he day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. Happens now. Go. Oh, so good. So good. All right. Well, I wonder, is there any scientific study that maybe they could have saved a little time on, saved a little money by just asking me? Oh, here's one. According to the Public Library of Science, there's a study that was done that shows that emoji use may improve r…
← Previous segment →ers behind the paywall on either Locals.com or here on X, if you're watching on X, you would know that Asok the intern is being deported to Albania, even though he has no connection to Albania. But he will get due process. You will get due process. The due process will happen at Alligator Alcatraz. So that's what you're missing. That's today's Sunday comic. Asok is getting deported.
Anyway, Grok has now been officially updated, and it's being called Super Grok. And I decided to do a little test on Super Grok. Yep, there it is. And the test was, there was a little mystery that I'd been having that was making me feel like I might be insane.
Have you heard Elon Musk? He said this a number of times on X. He said, "The most entertaining outcome is the most likely." How many of you have seen Elon Musk say that? He said it again today.

How many of you remember in 2015 I wrote a blog post called Clown Genius, and it was a reframe of Trump from being this clown who was running for president. Nobody took him seriously. And I wrote that viral blog post called Clown Genius in which I explained, oh, you have no idea what's coming. This is not a clown. This is a clown genius, and he kno

ws how to use all of these tools. And I predicted he would become your next president. That was 2015. According to Super Grok, and I'd forgotten this entirely, that in that 2015 blog post I wrote, quote, "When it comes to politics, the most entertaining outcome is the most likely. Trump is the clown genius who knows it." So that's the first time I said it. And it was also the first thing I ever s…
