Yup. And none of this even takes into account the amount of power this stuff takes…like grid straining levels. Add on the fact that Trump & company are pushing coal & gas again, & we’re already seeing on-site fossil fuel powered data centers pop up as it’s the cheapest, most easily accessible power.

TFW the normy, mainstream press starts getting marginally concerned about an issue your industry has been raising red flags about for the past 2 years…

The thing I love most about Zohran Mamdani are his ideas for how to make working people’s lives better. I also love how those same ideas make the most greedy people alive utterly furious.

Man Tests If Tesla Autopilot Will Crash Into Wall Painted to Look Like Road YouTuber Mark Rober has perfectly demonstrated why Tesla relying entirely on cameras isn't such a good idea for driver-assistance tech.

The golden genius of the modern fascist movement, outsmarted by a clever roadrunner.

Turning 50 today has taught me 2 things: 1) I shouldn’t expect any kind of birthday greeting from my wife or have the audacity to ask for one. 2) From the “present” she got me, I guess I’m officially in the “let’s hurry up & get you dyin’” phase of life. 🪦💀

A screen shot of tweet from US Rep. Mike Collin’s of George. Above a picture of Donald Trump & JD Vance in church w/ their respective wives, he writes, “The person giving this sermon should be added to the deportation list.”

Holy shit…there are truly some evil motherfuckers representing the people of the US.

Which means that a majority of the deplorables of this asshole’s district are just as bad as him, if not worse.

It doesn’t, but it makes big pharma & health insurance company lobbyists & their respective masters happy, and as long as they continue sucking up to him that’s all that really matters, right?

If you went to college…

1) What was your career goal when you started?
2) What was your initial major?
3) If you changed majors, what did you change to?
4) What do you do now?

1) To become a USAF research physicist & hopefully work on UFOs 🛸 👽😅

No such thing as an ignorant question, so thanks for asking. 😊

AFAIK, it’s not an official part of the ceremony, but has just become custom for POTUS to occasionally attend services at the National Cathedral. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t even consider myself Christian anymore, but THIS is how true Christians should speak truth to power.

It’s Trump, so it may not make an iota of difference, but Rev. Budde here obviously has more courage than 99% of journalists who would never say that to his face.

Oof…this keynote / panel discussion on “global perspectives on decarbonization through electrification” has somehow turned into a bitcoin mining jerkoff session among cryptobros. 🤢🤮

At this point, I’m of the mindset that referring to MAGA, & therefore 1/3~1/2 of my fellow Americans, as “a bunch of deplorables” doesn’t nearly come close to the truth.
