I’m still having problems understanding Zohran Mamdani’s endorsement of Hakeem Jeffries which doesn’t make sense who’s celebrating Trump’s pardon of a convicted corrupt politician.

What does Zohran Mamdani get in return by endorsing Hakeem Jeffries?

Note, that's NASA robotic missions COMBINED cost less than one of Zuckerberg's pointless vanity wrecks.

He's a menace. We can have billionaires, or a civil society with hope for better. Not both.
For comparison, every robotic mission NASA has ever sent in its history, from the dawn of the Space Age 65 years ago to today, from Mercury to Pluto and beyond, has cost less than $40B.

I know which one has done more for humankind and which one should be dismantled.
Mark Zuckerberg’s gamble on the ‘Metaverse’ has cost Meta more than $77B

The company now plans to cut spending on it and shift focus to AI wearables instead

After 99 years, Michigan clockmaker Howard Miller is shutting down. The culprit: Trump's tariffs.

The White House’s insistence on using Sabrina Carpenter’s work and image to promote their crimes against humanity is also them appealing to their base, which already uses technology to try and humiliate and puppeteer the likenesses of women who have autonomy, success, and visibility in public

Feds gassed and tackled people in Elgin today, the same day Kristi Noem was in Chicago for a Christmas photo op, after a few weeks of relative quiet.

I'm remembering that old story about groundskeepers at Versailles who would only turn the palace fountains on when the king came by.
