Congratulations to @EWG on many years of hard work leading to this historic achievement! This wouldn't have happened without you. We shouldn't have to worry about what's in our drinking water. These new protections are a big step forward.

A new study points to musk ambrette, a chemical in fragrances, as a potential trigger for early puberty in girls. Even low-level exposure may disrupt hormones. 🧴⚠️ #EWG #Health ewg.org/news-insights/…

Another very cool example of how AI is about to change everything: There's a petition on Care2.com to ban puppy mills (on behalf of North Shore Animal League America ). I dropped a link to the petition into Google's new NotebookLM tool, and it auto-generated a podcast with two people talking about

My Take: Grok is seriously under appreciated. No one is talking about it, and it's really really good. X has access to real time data, links to the latest news/research, and its image creation is as good or better than Midjourney. And this model wasn't even built with Elon's
