Diesel, gasoline, potash, etc. are physical things. Millions of tons of the stuff has to move from some locations to various other locations, facilitated by infrastructure that takes a while to develop. This isn't a video game. You can't just drag a resource bar and quickly shift where stuff goes.

Mob money and kompromat built the guy, so calling him compromised is just stating the job description. The interesting part isnt the leash, its how many Western suits still pretend the dog is walking itself.

Put a pin in your AI panic and read this thread because it’s not theoretical, it’s right fucking now. Clinical trials saved my life. I don’t want to be the last to benefit.

I always assumed, (naively) that Republicans would finally stop Trump when his ignorance and vanity started to hit them in their wallets, but apparently we have to wait to him to destroy the dollar and bankrupt the country and you know what, that might not even be enough.

Everyone of those first responders behind him know he’s 100% full of shit. It’s shameful that they don’t just walk away and leave him alone at that podium.

At 19, Memphis barber Darnell Wells set up a chair on the street and started cutting hair for free. His friend Zac Sherrod bought burgers so nobody left hungry. They expected two people. Darnell cut nine heads with five still waiting, and they handed out 30 burgers. 💈 #CommunityFirst
A young barber kneels in a parking lot, using clippers to trim the white hair of an older man seated in a red folding chair with a black cape over his shoulders. An inset photo in the top corner shows the same barber cutting another man's hair outdoors. Bold white headline below reads: "Meet the Black teen who gives free street haircuts to the homeless."

It feels to me like the middle of act 2, an act that will end with Trump growing tired of the attention she’s getting and sacking her. Act 3 will be a full blown fatal attraction bloodbath. I mean maybe.

Not bc it is most important but bc it is my area of work this stands out to me “isolationism and aggressive rhetoric carry a steep, self-inflicted financial penalty.” Who is going to want to watch American movies in that context?

During COVID, medical workers filled latex gloves with warm water so the dying could feel like their hands were being held by another person as they died alone in hospitals pushed to the brink of collapse. People who downplay the horrors of the pandemic to focus on its inconveniences are fools.

As we approach the midterms the ONLY message the GOP has for voters is, Democrats are Communists. You know, kitchen table issues.

People who say their personal finances are fair-to-good and improving, and also say the national economy is terrible, are not saying the national economy is terrible because they are poor and struggling. This is so easy to understand that not understanding it takes a group effort.

#AZ Andy Biggs authored the policy infrastructure that powers Arizona's data center boom-billions invested-all traceable to his legislative record. Biggs puts profits over AZ’s precious & limited water supply. Biggs chooses profits over people. Choose water & choose Katie Hobbs for Gov! #Pinks

It is very funny that the Chud Right have cooked their brains such that that they can’t enjoy a film of one of the key works of the Western Canon made by arguably the greatest living (small-c) conservative artist because he cast non-white actors in a story that occurs mostly in Asia and Africa

SAM ALTMAN

"You ingested the entire written output of human civilization without consent, without compensation, and without credit, to build a system whose primary commercial application is eliminating the jobs of the people whose work you consumed.
You are not liberating human creativity - you are strip-mining it and selling it back at a markup while calling the theft training data."

Rupert Murdoch owns the Wall Street Journal. The right wants dems to believe this civil war narrative so expect a flood of articles touting some imagined fracture prior to the midterms.
