Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.
They are openly saying this.
Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

“What we need to do is empower communities and countries, especially in the Global South, to ask what is the public benefit that they are supposed to get from AI, and weigh it very carefully against the severe cost to their climate, to their electricity prices and to their water.”

As a former Christian, I feel compelled to point out that this is quite obviously the mark of the Beast. (Or one of them)
The app Text With Jesus uses artificial intelligence and chatbots to offer spiritual guidance to users who are looking to connect with a higher power: on.nbc10.com/7XM8xrf
People can text with Jesus on a controversial new app. How does it work?
Artificial intelligence app Text With Jesus lets users chat with biblical figures and it is raising debate over faith and technology.

This is why it's astonishing to me that so many people seem to think the Epstein files will somehow bring about the end of his presidency. Emotionally prepare yourself for everyone to KNOW he did it and for 30% of the country to NOT CARE or indeed...defend it.
About 30 % of the nation is still trying to pretend Trump is their god. As soon as really bad Epstein information comes out involving Trump they just normalize it. Half of the Christian Nationalist movement have had fathers and pastors who committed or covered up the same crimes as Trump.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

This is great news.
A highlight of last night I'm not seeing much today:
Spanberger, Shirrell, and Mamdani all won clear majorities of young male voters last night.

More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years.
That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring campaign.
Congratulations to the next mayor of the greatest city in the world. 🗽

its so weird to me that people who think they're going to heaven when they die are currently going around saying the absolute most nasty, despicable, cruel things. Like what do you even think you're going to do in heaven, keep talking about how people need to get a job?

I don't think we understand just how bad the decline of the Internet is to knowledge.
3 years ago, I could perform a very basic search in any engine and get an absurd number of relevant links, research articles, etc.
Today, I can perform the same search and find absolutely nothing.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

I know the hypocrisy is their only consistent feature and I shouldn't let it bother me but this has been driving me NUTS.
When Obama was president the right wing acted like masked government agents were coming to kidnap them and take all their rights away.
Then Republicans get elected and actually do that shit for real.

I remember when I used to go DAYS—WEEKS EVEN—without thinking about the President of the United States because I wasn’t worried about him starting a civil or world war, making a gestapo police force, or ripping our constitution to shreds.
