The utterly sociopathic entitlement of these tech freaks. Nvidia, Microsoft and Cisco has given the UK government a 12 month deadline to quash public outrage over data centres, or they will... flounce off with their debt? Go on, then. Off you fuck. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Note how you NEVER see an expectation or suggestion that prices will go down, despite companies trying to get rid of more than a quarter of their workforce because they don't want to pay them. AI's only purpose is to turn the wages of workers into profit for capitalists.

Renee Cascada🥄 reposted

So what is the plan here for the capitalists and AI supporters? There aren't 60,000 tech jobs to replace these jobs. Prices aren't going down so these employees won't be able to live on nothing. People keep talking about AI making jobs easier, but it is getting rid of jobs without replacing them.

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

Imagine telling someone in December 2024 that the Mayor of Fort Worth, Texas, whose husband is a registered AI data center lobbyist, is endorsing a Democrat for a statewide race.

Robert Downen@robertdownen.bsky.social

Mattie Parker, the Republican mayor of Fort Worth, has endorsed Democrat Jon Rosenthal for Texas Railroad Commissioner over Bo French - who for years ran the Republican Party in Tarrant County, which includes Fort Worth. She's the latest current/former GOP official to endorse a Democrat this cycle.

This actually wouldnt be THAT shocking. In November 2024 there was significant GOP backlash to him calling opponents gay/retarded. And barely a year ago, local Congress reps wanted him out for asking if Jews or Muslims were bigger threats. A lotta people have loathed him for a lotta time.

Eric Lipton. below, has led an effort over the past two years to document the destruction of environmental protections under Trump II. It has gone for the most part unnoticed compared to, well, many other things, probably because it’s happening far from the Oval Office. But it’s very important.

I honestly feared they would be better at manipulating gas prices before the election.

Patrick De Haan@gasbuddyguy.bsky.social

gas prices fell in over half of states in the last week, while they surged in the Great Lakes, offsetting decreases, leading the national average to be the same as it was a week ago- $4.24/gal. meanwhile, diesel rose 4 cents to $6.34/gal. Brent oil prices at highest since April.

This was mentioned in August 2025. No one made a big deal about it, and then it just faded out. Of course, it was a huge deal to me. It's just another layer of evidence to add on. There's no way anyone can have doubt. He cares nothing for the US citizens. He's appeasing Putin. That's his goal.

Traitors. We need to find out when this Russian deal started and who all the players are in our government. Russia setting up a 25 billion dollar account with the UAE to hide that it was Russian money behind the Alaskan natural gas deal took time.

Wow, unbelievable even for trump. No, I shouldn't say that because NOTHING is beyond his traitorous corruption!
