Elon Musk said that he would "fix" his AI chatbot Grok, which he thought was too liberal. Whatever he did turned Grok into a Nazi — approvingly invoking the name of Adolf Hitler and suggested the need for a second Holocaust. Here's @Gizmodo's story.

9 Sculptures You (Probably) Didn’t Know Existed
From a 50-foot Native American monument overlooking the Missouri River to a surreal hammock strung across a border fence, these sculptures push the boundaries of form, meaning, and public space. Whether constructed from stone, steel, wire, or illusion, each work defies convention — and chances are, you haven’t seen them before. Locations span from Barcelona to Philadelphia, from South Dakota plains to Turkish landscapes.

1. Melancholy — Albert György in Geneva, Switzerland
This bronze sculpture of a seated figure appears hollowed out from within, forming an arched void from chest to head. The minimalist facial features and slumped posture evoke absence and loss, using emptiness as its central element.
2. Window and Ladder – Too Late for Help — Leandro Erlich in Montevideo, Uruguay
A fragment of brick wall with a single window floats mid-air, supported by a ladder that leads nowhere. Placed in an empty lot, this illusion-based sculpture alters space and challenges logic.
3. Border Hammock — Murat Gök in Istanbul, Turkey
Two fence poles curve inward to cradle a man resting in a hammock made from the fence itself. By bending an otherwise rigid border element into a place of rest, the sculpture offers a quiet yet clever political statement.
4. Freedom — Zenos Frudakis in Philadelphia, USA
This bronze wall shows four human forms in various stages of breaking free, culminating in a fully emerged figure stepping into open space. It explores transformation and personal liberation.
5. Giant Slingshot Bench — Cornelia Konrads in Germany
A wooden bench is suspended by two long red straps tied to a massive Y-shaped branch. The setup mimics a slingshot ready to launch, blending utility with playful imagination.
6. Dignity — Dale Lamphere in Chamberlain, South Dakota, USA
Standing 50 feet tall, this stainless steel monument honors Native American women. The figure wears a star quilt composed of blue diamond shapes that shimmer in the wind.
7. The Kiss of Death — Unknown Artist in Barcelona, Spain
This marble sculpture in Poblenou Cemetery shows a skeleton with wings gently kissing the forehead of a lifeless young man. Created in 1930, it’s both romantic and haunting.
8. The Weight of Grief — Celeste Roberge in Portland, Maine, USA
A crouched human form is constructed from a metal frame filled with smooth river stones. The heavy material and posture communicate emotional burden through literal weight.
9. UMI — Daniel Popper in Lisle, Illinois, USA
This monumental figure is composed of sculpted wood and branches shaped into a female form. Her hands and body are formed by intertwining tree limbs, suggesting organic unity.More: When Street Art Meets Nature (40 Photos)

in reply to 🌴 Seph 💭 👾 • • •The image is a political cartoon depicting a truck labeled "USAID" with a handshake symbol and an American flag motif. A figure labeled "US AID" is emerging from the truck, holding a sack labeled "TAX CUTS FOR MILLIONAIRES." The figure is surrounded by a crowd of people reaching out, some holding sacks labeled "TAX CUTS FOR MILLIONAIRES" and "TAX CUTS FOR BILLIONAIRES." The figure is saying, "AID FROM MY ADMINISTRATION GOES TO THOSE WHO NEED IT THE MOST." The cartoon is signed "©2025 by Appear in eaglecartoons.com" and is attributed to "Aetter." The overall theme of the cartoon is a critique of the distribution of aid and tax cuts, suggesting that aid is being directed towards the wealthy rather than those in need.
