Two things that Elon #Musk revealed. Not just the Nazi salute, but he also said (at the pre-inauguration rally) that the foundation that the #Trump administration is setting will last for centuries.

Why are elections so close, especially in the face of growing political polarization, that the pendulum can so easily swing back and forth? There is some social randomizing factor that sociologists, political and data scientists need to uncover to understand. This is required to make social progress

He spent Biden’s entire presidency calling him ‘Sleepy Joe’. Still does. But this guy nods off in the middle of the day in meetings almost every day. Fell asleep in court all the time too.

It's funny that the protatalist and dysgenics movements worry about stupid people overwhelming the elites like in the movie "Idiocracy" when the world is achieving it without generations of breeding. The spread of post-truth, profit-driven, exploitation of consumerism will get us there sooner.

Why isn't MAGA a Party, like the Tea Party? Why didn't Never Trumper Republicans force MAGA into a separate party?

Corporate Democrats will do well in the 2026 election because Trump is so bad, not because Democrats are doing well.
Schumer and Jeffries sent another letter to Trump. You can see that they are continuing to keep a low profile, waiting for the 2026 election.
Dems: When they go low, we lay low.

The Republicorp Party push for more Americans into poverty is because the corporate overlords need a low-wage workforce. Overseas laborers are moving into the middle class so more Americans need to be moved into the lower class.

Marco Rubio should be considered to be a DREAMer, subject to DACA. The hypocrisy is unbelievable. Will JD advocate for the elimination of birthright citizenship in order to eliminate Rubio as competition in the race to succeed Trump?

The House progressive caucus should abandon the Democratic Party and declare themselves Democratic Socialists, creating a new party. The Dems are not changing their corporate ways. There needs to be a party that is an alternative to the two corporate parties. Link arms with Mamdani and move forward.

The best counter example to compute concentration in #AI datacenters is SETI@home, crowdsourced idle CPUs. There is no deadline for human progress. Humanity is another example of distributed computing. Humanity can move at humanity's speed. There's no need for superhuman progress.

The circular jerk economy of #AI is what you get when business majors are first exposed to the concept of extrapolation and drop out to start their first company before next week's class of the risks of making decisions based upon extrapolation.

Talk about the problem of nuclear waste... What do you do with the hardware in the #AI datacenters when it is obsolete in a year? And the year after that?

#AI datacenters are the new indoor shopping malls. Everything you could want under one roof. You don't have to experience the real weather outside.
Been to an indoor mall recently? A lot of empty space, if it hasn't already been demolished to make way for something else.

The Dutch election is another close one. Many elections in the US are close. Even with such polarization of the political opponents. Why are they so close?
There's some randomizing factor in how people adopt their political viewpoint.

SA's (States of America, not United) winner-take-all political system extends to more than elections. That a simple majority in Congress can make all investigations one-sided is a critical failure in the system.

House Oversight isn't just hard on the Biden autopen (another Comer sham investigation-the new Hillary email server and Hunter laptop), but also "issuing misleading medical reports" about Biden. That's rich projection, after Trump's "nobody has ever given you reports like I gave you." MAGA Gaslight.
