Just one more thing the miserable idiot took over, slapped his name on, and drove out of business in record time.
Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

Okay troublemakers, punks, antifa supervillains, and anyone who just enjoys being a petty little shitbird while they fuck up the algorithm of a massive media corp. Here's your assignment for the weekend. Get on it and spread the word.

Updates on 'The World' from both sides exhaust me. From the MAGA/right? The usual criminal insanity. From the Left? There seem to be only two modes: 1) GIVE US MONEY BECAUSE ONLY WE CAN SAVE YOU and 2) YOU MUST BE OUTRAGED WITH US. Nothing actually constructive like 'here's how to help others.'

“One notable MIT study found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”
AI Completely Failing to Boost Productivity, Says Top Analyst
AI may or may not excel at a lot of things, but from an economic standpoint, it's definitely not making us more productive.

ICE has apparently killed a 37 year old American citizen who was in her car with her wife.

Think about that for a second.

Think about what this group of people are really out there doing. It's not law enforcement. It's hate enforcement.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

The reason I am so furious with EVERY Democrat that spams me is...the party isn't reaching out to tell us ANYTHING we can do OTHER THAN 'give us money.' There is no leadership around how to push back on the fascist bullshit other than 'give us money.' That's the message. It's infuriating.

When the United States was young, it was powerful because it had natural extractable resources. When it was adolescent, it was powerful because it had industry. When it was middle-aged, it was powerful because it had tech. BZZZZZT. The United States was powerful because it was a GOAL. ->

We don’t need to reform ICE.
We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.

ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

The fact that the White House is whipping so hard to stop the Epstein files should be scandal enough to bring a president down.

Should being the operative word there because its effectively an admission of guilt.
Rep. Lauren Boebert says that there is “NO WAY” she will take her name off the Epstein files discharge petition.

President Trump and his administration are pressuring her to remove her name.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi

My biggest question re: Steam Frame: how do I get XPlane running on it (even using a companion machine)? And can it do AR mode with masking so I can use a physical sim rig? I want to IFR train on it!

So when do we get an official Xbox(™) release for the #Steam2 #SteamMachine that is akin to (better than) the 'Xbox edition ROG Ally?' I predict we will.
