Call on but won't vote for. Helpful. Congress just thoughts and prayers and concerns and oopsies and gee whizzes and stock manipulation. Let's vote.

"[D]efense companies backed by the president's sons, including Anduril, have now raked in more than $6 billion dollars in active or promised government contracts since those investments were made ... ." But, but Hunter Biden did a painting ...

Trump sons' investments have won billions in Pentagon contracts since his election
The contract for a new plant in Baltimore is the latest linked to the brothers.

I recommend the 1971 movie Joe Hill.

She absolutely Tuskegee Syphillis Study knows better. When you are somehow convinced that destruction is the righteous path.......you are "conservative".

So the conspiracy accuses doctors of following scientific, medical advice for nefarious purposes? Following Tic Toc and Facebook advice frees doctors from the conspiracy of science.

Why are most of these replies arguing here about El-Sayed's labels? Honestly, what possible difference does it make? Supporter, member, fellow traveller... He gas been running an excellent campaign. He does not seem Sinema or Fetterman-like. He ought to get elected. Sheez.

SCOTUS declared that as long as a violent coup is an official act, it is legal. I think he could also claim "Droit du Seigneur" should he still wish. (Means when he does it, it is not sexual abuse.)

Now we have a faith healing government. Guns don't kill people, doctors do.

My (freshman) son left a frat party he had been looking forward to so he could keep watch over a girl too drunk to keep up with her friends.

Polite fascism gets your book promoted on PBS. Batshit fascism gets a glow up in the NYT. Why don't we all just try to get along?

If data centers are multiplying strain on our current energy production and reversing green energy gains, then aren't you saving time while Nepal is melting?

Oh, PBS, this is why we can't take you seriously as a news source. Excellent culture and entertainment, but naive, good people on both sides, pablum rather than news.

Burning through lots of cash, and burning through the planet. Every data center is directly responsible for the next flood or fire or famine. Every single one. The economic costs are only the tip of the melted icebergs.

It is baffling that the climate threat of AI is not front of mind. AI burns a suicidal amount of oil and gas.

More AI also means blowing green energy progress. Gets to burn the planet like a real man.

The purpose of AI is to burn fossil fuels and reverse success in green energy. Enshitification is just a byproduct. We can argue over AI slop until the fires/floods come get us. Data centers keep oil and gas running the planet.

There is not much functional difference between McConnell right now and the other GOP apparatchiks.

In my life I have seen Democrats evolve to want: Lower taxes, reduced 'welfare', aim to 'eliminate the need for abortion', be pro-(big)-business, get tougher on (petty) crime, support war(s). Now "work with" AI. Sure. So many D.C. Dems are GOP with larger vocabularies.

This post from SemiAnalysis is well worth reading, to get a direct insight into how the AI industry is completely disconnected from the climate consequences of what they're doing.

I'd be more interested in reading what he thinks about the emotional range of his horse. AI is demonstratively dangerous and the data usage is environmentally inexcusable. Kinda don't care if bot love feels amazing.

Please think climate change/peril every time you think increased energy costs. Spending money to burn fossil fuels to make AI do whatever the fuck it does.

No one outside of science needs ai. No one outside of science needs ai. No one outside of science needs ai. We went to the moon using human computers. Yes, they needed to pee, but they got us to the moon and were important to their families. We live in the stupidest times.

Whatever the courts say, his minions know he wants them to take the election into their own hands, so its not 'stolen' from them.

He is calling his magats to assist wherever they can in the upcoming elections. They can assist where they are, without taking a trip to D.C. They'd earn his thanks and pardons and his Blanche checks and scotus will decide patriotic marauding is protected speech. I am a little apprehensive.

I can not see the USPS being trusted any more than the CDC, DOJ, EPA, etc. Whatever the courts decide, we already have purposeful slowdowns. Any maga postal worker will think losing mailed ballots is their duty to the cause.

Anne @annemike.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Maga postal workers will think jesustrump told them to destroy or refuse to deliver any mail ballots. SCOTUS will say they have the right to "deliver their conscience", like a wedding cake designer refusing to make a cake for a fictitious gay couple.

Anne @annemike.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Every Fox listener working in the USPS will be horrified at being asked to handle ballots in the mail. Will they be allowed to opt out, like anti-abortion nurses, anti-vax phamacists, etc?

'Don't get sick' is not their plan. They are doing as much as inhumanly possible to make us sick. Makes it easier to bulldoze our world and build mega whatsits.
