Guys it feels like weβre not doing real deal capitalism anymore... Cronyism, state takeovers, tariffs, monopolies, corrupt oligarchy, massive insider trading, bailouts, etc
And on every Republican who enabled the madman to return to power and to govern with no restriction

Fox News pundits (whether placed in gov or remaining at that toxic network) are catastrophically misinformed. The arrogance and hubris of such unqualified, brain-rotted people in even accepting their positions is mind-boggling. Now their incompetence and stupidity is showing for all the world.
AI chatbots are making it easier for 'teenβ accounts to plan violence β even though safeguards exist.
Claude shows whatβs possible: it recognized & refused escalating violent requests in 68% of cases.
The tech exists to prevent harm, so why arenβt more companies using it?

Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand what Peter Thiel is up to: "My technology will take political capital away from your greatest enemiesβliberal women with degreesβand give one of your favorite demographics to patronizeβworking class menβmore political power to transfer to you."

She made a mockery of stare decisis. Having opened that door, it would be karma for her and the rest of MAGASCOTUS to someday see future courts ignore their rulings as well.
Perfect description.
It was never "multidimensional chess" or whatever they were calling it. It's always been a bunch of greedy idiots randomly bouncing from impulse to impulse in search of a payday. Nothing more, nothing less
Host: There are new concerns about the safety of American Social Security data. Officials are looking into a whistleblower complaint about a former DOGE worker who allegedly told several coworkers he had access to highly sensitive records, and he planned to share them with a private employer.
lol entirely lacks context
They used outdated targeting data. Thatβs not even an AI issue.
Is this FBI trustworthy?
Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X.
Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch.
Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp.
And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO.
Yes, this is oligarchy.
Smartmatic β the voting machine company at the heart of Trump's 2020 election lies β just accused the Trump Justice Department of vindictive and selective prosecution, saying that DOJ is now bringing a criminal case against them to further the Trump admin's baseless lies about that vote.

None of them can talk coherently about strategy or goals but they are completely in sync in all their macho posturing because that is all theyβre really focused on. Everything else is just whatever limply offered fiction is convenient to them at the time.
This story suggests that Witkoff and Kushner bungled the negotiations with Iran because they don't understand nuclear technology

Our politics are fundamentally corrupt. And our economy is rigged against working people because of this corruption.

An engineer with deep experience in RO systems reviewed the desal project and found flimsy assumptions, unrealistic estimates, and no serious plan for the vast amount of pretreatment chemicals, sludge waste, and electricity demands... Politicians and businessmen oversold the H2O supply. Good luck TX
So much groundwater has been pumped from underneath Tehran that groundwater strata have crushed and compacted so much theyβll never hold water again. Rather than conserve, Corpus Christi TX is doing the same, destroying the Evangeline Aquifer at more than 8 million gallons per day. (Texas Tribune),
Corpus Christi, Texas reservoirs hit historic low of 10% combined capacity
Lake Corpus Christi and Choke Canyon Reservoir hit 10% combined capacity on Jan. 12 as the city races to develop water projects before a November 2026 emergency deadline.

Texas is so incredibly mismanaged, it's now a race to see which area of the state becomes uninhabitable first. Space Karen's new lithium refinery is operational, but Corpus Christi was predicted to run out of water in EARLY 2027 before they ever used a drop.

Actually energy independence is national security. Having allies is national security. Hardening our semiconductor supply chain wouldβve been national securityβ¦ Everything these MORONS have been doing has made us less safe.
China leapfrogged us by a combination of their own cleverness and stealing our IP. Theyβve made impressive strategic investments and thanks to Trump they now have access to our most advanced chips to further develop their AI. Why sit back when a blockaid of Taiwan can set US AI companies back years
Guys, if China blockades Taiwan wonβt our AI progress more or less come to a halt? US chips (like Nvidia, AMD, Apple) are not fully complete until they undergo advanced finishing in Taiwan. Taiwanβs a crucial link in our semiconductor supply chain. Do you think Republicans have prepared us for this?
When the Dems retake the House, they should force every one of those DOGE bros to testify and if there is any grounds for prosecution to do it swiftly.
Techies need to have inputs that enforce consequences on their actions.
