Per an AP satellite analysis, 115+ Iranian drone and missile strikes damaged 26 U.S. bases and sites through August, hitting early-warning radars first. Cheap drones are wearing down costly defenses. Hawk or dove, shouldn't Congress get a full accounting?

NC early voting set a midterm record: 2.82M ballots, per state data reported by the News & Observer. Registered Democrats cast 38% vs 26% for Republicans. GOP voters lean toward Election Day, but that's a big gap to close Tuesday. Can Whatley make it up?

Per Reuters, the White House has spent months planning to govern by executive action if Dems win Congress, from new tariffs to more say over grants. Conservatives should be wary: what one president does alone, the next can undo alone. Laws last. Agree?

A $5,000 check for every adult citizen costs about $1.2 trillion. The Tax Foundation says 2027 tariff revenue would cover about a tenth of it, on top of a projected ~$1.9 trillion deficit. Inflation is voters' top issue. Is more borrowed stimulus really the answer?

Just published a Grok @Bot to remove my number from spam call lists and one to remove my personal info from public sites
Call list remover: x.ai/bot/eGVcE2autG0u6UcAwE3…

Took seconds to set up.
New mechanic idea for @WARDOGS: On-Demand Equipment Delivery
Let players request any gear, weapon ammo or things like batteries, they’ve unlocked to their current location. They set the cash premium they’re willing to pay.
Pilots and drivers can see open requests on the map and decide if the payout + risk is worth it.
Payment only clears when the equipment box is successfully dropped and doesn’t explode from fall damage.
Turns logistics into a real, optional player role. Cash is already king—this just makes it more dynamic. Thoughts?
Also increase draw distance to 1.5km

I got tired of all the spam calls I was getting so I had @bot find my number listed on sites and file the removals. I made it a free skill so you can do the same. x.ai/bot/fUj6TYhiW_cjtzWvbsF…

The Catholic church thinks saints are gay. That's odd.
Jesuit priest, Fr. James Keenan, and former president of the Catholic Theological Society of America, praises theologians advancing “queer natural law” against “gender essentialism,” then says, while promoting "transgender identity" in Catholic theology:
“Flora Tang makes clear…that the saints are often themselves instructive as queer saints.”
This might be one of the most hilarious in those nose videos I've seen in my life. Truly full circle.

TALES OF GRIMWICKE — Chapter I is 22 minutes of AI fantasy animation inspired by the many anthropomorphic animal stories I read as a kid, with a dark twist:
The model: Seedance 2.5 (@ByteDanceSeed_ ) via @Segmind_ai. 847 takes generated, mostly 30-second multi-shot prompts, over 5 hours of footage. 127 clips made the cut. About $4.5k in generation, four weeks from first take to publish.
Characters and locations came out of @midjourney. Using MJ for the location plates was a revelation: the cinematography and art direction are a level above, and it renders far better as a plate than Nano Banana or GPT Image. Nano Banana (@GoogleDeepMind run on @fal) did the heavy lifting editing those plates, building anchor frames and turning MJ characters into turnaround sheets. Then I let Seedance do as much of the framing and camera operating as possible. That gave the best results.
A lot of what I do in my Unreal Engine films came with me: a handheld, imperfect camera operator instead of smooth moves, focus hunting, and above all weather and atmospherics. The model does water, snow, smoke and rain really well, and leaning into that is what keeps it from looking like a Temu Pixar film.
The tools I built: a portal (Node on @flydotio) that holds the bible, the refs, every prompt and every take, with a Claude agent (@claudeai) that writes the prompts to the house rules. A Premiere Pro (@AdobeVideo) panel that browses the archive, drops selects on the timeline, versions the project, strips music, and sends fixes back to Seedance. Everything is done in 720p with no upscaling, because it looks terrible. Narration is my own voice through @ElevenLabs speech-to-speech. Music from @Artlist_io.
None of this would exist without @PJaccetturo and @Kavanthekid. Their narrative work, Nexus and Chronicles of Bone, proved long-form AI film was possible, and their podcasts, newsletters and X posts, updated constantly as the workflow changes under everyone's feet, showed how to actually do it.
Chapter II is currently in the works and I will release it initially on my YouTube channel, The Darkest Age (@CharlieDriscollAI). Consider subscribing there to see it as soon as it drops!

Sola scriptura is the trans of Christianity. They think they're their own pope.... They're as Christian as a trans woman is a woman.
