Imagine a world in which no one has a job and 8 guys own 100% of the wealth. Doesn't that sound amazing, Class of 2026?

"birth rates are declining" don't care I already got born

As a guy with half a trillion dollars, I have lots of options: 1. Enjoy a 100% stress-free life doing whatever I please in unfathomable luxury all over the world with people of my choosing 2. Have 87 meltdowns a day on a website

I don’t understand “I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.” Who is even manufacturing crazy pills, why are they FDA approved, etc. Terrible product idea.

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

Gas prices are so high that I went to the car dealership and test drove 3 cars to run my errands.

we should be able to edit other people’s posts as a treat

Grid-scale batteries are going in an absolutely wild pace. Every whingey objection to renewables you've ever heard is basically solved by batteries. This is happening whether any of the hopeless dipshits running the US want it or not.

They keep saying that renewable energy "locks in" fossil fuels. This looks like a lockout to me.

Work requirements for diapers: coming soon to a red state near you

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...

Politically incorrect statement: there are 137 senators in the US Congress.

The real value of social media is being able to post something like "The ass is the father of the legs" and potentially have multiple members of congress see it

thank you for reposting me. i had an inkling you also could not feel shame

When Dorothy wakes up at the end of Wizard of Oz, the threat to Toto seems to be gone— did Mrs Gulch not survive the tornado? Either Dorothy’s anger manifested the killer storm, or, more chillingly, when she kills in her dreams, the victim dies in real life.

Stratos? The guy who killed half the universe in Avengers?

too many stupid people have money; that's why I'm launching protein cigarettes

Incredible community note.

Pope Leo on AI: "When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment... In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth."

Voters in Box Elder County may have a chance to overturn the county commission’s decision to approve the development of a “hyperscale” data center if enough support is gathered to create a land use referendum — and if it's deemed legal. (Abigail Landwehr | The Salt Lake Tribune)

New global economy choke point just dropped.

I'm sorry I'm late to the meeting. As I was parking the car, Darude's "Sandstorm" came on and I had to groove out for three minutes and 52 seconds.

This is not a sentence I expected to read today.

“This is gonna sound crazy, but I swear to God, I keep seeing a green dancing bear on the field,” said Adolis García

Here’s how the AI Boom, such as it is, has impacted my life: it has been used as an excuse to lay off my friends for bot equivalents that never came. It has made mass culture and art immeasurably worse. I have a stalker with AI psychosis. So, no, I don’t more data centers. I want less of all that.

This robot installs 80 panels/hour. One every 45 sec. 1,920/day ≈ 0.0008 GW/day per line. Sounds small. It’s not. Scale this across thousands of lines and #solar becomes manufacturing, not construction. 👉 10,000 lines = 8 GW/day. That’s HOW China is winning the energy game.

Because it’s fun, and because today is the day to do it, and especially because it will piss some people off, here’s my Star Wars movie top five: 1. The Empire Strikes Back 2. The Last Jedi 3. Dune: Tattooiine 4. How Kylo Got His Groove Back 5. Spaceballs

We cannot have sustainable energy because it threatens the oil industry. We cannot have healthcare because it threatens insurance. We cannot have peace because it threatens the weapons industry. Capitalism built a system where doing the right thing is treated like bad business.

Too few people know the joy of Having That Cable.

This week, the Supreme Court finally killed off the Voting Rights Act of 1965. I've spent the past decade studying the VRA and the attacks on it, so I thought I would offer some historical perspective, and where I think we're headed. This will be a long thread; buckle up.

Our once-great country has forsaken the true meaning of Loyalty Day.

Trump finally did it!

Life goals.

Corn ethanol serves no purpose and is purely a handout to farmers. It costs more and emits more than normal petroleum. And it takes up half as much land area as all urban and suburban land in the US. If we replaced the land with solar, we'd get 3x as much power as the US uses.

Happy Loyalty Day, everyone! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyalty... To counter the pernicious commie influence of International Workers Day, President Theophilus "Dwight" Eisenhower made Loyalty Day an official national holiday in 1958. Almost nobody noticed.

fine i will play for the atlanta hawks

Exactly. The DOJ will only charge the people the president perceives as political enemies. Selective prosecution motion GRANTED. So ordered.

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

In the demented world of Dem consultants, the way for an aspiring Democrat to set themselves apart, to prepare for a national run, is to find a key area of political & policy disagreement between the parties ... and side with Republicans.

Why yes, I *am* giving my banking info to an app I heard about on a podcast.

86 'em. ... Why did a SWAT team just pull up?

There are four black SUVs parked outside my house because I dropped my fries 🍟 at McDonald’s.

Cannot stress enough that what's happening now and will accelerate over next few weeks is a big spike in fuel costs paid for by every American that will flow *directly* into insane, unprecedented profits for American oil companies. They're going to be the big winners of this.
