Fox/Propaganda viewers are not keeping track of his contradictions, they're consuming the distilled spin that comes out of each situation.

That spin always paints Democrats and the left as unhinged and reactionary when Trump does something wrong. This allows him to skate from outrage to outrage.

Incredible power of AIPAC/Likud displayed -

Through lobbying they're able to place an effective agent of their agenda in charge of one of our largest media entities.

And the new Leader of the MAGA movement will be ... ?

I'm betting they'll try to work on Vance's image, make him say more tough-sounding things to try to draft him more fully into the role.

Vance himself has proven to be as morally malleable as they come, he's political Sully Putty

Not kidding here:

* Trump saw some footage on Fox of something extremely minor happening in Portland a few weeks ago

* That same Fox segment showed footage of stuff burning in Portland during the George Floyd protests in '20

* Trump confused that footage with current events and nobody corrected

Johnson doesn't have the authority to ignore the results of a US election, I expect to see her sworn in no longer than a week from today.

The upper estimate of annual power cost (~$1.2 Bil) could be covered by just 75% of the cab/uber/lyft rides NYC had last year being converted to driverless EV rides.

The other 25% would be profit or could be offered as free fares to people who work in the city.

.. 1 GW back to the hosting state to power it's mass transit infrastructure.

joocifer @joocifer.bsky.social · 1d

* It would take about 1 GW in power to re-charge an entire NYC-sized fleet of EV driverless taxis each night

* Typical fission reactor outputs 1 GW

* Big AI have and are planning multiple 4, 5, 6+ GW plants in multiple states to power DCs

---> have states tie approvals to big AI throwing 1 GW >

Individually their petty grifts often collide with each other (read article, pretty funny)

Collectively they're a malevolent influence on society.

What’s being proposed is old tech for a possibly shrinking user base, though, and for a lot of money. Many say hold off on the free bus idea altogether with the possibility of replacing it with something better soon.

House of South Carolina Judge Criticized by Trump Administration Burns Down

Authorities are investigating a fire at the home of a South Carolina judge who had reportedly received death threats in what could be the latest incident of political violence across the country.

Honest consideration: what if the 'free busses' idea is just a bad idea logistically, what if it's applying an old pie-in-sky solution to something that might have a better, newer solution right on the horizon?

I'm getting way out of my lane but consider taking part in a sleep study. My wife is currently doing one for an unrelated issue and it's telling what they think about dreams and their importance. There might be certain therapies or drugs that can help.

Do you ever wake up with something resolved, or does that never happen?

joocifer @joocifer.bsky.social · 3d

around 30% of the power generated to power these DCs is used to simply cool them

joocifer @joocifer.bsky.social · 3d

Reportedly before the 1st term started, Don Jr was chatting up people in DC seeing if they wanted to run the government from the cabinet secretary level while his dad did stuff like travel around the country doing rallies, 'making the country great again'

This may be that, with added dementia

Much like war, the AI industry may end up accidentally bringing advances, like helping us with power and other vexing issues.

Here's something the AI industry can contribute to society - invent a cheap solar/wind/fission-powered desalinization plant.

It pulls sea water in safely, removes the salt, separates the brine inland to be used for building materials and delivers chilled fresh water for DC cooling.
