NVIDIA's story is insane. Data centers take years to build, cost hundreds of millions of dollars in construction, labor and permitting, and require massive amounts of power, and *to this day* we still lack a complete understanding of what they cost to run.

Much needed urgency from @thefarce.org: "We must demand that the Republicans in Congress do what they don’t want to do most: their job. We must demand that the president’s war of choice in Venezuela be fully debated in both houses of Congress before it’s too late."

Trump's illegal war on Venezuela is a sneak attack on our freedom
We must force to Congress debate and vote on it.

Dem group House Majority PAC is dropping *$1M* into flipping #TN07 in the Special Election.
That’s a solid amount for a supposedly-safe red district.
Makes you wonder what their internal polling might show 🤔 🤔

It also helped to see how annoyed the agent was in the video since for a lot of them the draw is harassing vulnerable people and other people yelling at them wasn’t part of the fantasy. obviously other community help is happening too. My city is showing up and it’s great to see.

I can't speak to this more practically, but you should not use TurboTax for a myriad of reasons (including they lobby to make it so you can't do taxes easily without them). Not everyone can afford to use an accountant (or needs one) but TaxSlayer is fine.
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

Dear Megyn Kelly & fellow travelers:
I went to college for criminology and I remember a professor shutting this shit down so fast when someone tried it by saying "Nope, there are only two types of people who ever need to care about this distinction: the people committing the crimes and the lawyers involved in those cases, THAT'S IT"
I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.
The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.
