Iβd go further. And I already urged journos to do this a while back: With this regime, EXTREME CLOSE UPSβunflattering for the regime mobster and painful to reader to look atβare the ONLY way to go.
When you get your car back from a Tesla Service Center these days, the βtechnician commentsβ on each of your βcustomer issuesβ? Theyβre βwritten by AI,β so the local service center admitted to me, when I pointed out the screaming error and BS that one techician comment contained. π€·ββοΈ
Eyes on the road, pal, eyes on the road
Oil and gas industry's wish is Trump's command.
Same as it ever was.

Aw, a Hollywood fantasy about a celebrity human pop star actually composing (well, stealing from another human) their music (albeit formulaic generic autotuned could-be-country-could-be-rock-could-be-pop corporate power slop) in 2026, no AIs involved. So quaint. ππ
Even crazier that people are still driving gas vehicles and fretting about gas prices skyrocketing instead of having the slightest concern about rising atmospheric CO2 levels right now

It is WINTER.
What the heck. How can this be next weekβs forecast for Santa Fe?
If you drive a gas car, time to stop.
Why, itβs like heβs setting up the ingredients for a systemic failure domestically (Reichstag Fire 2.0) which they can then use to suspend whatβs left of Constitution, end midterms, declare martial law, fully deploy the coup.
More and more he and his death-cult seem to have the school-shooter mindset: mad at (fearful of) the world; seething over longstanding, unresolved childhood issues; violent inclinations leading to an explosive self-destructive incident where they hope they can take as many down w/ βem as possible. π€·ββοΈ
Amtrak is a filthy, no-good, toxic, rolling septic tank on rails. My last trip, on the Southwest Chief from NM to IL and back, was a sewage-stench nightmare over 3 days. The cars are no-tech, rolling β50s museums that shouldβve been junked decades ago. The rails are ancient and rickety.

The whole article is great: www.theregister.com/2026/02/16/s...
As a Senator from a state w/ an economy utterly dependent on billions of dollars of royalties annually from the production of over 800 million barrels of oil and gas produced per year, are you *sure* you want to talk about the "fossil fuel lobby"? Because that would be most interesting and welcome.
OMG Iβve driven by this entrance for years! had no idea this was the entrance to the Epstein ranch. ππ±
Theyβve been building this elaborate gate for over a year, maybe two.
(By the way the best pizza in Santa Fe is 60 mi south of Santa Fe, in Edgewood: Pizza Barn. One passes right by this gate.)
NARRATOR: The oil and gas industry saw this too, and high-fived each other while chugging beers.
βWhat a doofus!,β said one oilguy.
βYeah but heβs *our* doofus!β said another oilguy.
ugh, this can't be good
when toni the vc takes over, watch out
Make that 3.5hrs and counting
I am tempted to re-enroll in college just to submit essays replete with my beloved em-dashesβjust to be accused by AI bots that Iβm cheating
Thereβs nothing like a 2hr megadose of autotuned AI-slop airhead Idiocracy corporate pop probably-all-won-Grammys muzak coming from the ceiling of the waiting area at a car service center to require a full 24hr audio cleanse with Never Mind The Bollocks, Hereβs The Sex Pistols and Whoβs Next π±

For a moment I thought you *were* Darth! Hmmmmmmmmβ¦
Think MOGA, not MAGA.
More Oil and Gas in America. π€·ββοΈ
Not really MAGA: this is all oil and gas industryβs doing. MAGA is just the shadows on the wall that everybody views, thinking itβs reality, when the actual reality is the effing oil and gas industry. Sabotaging EVs, creating βnational securityβ urgencies w/ AI dara centers: all oil/gas shenanigans.
Um
Everyone continuing to put off switching even to a cheap used EVβin 2026βhas a lot of explaining to do.
This too
