Elon Musk: Why isn’t there enough water in California? Grok (burning through an entire lake to generate an answer): Wokeness

I see Elon Musk has set his sights on defunding PBS, the home of Sesame Street, that rabid bastion of teaching preschoolers numbers and letters and being kind.

UK deprivation levels have risen to the highest in the 21st century, according to a landmark report. More than one in three children are now in poverty and a quarter of adults. It is a scandal - but so is the pretence that any of this is normal. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Oliver Burkeman: “Living inside the news feels like doing your duty and being a good citizen. But you can stay informed on ten minutes a day; scrolling any more than that risks becoming disempowering and paralysing, and certainly eats up time you could have spent making a difference.”
