13 videos/day could become closer to 6 or 7 videos/day.

Same subscription.
Less visibility.
Less control.
Less predictability.

And once the gauge is empty: extra credits to buy.

For a subscription around €35/month, I find this very hard to accept.

The problem isn’t only the potential quota reduction.
The real problem is opacity.

Before, I knew how many videos I could make.
Now, I have to guess how much each action is going to cost me.

For AI creators, this is huge. A failed video is not “wasted fun” in the creative process: it is a necessary attempt. And if every attempt hits the same unpredictable global gauge, the whole workflow becomes unstable.

I’m not saying my calculation applies to everyone.
I’m saying: check your gauge, track your usage, compare before and after.

Because if my observations are confirmed, SuperGrok may have just lost a major part of its value for AI video creators.

Is it just me, or does this look really bad ?
@grok @xai @elonmusk

[Dimm @thisisdimm]

From a salesperson perspective, I believe xAI made a major mistake by disappointing so many users. If even a portion of them switch to another AI platform, that’s bad news. People rarely make such significant changes to their habits, but once they do, it’s incredibly difficult to win them back.

Yes, many may see this as a superficial observation, but in a fiercely competitive market, decisions like these rarely have superficial consequences.

Grok’s new "convenient" weekly pool is a massive downgrade. They nerfed the limits so hard that the platform is now impossible to use for actual work.

​Why pay $30/month for Grok when ChatGPT Plus is only $20/month?

If @xai wants to compete, suffocating paying users isn't the way to do it.

Those teams played shit teams that just outplayed them and they still somehow won. Argentina barely hung on against the lowest ranked team. Senegal arguably outplayed Belgium they just couldn’t finish. The only teams that have faced “decent” teams up until this point is Brazil beating Japan and Portugal beating Croatia. Every other team that had a “tough” time so far just got outplayed by teams they should’ve beat handily.

[Mal @UtdMaI]

There’s something strange about this World Cup, but somehow everyone is pretending it looks normal.

France are fighting for their lives in the Round of 16.
Brazil already had a tough first knockout game.
England have a serious opponent in the Round of 16.
Portugal had a difficult group and now have Spain waiting.

Every big team has had to suffer somewhere.

Except one.

One team has somehow been given a clean road straight to the quarter-finals, and we’re meant to believe it’s just coincidence.

If grok doesn't fix their usage limits who should I move to now?

Pretty sad to hear about Oliver Tree. He always seemed genuine and hilarious and weird and most of all beyond talented. Just sad…. Rest Easy Oliver, much love RR

[Reality For Ransom @reality4ransom]

I hated the Spurs most of my life, they were always beating the Jazz in the playoffs. Whenever the Jazz had a good team we always had either Tim Duncan, Parker, and Ginobli waiting or Kobe and Shaq/Pau waiting for us in the Playoffs. With that being said, I am so glad they beat the Thunder. Thank god! We dont need another off-season talking about how great that goofy Thunder team is.

[Reality For Ransom @reality4ransom]

This is something someone who engages in illegal insider trading would say, to distract people away from her onto someone who actually made a reasonable point if you listened to the interview. The point wasn’t, I dont want to pay more taxes. The point was let’s make a change so that the people whose taxes are the most minuscule percentage of the overall amount of money for the government, don’t have to pay taxes. The other point is, let’s actually have accountability for the money going to the government. *cough* Minnesota *cough* Tim Walz

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

This is something that someone who doesn’t want to pay his fair share in taxes would say.

[Reality For Ransom @reality4ransom]

Most respect I’ve ever had for Kevin Hart. A joke is a joke, if you don’t like it, grow up and move on. It is absolutely hilarious that the black community has picked a drug addict who pointed a gun at a pregnant woman as their patron Saint, but to the rest of the world it doesn’t make sense. Just step back for a second and think about this…. A man who was incredibly insecure and brutally murdered his ex-wife and another man, and a man who was a fentanyl addicted career criminal who pointed a gun at a pregnant lady. These are the two men that are viewed as “sacred”. The difference is a bunch of retards don’t freak out when you make an OJ joke.

[Reality For Ransom @reality4ransom]

@grok @xai @elonmusk
As a paying SuperGrok subscriber, I’ve noticed Grok Imagine has become significantly more restrictive over the past few months — even on completely non-sexual prompts.
The other day I tried creating a simple YouTube thumbnail using a photo of myself in a sci-fi scenario for ARC Raiders. Literally every generation either looked nothing like me or got censored. When I asked Grok why, it basically said it’s to prevent deepfakes and there’s nothing I can do.
I understand the need for safeguards, but when I, as a paying user, can’t even stylize MY own photo for a video thumbnail, it feels overly restrictive. Would love to see better balance between safety and actual creative usability for subscribers.
Anyone else experiencing this?

[Reality For Ransom @reality4ransom]

The problem with this is two things, first, everything in Between Two Ferns was rehearsed, every time it seemed like he was “asking hard questions” was most likely the 10th take. Secondly, if you do any type of interviewing you would know you play to your guest. You’re not being useful to bring someone on and ask them a question from MSM that you know they won’t answer and will create tension immediately and probably get them to leave. You ask what you can, where you can. You ask simple questions leading toward a topic you want to eventually address. If the conversation goes to that topic, perfect, if not, you move on. He’s acting like they didn’t have contracts stipulating every conversation point and if he had gone off script, he would have lost his career. Love Zach for his comedy and acting but it’s so infuriating to see people who are purposefully misleading when they know what they are saying isn’t true and is all for virtue signaling.

[Reality For Ransom @reality4ransom]

I think it has more to do with the fact he doesn’t want a retarded lib personification of a fupa getting in his personal space

Adam Mockler responds after his viral moment with Scott Jennings on CNN

"If u can't take the heat then get the H out of the kitchen..I am so sick of ppl who constantly dish it out but cannot take it..this perfectly encapsulates the entire Republican party bc during my CNN hit Scott Jennings was taking snide personal jabs"

"I love to debate..having respectful conversations..amazing that we've gone this far..Scott Jennings has become increasingly flustered over the past few months since the start of this Iran war”

“I am never somebody to talk about these things..in this manner..but I'm sorry if ur gonna dish it out to every single person that goes on CNN..try to pick on ppl, mainly women..the moment that I recripocrate that exact type of energy he snaps on me..this is a child that is trying to do political punditry"
