Learned a new word today. You should publish this on Medium under the "Word of the Day" kicker.

Did you see what Grok said? According to Grok: "based on reports and social media discussions following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, the shooter, identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson from a 'good Christian gun-loving MAGA family,' followed Laura Loomer on X (formerly Twitter). Robinson was a vocal supporter of Donald Trump and appeared to have been influenced by far-right online rhetoric, including potential inspiration from Loomer's recent criticisms of Kirk as a 'traitor' and 'charlatan' who betrayed Trump."

I did see one of the Grok evaluations. I guess Musk hasn't had a chance yet to get his MuskBrats in for the weekend to fix the Grok algorithm. He'll address this malicious relay of facts by Monday, methinks.

Classic example of "Letters from the Front" but from the twisted side.

Excellent use of satire, Charles!

Thanks. Sadly, I've become a little twisted myself while witnessing this endless fiasco.

Charles, You didn’t miss a thing on this one - Pepe, Kampala, a hippo’s cankles, Hunter, Dear Leader’s difficulty with language, Newsom’s hair, the Illinois billionaire that’s not blowing through his future hotel kingdom inheritance, and of course the ballroom of our dreams. (Once completed and debuting its first big ball, I see many future satire possibilities referencing AC/DC’s “Big Balls”, or so he wishes.)

But alas, I won’t try to catch up on gamer catch phrases, character names, and story lines, because the U-of-tube link to Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" made it all so wonderful.

Thank you, Susan. I don't know how many people are familiar with Letters from the Front in their original form, but I tried to make it so it wouldn't matter 😕😔😅🙏
