I write funny comments and think John Brown should have more statues.

We just need a few more weeks to delete all mentions of Trump from the files.

Turns out he’s in *a lot* of the pages.

Residents of O Block continue to be confused, as additional law enforcement presence has yet to be seen.
Patrols en force continue on lake and wabbash.
One Agent anonymously said, the river side is great this time of year, and have you tried the restaurants in west loop?

I mean it’s worked so far

Prepare to get more outraged!

The money is all fugazzi, the whole thing is a massive MLM not an LLM (damn i'm quick)

Another reason to despise A.I. , can we even measure the impact of the near trillion dollars spent on massive data centers that will only grow larger?
And our solution to power them is, fire up the diesel generators.

By taking the challenge do you mean handing the country over to the Taliban, getting our allies all slaughtered, turning his back on our interpreters and assets?

I think it's cash money that our foreign policy has become, burn the country down to fund maga splinter cells globally.

More shocked it didn't just go on the shadow docket with the commentary from Roberts that Trump weally weally wants it.

They ceased firing like I quit smoking.
Just long enough to reload and light another one.

I technically quit.

Certainly Trump saying things like "You'll never have to vote again" and "We've got a surprise for Democrats" and touching John Roberts shoulder thanking him personally, saying he will never forget it aren't any reason to be worried.
Nah, our pedophilic techno-oligarchic overlords would never.

As a parent of a disabled child, I cannot explain loudly enough how important things like integrated learning environments, IEP's, reasonable accommodations, specialized care teams and different learning environments are. They want these kids chained to radiators upstate again.

Some of the detail in the Q2 fiscal reporting is really concerning. Not to bore but you take wild import/ export swings out of the GDP calculation and it's cratering. Our economy is being propped up by AI speculation, and everything you need is expensive, while what you want is cheap.

So my stack of vynl records and old VHS tapes, plus my old cassettes are actually stonks? Don't get me started on the piles of books in our house....

I've noticed it with thumbnails. I had figured it was the posters touching stuff up, but it's really obvious tons of thumbnails have had AI pass over them.

So I am not associated with this channel at all, and normally don't share videos but I watched this today and think it helps explain the current policy a lot.

How about a total ban of the products for everyone?
Worse for your brain than fent, worse for the environment than DDT, worse for art than smoking next to the mona lisa.
We banned all those things.

I mean, the right to individual expression and freedom should be the goal of a democratic society. Freedom to live as you choose without violating others rights is sort of the whole point so, transgender for everyone kind of rules.

It would be a great time to localize or regionalize our food chain, restaurant supply chain, grocery supply chain, revitalize local production.
Sadly, like 5 dudes own all the farm land ( massive ag operations) and they grow fuel not food.
As always, small operations are going to get hurt most

You set default search engine to Duck Duck Go or any other search engine of your choice and never look back.

Also swap to Brave, Firefox, hell Linux ideally but I get that's insurmountable for most.

Adam @adubyab.bsky.social · 15d

I think it's unseen, which is why it can be so massive. How much Capex has gone into Data Centers ? How much capital into start ups that will never return revenue? All other sectors have been abandoned practically to make bets on A.I.

Adam @adubyab.bsky.social · 15d

Oh it's all coming together. People who love AI are just breathtakingly stupid, that's why it's march seem inevitable and adoption of it is so rapid. I had thought about it completely wrong. Man, thanks DJT for illuminating that.

Unfortunately, they don't need our empathy when they have our tax dollars. I love funding bailouts for banks, farmers that grow export crops not domestic foods, and other countries.

Adam @adubyab.bsky.social · 16d

Layoffs are great short term for profits. Not to get in the weeds but it's why AI is an endless furnace for capex, it signals the end of labor.
That's the short term though, mid to long, the spending stops, the soft money into 401k's stops, our consumption based economy slumps, then the sell.

I like when they read the provided talking points word for word. Brings clarity.
