You know, Elon, if you just paid your taxes, we could give those kids food and healthcare, things far more valuable than stock in a government-welfare-dependent company that is bound to go bankrupt eventually.

Why does food treated with various chemicals cost less than unadulterated food?

Fiction or Reality?

“A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It is a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.” ~ Jimmy Carter

Riveting reading...

I can see how that could be confusing.

One major problem with data centers is that they have not been well thought out. The push is money/investment-based. Little thought has been put into anything other than how to extract max profit. What happens—in 5 to 10 years—when operators decide they can downsize the equipment and footprint?

Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black. Thousands have been without power for nearly two weeks. Many are without safe water. Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water. This is what oligarchy looks like. Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.

The NFL is the NASCAR of cheap beer.

What’s happening is that America’s liberal majority is fed up with being told they need to hold the center while the political right moves more and more to the extreme. The status quo is everything getting worse, and they’re over it.

'Solar farms are destroying our productive farmland!' cry the fossil-fuel-funded climate science deniers. In reality solar farms currently use up about 10% of the land area taken up by golf courses (0.07% vs 0.7%). And climate change is wrecking far, far more productive farmland.

He's a horrible human...

This is why many Olympic athletes aim to get third place.

This is my favorite person on BlueSky!

It's important work.

It seems stock traders are not big on the future. Running it up to short it.

No to any election deniers. No to attempting to hand in FAKE ELECTORAL SLATES. That's a double-edged sword....hurts us all. Hurts the states and the country as a whole. WIN ON MERIT/the people's votes, not cheating. Thankful Mike Pence is loyal to democracy and denied corruption.

Cozy...

In Yuma, I don’t miss the sounds of lawn mowers and leaf blowers.

Balint on Hegseth's obsession with testosterone and his attacks on women in combat: "I think it is indicative of the fact that there are so many people in this administration that have some weird, intense, homoerotic, feelings towards men while also being incredibly homophobic..."

The rapid buildout of AI is a "who can get there first", profit-based undertaking. It's not "who benefits", needs-based.

After the 2026 midterms are completed, we'll start being inundated with garbage about the 2028 elections. The BS never ceases.

Data centers won't solve poverty.

US government service should not be a way to get filthy rich.

Until the US abolishes both the Electoral College and gerrymandering no US citizen can be equally represented by their government.

You notice that the criminal-in-charge who sues everyone for everything is drop dead quiet about this. Says a lot.

If you’ve ever worked with epoxy you know it’s pretty darned tough. It’s possible to cut the flexible type as I’m assuming they used here but that won’t make it come up in big sheets; you’d get smaller flakes. It sticks really well if the surface is prepped correctly which this evidently was not

I needed this… 😆

Arrest the vandal.

Hegseth is a flaming racist. Disgusting human.

Will ICE wear cameras inside the polling place?

Yes, gerrymandering is bad for democracy. But to level the playing field, Democrats will have to fight fire with fire and maximize their power everywhere they can.

Instead of watching "Mad Max on the South Lawn", I'm watching reruns of "The Bob Newhart Show".

The Department of Wrecking America's Reputation is showing a propaganda video during the pointless UFC fight at The White House. Someone's getting paid...

It's always the creatives -- the artists, authors, musicians -- who end up repairing us when things turn bad.

Prediction: If Democrats are able to win both Senate and House, PedoPOTUS will resign due to health reasons. Possibility?

PedoPOTUS needs a nap so he schedules a Cabinet meeting...

So much on social media is content about people I don't want to know anything about. Just weirdos being weird.
