Yes, but that's why Trump loves the uneducated...

Given the argument that we're in an "A.I. Arms Race" with China is nonsense (as evidenced by China's imposition of guard-rails on AI): This seems more about helping his cronies out.

Are there any environmentalist groups able/willing to oppose this?

Trump Sacrifices Alaska Wilderness to Help AI Companies

Trump’s approval of the 211-mile Ambler Road Project through Gates of the Arctic National Park hinges on winning an “AI arms race.”

Calling out hypocrisy is a very powerful thing: Look how many GOP politicians ran on anti-gay agendas were brought down by being exposed as being gay?

I don't know how many people would have even been bothered by the person merely being exposed as gay to be honest if they didn't trash gay people.

@democracydocket.com / @marcelias.bsky.social are there any groups that can oppose this while the shutdown is currently in effect?

Ironic for a gay guy to be forcing evangelicalism on others: Doesn't the old testament command death upon gay people?

Disclaimer: I do not support harm to people who are LGBT+, I'm merely pointing out the absurdity and hypocrisy of his outlook

I think it's important that people in the US & the UK who are opposed this start working together and form coalitions.

We also may be able to cover each other's blind-spots and help each other out.

Please share/repost.

This is a very valid question: Keep reposting this.

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and will almost certainly be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for

zipper730.bsky.social @zipper730.bsky.social · 1d

Also, you can sometimes undermine their faith in Trump supporters by telling them that he's owned by powerful financiers instead of fighting the deep-state

zipper730.bsky.social @zipper730.bsky.social · 1d

Which is kind of ironic since he claimed that he's a christian and his favorite passage is very personal to him: Two corinthians, not second corinthians.

You know, two Corinthians walked into a bar...

zipper730.bsky.social @zipper730.bsky.social · 1d

Well, keep hammering away on that, and let's make this whole Jack Smith thing trend.

zipper730.bsky.social @zipper730.bsky.social · 1d

Because he attempted a coup against the United States...

Isn't it amazing that his followers still don't realize that if they had succeeded, they would have been put up against a wall and shot afterwards as they'd "outlived their usefulness".

Revolutionaries eat their own.

zipper730.bsky.social @zipper730.bsky.social · 1d

Exactly, he went from "they raided my home for no reason" to "I already declassified those", to "you planted them" to "I want a special master (i.e. and give those back)".

His followers are stupid and desperate and see their "out" in him.

Entirely true, but has Donald Trump ever let facts get in the way of a good narrative?

zipper730.bsky.social @zipper730.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah right, Donnie tried that awhile back. The logic was remarkable

"I preventively declassified the documents you planted, oh yeah, and give 'em back"

Most pretzels have less contortions than that

Some of the tags are based on the fact that data-centers are popping up all over the place and there have been some success in opposing data-center construction on environmental grounds.

When it comes to the matter of AI, it's important to remember that even for those who cannot commit an enormous amount of efforts, there are small amounts one can commit.

@lincolnproject.us,

I've been told that Trump tends to wear less bronzer when he's confident and more when under stress and, if this is correct: One could theoreticlaly use his bronzer use as a barometric read on his stress level.

What are your thoughts?

There was this guy on YouTube named Gary Linkov who talked about the possible surgeries Trump had on his scalp: It's pretty wild

zipper730.bsky.social @zipper730.bsky.social · 3d

Well, the truth is once he realized he was going bald, he should have just buzzed it all off and went chrome dome. It shows ownership of it and also obscres the exact level of baldness.

That said, he had a lot of hair transplants including rotational flaps and his scalp probably... (cont'd)
