It's funny how as I read more into the Old Testament, the wider the canyon between conservative politics and Christian values becomes in my eyes.
Let me repeat: I'm reading the OLD TESTAMENT. The age of Law, not the age of grace. The "hard part" of the bible.

Why does Trump want Greenland? “National security.”

For the White House, ‘national security’ is becoming the answer to every question
Donald Trump and his team have a go-to tactic intended to shut down debate over their goals. It's not working.

BREAKING: Instacart is ending all price testing on its platform in the wake of this report.
EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.
It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.
Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

Billionaire Jared Isaacman has been confirmed by the Senate as the new head of NASA.
His plans for the space agency include a bigger emphasis on commercialization.
And he's also an associate of Elon Musk, having flown twice on SpaceX launches.

My favorite scene from The Manchurian Candidate brilliantly explains why liars like Trump don’t care about the wild numbers they fabricate. Watch Angela Lansbury explain the perverse logic behind it and why it works.

This is extraordinary, heartbreaking, and a red alert warning sign for our democracy.
These people are about to be federal judges, and they refuse to answer whether the U.S. Capitol was attacked on January 6.
They say they can't comment because it's "a political controversy".

Good thing we're powering all these datacenters. That water is going to good use in making:
- coding worse and harder for humans
- job searches worse and harder for humans
- social skills development worse and harder for humans
It only works for the ones who make money off of it.

AI consumed as much water as the water bottle industry this year.
It also created as much carbon pollution as New York City, according to a new study.
