Fucking hell, when the Times calls Harrell out on his bullshit you know it's egregious

Ron Davis @ronpdavis.bsky.social · 2d

Congrats to Harrell who has finally built more shelter than he lost.

13 units in four years.

He promised 2000 & says he built 3000. The Seattle Times shows he is lying, taking credit for others’ work, & for moving tiny homes (counts each move as an opening!)

www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell says he added 3,000 housing units. Did he?

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell is seeking reelection partly based on the claim he’s responsible for adding 3,000 emergency housing units. A deeper look reveals that’s an embellishment.

We never incited violence, we just called this guy a member of antifa who funded terrorism and told our followers to pay him a visit ha ha and then a totally unrelated group of people threatened to murder him in front of his students ha ha

"The petition to disband our Turning Point chapter is blatantly defamatory," Ava Kwan, outreach coordinator for the Turning Point USA chapter at Rutgers, told Fox News Digital in a statement.
"The accusations of 'inciting violence' and 'making threats' are complete lies," Kwan said. "The same people claiming we're suppressing their free speech are actively trying to silence us for speaking the truth. It's not just ironic, it's hypocritical and absurd."

tpusa_rutgers Do you want to become a socialist? If so, make sure to pay this professor a visit!!!! All jokes aside help us report this professor who has ties to Antifa which now is designated as a domestic terrorist organization. DO YOUR PART AND HELP MAKE RUTGERS A PLACE FOR ALL STUDENTS TO LEARN WITHOUT BECOMING A RADICAL SOCIALIST

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

We told you to pay attention to Maryland. Now up 20-0 on Washington.

Chris Vannini @chrisvannini.com · 13d

🐢 Maryland is 4-0 with no Ohio State, Penn State or Oregon on the schedule.

And they've got a DUDE at quarterback with Malik Washington 👀

I would definitely go with "This is not the time for hope" as my campaign slogan.

In his closing statement, Harrell said, "This is not the time for hope. Passion and great ideas and inexperience is just not going to get us there. Trump will walk all over a person without experience, period."

Wow, what an uninspiring message. So much so it's incredible it was even said out loud.

Anyhow, of course we should hope. No one knows what's going to happen in the future. So let's hold strong to our convictions and work towards a better world.

I cannot express how wild this quote is. This is a top tech analyst at a well-regarded firm saying that there is not enough capital to actually pay for all the stuff that NVIDIA and OpenAI has promised. It is so important that everybody realizes that *there is not enough money to do this*

Ed Zitron @edzitron.com · 19d

I spoke with analyst Gil Luria at D.A. Davidson, asking if the capital existed to build OpenAI's promised 17GW of data centers.

He said "of course there isn't enough capital for all of this," but "enough capital to do this for a at least a little while longer."
