This is news? The US has been saber rattling with them for decades, I'd be shocked if they didn't have something ready

One of the more underreported topics regarding 'AI' is the massive amount of power they consume.

I work for an electric utility that a few years ago was in talks of having another merger, just a couple years after the last, to give an idea of how thin things were.

Now? Said company will be adding gigawatts of additional generation over the next 5-10 years, multiple new large plants, almost solely because of this phenomena. Population growth has been static in this region, and no major plants have been shuttered, the growth is almost solely due to this crap.

So basically don't fix the problem via the method that Republicans would absolutely fix theirs

That's literally liberals' MO

"We can't do good thing because it would set a terrible new precedent!"

Conservatives immediately set new precedent by doing something atrocious that liberals could have slowed, averted entirely, or at least taken advantage of if they did the good thing

Liberals: We must defeat conservatives at all costs!

politician that is nominally left of center is winning

Liberals: frothingfash WE DON'T ENDORSE COMMIES DRAG THEM DOWN

"We need to save money, cut a few billion from science"

gives military 1 trillion dollars with no declared war occurring

Fittingly for the burgerland president, he looks like he got scooped out of a deep fryer

By 1996, Yakov [her husband] was an accomplished cancer researcher and co-owned a computer company, ECI Technologies, with Rita. However, that year, Yakov filed for divorce; he claimed that Rita was abusive and spent too much money, while Rita asserted that Yakov was having an extramarital affair with a woman in Israel. Federal agents later asserted that Rita went to Israel to collect photos of Yakov with another woman, then used the photos and illegal phone taps to blackmail him. Police asserted that Rita feared a costly divorce and giving up control of ECI.

Would've been easy

But everyone being friends doesn't benefit the MIC, or the surveillance state, or fascism in general really, so

A somewhat surprising amount of it is also Lenin being very catty about political figures in his time lol

I would simply not serve a rabid white supremacist

Seems pretty easy tbh

Literally

All of them

 

Joe Biden threw down the gauntlet on Wednesday, directly challenging former President Donald Trump – his expected 2024 rival — to not one, but two debates. Within hours, CNN announced via press release that it would be hosting the first debate in the presidential rematch on June 27 in the key battleground state of Georgia — where Trump remains under criminal indictment for attempting to interfere with the results of the 2020 election.

lmao

Participating candidates will be required to “appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency prior to the eligibility deadline” — meaning that potential third-party candidate RFK Jr. will likely be unable to take the stage.

Gonna be interesting to see whose amphetamines wear off first

 

“Something interesting that comes from Israel, 40 percent” of the drones “knocked out” by the Israeli army are shot down in cases of “friendly fire,” Marine Lt Col Michael Pruden told The War Zone and other attendees of the yearly Modern Day Marine exposition in Washington DC.

 

This is such a trainwreck lmao; I was trying to follow one of my old links to Joe's COVID strategy, don't know what I was expecting. I'm trying to find the most hilariously pathetic part of this page

Maybe it's the obvious (to us) reasons it is completely empty now, stripped because of complete, abject failure, and the refusal to even address it any longer

Maybe it's the 5 different 'Donate' links

Maybe it's the flagrant "buy my slop, peon" tone

Maybe it's the overarching attempt to be like the kids (they still like "Dark Brandon", right?)

 

I can't stop laughing

Someone please burn this shithole down already

 

You can't make this up lmao

The Taiwanese reports also noted some of the balloons’ proximity to the island’s military bases. Of the four reported on Tuesday, three were first detected 120 to 184 miles from the Ching Chuan Kang Air Base in the city of Taichung. Taiwan’s defense ministry declined to specify how close to the base they may have flown.

"Yeah it totally came near our airbase. How close? We won't say"

Taiwan has, so far at least, experienced none of the alarm that gripped many Americans last year when a hulking Chinese high-altitude surveillance balloon floated across the United States.

This whole thing is a comedic goldmine, to say nothing of the headline
