The completely false comparison to the dot com bubble by the scammers themselves is based on their hope to continue the scam after it loses investors a ton of money because it only burns money. There is no actually profitable and productive use case. It’s just garbage.

Private porkins and the lard platoon are being lead by lieutenant drunkard to *checks notes* stand around and yell at anyone not caucasian after drunkenly yelling at the top brass he gathered in one place, jeopardizing the chain of command, about doing “hard pt” when he can’t do a pull up.

Most of these companies will lose a fuck ton of money in the next few years when the scam bubble pops. Except it’s not like the dot com bubble, where at least the underlying technology was useful, this time it’s just theft powered garbage that burns money and the planet.

A giant scam propped up by companies that steal people’s work and burn the planet and hundreds of billions of $ that they have no hope of making back to make inferior slop versions of it now carry $1.2T of debt that will never be paid back. And the media has bought the scam too.

Adams drops out of race for mayor of New York City Eric Adams stated that he has felt "immense pride" serving New York City residents as mayor.

He went to the tailor, told him, “throw a bunch of menorahs and stars of David on a robe so I can blend in” then went to a Rosh Hashanah service. He didn’t even get the right number of candles on there.

Bari Piss, went from piss takes in the piss take column to filling the CBS newsroom full of piss. Per her first star wife email, “all headlines must now be piss takes, anything not including piss takes will not be allowed to be published or broadcast. It is my honor to bring piss takes to CBS”

Railroad Barons Launch an Astroturf Campaign For Their Mega-Merger Those supporting a new railroad monopoly include paid-off politicians, business partners, and… an anti-monopoly group?

Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern, two of the nation's largest rail companies, are trying to merge. Unions and impacted industry groups oppose the deal. That hasn't stopped the rail behemoths from trying to astroturf the appearance of public support.

A guest post from Brett Heinz:

Seattle Spent Millions on Hotel Rooms to Shelter Unhoused People. Then It Stopped Filling Them. Early last year, the city signed a $2.7 million lease extension to continue using a hotel’s rooms as shelter space. Yet despite committing to pay the rent, the city stopped sending people there.

Huntley backs out of planned Metra station for new passenger train service between Rockford and Chicago Huntley has officially backed out of obtaining a Metra train stop on the planned Chicago-to-Rockford passenger line, village officials confirmed Friday.

A cheap trick by Huntley, IL officials: We're pulling out of plan for a station on Rockford Metra line due to fear of traffic jams, parking crunch. Hopefully Huntlians who were looking forward to commuter rail service are gonna raise hell.

Except they’d still take tons of bribes via citizens united and SCOTUS rulings gutting campaign finance laws. We need to overturn citizens united via legislation too.

When Private Equity Takes over Nursing Homes, Mortality Rates Jump The incentives of private-equity-owned companies don’t always encourage good patient outcomes.

They sacrifice grandma for money in the nursing homes they buy up.

@esghound.com @kenwhite.bsky.social, what are the legal reasons why this doesn’t happen?

The Ford government wanted to get rid of all the speed cameras because their cabinet ministers kept a getting caught breaking the law by them.

If the regime hadn’t fired all the inspectors general and put an oligarch puppet in charge of the OMB the oligarchs’ companies would be investigated and likely prosecuted for fraud and breach of contract. They gutted the agencies in charge of keeping them from stealing taxpayer dollars.

They’re taxing your pasta to pay billionaires hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars for tech that doesn’t work and is infested with security vulnerabilities like palantir and anduril’s shitty “battlefield communications” software that gives everyone admin access.

The regime has decided to make a staple of working family dinners 91% MORE expensive. This is from the guy who campaigned on “egg too expensive, I make egg cheap” and the whole media echoed it for a year! Your groceries and electricity are now far more expensive than they were a year ago.

Hello citizen, in order to keep you safe, we made sure that you have to now give away all your sensitive info to companies that will make no effort to protect it, and will eventually expose it to anyone who breaches the database, but it's all for your safety of course

"you can trust us...we do not even *retain* your private data its not like its just lying around in an AWS instance somewhere we forgot about"

if there is one sad truism about online it is despite any reassurances they may give u companies are simply unable to protect anything you give them

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social wants to make every American upload their IDs to companies that will inevitably use them for ending any semblance of privacy and inevitably leak them in data breaches with little recourse.

"just upload a scanned image of your drivers license no big deal"

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

Dream job

Lest we forget man-pooping and man-farting.

The gestapo is complaining it isn’t allowed to use the bathrooms in public buildings while deploying the military on US soil in US cities and disappearing US citizens and legal permanent residents to concentration camps. Have they not heard of Portapotties and common decency?

oh for fuck's sake

A guild navigator from dune floating in a tank of spice melange.

Time article written by rfk jr: austistic people spend their lives in tanks filled with liquid tylenol mutated into fish like forms experiencing 7,000,000 autisms per second, allowing them to navigate space at faster than light speeds. They are the only thing that lets the empire reach arrakis.

Screenshot of LinkedIn post from Yellowknife Mayor describing the costs and consequences of trucks having gotten so much bigger. In the link, he explains the backlash he received for his post.

This is good —the Mayor of Yellowknife NWT in Canada’s far north weighs in on “Car Bloat” (truck bloat actually) and its many big costs & consequences (thanks @davidzipper.bsky.social for heads-up). And like most who dare tell the truth about that, he’s taking flack.

Anduril and Palantir are being paid billions of taxpayer dollars to make software filled with security vulnerabilities that lacks basic access control for the military. Absolute garbage quality while being paid our Medicaid money.

The 11061 varies in effectiveness on slipperier and softer insulation materials. That’s why I prefer the catapult.
