Spread this far and wide: Susan Collins is corrupt, a pay for play Senator selling government contracts for campaign donations. Collins has to back Trump because the investigation he stopped to protect her is a prosecution he can restart to punish her any time he chooses.

In years to come it will emerge that the shipment of F35 parts through Hong Kong was not a mistake, it was done on purpose by one of the many foreign agents infiltrated into the US DoD with the connivance of traitor Hegseth.

I suspect it might be quite a while before Trump folds and lets the press corps back. His courtiers will likely find it so much easier to control senile orange when he doesn't have an audience so they will encourage him to stand firm.

As a MS Now listener, I am actually quite happy they have been kicked out of the WH because it means less clips of Trump flapping his pie hole which are the point where I change channel. I have absolutely no interest in hearing anything the smelly senile rapist says.

Just told a MAGA to their face that I consider Trump to be a bully, a rapist, senile and utterly incompetent. Every time he opens his mouth it is to say something utterly absurd. Sure did feel good.

You know a case is going badly when the other side asks for an emergency hearing and the judge says, 'nah, don't need to hear any more, here is an injunction'.

False urgency. When you want to convince people to rush to eat the shit-sandwich of AI, you tell them that Ch-ayh-a-nah will be eating it first if they don't.

Open up YouTube to find yet another video talking about the demise of Jaguar as a lesson of what 'wokeness' does to a brand. The business logic behind the Jaguar Land Rover strategy is pretty obvious: the only cars people are buying are SUVs and pickup trucks.

Besides putting a rapist felon in the White House, the people who voted for Trump caused the deaths of almost a thousand children in the US. They are beneath contempt.

Think I have an answer to a question posed some time ago by @molly.wiki How to provide content providers with a platform that allows them to charge for paid content without becoming tied to that provider. Patreon/Substack but without switching costs and without the liability of holding cc numbers

Question for ATprotocol folk. I am putting up a site that lets people create Facebook like personal feeds that use ATprotocol account infrastructure. What is concerning me is what happens if I stop supporting the site or more generally, if a third party starts a service and abandons it.

Announcing Medium Place 2, a proof of concept demonstrating a social media ecosystem in which every user controls the content they publish and consume. Unlike traditional social media platforms, MPlace2 does not manage user accounts. You bring your own from BlueSky or another ATmosphere site.

In the final stages of releasing the Places service which brings a federated form of Facebook to the ATmosphere. Places does not use ATprotocol (yet). It is designed to be a sidegrade. The real goal here being to show we can extend the ATmosphere by co-opting as many existing forums as we can.

And the lying NYT turns out to have been pulling for team Trump all the time. Allowing a known Republican operative to be an anonymous source alleging misconduct by the candidate her client is standing against is journalistic misconduct.

Big Tech desperately needs to set a standard for responsible large data center deployment, publicize the thwack out of it and stick to it: Power: Generate your own from renewable sources. Water: Closed loop cooling only. Grid: Deploy enough battery capacity to not stretch local connections.

Like most warlords, Trump's power is undisputed only within his own tribe. Outside his tribe Trump is considered weak, senile, incompetent, worse. Trump is weakening because his tribe is shrinking. Trump’s Weakness Is Becoming the Political Story of the Moment talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump...

Seniority is important and it is the reason that either AOC runs for Schumer's Senate seat in 2028 or she stays in the House where she will already have more seniority than half the D. caucus while being younger than almost all of them.

Very happy to hear that Trump has endorsed Ken Paxton, the most staggeringly corrupt politician in Texas. While Paxton makes it slightly more likely the Ds will flip Texas in November, the bigger win is that Trump has one less Senate vote to seat corrupt Judge Aileen Cannon on the Supreme Court.

Trump has pulled the trigger on Operation Heist, stealing $1.776 billion from the US treasury by ordering the DoJ to give him the money as 'settlement' for a fake lawsuit. It is both criminal and recoverable. Trump and his estate will be pursued for the return of every penny.

For the past few weeks, I have been transitioning to a new all-Ubiquity infrastructure. Networking is so much easier when the switches etc provide a map of the network and every connected client device. This has in turn allowed me to begin recovery of my last ever QNAP which has a hardware fault.

Thing to remember about Rudy Giuliani is that he was paid a million dollars by the same Russian oligarch who paid corrupt NY FBI counter-intel chief Charles F. McGonigal the cash that got him 28 months in jail. Giuliani said he was working for Trump for free. He was actually being paid by Moscow.

If I was playing Iran, I would have been looking at the marine drones Ukraine used to sink the Russian Black Sea fleet and built similar. Sinking just one US vessel would force a major change in US doctrine.

I do wish people would specify the context because if this is the case I think it might be about, we already have four women accusing him of worse and one alleging rape. On the other hand, sending a dick pic is easier to prove and sending just one is absolutely disqualifying.

This is being reported in many sources, that it is in the Murdoch press is an admission against interest. Problem is that Trump doesn't keep a coherent thought in his head for more than 30 seconds. He says one thing, then the opposite. The President who took us to war is senile.

A blockade is considered to be a use of force and thus an act of war for war crimes purposes. So Trump currently has the US engaged in three illegal wars with the illegal objective of regime change - Venezuela, Iran and Cuba. And he is set to lose all three.
