The usual excuse behind the rush to build these data centers is "we can't let China get ahead of us".
But we seem to have no problem letting China lap us when it comes to renewable energy.
Odd, ain't it?
Didn’t Jim Jordan flat out ignore a subpoena? When you enforce that, then y’all can talk. But right now, it’s rules if we have a vendetta but not for us.
My SO and I saw the proshot of Hadestown this weekend: it’s fantastic. But I just saw the most insane review of it from the National Review & my god, Rs have the media literacy of a newborn. It’s SO clear they were focused on casting decisions instead of paying attention.
Stephen A. Smith has always been a bit of a prick, but it's awful nice of him to reveal that he's a gullible bigot who will repeat any transphobic boogeymen that cross his path — no matter how outlandish & detached from reality that bullshit may be.
Fuck this guy & anyone who supports his bigotry.
Stephen A. Smith is defending Sophie Cunningham by making it clear he doesn’t want to see NBA players transition to play in the WNBA.

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever.
The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.
A federal judge has approved a US$1.5 billion copyright settlement in which artificial intelligence company Anthropic will pay thousands of authors about US$3,000 per book after using pirated copies of their works to train its Claude chatbot.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people.
By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s.
Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.
For my newsletter I wrote about how Kier Starmer should serve as a warning for centrist Democrats in the US. It's a real crystal ball moment. www.burnsnotice.com/its-the-cent...

The honorable gentlemen giving their word of honor on handshake deals are Trump, Vance and the Iranian regime. Seems like a bunch of honest and trustworthy folks who can be counted on to keep their word.
Daveigh Chase has passed away at the age of 35

That James Charles rant is so distasteful and out of touch with reality. This is someone who’s possibly never had a real job in his life, and quite frankly shouldn’t have the job he has now due to being a pedo, and you’re calling someone who’s asking for help due to losing their job “lazy”
Meta has demonstrated it cannot be trusted to manage our data responsibly.
We’re sounding the alarm on their plans to install facial recognition on their AI glasses, making anyone in their vicinity more vulnerable to tracking, harassment, and targeting.
…why is the PRESIDENT allowed to remain so when his underlings are banishing him from the room so the grown-ups can talk? If it was Biden, Tapper would’ve had 3 books about it, but 🦗🦗🦗
"White House Leak Reveals Trump Booted From Briefing After Hours-Long Freakout"

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.
We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States.
Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay.
Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.
NEWS: Huge first win for Mayor Mamdani’s tax-the-rich plans in NYC.
Mamdani just secured a deal with Gov. Hochul to create the state’s first-ever tax on $5 million+ second homes owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents.
Don't tell me America was founded on Judeo-Christian values unless you can show where the Bible guarantees elected governments, freedom of speech, gun rights, due process, freedom from self-incrimination, abolishes cruel and unusual punishments, and everything else in the Constitution.
I asked myself "how do golf courses possibly afford property taxes" so I looked it up and came away convinced we could virtually eliminate the entire sport by simply removing several dumb tax loopholes

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?
for me impeachment isn't what we should be after. this president and most of his cabinet and staff should be prosecuted for corruption, fraud, war crimes, obstruction, and all the various crimes they have committed. i will only vote for a presidential candidate in 2028 who commits to this.
I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.
