I saw a conspiracy theory yesterday that the goal is to eliminate all local data storage and push everything into the corporate cloud where it will be scraped to train A.I. (and exploit us)
And I'm having a difficult time dismissing it

Crazy how much Tyra Banks & her former crew are dismissing all the complaints & concerns from the former models on ANTM because “it was a different time”. No, Tyra, even back then there were many of us who saw what you were doing was wrong. Stop it with the excuses. The whole premise was bad from go

Anderson Cooper is leaving his role as a correspondent on CBS News’s 60 Minutes after nearly 20 years with the program. He will not renew his CBS contract and is stepping away from that role. We hope more continue this trend it’s hard not to see CBS as state-run media.

He destroyed our economy and everyone knows it.
Whatever he or his voters would like to believe about what he did, the numbers do not lie.
We are seeing the worst job growth in over two decades and it is explicitly tied to bad decisions he made and then lied about.
He's pathetic.
