What has Trump done in either of his terms that isn't in line with actions carried out by another president within Trump's lifetime?

I know I keep bringing up but

No, we have a number of explicitly communist parties, but none of them have any MPs, so they're not on the diagram. Workers GB are socialist, but have a lot of reactionary positions like climate skepticism and opposition to trans rights, along with a general isolationist bent.

Nope, because it's not just their current/future earnings, it's their current/future expenses. They will not be able to hide that whatever number they claim as their annualized revenue, it costs them a multiple of that number to run the services they're being paid for.

They aren't making it across that line. Attempting to IPO will require them opening their books and showing the world their *actual* numbers, none of this leaking/hinting/projection bs that they're able to get away with currently.

Everybody, say it with me!

Published 5 HOURS AGO 137 OpenAI has put its flagship UK data centre project on hold, dealing a blow to Britain's efforts to build "sovereign" computing power for AI. The Silicon Valley-based company blamed high energy costs and regulatory uncertainty for the delay to Stargate UK, which was originally scheduled to be built in north-east England in the first quarter of 2026. The plan to deploy thousands of AI chips through data centre start-up Nscale was launched in September alongside US President Donald Trump's state visit to the UK. It was part of a touted investment package worth tens of billions of dollars led by Big Tech groups Nvidia and Microsoft. The project was expected to bring hundreds of millions of dollars of investment to one of the UK's flagship "AI growth zones". Sir Keir Starmer's government has put AI and technology at the heart of its growth agenda, heralding September's tech deal with the US as a "decisive step towards the UK becoming a world leader in AI". The decision to put Stargate UK on an indefinite hold, with no timetable to revisit the project, marks the latest shift in OpenAI's investment strategy, despite completing a record $122bn fundraising just last month.

All keir's apes, gone

Here's an archive link that bypasses the paywall. The article doesn't explicitly state it, but it seems like it's only talking about either McDonalds US, or just n California, whereas the overall earnings are for the franchise globally, hence the differences.

Chiitan loves transgender people from the bottom of my heart🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

From a fairy like Chiitan, it seems natural for everyone to live as their true selves. That’s why, until the day Chiitan disappears and is gone, I’ll keep sending gentle messages so that all transgender people can live happily.

I'll help find the KitKats when Nestlé admit, and pay reparations for, being responsible for the deaths of nearly 11 million babies

"We estimate that Nestlé’s entry into LMIC formula markets caused … approximately 10.9 million infant deaths between 1960 and 2015."

James @GoodVibePolitik X.com A friend in Cuba just notified me that every single patient in that hospital that was on ventilators died tonight. I don't have words. James @GoodVibePolitik•4h There's something supremely saddening and enraging about seeing a hospital running on bare minimum power. Thinking about dialysis patients, babies in NICU, and others tonight in Cuba. This is a blockade of death. THE THE B

What the US is purposefully doing to Cuba should be considered genocide.

This is both your faults @postoctobrist.bsky.social @josie.zone

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

one of the things I disliked most about the rebuilds is that it ignores the EoE question of "what if you had a soulmate (derogatory)?"

Oh jesus fucking Christ someone put a stake through tontys heart and put him back in the crypt.
