imagine a world without internet…hordes of GenZ drivers stopping at gas stations asking for directions, trying to navigate the lost art of paper maps…postcards instead of texts…general bliss of not knowing the latest Epstein atrocities…newspapers might report ‘news’ again…

_"The Government’s consistent cheerleading for data centre expansion has reached a point of reckless disconnect from the economic reality of Irish citizens... Irish families are paying nearly double the electricity rates of these industrial facilities, effectively subsidizing the massive energy consumption of global tech giants while struggling with a punishing cost-of-living crisis." https://greenparty.ie/news/uncritical-expansion-data-centres-will-fuel-social-inequality-and-energy-crisis-cllr-hazel-chu

Data centres uses 32% of Ireland's total electricity supply but pay almost less than half of the residential rate. So we're effectively subsidizing tech giants during a cost of living & energy crisis. Meanwhile this Govt continues to cheerlead their expansion & continue to fail in their obligations.

That’s because “AI” isn’t transformative; it is a specialized tool that can be useful for specific tasks in narrow use cases but isn’t useful for most things it is advertised for.

No amount of marketing and money can change this.

A Nursing Home Owner Got a Trump Pardon. The Families of His Patients Got Nothing. At least three families won multimillion-dollar wrongful death suits against former Skyline Healthcare owner Joseph Schwartz. They haven’t collected a cent.

Joseph Schwartz’s case is the latest in a string of health care fraud pardons by Trump.

The president also granted clemency to nursing home magnate Philip Esformes, convicted of a $1.3B scheme, and Judith Negron, convicted in a $200M fraud case.

Great Question, Winona.......

Massie is 💯%, Correct. Israel has cost America 100’s of Billions over the last 50 years.They have Universal Healthcare, Affordability while We Americans because of Trump and Republicans have no Affordability or Universal Healthcare. Americans common sense tells us to NEVER VOTE REPUBLICAN.👊👊👊👊👊👏👏👍🇺🇸😎

It is not nuts--it is pure partisanship.

The Roberts Kangaroo Court has consistently ruled against Biden and Obama and for Trump on the weakest of reasoning or no reasoning at all.

Total Calvinball.

i don’t think maga has the capacity to understand the magnitude of Dump’s corruption, nor would they understand his corruption harms themselves, personally, bigly.

it’s almost like the Guardian is sanewashing Dump’s mental illnesses into something more palatable.

Only the New York Times, run by a fourth-generation nepo baby for an imagined audience of other elites with Roman numerals after their names, could treat such a small-bore common-sense tax proposal as the peak sign of a class war.

If this is the peak of the "anti-rich current," they'll be lucky.

i love harry shearer.

(sigh) this sucks. I’m disgusted at President Epstein for failing so badly, that we have to take shit from Iran for the foreseeable future.

Another Trump-trolling Lego diss track out of Iran, with a lot of messages about the level of financial corruption currently taking place within Trump circles.🔥

RIGHT

Every day is Market Manipulation Day!

The Iranians are playing this brainsick dullard like a yo-yo.

You always have to pay attention to what is actually happening, not what Trump says is happening. Because Trump lies about everything. Too often media serves as Trump’s daily stenographer, passing along his propaganda verbatim.

i have full faith that by about 9:20 am monday morning a new deal will be announced, followed by reports at about 4:45 pm that the deal never existed. this is what diplomacy looks like, maybe read a book libs

The American people have power but it’s not thru our vote. The power of our vote is demolished by unlimited campaign contributions by corporations & foreign lobbies plus voter suppression via gerrymandering, a 2 party system, the electoral college & on & on & on. We have ECONOMIC power. Let’s use it

All of his businesses and property should be nationalized and dissolved and he should be stripped of literally every single asset and dollar. Put him in public housing and let him live off of whatever UBI the next Congress passes.

Shorter Donold Dump: "I ignore my mental illesses to the detriment of society."

Not many people know this, but the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is responsible for making sure the coal industry is never inconvenienced. Pretty sure it's part of the oath he swore.

Bloomberg TV: Breaking News President Epstein to hold an event!

I love how Bloomberg TV ignores Dump's profound mental illnesses, his corruption and his proclivity towards nuclear annihilation.

Liberals becoming familiar with and (finally!) embracing the Paradox Of Intolerance.
