Trump lashes out at ‘60 Minutes’ anchor for reading alleged gunman’s manifesto
Any detente between the president and the press after the shared horror of Saturday’s dinner appears to be short-lived.

How rare. A non-performative, honest answer. #becera4CAgovernor
Recently finished @doctorow.pluralistic.net book on Enshittification and am now a ball of molten fury. The sheer scale of both naked industry self interest and regulators making precisely the same mistakes they’ve made throughout history is enough to give anyone a rage aneurysm.

Kind of a perfect metaphor for the media and the role they've played over the last ten years
A butterfly vigil was held today, the one year anniversary of Virginia's suicide. She was a warrior for the Epstein survivors sisters & so many victims around our nation who did not receive justice. Thank you Virginia & I hope you are at peace. 🦋 www.usatoday.com/picture-gall...

Saturday was the one-year anniversary of Virginia Guiffre’s death. The Epstein survivors aren’t done fighting, but it takes public support to fuel their work. Don’t let the effort to distract work on you. Read & share: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

David Roberts@volts.wtf · 4mo agoPretty soon Americans will be able to hop up to Canada and witness a wide range of EVs that are more full-featured, perform better, and *are cheaper* than any EV available in the US. Because, uh, energy dominance or something.
Basically, Trump’s stupidity made the bed he is sleeping in….. Today, international inspectors say, Iran has a total of 11 tons of uranium, at various enrichment levels. With further purification, that is enough to build up to 100 nuclear weapons — more than the estimated size of Israel’s arsenal.
Backers of the massive data center campus say at full buildout it will consume 9GW of electricity, more than double the entire state of Utah’s current energy use. They say they intend to burn fossil fuels on site to make all that electricity. Box Elder County will vote on the proposal Monday.

Led by "Shark Tank" investor Kevin O'Leary, a massive data center project is near final approval in Utah — including tax deals aimed at helping it “lure the hyperscalers” like Amazon, Microsoft and Google to the state.

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings
War overseas, but the costs are hitting farms right here. Diesel and fertilizer up. Clay Fuller’s in DC trying to be funny. I’m out here working my farm and facing the same rising costs. If you can’t see what people are fighting for, you’re not a warrior for them. Leadership matters! #GA14
Fertilizer costs are spiking, and farmers in the South are getting hit the hardest. That includes us right here in Northwest Georgia. Leadership matters. We need someone in DC who actually understands what it takes to keep a farm running, not someone playing politics while costs keep rising. #GA14
The thing about the Maine Senate race is that there are other Dem candidates besides Platner and Mills. Like LaFlamme. But one wing of the party is lined up behind the woman criticizing a resolution she didn't read, and the other is with the cosplay oytserman with a Nazi tattoo. It's bad.
I got the nicest comment on my YouTube channel yesterday. Remember to ignore the hate and relish in the admiration.
“There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud by noncitizens. But the elections board says a small number of noncitizens have appeared on voter rolls, often due to misunderstanding or administrative error.” www.wral.com/news/nccapit...

Yeah, olive oil and cheese and pastries can make you a little fat. Yeah, sunshine gives you wrinkles and wine ruins your liver and spending money on pretty things eats up your savings. But unfortunately, I've decided to enjoy life anyways
