Y'all I just caught the Kennedy Center claiming it isn't closing while telling vendors it's closing and now they're selling all of their Steinway pianos www.alternet.org/alternet-exc...

Kennedy Center moves to sell all of its Steinway pianos

Think about this: The 0.1% now control about $28 trillion, or about 15% of the nation’s total wealth, which amounts to nearly $186 trillion. www.wsj.com/economy/the-...

The Gap Between the Rich and the Very, Very Rich Is Getting Wider
The 0.1% are worth $28 trillion, or about 15% of the nation’s total wealth. The average wealth for a household in this group is over $200 million.

Neuroscientist here. I have studied the brain for 40 years. I make serious use of machine learning and AI in my research. Sam Altman is full of shit. These machines are not conscious, any more than a movie of a train coming out of the screen is a train. AI does remarkable things but isn’t real.

Hopper painted Railroad Sunset (1929) from memories of American train journeys. It places a stark railroad signal tower against a biblical-scale sunset. The precise geometry and vast sky embody his vision of modernity amid eternal landscapes.

In a normal administration counterintelligence agents at the FBI would be investigating this photo. In this administration, the FBI director is in the photo.
Michael Weiss: Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.

It's a numbers game, people--if you vote for a Republican and keep them in the majority, costs will stay the same. Nothing will change. Even if you "like" your particular republican--they will form part of the do-nothing Trump coalition.

A MORATORIUM ON DATA CENTERS SHOULDN’T EVEN BE IN QUESTION AT THIS POINT And we definitely need more reporting on this issue: HEAT Data centers devour electricity and water, dump heat into communities, and Big Tech is building them faster than lawmakers are dealing with the consequences.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

The POTUS has no authority over elections, according to the constitution. The Supreme Court Six, the self-defined "originalists," just gave it to him. They didn't sign their name to the decision (why not?), but Jackson, Kagan, and Sotomayor issued a joint statement against.

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

Oregon data centers by the numbers: 111 facilities consume nearly one-quarter of state’s power, according to new report
A first-of-its-kind report details the footprint of the controversial facilities.

Data centers arrive wrapped in promises of jobs and prosperity. Then taxpayers discover the fine print: incentives, infrastructure, enormous power demand and plenty of corporate upside. Funny how “economic development” sometimes develops everyone’s wallet except yours. #CostOfCorruption
