Say anything as long as it doesn't go against the boss's approved storyline...

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 01/08/2026

Also, the "jobs and taxes" claims ring hollow. Yes, there are quite a few jobs during construction, but for normal operations, most data centers run a skeleton crew. Virginia had also given most data center operators sweetheart tax deals, so not much going on there, either

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 01/08/2026

In the last five years, Virginia rate players (not data center developers and operators) have spent more than $2B on infrastructure upgrades to support new data centers. VA is now trying to pass legislation to shift most of that burden to the DC industry.

Just what we need. Turn NewsMax' extreme-right content into a primary source for training AI models. What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

John Roberts (SCOTUS in general) gave him the green light. They told him that he could do whatever the hell he wants, as long as it's dressed as "official business"

If they're doing these things frequently, who's providing the finding? Follow the money

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 30/06/2026

We're long past the point of concern. SCOTUS has, unquestionably, caused irreparable harm, and will continue to do so. The t-appointed justice are young and will be around for a LONG time.

Seems a clear First Amendment violation. A government entity forcing someone to say something against their will, with a threat of disciplinary action if they don't comply ..

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 20/06/2026

He's just emulating his boss... Lie, lie, and lie some more.

010

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 20/06/2026

Let me see... This is a clear case of "he said/she said". Who should I believe? He's a known pathological liar who can't resist an opportunity to aggrandize himself. She's an Italian politician I know nothing about. Vacillating... Vacillating. I'll take the unknown politician for $10M!!

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 18/06/2026

Repeat the lie. Repeat it again. One day, it will be perceived as truth. I do agree Iran needs to defend itself. I don't agree that the US should forfeit its influence and give our adversary everything they dreamed of while gaining nothing for ourselves. We should never have been negotiating.

010

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 18/06/2026

I agree with Ted Cruz (as edited) Those are words I never expected to utter! Ted Cruz: "History teaches that giving billions of dollars to <paraphrasing: our political adversary> is not a good idea." (He made this remark regarding a memorandum of understanding with Iran).

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 14/06/2026

Maybe some of the countries that handle massive accounts for US billionaires will take the hint and begin impoundment proceedings...

Once a foundation of trust is established, it's extremely difficult to change someone's opinion. Target vulnerable people, give them a little to hold onto, give them a little more, until eventually you can give them a LOT more and they don't ask questions, they BELIEVE. Cult 101.

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 09/06/2026

I remember a discussion I had with someone about election fraud and I asked: "What could I show you that would convince you your position isn't valid?" The response? "Show me something that Sidney Powell says. I trust her." My worldview says SP is a fruitcake, theirs conflicted.

The problem is that things fall apart here:⁣ ⁣ 𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯: 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘦 𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘴?⁣ ⁣ Remember 𝐀𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬? Facts are subjective, framed within one's lived experience. If u & I see the same car from different perspectives, one will say "it's coming" the other "it's going" - both correct

Ok, I'm going to throw my own tantrum: if you want to use Substack, I'm fine with that. Don't force me to install the app to read your content. That's a 100% sure way to point me to the exit Tantrum over...

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 09/06/2026

Tell the lies often enough and even the people in the back of the room begin to wonder if there's a there there. This fits very nicely into the cult leader playbook.

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 09/06/2026

Doesn't he look like he's aged 20 years since taking the gavel? All of those lies are a heavy burden to bear...

So, happily spend $$$ on GLP-1s, but won't fund basic things like vaccines? Clearly they're going for the "wow" factor with the hottest new shiny things they think will impress people.

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 01/06/2026

Looking at per capita is very deceptive. It is not the lived experience of most Americans. One person, or the aggregate of the 10 most wealthy people, wildly distorts "per capita" numbers.

“And we expected that it would have the integrity of the President of the United States" And, so it does!

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 27/05/2026

Makes sense. The US becomes an unreliable ally, you reduce your dependencies on the US.

News died a long time ago. All we have left is opinion pieces (with a few exceptions for independent outlets)

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 25/05/2026

Yes, but the institutions are being corrupted NOW. It will take time and qualified teachers to do what you suggest. The current administration is corrupting education by changing criteria and using funding as a cudgel for compliance. Not enough institutions are pushing back.

So, can this approach "see through walls?" I assume the answer is yes, since the radio signals penetrate walls, so you can't simply put your router in the communications closet and be safe from surveillance.

000

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 24/05/2026

What I didn't see in the article was what type of sensor was required to interpret the signals. Does the sensor need to be in the same room as the router? As the subject of the monitoring?

The owners are high on the list, but the legislators and administrators who created the environment that enabled the "rent-a-determine center" approach hold the most responsibility. They will never know accountability.

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 10/05/2026

Exactly. The Executive Branch owns enforcement. Good luck with that.

Hey! They changed the timeline! Everything is supposed to be ready in TWO WEEKS, what's this two month bullshit??

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 08/05/2026

Sounds like the model has exhausted its context window and is condensing context. They seem to toss the most recent context and throw you back in time. Start a new task as soon as it makes sense (early and often)

The problem Democrats have is that the GOP messaging is emotion-focused, and their emotion of choice is usually fear or hatred. Emotional messaging evokes a primal response -- no thought needed. Democrats try to address complex issues, which require complex messages and critical thinking.

000

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 05/05/2026

The immediate after-event response makes it hard not to at least have the thought cross one's mind ..

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 05/05/2026

Yes, and which cognitive test has four animals on this question? If I'm not mistaken, there are three animals, not four.

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 04/05/2026

Nothing like starting an "armed conflict" with no understanding of your opponent and no exit plan...

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 02/05/2026

The GOP had never been fiscally conservative. They have always been the party of big business. Whatever policies large businesses favor are the policies the GOP will back.

He's done his damage. Now he'll be a scapegoat for the rest of the culpables.

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 30/04/2026

This is simply punishment for Comey saying things 47 didn't like. They're trying to make sure he (Comey) can't just relax and enjoy life. Keep him in court. Bankrupt him with legal fees. Make an example of him so others think twice before crossing "the boss"

Lindsay Graham is a disgrace. It's hard to imagine anyone worse. This asshat arguably fits that description.

Coincidence or not? April 6, 2026 11:12am 62.60.130.223 (Iran, Islamic Republic of) Blocked because the IP is blocklisted I've been running Wordfence on my WordPress site for years. This is the first time I've seen persistent attacks from Iran.

This is why the media being MIA is such a big deal. It gives people (and AI) a loophole to doubt (and eventually excuse) egregious behavior.

001

Ken Cline @kencline.me · 05/04/2026

Because Popes are statesmen (unlike some heads of state) who represent hundreds of millions of people. They lead by persuasion, not punishment.

But, that's impossible! The Iranian military has been obliterated, right? Right?!

This article talks about how the Trump administration has used the bible: "That is very much the darkness in the world, that manipulates people's faith and their understanding of God to make it sound like God is behind war and hatred and division," she said. www.1news.co.nz/2026/04/03/k...

It's a good thing the Iranian military has been totally obliterated! Just imagine what they could do if they were at full strength.

Yay! But, this will be fast-tracked to an appeal...
