Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

I spend all this time trying to figure out what the master plan is, and it always hits me: nothing. Just conspiracy brain worms all the way down. And the most smug self-righteousness as Kennedy and cronies destroy over a century of concerted scientific effort and hard work.

Today’s Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military “quick reaction force” and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?

Today's reminder that the reason all of the awful & illegal things keep happening in 🇺🇸 politics, dating back through 1/6, torture, Katrina, Iran-Contra, & Watergate, all the way back to Appomattox, is that there are never any consequences for all of the awful & illegal things happening in 🇺🇸 politics

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

And what did you do to stop it, Senator Schumer, except exactly nothing from the moment Trump won the election, including failing to fill that seat with a Biden appointee and otherwise letting Senate business carry on as if nothing was catastrophically wrong with anything Trump has done.
"To confirm Mr. Bove is a sacrilegious act against our democracy," Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said after the vote. "This is a dark, dark day ... and a dangerous nominee."
