Our war with Iran was *never* about them having a nuclear weapon. That has always been a lie. And how do we know this? North Korea has *lots* of nuclear weapons. And instead of bombing them, Trump is always singing the praises of its leader and how much he likes Trump. We are being conned.

Hear me out. All police misconduct cases paid out of police pension funds. Because as a citizen I'm really sick of public funds being used to pay these AND having to worry about a cop doing something shitty to me because they have no accountability.

Point of information: The Republican Party has already spent far more on protecting a single U.S. Senate seat in Texas than the TOTAL cost of the 2000 Presidential election for BOTH Al Gore and George W. Bush COMBINED. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...
 The Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee together spent $79.9 million on television ads in the 2000 presidential campaign, far more than the $67.1 million spent by the campaigns of Gov. Bush and Vice President Gore, the study says.

Ruth Muskrat Bronson: Cherokee poet, author & Indigenous rights activist. + 1st guidance officer, Bureau of Indian Affairs + Exec. secretary, Nat'l Congress of American Indians + Structurally established early educational resources & legal defenses for #indigenous communities Born #OTD in 1897.
Black-and-white portrait of Ruth Muskrat Bronson (1897–1982), an influential Cherokee Nation poet, educator, and Indigenous rights activist. Taken around December 1923, when she famously presented an educational reform appeal to President Calvin Coolidge, this image carries immense historical significance for Native American self-determination. She is centered against a dark, plain studio background that draws absolute focus onto her striking presence. Bronson faces forward, looking directly into the camera lens with a calm, dignified, and unwavering gaze. Her serene yet resolute expression projects a sense of inner strength and authority. Her dark hair is woven into two long, thick braids that drape symmetrically down the front of both shoulders. She wears a traditional patterned buckskin garment featuring intricate geometric designs along the chest, sleeves, and neckline, complete with layered fringe running down her arms. Tied horizontally across her forehead is a woven, light-colored headband accented with dark, bold diamond motifs. The overall mood of the portrait is formal, respectful, and intensely focused, immortalizing Bronson as a powerful institutional champion.

These data centers are financial poison even if you bought them cheap. The returns are awful, the debt is toxic, the ongoing opex is nasty because of the cost of cooling and the power demands, and 30% gross margins requires near-perfect conditions and constant revenue for 5+ years.
