This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.
Billions of dollars in clean energy projects have been canceled since Donald Trump took office again — leaving thousands of jobs and the shift to clean energy in doubt.
A stunning number of electric vehicle, battery factories are being canceled

If you had said in October that if Trump were elected hed end up purging the NSC at the behest of Laura Loomer and ordering Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to fire the director of the NSA, you’d have been accused of having a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

We live in one of the most dipshitical timelines.
I don’t know enough about AI to have an informed opinion on whether it could kill us all some day, but putting the data centers that run a possible existential threat in the desert and paying to cool them while climate change rages feels like “owning the libs”-ing our way to our own demise.
AI Is Taking Water From the Desert
New data centers are springing up every week. Can the Earth sustain them?

If I were to be visited by 3 ghosts on Christmas Eve, it's not really a contest regarding WHO they'd be. Now, if they are going to do the whole Past, Present, Future thing... now, that I could envision going any which way.

I think I've seen this movie before--Yeah, yeah! 3 creepy hairless folks in a shallow pool thought about Tom Cruise was murdering someone. Yeah! Then, a lady in a greenhouse told him the precogs make mistakes, revealing a massive false imprisonment scandal in time for him to stop his own... 1/2

If you were an alien visiting Earth for the first time, only, your spaceship crashed into a Hallmark card store, and this is your very first impression of the human race. What are you thinking you've learned about humans in this first encounter with their economy and culture?

There are a lot of allegedly strict literal Bible believing men out there who somehow choose not to follow the part about plucking out your own eye to avoid temptation.
Evangelical Christian men acting like women are just walking strongly magnetic vaginas tempting helpless men with metal penises is just peak weak masculinity.

Please don't get complacent because it's inconvenient. Anyone can develop a severe case even if they didn't before; different strains could cause another response. If you're not insured, go to vaccines.gov & search providers participating in the Bridge Access Program to get a booster without charge.
I got the new booster, caught COVID 3 weeks later, and the result was zero symptoms outside of positive tests. I cannot stress enough how much I want the rest of you to have the potential for the experience I had. Please get boosted.
Reminder that the new COVID shot isn’t just a booster, it’s a new vaccine more effective against more variants. Important to get it and remind friends & family.
