I just have to say that the we, the American people have done a poor job of interviewing and hiring qualified candidates to represent us. What is wrong with these people? 🤬🤯 www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

From today, and every day that traitorous rapist sack of shit is corrupting our country, I will post #TrumpWillNeverBeMyPresident

With all of the nice things being said today, I think those who had personal interactions with the man deserve the last word.

How much truth is in this one?

This political cartoon by American artist Ron Cobb in 1975 is still relevant today 51 years later.

Recklessness rules with data centers right now and the consequences are real world to entire communities.

A contractor building Meta's data center flushed its "closed-loop" cooling system straight into Cheyenne's sewer. It carried a bacterium and knocked the city's water-reuse system offline for months. They sell these as sealed systems that barely touch the water. This one poisoned a city's.

Oh. So Tulsi Gabbard wrote a report showing that voting machine vulnerabilities didn’t flip any votes. And now she’s not the DNI anymore. Hmm. www.reuters.com/world/white-...

It’s just a big conspiracy of elites.

1. Elon Musk is not taxed nearly enough. 2. There should be no such thing as a trillionaire. 3. Didn’t SpaceX just have a rocket explode? 4. AI in space. It would have independent power/cooling and if we ever needed to pull the plug, we’re fucked. finance.yahoo.com/markets/live...

A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

Just. Wow!

For the first time in my life I’ve had occasion to interact with another country’s medical system and good lord the US system is Not It.

So, which science fiction story are we in the process of bringing to life? Asimov’s rules or are we heading for Skynet?

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person.

Interesting article and worth the read. The electric car market is yet another area where we are falling horribly behind because of the lack of vision guiding this country and industry (including tech like Tesla which is basically a dinosaur at this point).

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

Oh yeah, he deserves to be heard. He has A LOT to say and does so concisely. And I love the hat!

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Agreed, but the statement needs to be tied to every Republican candidate up for election with the point being how many times they’ve voted as Trump wanted to get us here.

This needs to happen. Otherwise it will become a forgotten blip among the other ridiculous things he says.
