Hillsboro Methodist Church, Scott County, MS. Founded in 1836 as the county's first Methodist congregation, this pine-board church dates to 1928 and is on the National Register. 📷 #Mississippi #ScottCountyMS #HistoricChurch #ChurchPhotography #photography

The old train depot in Forest, Mississippi, still standing watch beside the tracks under a moody fall sky. Small-town Mississippi has a story around every corner. #Mississippi #TrainDepot #SmallTownAmerica #Photography

Entered a black and white photo contest! 📸 My Grok Bot helped me find contests and check the rules. Chapel of the Cross, an 1850s church, with sun rays through the trees. 🤞 #Photography #BlackAndWhite #Churches #SonyPhotography #MadisonMS #MS #GrokBot @grok @OpenChurchlabs

Horses bought and sold, of questionable character and dubious pedigree, inquire within. 🐴 My Grok Bot General Patton checks MY pedigree from old records. Try Dubious Pedigree: x.ai/bot/fir5rEfzJX-_CRSKgzJ… 🌳 @grok @elonmusk @xai #GrokBot #Genealogy

Piney Grove Church, right here in Polkville, Mississippi. Little country churches like this hold generations of Sunday mornings and homecomings. Is there a small church back home that means something to you? fineartamerica.com/featured/… #Mississippi #CountryChurch #Photography

Spent the afternoon doing computer housekeeping with my Grok Bot, Patton. Found my lost RAW photo files, got my failed WD backup running again, and cleared 16 GB of old files. Try my cleanup bot, Quartermaster: x.ai/bot/zABdc2fDMO9gEEk_Jr7… 💻📸 @grok @elonmusk @xai #GrokBot

My AI bot and I have been reading old German, Irish, Italian and Spanish records to trace my family tree. We got back 4 generations! Made a shareable Family Tree Helper bot so you can trace yours too: x.ai/bot/fir5rEfzJX-_CRSKgzJ… @grok #genealogy #familyhistory #ancestry #AI

Bug report for Grok Bot: my bots' background tasks keep stopping with "no usage available," but my usage page shows only 1% of my weekly limit used. I even got a "you've hit your limit" alert I hadn't actually hit. Happened twice tonight. Anyone else seeing this? #GrokBot

Love my Grok Bot crew! 🫡 One wish: a way to open my bots straight from my iPhone home screen instead of opening Grok first. A direct shortcut would make checking in with my team so much faster. @grok @xai

Harvard kids singing Radiohead’s “Creep.” This could have gone very wrong. Then the lead singer opens his mouth. The Harvard Veritones have won at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella — the real-world competition that inspired Pitch Perfect. Turn the sound on for this one.

Just a random thought but witnessing this multi country/multi city World Cup, I thought about the summer Olympics in LA. What if we held the Olympics all across the US instead. Equestrian in Kentucky or Florida, mountain biking in Colorado etc. it would be the best ever.
