Hey @grok what do we know about the driver of the vehicle and what caused this? Three people are now dead after a car hits them and runs off the road in North Hollywood, California.

Hey @grok which GOP senators voted to keep John Thune as Leader? Everybody needs to take note of this response and which senators continue to betray their country by supporting this man. Clearly, they didn’t get the message last week that the American people and conservatives are done with them! It’s time to clean house.

SHE PHOTOGRAPHED HIS TAG WHILE HE SAID HE WAS BROKEN DOWN!! Was she right to document a parked stranger on her street, or should she have asked first? A delivery driver asks a woman why she is taking pictures of him and his tag. He says he is broken down and delivering packages. She tells him she does not care and is taking pictures anyway. I get why a car sitting on a quiet street puts people on edge. Noticing something off is not the same as starting a fight, and that is how we'd put it to our boys. Photographing a license plate in public is legal. Asking if someone is okay, or if they need a tow, is the neighborly version of the same instinct. He hopped out and pressed her on it, and she doubled down instead of explaining. We want our boys to ask a question before they film a stranger. We also would not want them hopping out of a broken-down car to argue with someone walking down their own street. Both of them could have lowered the temperature: she could have said the car had been sitting, and he could have stayed put and waited for help. If you are worried, ask. If you are stuck, say so.

SHE OFFERED THE TWENTY BACK, SO WHY WAS SHE STILL ARGUING?? Press charges over a $20 tip jar, or let it go once she offered to pay it back? On police bodycam, servers tell an officer a woman took roughly $20 out of their tip jar and that the cameras caught it. The woman denies it, says she's being treated like she had a gun, and then offers $20 to make it go away. I'd press it, and I don't say that lightly. Tips aren't loose change on a counter. That's part of somebody's rent. Taking it from people working on their feet all day is about as low as small-time theft gets. What jumps out to my wife and me is the offer to pay it back while still saying she didn't do it. You can't have it both ways. In our house, the rule is you own it first and then you make it right, not the other way around. To be fair to her, it's $20 and a criminal record is heavy. If she'd apologized on the spot, I could see the servers taking the money and moving on. And the servers say her daughter was acting as a lookout, which we can't confirm from the clip, so that part is their claim. Owning it would have cost her a lot less than twenty bucks.

HIT A TOW TRUCK AND JUST DRIVE OFF?? Did the tow driver handle it right by filming everything, or should he have called it in and stayed out of it? A tow driver says these people hit his truck and took off without giving any insurance or contact info. He catches up with them, with the airbag blown and the front end wrecked, and gets it all on camera. He did exactly what I'd want to do. Stay calm, record everything and don't let the story change later. If you hit someone and leave, you've made it a lot worse than a fender bender. The other driver now has to prove what happened while you hope it goes away. As parents, this is one we'll walk our boys through someday when they start driving. You hit something, you stop. You hand over your info, you call it in and you check on everybody. Running is the only choice that guarantees you're the bad guy. People do panic after a crash, and one of the guys in the car looks shaken up. Shock is real. Still, panic explains the first thirty seconds, not leaving the scene. Stop, swap info, and own it.

Hey @grok what was the findings of the House panel looking into Trump‘s implication in Jeffrey Epstein‘s crimes? I can’t believe we’re still discussing this specific aspect of Epstein in 2026. You know just as well as I do that if there was actual evidence of crime that the Democrats would’ve exposed it a long time ago. Stop wasting tax dollars with this nonsense.

HE PARKED IN A PRIVATE NEIGHBORHOOD, THEN SAID HE WAS WITH THE TOWNSHIP?? Does working for the township get you a pass, or was the resident right to treat this like any other car that does not belong there? A resident asks a parked driver why he is hanging around a private neighborhood. The driver says he is with a township and that the resident is outside his own jurisdiction, and neither side backs down. Private streets are one of the few places where "I can park wherever I want" usually fails. If you buy into a neighborhood that controls its own roads, that is part of what you are paying for, and our kids should grow up knowing a private street is not the same thing as a public curb. The twist is the township claim. Even if he really works for local government, that does not automatically turn a private road into his personal parking lot. A badge is not a guest pass. I cannot tell from this video whether he is on duty, off duty, or just name-dropping the township to win an argument. Both of them could have lowered the temperature. The parking question is simple: are you allowed to be there or not? Dragging rank into it only makes people dig in. Private property does not care what department is on your shirt.

