"...Mr. Musk and his artificial intelligence company, xAI, have tweaked the chatbot to make its answers more conservative on many issues, according to an analysis of thousands of its responses by The New York Times. The shifts appear, in some cases, to reflect Mr. Musk’s political priorities."
I'm just going to keep noting that the owner and operator of Twitter -- the social media that too many politicians and pundits use to determine what's "normal" -- keeps on pushing the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory that has been the motivation for multiple mass shootings in this country.

I think it was extremely brave of Coco to make the change she did right before a Slam. Says to me that she’s playing the long game, as she should at her age and with all that talent and competitive fire.
Osaka d. Coco Gauff 6-3 6-2 Incredible. Naomi reaches her first Grand Slam QF in 1658 days. That’s 4 & a half years. It’s also her first one as a mom. ✅3rd US Open QF ✅5th Slam QF There are no words to describe how much she’s grown as a player. Welcome back. 🇯🇵❤️
Naomi Osaka after beating Coco Gauff at the U.S. Open “I’m a little sensitive and I don’t want to cry but I had so much fun out here. I was in the stands 2 months after I gave birth to my daughter watching Coco.. I really wanted an opportunity to come out here and play.“ 🥹
Coco 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

The forehand to forehand match up against Osaka is too tough.

I think fans are going to need to create their own “skies” for sports and teams, like #knickssky, which has been great fun. It sadly doesn’t help that the teams are still very active on X, and that the athletes get most of their engagement there and on Insta.
Thank goodness
It’s also that sports is one of the best use cases for a social media platform because of its live/real-time content, and folks are passionate about it
It wasn’t his Dad — the player made it up to the boy by meeting with his actual family and giving him a hat. Seeing what you want to see doesn’t make it so…
Coco Gauff reached the 2nd week of a Grand Slam for the 16th time The only American woman with more 2nd week Slam appearances before age 22 is Venus Williams (Open Era) 1. Venus Williams - 17 2. Coco Gauff - 16 3. Serena Williams, Chris Evert, Mary Joe Fernandez - 15 🇺🇸❤️
ABSOLUTELY 🧡💙

The lack of sports content is also a big miss — but almost none of the major leagues or teams post here
Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

Interesting nugget in Lisa Cook's lawsuit against Donald Trump: The entire Fed Board, and Jay Powell, in their respective professional capacities are also defendants. It looks like she's doing that because the relief that she seeks includes restraining the Fed Board from terminating her.

Ostapenko is absolutely unhinged most of the time on the court. For her to have ANYTHING to say about another player is ridiculous. LET’S GO TT!! 💫🎾
Ostapenko is one of the worst behaved players you will EVER see on the tour. The nerve of her is pure insanity.
This was INSANE coming from Ostapenko, a drama queen for the AGES. Let’s go Taylor!!! 💫🎾
