Grok being wrong:

The Onion does have (hilarious) print editions, but this specific "Sam Altman" piece isn't from themβ€”or any real outlet. It's a custom meme image made to look like one, floating around since at least February. Spot on for the satire though!

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as β€œVotors”

Wow. Mike Johnson only took 2 Qs during today's House R presser - he usually takes at least 4 - and neither was about Rep. Tony Gonzales. Johnson is refusing to call for Gonzales's resignation following the release of texts showing he pressured an aide who later committed suicide for sexual photos.

It is journalistic malpractice by CBS to use a debunked photo of an alleged UFO as a caption for this tweet without mentioning that it has been debunked. What a stupid era we are living through.
