I've got everything to lose, and I don't give a f*ck. Nobody else should either.
Well that was a dramatic sunrise from Glastonbury Tor! More photos to follow later as it went from a very dark inky blue with flashes of red appearing in the clouds to this beautiful golden sunrise. Put it this way, I had to move quickly to capture it all 😂
It's official. Kansas Republicans have lost their State Supreme Court referendum attempt, and it won't even be close. Fantastic news.
TrumpsTaxes@trumpstaxes.com · 21h agoReally encouraging results thus far in Kansas. With about 1/5 of the vote in, Kansas voters are rejecting the Republicans' attempt to change the way State Supreme Court Justices are selected by a 40+ point margin.
I used to not know who Max Miller was, that was a happier existence for me.
In the disgusting pig-stye of corruption that is the Trump Administration, it's easy to overlook that Truth Social is now selling access to insider trading information for the low, low price of $100,000 per month. youtu.be/Hkerl0uLiSw?...

With the palpably insane AI bubble, all we need for another Great Depression is for China to come up with an open-source AI that works as well as Anthropic's or Open AI's. That is it. And when that happens, there will be nothing to stop the free-fall.
I thought electing Mamdani was going to turn NYC into a communist hellhole?
Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."
James Talarico: Today is the the anniversary of Ken Paxton’s famous mugshot. What's fascinating about that story is that he was scamming his own friends. If Ken Paxton is willing to scam his own friends for a quick buck, what makes you think he's not going to scam you in the United States Senate?
Ken Paxton failed to disclose he secretly purchased real estate worth millions of dollars in Hawaii, Florida, and Utah. Experts say this is a direct violation of Texas state ethics rules.
If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.
Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.
The World Crossed a Major Solar Milestone. No One Noticed
The next phase of the boom may reveal a shift in who is gaining access to the technology.

Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.
Today, for the first time in New York City history, 2,000 two year-olds received offers for FREE 2-K. A big step for those who take baby steps. A big step towards a City every New Yorker can afford.

📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.
So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.
America’s legal system To practice law: —4 year degree, LSAT, 3 year JD, pass BAR, buy malpractice insurance, total cost ~$300K To enforce law: —Here’s paid 13-week training & a gun To write law: —0 qualifications needed, a billionaire can buy your seat Vote only for people funded by people.❤️✊🏽
Every single second, the world hands $6,000 to the fossil fuel industry in subsidies. That’s $5 TRILLION every year. Renewables? Barely a fraction of that. We are literally paying to cook our own planet. When does this madness stop? 🌍💸 #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels
Reminder: The 2008 primary. Democratic establishment said to pick Hillary Clinton...or else. The people chose Barack Obama. It was ugly, nasty, and vicious. Obama won. What happened? He crushed McCain, turned around and asked Clinton to be his Sec of State, and then beat Romney as well.

It just keeps on coming… Farage struck deal to return as leader long before Sunak called surprise 2024 vote, so his claim that he wasn’t involved in politics when he got his £5million “gift” is, of course, another grubby lie. The man is garbage. Grifting, lying, cheating garbage. (Sunday Times)
