Trump is a failing authoritarian whose approval ratings are tanking.
Like any bully, when he feels humiliated, he lashes out.
But what he doesn’t realize is that his authoritarianism and his bullying are waking up America’s great sleeping giant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXHPCL12QIg

There should be new Tales from the Crypt.
And the original series should be streamable somewhere.

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.
And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.
When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

I can't believe I need to have an AI policy! I made it pretty short though: Using AI is cheating, yourself mostly. In addition to the environmental blight created by AI, it makes no sense to use it in your intellectual and creative work. Why would you outsource your innate intelligence?

What do these scenes have in common? You own this land, every tree, rock, ridge and stream. These are lands managed by the Federal Government for our benefit. The insidious, corrupt Republicans want to steal our land and give it to oil, gas, mining and real estate interests. We cannot allow this.

They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

Proud to be a Wisconsinite. We the People hold the power—when we use it. WI voted against hate, electing Shaundel Washington-Spivey as La Crosse’s 1st Black & openly LGBTQ+ Mayor. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion makes us great—not hate. Local elections = real results. 🗳️
