Would anyone care to guess the racial demographics of South Memphis, Tennessee
Grok is actually powered by up to 35 portable gas turbines in South Memphis, which is 25 more than the permit they just received. The air quality is so horrible that people don’t go outside. It violates EPA regulations, but it doesn’t matter since Musk gutted the EPA. www.cnbc.com/2025/07/03/m...

i know some cis folks on here are at least kinda aware it’s bad right now for trans people in america, but sometimes it’s worth calling y’all back to 2016 when a single “transsexuals have to use the wrong bathrooms” bill cost north carolina the nba all-star game & $400 million.

this is normal now.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.
