What Elon Musk's Version of Wikipedia Thinks About Hitler, Putin, and Apartheid
What does Elon Musk want the world to know about "white genocide theory"? Because he's been vocal about the issue in the past-- advancing the idea, for example, that Jews are pushing "hatred against whites"--I decided to search for the term on Grokipedia, the competitor to Wikipedia that Musk launched yesterday. First, the site uses just that term,, rather than, as you would see on Wikipedia and elsewhere. Just a few sentences in, Grokipedia provides the "empirical underpinnings" of this supposed campaign to eliminate white people of European descent around the world. And the site argues that conversation about this purported genocide is systematically suppressed by the media and academia, which are "prone to ideological biases favoring multiculturalism" and "relegate the theory to fringe conspiracy status despite the observable data on population trajectories."
In Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein," a Vast Vision Gets Netflixed Down to Size
In Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein," a Vast Vision Gets Netflixed Down to Size The latest reanimation of Mary Shelley's classic tale, starring Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi, is a labyrinthine tour of a filmmaker's career-long obsessions. Earlier this year, Quentin Tarantino, when asked to parse the high points of his filmography in an interview, described the two-part "Kill Bill" (2003-04) as "the movie I was born to make." He added, "I think'Inglourious Basterds' is my masterpiece, but'Once Upon a Time . . . in Hollywood' is my favorite." Might these be distinctions without a difference? I'm generally wary of artistic-birthright narratives, not least because a filmmaker of remarkable talent, consistent vision, and good fortune might well wind up with multiple candidates for the honor.

While many astronomers are convinced the object known as 3I/ATLAS will be confirmed as a comet, some scientists have said the three-mile-long visitor could be an artificially constructed craft that's maneuvering around the solar system. Scientists expect to determine which scenario is correct once they observe exactly where the object exits perihelion, saying that a noticeable shift in its trajectory tomorrow could indicate that 3I/ATLAS is artificially powered. In space travel, the most effective moment to accelerate or decelerate a spacecraft is when it is closest to a massive body. Firing the engine at this point, an effect known as the Oberth effect, produces the greatest change in speed.

Another Big Reason to Worry About Bari Weiss' Tenure at CBS News
Right now, a potential peril is at hand: the end of truth. The appointment of Bari Weiss, the former opinion writer who started the heterodox website, to lead venerable CBS News set the media world in a tizzy. Since she had no experience in television broadcast news operations, David Ellison, the CEO of Paramount Skydance, must have selected her for ideological and editorial reasons. Weiss had positioned herself as the scourge of supposedly woke and DEI-driven liberal media, presumably a stance that appealed to Ellison, the son of tech billionaire Larry Ellison, a Trump supporter who put up much of the money that financed his son's recent takeover of Paramount. Weiss' first days at the network yielded worrisome signs.
