Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Happy Mother's Day to my pothos! She's been propagated 100s of times so her children are everywhere. Over the years I've seen posts go viral on Mother's Day to celebrate women who can't/don't have kids, single fathers, people with no/dead/terrible mothers, and female pet owners so hoping this hits

Monopoly invented by Elizabeth "Lizzie" Magie in 1903 a "Landlord's Game" to demonstrate the negative aspects of land monopolies & promote the single-tax theory of Henry George. Was patented 1904 to illustrate economic consequences of land grabbing,benefits of wealth sharing.

I have an idea. Trump told tankers to ‘Show Some Guts.’ You know who has guts? Donnie Jr. and Eric! I know they have guts - I’ve seen pictures of them with large game they killed. If that’s not guts I don’t know what is! So, fly them to the tankers and let them captain the ships! Problem solved!

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

Blue Owl’s investment in Stargate Abilene means it gets paid a fee DURING CONSTRUCTION, and relieves them of any responsibility for finishing the data center if Crusoe goes bankrupt. Oracle waived all rights to cancel the lease. Does this even get built? www.theinformation.com/articles/blu...

Here is another great fact: AI data centers are a relatively new concept, and nobody has ever built a 1 gigawatt data center campus at speed. Crusoe? Never built an AI data center before. We have less than a year of data on cooling Blackwell. Hey whatever happened to CoreWeave Denton?

Also it’s centralizing resources and heat load. That never works out and always ends up decomposing into an easier to manage distributed system with simpler endpoints. This will be no different. Solar makes this easily distributable and cheaper.

Holy shit…You can’t make this up: a plane is circling Soldier Field before the Bears home opener with a banner that reads— “HEY ICE, MASKS ARE FOR CUCKS.” Also the trolling is incredible for those that told us to stop wearing masks during the pandemic.

Ninety percent of Americans are closer to homelessness than we are to the billionaire class. Yet many of you would rather bow down and lick the boots of people you’ll never be, instead of standing with your brothers and sisters who are suffering. 👇🏾

I never looked at this issue from this angle, but it is very well reasoned and I believe very accurate.

The US rep to the IEA said that "pursuing offshore wind power would make countries reliant on China." It's instructive to explore this sort of claim, in particular for what it reveals about those claiming it. Two points:🧵
