Softbank's Masayoshi Son is touting both AI and nuclear fusion as a power source for it. I have to ask: How far removed from reality can you be? 3000 GW of power just for AI data centers is over 80% of average global power usage, or 30 times the average power use for all of Japan. For what? 1/8

Isn't it weird that this week a currently sitting president had to pay a woman MILLIONS of dollars for *raping* (and defaming) her—and the media has forgotten all about it? There was a time that this would have been the ONLY story—until the rapist was driving from office.

"pro-life", if you don't count 150 children murdered in a girls' school, Renee Goode, Alex Pretti, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Joan Sebastian Guerrero and so far over a million deaths of adults and children resulting from the elimination of USAID.

OTD in 2009 Natalia Estemirova received Russia's prestigious 7.62mm award for investigative journalism & died at the scene She reported on Novye Aldi massacre on 5/2/2000. We killed 60 civilians, raped at least 6 women & burnt homes Imagine our army still doing that..

Back from back when Lindsey had not yet sold his soul to a conman.

Day Two in a nutshell

"I heard somebody say ''that's because bots can't attend a festival'' and I thought that was kind of fascinating because you can tell us day to day how popular you are (...) but you can not bring people out to celebrate something if they are not there to celebrate." Leigh McGowan (PoliticsGirl)

We are all Belgian this morning.

Billionaires borrow against their wealth, pay a little interest & report zero income. While you pay taxes on every paycheck. The system is rigged but we can fix it by taxing what they actually earn each year & not a paycheck they never cut.

The Android Earthquake Alerts System that alerted 11 million mobile phone users in Venezuela about the two earthquakes is not available in Japan. Unlike Venezuela, Japan operates its own alert system that detects quakes to send out mobile alerts to both Android devices and iPhones!

"I am not an anti-semite because Arabs also speak a semitic language and I don't hate Arabs" is not the flex you think it is. This term has never been about languages, it's about bigotry against Jews and you know that.

Having no diesel for farm machines to bring in the harvest in Russia this year comes on top of halted fertilizer exports from the Persian gulf due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This does not bode well for global food prices next year. It is due to two wars of choice.

The closest the Confederacy got to the White House was a distance of 4 miles in 1864. Before Trump.

Supreme Court decides in a 5:4 ruling that water is wet.

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

"Was machen die AfD-Wähler bei einem Verbot"? Wählen, wen sie wollen? Hauptsache eine verfassungstreue Partei. Oder halt auch gar nicht. Es gibt kein Recht auf die Wahl von verfassungswidrigen Parteien, im Gegenteil. Die müssen verboten werden, DAMIT man frei wählen kann, was man will.

Bei einem ordentlich gemachten Verbotsverfahren gegen die AfD gibt es zwei mögliche Ausgänge: - Die AfD wird verboten - Die AfD wird nicht verboten, weil sie sich während des Verfahrens mäßigt und Verfassungsfeinde rausschmeißt Oder anders ausgedrückt: Die Demokratie gewinnt immer.

From "a gas station with nukes" to "a gas station without gas". Thank you, Ukrainian defenders! 🇺🇦💥

Ich habe mir diese Woche zusammen mit Studierenden die Tageshöchsttemperaturen im Juni angeschaut: 1. Die Tageshöchsttemperatur im Juni an einem Standort ist eine zufällige Größe mit breiter Verteilung 2. Die Verteilung war bis ca. 1970 ziemlich stabil 3. Nach 1970 verschiebt sich die Verteilung

Dieses Bild treibt den Gaskraftwerksbetreibern den Angstschweiß auf die Stirn. Gaskraftwerke brauchen die Preisspitzen um sich zu rechnen. Fallen die weg - baut keiner mehr Gaskraftwerke.

Die Anzahl der Hitzetage hat sich von Jahrzehnt zu Jahrzehnt verdoppelt, schon vier Jahrzehnte lang.

Adam. It's a Cult. When are people just going to say it out loud and report on it. Because it's not politically correct? MAGA is a Cult by the very definition & Trump is the Cult Leader. A Cult leader is never wrong in the eyes of (in this case) his supporters. He could shoot someone on 5th Ave.

Nobody has any respect for him. NOBODY. Him saying it doesn't make it so.

On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger delivered an order to finally enforce the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing 250,000 enslaved Black Texans. 22 years after Juneteenth, on Aug. 15, 1887, that former slaves founded Eatonville – "the Town the Freedom Built.” Happy Juneteenth!

You're not supposed to say this, but conservatives hate HPV vaccines because they think that removing the risk of cervical cancer from sex incentives women to be sluts. It's been a Christian thing since way before RFK Jr. was around, everybody knows what it's about, but you have to pretend not to.

Do go on.

It is the largest oil refinery in Moscow. Or rather, it was. 🔥

‘The Art of the Deal’ Was a Lie "There’s no business mastermind running the country. There’s only an inconsistent, unpredictable man who is so susceptible to agreeing with the last person who spoke to him that he gets very little done at all." otherwords.org/the-art-of-t...

Must be the ink coming off the $14.2 million in taxpayer money that was sunk there...

Genghis Khan killed millions of people but he also fathered hundreds of children. Could Elon Musk do the same thing?

Putins Flugzeugträger “Крым”🧵 Hochgerüstet mit über 220 Militäranlagen, spielte die Krym eine wichtige Rolle als Machtprojektion und beim Angriff auf die Ukraine 2022. Diese Rolle kehrt sich jetzt dramatisch ins negative um, da die Ukraine die militärische Initiative zurück gewonnen hat: 1/8

This is the article that made me realize how insane the orbital data center idea is. The problem isn't that the technical challenges are insurmountable. It's scale. Orbiting the equivalent of THE ENTIRE ISS would get you.. three server racks worth of GPUs. 200 whole chips. taranis.ie/datacenters-...

Ukrainians who no longer have a roof over their head cos we spent money on bombs and bullets should take note.

lol what an obvious conjob www.nytimes.com/2026/06/08/o...

For the first time ever, China's Top 10 best-selling passenger vehicles were ALL New Energy Vehicles in May 2026. ✅ 8 BEVs ✅ 1 EREV ✅ 1 PHEV ❌ 0 ICE In the world's largest auto market, EVs vs ICE = 10-0. The internal combustion engine era keeps imploding. The speed of disruption is accelerating.

Terror and retribution are a core part of how the Trump administration has governed. DOGE whistleblower had threatening note taped to his door and his brakes cut after Elon Musk accused him of lying. www.wired.com/story/he-ble...

Anthropic and OpenAI are dangerous and unsustainable companies that shouldn’t be taken public. The AI bubble is a con and retail investors are the marks. AI doesn’t have ROI, it’s nothing like AWS or Uber, and it’s got no post-bubble recovery story. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbKD...

The German Federal Grid Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) writes that global LNG output in May 2026 averaged 1.59 billion m3/day, versus 1.56 billion m3/day in May 2025. www.bundesnetzagentur.de/DE/Gasversor... 1/2

Apparently, billionaire influence is only bad when it's the other billionaire. Tom Steyer has spent more than $200 million trying to become governor of California, nearly three times more than all of his opponents combined. I wrote about why that should scare Democrats more than anyone.

The Republican voters of Texas just screwed them selves by choosing Paxton over Cornyn.
