I post about the mainstream media centering their reporting on conservatives; I also post on LGBT issues. Occasionally I write an article or two.

There’s a tweet for everything

Trump tweeted:

Obama should play golf with Republicans & opponents rather than his small group of friends. That way maybe the terrible gridlock would end.

At what point does the public recognize that this and all the similar actions are not a push to send America to the far right, but a push to destroy the country?

Putin must be looking on with glee.

This is what they will say about us all, because we are living in a world where things happen based solely on what violent men say.

it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

A reminder the Democratic Party is not an opposition party.

It exists solely to prevent the country from moving too far left.

The indictment of a sitting Attorney General for spurious charges is, even for the Trump administration, a shocking abuse of power. I stand with Attorney General James and the rule of law. These charges will be thrown out quickly if there’s any justice left in the United States.

And you push this?

Energy requirements for AI mean that the only way for the bubble not to burst would require companies to multiply their carbon footprint to an unimaginable degree. Right now, while AI is barely functional and mostly a novelty for the lazy, it requires so much energy that data centers rival cities.
