Just a human contemplating existence on planet Earth and witness to history.
Verily, Election Day was good for progressives on a whole.

Kyrsten Sinema's brief post-Senate career highlights: launching a business lobbying group, forming an advocacy org for AI firms, and bullying an Arizona city to approve her client's AI data center.

The story I was born to write is now up at @zeteo.com zeteo.com/p/kyrsten-si...
How Kyrsten Sinema Bullied an Arizona City to Approve Her Client’s AI Data Center
Just months after leaving the Senate, Democrats’ former corporate villain is raking in money while lobbying for the AI industry and proudly working "hand in glove with the Trump administration."

Also known as "the lion rock", this was the impenetrable fortress of C5th King Kasyapa, a cruel and paranoid ruler.