THEY GOT THE $800 HAIR AND WALKED OUT ON THE BILL?? Stylist doing the right thing, or should she have let it go? A group leaves a salon after the work is done, and the stylist follows them outside with her camera rolling. The text on the video says the mother refused to pay an $800 bill and it ended with police involved. I only know what the clip shows and what the uploader says, so I won't pretend I know how it ended. But hair at that level is hours of somebody's skilled work. That's her rent and her time. Following them out and keeping the camera on instead of putting her hands on anybody is how you protect yourself. As parents, we'd want our kids to understand that walking out on a bill is just stealing with better hair. Pay the people who work for you.

PARK ON MY DRIVEWAY AND YOU'RE STAYING FOR THE WHOLE GAME!! Petty genius, or did the homeowner just pick a fight with the whole street over one parking spot? A guy parks on a stranger's driveway to go watch the 3:00 kickoff at the neighbor's house. The homeowner blocks him in with his own car and calmly tells him through the window that it's his driveway and he's not moving it. I'm on the homeowner's side here, and I think most people who own a driveway would be. That spot is the one piece of the street he actually pays for. Families plan their whole day around being able to pull in and out, so somebody treating it as free overflow parking for a watch party would test me too. What I like is that he never loses his cool. No yelling, no threats, just "this is my driveway" on repeat. That's the version of petty I'd want our boys to learn if they ever have to stand their ground: calm, clear and boring. On the guest's side, a knock on the door and an apology probably fixes this in two minutes, and locking someone in can backfire if there's an emergency. Some of this also looks like it could be set up for the camera, so take it with a grain of salt. Ask first, and you'd probably have gotten to park there.

THE WINDOW REFUSED HER LARGE BILL, THEN ANOTHER WORKER SAID THEY TAKE THEM?? Was the crew right to protect the drawer, or should a customer with a large bill be able to pay like anybody else? A UK McDonald's drive-thru refuses a large bill, saying they've been getting too many fakes. Then another worker says they do accept those notes, they're just low on change. Nobody wants to be the restaurant that eats a counterfeit, and I do not blame a crew for being careful when fake notes are going around. We'd rather a window slow the line than end the night with a drawer full of worthless paper. The problem is the mixed message. One person says no, another says yes but we are short on change, and the customer is sitting there looking like the problem. If the restaurant accepts that bill as a rule, the window should know the rule. If it does not, say so before the food is bagged and waiting. That is a business knowing its own cash policy and applying it the same way every time, and it is the part they got wrong here. Pick a rule and stick to it. The customer should not have to negotiate legal tender at a speaker box.

YOU DON'T HOLD THE DRIVER'S PAY HOSTAGE OVER YOUR PORCH!! Was the driver right to stop at the door, or should she have just carried the groceries in for an older customer? A Spark driver drops a Walmart order at the door and asks for the delivery code. The customer wants the bags brought inside, won't give the code, and says she'll report the driver before finally handing it over. I'm with the driver on this one. That code is how she gets paid, and from what I understand the job is a doorstep drop. Withholding it to force extra unpaid labor is using somebody's paycheck as leverage, and in our house that's a line no matter how frustrated you are. Now, if the customer had simply asked nicely and the driver had the time, carrying a few bags in for an older woman is the kind thing to do. As parents, we'd want the boys to offer that help without being asked. But kindness you're bullied into isn't kindness anymore. It's a shakedown. To be fair, we don't know her situation. If she physically can't lift them, that's real, and there are delivery options built for that. Threatening the driver's job isn't one of them. Ask for help. Don't hold the code hostage.

THE SPINNING KICKS LOOKED GREAT UNTIL THE OTHER GUY STARTED THROWING ONE-TWOS!! Who won this one, the flashy kicker or the guy who just kept it simple? Two teenagers agree to square off in a bathroom, touching hands first. One throws high kicks and spinning kicks. The other ignores the show and keeps walking him down with basic punches until it fizzles out. The internet is calling this a bully getting humbled by a quiet kickboxer, but that's not what the footage shows. Both boys agreed to this, and nobody got ambushed. What it does show is something worth talking about: the flashy moves lost to the fundamentals almost every time. The kid in the hoodie spent his energy on kicks that looked like a movie. The other kid kept his hands up, stayed patient, and threw the simple stuff. That's true well beyond fighting. In school, at work and in sports, the boring basics done well usually beat the highlight reel. As parents, my wife and I would also be asking where the adults were. A school bathroom full of phones recording a fight is how somebody gets seriously hurt, and kids going viral for it is not the win they think it is. If our boys ever want to learn to throw hands, it will be at a real gym with a real coach and gloves on. Learn the fundamentals. Keep the fighting in the gym.

