Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
Tina Peters' attorney now says she "has remorse" (satisfying Gov Polis' requirement for clemency) while also claiming Peters is a "martyr" and "scapegoat" who is in prison to cover up the crimes of Colorado's top Democrats. www.9news.com/article/news...
Karp is a psychopath… and I don’t mean that only as a pejorative. He’s actually nuts and has the wealth, power and tools to make his psychotic vision reality.
"The evident fact is that the president is nuts."
THENEW REPUBLIC Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of "highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat" while increasing the power of working-class men. "This technology disrupts humanities-trained -largely Democratic-voters, and makes their economic power less. And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters," Karp said in a CNBC interview Thursday. "And so these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society. And to make this work, we have to come to an agreement of what it is we're going to do with the technology; how are we gonna explain to people who are likely gonna have less good, and less interesting jobs."
Sorry ladies Palantir has a message for you and it’s that Rosie the Riveter also had to eat it and go back to her husband’s kitchen

"We see a future where intelligence is a utility like electricity or water and people buy it from us on a meter and use it for whatever they want to use it for. The demand that we see for that..." - Sam Altman
These bros are not okay.
"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids."
That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.

Iowa farmer: This fertilizer shortage is going to affect everybody. It could lead to a decrease in yields. If you look at that countrywide, corn, soybeans, cotton, rice, that will increase prices. It's gonna be a train wreck for consumers.

I’m working with Governor Gretchen Whitmer on trying to save The Great Lakes from the rather violent and destructive Asian Carp, which is rapidly taking over Lake Michigan, and all of the beautiful surrounds. I’ll be asking other Governors to join into this fight, including those of Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, New York and, of course, the future Governor of Canada, Mark Carney, who I know will be happy to contribute to this worthy cause. Separately, I am also working to save The Great Salt Lake, in Utah, which, in a short period of time, if nothing is done, will have no water. This is on top of everything else I am doing. Only “TRUMP” CAN DO IT! President DONALD J. TRUMP
sir the president is bitching about "Governor Carney" again
