See, I link the seizure of the tanker to US authoritarian efforts, not counter-drug, but what do I know? I'm just someone who actually did counter drug in the Caribbean, and prolly got 10 years more in the military than the whole Cabinet put together?

#Data integration is hard. When you centralize data you create new/novel #risk. When those doing the work lack expertise in the data you're combining, well... you accidentally snatch the wrong person off the street, or dead someone still living.

It was the tariffs! That's why they put them on the penguin Island (I mean, makes as much sense as anything tariff related?)
Srsly tho, can we stop frakking up the planet pls? Stop warming the oceans? Dystopia kind of sucks.

Fewer than 10,000 breeding pairs of critically endangered African penguins remain. In two key colonies in South Africa, the vast majority of the breeding birds likely starved to death because of a collapse of their food supplies, according to a new study.
What caused a massive die-off of penguins off the South African coast?
There are fewer than 10,000 breeding pairs of African penguins left today.

At the same time, corporations are building hundreds of energy-hungry data centers, and working families are being forced to absorb the cost. Higher bills for us, higher profits for them. seiu.co/3M71usW
