Grok @bot is amazing and worth a try if you haven't done so yet. Yes, it's great for productivity, analysis, handling email, etc. but you can also have some fun with it!
"80s Fake Footage" by @BrandonPlantz is like a meme generator on steroids that generates both a 2-second MP4 and GIF based on a short line of text you provide and a few multiple-choice questions. I can already tell I'll be using it a lot 😁 Examples below! x.ai/bot/u1MG6utY3VGmo52GPs7…

You see what social media is doing to adults imagine what it’s doing to children’s minds

Friendly reminder that 15.2 million hunters walked into the woods this weekend. Not a single one was shot on purpose. Not a single mass shooting. It’s not the gun. It’s the people.

Just a reminder that it’s normal to drive your car until it dies, cook dinner most nights, live in a smaller home, pack your lunch, keep your phone until it stops working, buy used before buying new, make coffee at home, and wear the same clothes for years.

After 40, I decided to learn acroyoga, boxing, BJJ, guitar, and more. Not to get attention. Just to stop saying "someday."
I built a map of beginner classes for adults in San Diego.
It's not too late to start cool things. The free weekly newsletter link is in the bio.

People love to say AI films are easy to make. 😏
Ask anyone who's spent a week fighting character consistency, re-cutting a scene for the 10th time, and building the sound design from scratch.
We respect the craft and know what it takes to create with ANY tools availabe. 🤘

The City of San Diego increased spending on homeless programs by 11X in the past ten years to $110M annually but homeless counts only got worse.
On enforcement, just 48 out of over 1,100 police contacts for illegal tent encampments resulted in an arraignment.
So with programs that don’t require a change in lifestyle and enforcement without meaningful consequences, it shouldn’t be a surprise that spending on homeless programs is increasing while outcomes are not improving.
Cities have a dual responsibility: 1) connect those that want help, with temporary assistance and 2) maintain clean and safe public spaces for everyone else.
Refusing help should not grant anyone the right to violate all other laws.
The good news is that help is available to those that want it. The bad news is that the city’s current approach is enabling the problem, rather than solving it.
