Hey @grok , I don’t have time to read this whole post by Trump. Summarize his post in one sentence for me.

The latest Truth Social post from the president of the United States.
Screenshot of a very long Truth Social post by Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump), shrunk into a thin strip in the center of a gray card. The text reads: Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Let’s talk about this COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSER, Bill Maher. He’s got a Low Rated Show on equally Low Rated HBO, which was once, long ago, a Network of Quality and Excitement — But that’s all gone. It’s not “HOT” anymore! Maher’s friend and business associate, Chuck LaBella, was also a friend of mine, worked on The Top Hit Show, The Apprentice, as a “gofer” and, because of the success of that show, Number One and Top Rated on many weeks, with the Finale’ being among the Top Shows of the Year, he was automatically and quickly brought up through the Ranks of NBC, along with everyone else associated with that Historic “Happening.” The Success of the Apprentice was so great that everyone partook — It built many careers, and that is a wonderful thing.

If something is after the mass, it should be AFTER the mass. If everyone is expected to stay and participate, then saying it's "after the mass" is a bogus technicality—it's part of the mass. If it's part of the mass, then "Therefore no other person, even if he be a priest, may add, remove, or change anything in the liturgy on his own authority."

It really is remarkable how everything is conspiring to shortchange kids and make education worse. Employers need to get together to create something like the SAT, not to flatter people, but to understand who's educated and who's not.

The reading comprehension of the SAT has now been reduced to tweet-size passages. I would have scored so much higher on the test if this was standard! Moral: do not compare 2026 SAT scores to those of Millennials+. You're kid's high score just became less impressive.

As I said, I don't think it's the right term. But, no, God is not male in Christian theology. Jesus' human nature is male, but God is no more male than he is 33 and brown-haired. Your point about the Spirit is simply wrong. In Hebrew the Spirit is "she," in Greek the Spirit is neuter—Greek's third grammatical gender. The pronoun used in Greek is αὐτό—"it" or "they," take your pick. It's only "he" in English.

Yes. The people who minimize AI bio risk ("Ackshually, viruses are really hard", "Ackshually, AI doesn't have the data to make bioweapons", etc.) are TRYING TO GET YOU AND ALL OF YOUR DESCENDANTS KILLED

I agree about the former, yes. They are different. But, fwiw, the Spirit is feminine in Hebrew and neuter in Greek. I only know Greek and how pronouns work in it, but Paul uses neuter pronouns (it or they, take your pick!) to refer to the Spirit, not he. In either case, God has no gender.
