Elon Musk Gambles Billions in Memphis to Catch Up on AI xAI aims to win the tech arms race with its “Colossus” data centers, thrown up at lightning speed. The city is divided over the massive power and water demands.

“Musk’s data centers will probably bring in only a few hundred jobs to Memphis while consuming millions of gallons of water a day and more electricity than is needed to power all the city’s homes.”

And yet there is no streaming service I can get that excludes sports.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

Would honestly not be surprised if he instigates a war to try to stay in power.

There is no actual democracy in the world where minority parties, controlling <exactly none> of the legislative or executive institutions of the government, are expected to save the governing majority from itself. Only in America, where Murc's Law Trumps everything else.

Huh.

One thing that's happening in Portland that Fox News won't tell you is that aggressive, drunk, right wingers have shown up at the ICE facility trying to start fights and the protesters there have not taken the bait. Therefore the story has become "look how Antifa-friendly the Portland police are!"

Spending $200 billion on ICE is a terrible idea I've covered federal law enforcement for two decades. Here are the things that worry me most.

"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."

This obviously raises more questions about Joe Biden's mental competence

I’m going to stop asking for proof of life because when it comes, it’s terrible.

I try not too share video or photos of him but WHAT THE FUCK.

Same judge. While Miller rails about judges.

US conservatives under Obama would sometimes wistfully post training footage of Russian special forces, like "look at what the real manly countries are doing instead of our woke baby military" and then all those VDV guys got annihilated within the first 3 days of the Ukraine invasion

... he's in his second term now.

This has been a rough weekend. It feels pivotal somehow although I've felt that way so many times now that I suspect it's really just another step in the long, horrible Bataan Death March of a 2nd Trump term.

I understand why people are just refusing to pay attention. But it won't spare them.

So is this violent abusive fuckwad.

'Very difficult situation': Kristi Noem whines locals not letting ICE agents use restrooms Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem complained that her agents were not being permitted to use restrooms in Chicago because of opposition from residents.During a Sunday interview on ...

Wow, it must be terrible being told that you can’t use the bathroom.

If any other president said something like this in a speech to a military academy, it would be a massive scandal. Instead, it isn’t among the ten most dangerous things he’s done this week.

“How can Portland POSSIBLY stand against the might of the federal government?!”

“Let me introduce you to our frog.”

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.

This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.

The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.

They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.

Stay strong Portland.

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government

One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

i think the key to understanding a lot of establishment discourse is that basically only the left and liberals are capable of being viewed as subjects capable of judgement which is why GOP rule is essentially treated as a force of nature

1. Take this seriously. Here is how you do it. Take a screenshot of the #HatchAct violation, whether it's on LinkedIn or other social media or on the actual US Government website. When you file your complaint, provide your personal contact information. If you're a furloughed fed, you're off-duty.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

The Trump administration has cancelled 4,304 deliveries to food banks so far this year, refusing to deliver 94 million pounds of contracted-for food. Food banks simply can’t feed people enough anymore. Millions of Americans are going hungry as a result.
