"Democracy has been hailed as, like, the holy grail for the last couple hundred years, but democracies are inefficient,” said [Zhao]. “If you get a benevolent dictator, it’s actually extremely efficient." Zhao has diligently and effectively pursued commercial relations with Trump's sons.

Man, do I ever miss #Whitney. And because the instruments were being played live in the studio, it made it feel like she was there with him. Her voice was the soundtrack to my teens and 20s. #WhitneyHouston

I was getting 3-5mps Internet, had three different techs come and none of them fixed a thing. I finally went into the diagnostics and fixed it myself. I don't know how they keep a job.

If you stopped getting notifications from channels where you've clicked ALL notifications, there might be a reason why. This is what Chat GPT told me: "YouTube has been testing a system where some users don't receive a push notification for every upload even when the channel is set to "All."

No, your eyes aren't deceiving you. That is indeed a statue of Kristi Noem that was just unveiled. Not pictured, her husband's big bazongas cast in bronze. Now that would have captured more press attention!

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

I mean this in all seriousness, this is a severely mentally ill & delusional person who not only should be removed from office under the 25th amendment, but he should be in a psych ward. This is pure insanity on so many levels. He lives in a fantasy world. He is unwell & has lost touch with reality.

Todd Blanche actually had the nerve to tell the Epstein survivors, "Get to the point!" What upside-down world are we in when they protect the abusers and villify those that suffered at the hands of evil men. #EpsteinFiles #ToddBlanche

Friendly reminder that these things aren't impacted by closing the Strait of Hormuz so maybe, just maybe, we should implement them to avoid being impacted by future conflicts: -Solar panels -Wind turbines -Battery storage -Electric vehicles -Bicycles -Natural fertilizers -Electric heat pumps

Remember when conservatives kept asking “Where’s Hunter?” like it was some kind of gotcha. Looks like they underestimated him, because he’s been on a roll these last few months.

What if hostile foreign governments were able to control social network algorithms in the United States, suppressing information vital to our survival as a democracy? That would be weird.

The links between the #TateBros and Trump/The Trump Administration are undeniable. In fact, one of their former lawyers now works in the Trump admin.

I'm more of a Burkean Conservative than anything, which makes me left of center in today's political climes but this is appealing and honestly what the Democratic party should be aspiring to. Texas GOP doing recruitiment for the left.

Big audience? Most of the major networks didn't carry it and even CBS pulled out of the feed and debunked it.
