Which is why I completely disavowed all my relatives except immediate siblings.

No aunts, uncles or cousins.

People who live in big cities and have MAGA relatives in rural and suburban areas are getting deja vu, that's for sure.

We've all had conversations with relatives who insist they know better than us what our cities are like. That we must be deluded not to see the constant riots and muggings.

Why is Pritzker the only one acting this way?
We need more than one person telling Trump to fuck off

Pritzker: “This is a convicted felon…who is threatening to jail me. This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump: If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me.”

There is no better example of "nothing matters" than the med mal industry.

It's only malpractice if patient is young and or rich

Patient Harm: When An Attorney Won’t Take Your Case

Studies show that nine of 10 patients seeking a medical malpractice attorney won’t find one — women, children and the elderly in particular.

My friend was an MP during the Iraq war. He told me about how contractors choose the specific reserve troops from WV for torturing prisoners at Abu Ghraib. Look at these guys, from Texas.

The odds of them becoming allies is magical thinking.

Kate Starbird @katestarbird.bsky.social · 1d

The comments on this post are … something. The lack of empathy, political imagination, and strategic thinking is troubling. C’mon folks. Ben points out a vulnerability and lever (the NG troops who could become allies against these deployments) and the replies are like, “Nope. Eff that. Eff them.”

Texas National Guard troops arriving in Chicago (via ABC News)

Remember: These are not MAGA stormtroopers. These are everyday teachers and accountants who signed up to serve their country with their spare time. They're being used as political pawns by venal, un-American, draft-dodging president

Miller is probably correct if you only look at DC and Congress.
They are too bunkered to understand anything or anyone.

The Locals won't tolerate it. Come into Pittsburgh and disrupt a Steelers game and and MAGA will lose for decades

In case you, like me, saw your electric bill more than double.

Peter Butler @peter-butler.bsky.social · 1d

Bloomberg research found wholesale electricity up ~270% in areas near data centers

It doesn't seem like nearly enough people are taking it seriously

One A.I. image isn't too much energy, but 5 million videos? Per day/hour/minute whatever. It's not sustainable

AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring

Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

A 5-year-old desktop is fine for most users, but GPUs for an AI data center are a different thing because energy is such a large component of costs. It would not be surprising if today's GPUs cannot be profitably used in data centers 5 years from now solely because they're too energy inefficient.

The best Penguins game I have watched in many years. Not exciting chaos which can be fun but as good as team play gets.
