Elon wants to add MechaHitler to your car

Welcome to Garbage Weekend. It’s the internet garbage you know and love, but in a format that’s easier to read while you wait to see if MrBeast becomes the new CEO of X, the everything app.

This week was the end of the era where "it all happens on X.” CEO Linda Yaccarino left so fast she briefly lost her blue check on the way out. Concerning, looking into this! Other X employees are beginning to reconsider the idea of posting their way to the top. It still seems to work, though — look at longtime reply guy and Hooters Guardian Nick Adams, who's been appointed by President Donald Trump as US Ambassador to Malaysia. In other news from the Everything App’s creepiest posters, the theoretically separate company xAI wants you to know they're working hard to delete all the sex-crazed Nazism and violent Will Stancil-focused rape fantasies from Grok. Soon it'll be a perfectly innocent chatbot, powered by a perfectly innocent illegal smog factory. Excited to have it as your backseat driver yet?

Oh well, here’s some fun stuff…

• Some good Dashcon 2 cosplay

• A plot twist for the smell doctor (X post)

• A good TikTok

• Mario kart 64(マリオカート64) texture match (X post)

• The Mamdani Times

• Dan Deacon sang the National Anthem at an Orioles game (X post)

• The perfect beach day

• A basketball player’s worst nightmare (X post)

• Strapped and ready

• “I’m a clown. Donald Trump is not one of us.”

• A good quote post (X post)

• Anamanaguchi’s Batman music video is so good
