Trump says data center opponents face ‘poverty, crime and squalor’
Presumably he’ll be leasing out part of Mar-A-Lago for a data center then.
Trump tells Fed to slash rates or he’ll end trade with countries with U.S. surpluses
What a fucking moron. The only good thing about this is that the resulting economic carnage at home will turn more of his previous dupes against the administration.
We need to elect a strong Democratic majority to Congress this year. We need to impeach & convict Trump. We need to bury Trumpism with a stake through its idiotic heart.
Another rainy morning in Oregon.

Why gasoline-powered leaf blowers are still legal in this crunchy granola town I’ll never know.
I’m basically a peaceable guy, but it’s hard to remember that when the back neighbors are using a gasoline-powered leaf blower to clear the fir needles off their deck. A broom would be just as fast, much quieter, and not put exhaust fumes in the air.
People worry about the paperclip problem - what if an AI takes an innocuous directive as an excuse to destroy humanity? Personally, I worry more about the depressed teenager problem - what if an angsty 15-year-old just straight out tells the AI to destroy humanity? (Or a megalomaniac wannabe king of the USA does the same thing out of spite).
A rose after the rain.
