After a woman obtained public records indicating a Google datacenter would cover only one-third of the cost of a new solar plant to power the facility — contradicting its promises that ratepayers would not be on the hook — her electricity company sued her.

This would sink a presidency in any other era. I would bet most Americans will never hear it even happened.

imagine if the mainstream media covered Republicans' number one donor — the biggest political donor in US history! — and his controversial views with as much scrutiny as they covered Hasan Piker's
Since 👇 post 9 days ago, Elon has spent almost $11 million more, over a million bucks a day. In the Senate races alone, he's spent: $8.7m in Texas $4.5m in Ohio $4m in Michigan
It’s a site full of people on the left that have empathy for people that are struggling. If you want, you can go over to the other site where they complain about cities being hellholes because a homeless guy was interrupting their al fresco dining experience by talking too loudly in their vicinity.
There really appears to be a mindset that despair and despondency are the savvy things to express and feel

The bar for progressive policies is: "did this unilaterally solve the entire gigantic systemic issue without making a single person sad?" The bar for conservative policies is: "did the people pushing this yell out the name of a real problem before doing something unrelated, cruel and ineffective?"
Opposing a policy that would increase city revenue because the city doesn't have enough revenue, chef's kiss.

It's pretty simple. Your electricity bills will go up as the Trump administration takes away electricity supply in order to give a payday to one of Trump's cronies. Once again, the American people lose, Trump's buddies win. Sums up this administration's policy.

Wow. Good shit.
Here are things that happened at the DNC today: 1) Resolution calling to abolish ICE unanimously adopted 2) Brand-new early state calendar that reflects the full diversity of the Democratic base 3) Rejection of insider efforts to ban RCV from being used in presidential primaries Great results here
After Trump’s disastrous 1st term, the next guy I voted for did a great job of righting the ship, and he did it by *actually spending tax $$ on the people*. He passed an infrastructure bill, manufacturing bills, & expanded child tax credits. And he did direct $$ to people (a bigger check than Trump)
The most convincing theory for Trump’s rise is that there is an enormous part of the population that is scared that society is moving at such a rapid pace. They’re worried they won’t be seen as “normal” so they adopt reactionary positions to try to pull everyone back to a place of personal comfort.
There is some value in committing to an “I’m a normal guy” perspective and channeling your own responses to political activity into analysis. The problem is that it is almost impossible to make punditry and analysis your full time job and remain a normal guy.

Bluesky knew the strait of Hormuz, Graham Platner, and AIPAC democrats were all cooked months before the experts did. Meanwhile Twitter was convinced Spencer Pratt would win and the Odyssey would bomb. Which site is the not-real-life echo chamber again?
extremely funny to me that analysts whose entire job is to think about these possibilities are only now catching up to Bluesky Consensus
