The deeper irony The more capable AI becomes, the more energy hungry it is.A superintelligent AI wouldn’t think its way to running cool,it would just need even bigger cooling systems. So AI can optimize cooling significantly,

This is now the Republican Party.

WATCH — @anneapplebaum.bsky.social : “Trump entered office worth $2.3 billion and is now worth $6.5 billion… Decisions are made based on what's good for the president's own companies, not Americans… for example — why did the Saudis invest $2 BILLION in Kushner’s companies?”

So much for backing the blue and being patriotic

Let’s not pretend this is complicated theology. It is not. You cannot stand in front of a golden statue built to glorify a political leader, surround it with preachers, bless it, praise it and then act shocked that the rest of us might consider it a false idol. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

The national debt just crossed a once-unthinkable threshold: It now exceeds 100% of America’s GDP. But there's an important piece missing from the conversation about the debt that you should know about. Let me explain... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-no-one-will-tell-you-about-the

I don’t get why anyone would let their child go to a state where one is not treated as an equal.

This checks..

KIMMEL: “You know how sometimes you wake up and the First Lady demands you be fired? We’ve all been there, right? — I agree hateful, violent rhetoric is something we should reject… a great place to start to dial that back would be to talk to your husband.”

Just a reminder that Congressional Republicans are gross enablers of Trump’s chaos.

So the richest greatest country on the planet earth can’t take care of its own citizens while paying for an excursion/war and while cutting taxes for the wealthiest people. Here is my concept of a plan,either stop the war or raise the taxes back up to where they were on the wealthy or do both.

PRESIDENT: "We should have a national database of all legal US gun owners." CONSERVATIVES: "YOU CAN'T DO THAT! THAT IS UNAMERICAN!! YOU CAN'T TRACK AMERICAN CITIZENS!!! IT'S AGAINST OUR LIBERTY!!!!" PRESIDENT: "We will have a national database of all legal US voters." CONSERVATIVES: [yawn]

An excellent description of what real masculinity should be, and too often isn't. Along with a description of Robert Mueller's life that included numerous admirable details I'd never know. TL/DR: Optimize for service, not attention. From @profgalloway.com. Read it.

Republicans making it much harder to vote but it’s far easier to get a gun with no ID.

Making America Gas addicted

Trump only hangs out with the best.

So much winning.

I rarely ask this, but please spread this widely. It is perhaps one of the MOST ludicrous actions of this administration ... and that's a very, very high bar.

In 2024, Donald Trump campaigned on two big promises: (1) he'd bring down gas prices; and (2) he'd not start any new wars. In 2026, Donald Trump will cause gas prices to spike astronomically by starting a new war. He's smart—and trustworthy—like that.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.

The upshot is this: If Congress bans institutional investors from owning homes, at best it will probably have no effect on housing costs for normal people. At worst, it could raise costs.

So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold. We really are not a very good-natured country.

Resistance infrastructure.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Pam Bondi is a pedophile protector. It’s her lifelong work.

The political class and business elites would be happy to see attention to Epstein fade away. But the broader public won't allow it. They correctly sense something is rotten about the earlier investigations (or the lack thereof) and the current coverup...and they're right.

Lutnick and Epstein were in business together, Epstein files show U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has said he had "limited interactions" with Jeffrey Epstein, but documents show they were in business together as recently as 2014. CBS News

Do not let any Republican today get away with the “I haven’t seen the video/image” bullshit. Do not let ANY of them get away with that cowardly bullshit today.

What Are They Doing When No One is Looking? open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Do you know what is destroying America? White Christian Nationalist pastors.

This is an OUTRAGEOUS assault on the press and just goes to show that Convicted Felon Donald Trump doesn’t want people to see the truth about what is happening in our country when he tries to silence us!

Trump comes out against the 2nd Amendment.

Police Confirmed Alex Pretti was a US Citizen with a gun permit and his gun was REMOVED prior to officers fatally shooting him to death. Video evidences shows that Alex Pretti never drew the gun.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

This is cold-blooded state murder of an US citizen. Stephen Miller called Alex Pretti a "domestic terrorist" & claimed he was trying to "assassinate" federal officers. A total lie. Only a cretin would hurl this falsehood & stick with it. This a fascistic and reckless disregard of life & the truth.

ICE stopped an off-duty U.S. officer, demanded papers, knocked her phone away, drew guns—no warrant, no suspicion. This violates the First and Fourth Amendments - PAXIS app breaks it down. Help bring this civic tool to every phone: gofund.me/8387b641a%EF...

This is going well.

NEW SUBSTACK: Trump didn’t send federal agents into Minnesota for immigration. He sent them to punish a blue state he lost. Texas & Florida have millions more undocumented residents — they were ignored. This wasn’t enforcement. It was intimidation.

Donald Trump needs to focus less on nuking Italy, and more time on lowering grocery prices for average Americans

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.
