"Last year, xAI was operating 35 gas-burning turbines without a permit to power its Colossus 1 site, which is located in Boxtown, a historic Black neighborhood in Memphis that already faces extremely high rates of cancer and respiratory illness from decades of industrial pollution."
one of the ways the mid to late 20th century political world has distorted the historical memories of even sophisticated observers is in the idea that you can achieve major transformations of american political life through something like bipartisan consensus
I don't believe a thing Tucker Carlson says.
He's an evil, manipulative MFer.
But if he wants to help break up MAGA, I say, "Yes, please."

Aren’t politicians always looking for good excuses to do / not do something? This was the height of Musk as tech messiah as I recall. Those were the years in which, He came up from Silicon Valley with two tablets of useful political ammo.
He never meant to build it.
I go back and forth on whether it is better than his crime films.
Looks like my long gone uncle with all those hairs inside the ears.
‘Memorandum’ gives it away.
You’ll start a tiktok channel with short monologues the way Andy Rooney used to on 60 ⏰

Watching Palantir do Sephiroth posting about multiculturalism and I would like to remind everyone that they were doing corporate fake woke shit just like every other company.
The Jetsons with super duper extra racism basically.
Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.
The leaked TPUSA audio made it pretty clear she’s a sociopath. With Kirk a spent force she looked to JD as the next career move, but Usha cockblocked her with yet another baby. Truly a ‘love’ triangle that deserve one another.
Someone likes Amanita muscaria!
No bird song while you flush your innards? Truly discount Toto.
Which one is Mr. Hyde?
To have a nordic nuke means having a Swedish nuclear industry.
The Director of National Intelligence has been compartmented from the war Trump is running and instead spends her time inventing conspiracy theories about what happened years ago.
A lot of people need a head transplant. Doctor Bot is not wrong per se.

This is worse than those final meals they give on death row after they remove all the banned unhealthy stuff.
The sheer WASTE of US carceral culture will never stop boggling my mind.
This is one of the sharpest students I have taught in years. They also happen to be incarcerated. As someone whose experience in US higher ed has been in private elite universities as both student and teacher, my prison classroom is the most critical educational space I have encountered in the US.
This is why I love teaching. We were discussing the game of scales and why the distance between colonial exploitation and imperial benevolence has to be carefully managed to maintain empire. A veteran who served in the Gulf goes, “huh! So that’s why they made us “volunteer” at animal shelters.”
🚨YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP: IRS data show 164 taxpayers with an average unreported foreign account balance of $1.3 billion were identified for examination - but only 12 were audited.
The agency didn't do more audits even after they discovered $39 million of taxes owed among the 12.
It has told me I am a genius and I deserve praise from other meat bags.
A great moment to remember why Scruton's FT column came to an abrupt end.
Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.
