@willsommer.bsky.social: "In the longer six minute long audio, this guy poses as Talarico's cousin and gives a fake ID number to try to get information about the patient. And then the receptionist repeatedly said, 'There's no James Talarico here.'…Naturally, they cut all of that part out."

Jake Paul: "I get confused by the left, the protesters. Do they not have jobs? That's all they do is carry signs around while we're doing the work." (Note the lack of crowd response to this.)

Anyone else think we’re headed for a massive data center bubble? We’re going to end up with a bunch of empty, useless data centers. 🇺🇸 US: 5,427 data centers 🇨🇳 China: 449 data centers The U.S. already has 46% of the world’s data centers. This is insanity.
