Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.

Your government refusing to prosecute sexual predators, but protect them instead, only makes sense when you realize your government is being run by sexual predators.
Cucumbers was one of the few vegetables I actually liked eating as a child. Sliced like this with a vinaigrette dressing or lengthwise with a little salt.
This fking asshole can take his apology & shove it. He has the balls to say even though he knew he was lying to ppl it wasn't intentional. Bullshit! He knew exactly what he was doing & he knew it was wrong but he was making so much money he didn't care. He's a douchebag of the worst kind.
He's truly a fucking imbecile. His demise will be widely celebrated along with Trump.

The Onion won the IP known as InfoWars when it was auctioned off to pay the Sandy Hook families that Alex Jones TERRORIZED after their children were massacred. Alex Jones sued to stop the Onion from taking InfoWars. He lost. 🤣 The NEW InfoWars will be a Satire Site. 😂
These things will become obsolete in less than 10 years and then be abandoned as the shell companies that own them go bankrupt, leaving their e-waste for the communities to clean up.
I didn't even consider the obsolescence issue with these data centers. 10 years and they are so out of date technologically they can't be maintained or upgraded. Another reason why we don't need these eyesore.

What a FUBAR! Trump is making excuses why the negotiations are delayed. I think the real reason is that Iran doesn't want to deal with the 3 clowns (Vance, Witkoff, Kushner) that Trump keeps sending. What is needed are experienced state department diplomats.

There really is no such thing as race. We all came from Africa. We are all of the same stardust. We are all going to live and die on the same planet, a Pale Blue Dot in the vastness of space. We have to work together.

Rob Schneider did a comedy standup at CPAC and one of his jokes was: "Somalia is not sending their best; they're not sending their doctors or engineers, if they have any... hehehe".
And he still believes Hollywood "blacklisted" him. Maybe they just don't like shitty racist jokes, Robbie.
Thank you Virginia😍! Redistricting measure approved. This would not be happening if Trump had not pushed Texas to redraw their map to give 5 more Republican House seats and pressuring other red states to redraw their maps.
