AI end times fear is the new Revelations Apocalypse and Y2K panic that some part of human expression needs and requires. There's a single electrical feed to the data centers. Period. No backups. No deeper connection to the grid. Just power from the curb. Can't destroy shite.

if you're the abc news editor who wrote that the nyc mayor attending the 9/11 ceremony is attracting "growing criticism" solely because he's a muslim then you are the criticism you're writing about

ABC:
Mayor Mamdani says he'll attend 9/11 ceremony despite growing criticism
Mayor Mamdani says he will attend New York City's annual remembrance ceremony.

A truck driver working 40-hour weeks to make $50,000 a year pays about $3,800 in federal income tax. An 8% rate. An investor earning the same $50,000 in long-term capital gains pays $0. Work gets punished. Wealth gets rewarded. This tax code is a scam.

I love how Hollywood executives scream antisemitism on actors who call them out on being greedy bastards but nobody has a problem with assholes saying Mamdani shouldn’t attend 9-11 ceremonies because he’s Muslim?

Zohran Mamdani released 170K documents revealing that post-9/11 asbestos levels remained dangerous for months, despite officials saying the air was safe. As we saw at the start of COVID, officials still treat essential workers as expendable. This is a long-overdue step in the right direction.

The only reason that some people are demanding Mayor Mamdani skip the 9/11 ceremony is pure Islamophobia. Period.

Fecking Sabalenka's screaming, not even beginning her scream until the ball has left her strings, is FECKING BULLSHITE. I've played tennis from age 10 through collegiately and this shite CANNOT stand. Shouting is one thing. Shouting wholly AFTER the ball has left one's string is EXPLICITLY ILLEGAL.

After multiple matches were disrupted by “influencer“ douchebags using spectator areas as content creation spaces, I was happy to read that Wimbledon will not be credentialing influencers and plans to confiscate ring lights and other items that can disrupt play. 👍🎾 www.dailymail.com/sport/tennis...

His "movement" & virulent intransigence got us T-Rump 2016. He's a feckless mouthpiece for petulant children with zero concept of responsibility to team & one another. He COULD HAVE vociferously endorsed HRC but he hedged, believing Dem/Prog/DSA would prevail & he could appear politically "pure".