SHE LECTURED HIM AT THE PUMP, THEN PUT HER HANDS ON HIS CAR!! Was she right to say something about the environment, or did she lose the argument the second she touched his vehicle? A woman walks up on a man pumping gas, lectures him about the planet and keeps putting her hands on his car. When it gets sharper, she tells him maybe he should not have kids. You can care about the environment without treating a stranger's fill-up like your personal TED Talk. People are allowed to buy gas and drive their families around. What they are not required to do is stand there and take a sermon from someone who walked up uninvited. The hands on the car are the line. Once you start smacking somebody's vehicle, you have left speech and entered something that can turn into a real problem in a parking lot. And telling a man he maybe should not have kids is an ugly thing to say to anyone. It may be partly performed for views. Even if it is real, that is not a conversation we would want anyone starting next to our car. Say your piece if you must, keep your hands to yourself, and leave a stranger's family out of it. Disagree with the car. Do not put your hands on it.

SHE MADE THE PIZZA WORKER CRY, AND ANOTHER CUSTOMER STEPPED IN?? Was the customer right to confront her, or did jumping into somebody else's pizza order go too far? An older woman in a pizza shop is accused of making a young worker cry over an order that wasn't ready. Another customer gets in her face, and the staff end up refunding her and refusing to serve her. If someone really talked to a young worker like that over a late pizza, I understand why another adult stepped in. That is not how we would handle a late order, birthday or not. Paying for food does not buy you the right to make somebody's shift miserable. The crying part comes from text on the screen, not something we watch happen. What we do watch is the filmer unloading personal insults, and that is where she loses me a little. You can defend a worker without calling a stranger names about her age or her body. That turns a principle into a pile-on and gives the other side an easy way to change the subject. The shop made the clean decision: refund the money and decline the service. That is how a business protects its people without turning the lobby into a fight club. Defend the worker. Do not turn it into a personal roast.

THEY WERE FILMING THEMSELVES, AND THE MANAGER THREW THEM OUT?? Does a restaurant have the right to shut down cameras and refuse service, or did this manager handle it too hard? At a Red Robin in Bakersfield, a manager tells a couple there's no filming allowed, refuses them service and says security will walk them out. They say they were only recording themselves. A private restaurant is not a public sidewalk. If the manager does not want cameras in the dining room, that is their house, and they can ask you to put the phone down or leave. I would not want our boys treating a dinner out like content once the staff has asked them to stop. That does not mean every manager needs to turn it into a scene. Plenty of people film their food, a birthday, or themselves laughing at the table. A calm "please no video" is usually enough. Refusing service and calling security is a bigger hammer, and you can see why they feel singled out if they were only pointing the camera at their own group. I come down on the business's side on the rule and a little sideways on the temperature. You do not have a constitutional right to a burger and a ring light. You also do not have to humiliate people on the way to the door. If they ask you to stop filming, stop, or take your business somewhere that wants it.

THEY DROVE HOURS, THEN REFUSED THE ROOM THE HOTEL HAD READY?? Should the desk have found them something else, or was the guest out of line for rejecting the room after showing up? At a UK hotel desk after a long drive, a guest refuses the family-sized room he's offered and mentions his wife is pregnant. The clerk sticks with what the system shows and won't get a manager. I get why this feels personal after a long trip. You are tired, you want the room you thought you booked, and "family-sized" can sound like a rollout couch and a prayer. As parents, it is easy to picture that worn-out feeling at a desk, hoping somebody on the other side still sees a person and not a confirmation number. The clerk is not inventing the reservation out of spite, though. If that is the room attached to the booking, she cannot magic up one that does not exist, and refusing to drag a manager out for a guest who will not take the assigned room is not cruelty. It is a system doing what a system does. I cannot confirm the pregnancy or what was actually reserved. Travel days go better when both sides stay adults. Ask clearly for what you booked, and if it is not there, ask what the options are. A scene at the desk rarely produces a better key. The booking is the booking. Volume does not change it.

Why do these people feel like they don’t have to follow the rules for everybody else? “ I’m not going to save anybody. If something happens, I’m going to save myself.” Cool. Then you’re not sitting in the exit row. She refused to deplane, police got involved, and the entire flight had to get off so she could be removed. Rules aren’t suggestions. Another case of dinndu nuffin.
