BUT to be FAIR, this is coming from someone who understands what “would be financially catastrophic to the region” since Trump is the one who f’ed Atlantic City and all the business owners and workers he stiffed in his time going bankrupt down there.

ICE arrested two men outside their church yesterday in Union City.
This makes me furious and should piss off everyone. Places of worship used to be “sensitive locations” i.e. off limits under prior administrations but now that’s no longer the case because of Trump.

Putin stepped too hard on the rake and is kaput and his successor will have a mighty job digging out. Meanwhile, the power shift between Beijing and Moscow is going to make westward troublemaking dumb. And WEUR should force the issue - Russia as eastern frontier. Suck it, Kremlin.

Complex attrition intensifying.
When Putin did not realize the error between March/October 2022, the only other end was collapse. That takes time and the metrics are fuzzy - the object level of destruction across the board is uneven and not total. It's fractions that accumulate strategically.

the end of this war is getting steeper and faster. Russia is staring disaster in the face. Putin is destroying his country and its future. They will not recover from this in decades. Ukraine needs to keep up the pressure, keep resisting and we must keep supporting them to the end.

Infrastructure can be hard after you’ve made a career of stiffing contractors and running projects over budget and behind schedule.
These tunnels were built in 1910 and carry the busiest passenger rail line in America.

The Times did AOC a favor making minor issues seem like the problem. Because a lot of what she said could be brutally taken down. Consider this a bit of grace for her to mature rather than the substantive critique that could be written.

It’s also not true. It’s apples to oranges. Both Obama and Clinton levels of deportations were fueled by rapid border removals. Trump, through brutality and defiance of the law, has managed to halt most border crossings. Deportations from the interior are at record levels. That can’t be done nicely.
Hilary Clinton over at one of those Davos/Epstein class panels arguing that Democrats are better than Republicans at deportations so perfectly, ironically, and unwittingly encapsulates how we got to this moment. Democrats need wholesale leadership change. And quick.

Personally I think Ossoff should be in the mix for the Dems in 2028. He’s young, but maybe not too young (AOC) articulate and unapologetic.
Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

But the real problem isn’t just how much power they use.
It’s how they use it.
Off-grid data centers won’t work, so most are looking at hybrid approaches.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.
"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.

Why an A.I. Video of Tom Cruise Battling Brad Pitt Spooked Hollywood
A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more cinematic than anything so far.

What are peoples petty reasons for ending a relationship? Mines because her duvet was too high a tog and stupidly heavy. Was awful, Duvet cover was really baggy too so you'd get caught up in it all night long.
