I recently watched a video about the first electronic synthesizer. It was built in 1897, and was housed in the basement of an entire city block in NYC. Several decades later, and it would fit in a suitcase, with far more functionality. It worked, but it was huge and unwieldly, to the point of being completely impractical. It needed to wait until the technology caught up to it, and made it a truly viable instrument, and not just a concept.
Data Centers are like that 1897 synthesizer. It works, sure, but at what cost? It’s expensive in every way, from the building costs, the energy costs, the environmental costs, etc. We have a concept and a prototype, but not a truly viable product yet. Maybe in a decade or two, with a proper goal in mind, we can get there, but right now, Data Centers are just that big, dumb synthesizer that takes up a city block.


Actually exchanging currency for a product is so old school. Now they just need a stock price, make an announcement, and the price goes up, and those in the know make a fortune. Nothing was sold, nothing changed, there was just an announcement, and those who know the announcement is coming, or are actually making the announcement, get to cash in. It was worth one thing yesterday, and it’s worth more today, and that increase is very real money.
There are lots of smoke and mirrors tricks to manipulate stock prices and make money going up or down, and people thinking of new ones every day. Now they’re just creating their own money out of thin air.
And none of it requires any products to be sold.


Intelligence and the drive for ruthless power aren’t necessarily connected. For these dumb MAGA Apes, ruthless power is just a toy to play with.


Lisa Murkowski, won on a write-in campaign in 2010, when a Tea Party Republican (Proto-MAGA) won the primary. She is in the Senate to this day.
2010 was the election in which a bunch of Tea Party candidates beat Republican incumbents in the primary, and then went on to lose in the general, flipping a few seats. Murkowski was one of the few survivors because she was a rare winner of a write-in campaign. I suspect that the MAGA candidates that have won their Primaries, aren’t going to fare so well in the General. Trump may have traded a few solid Red seats for Blue seats.
These guys always have a plan, but it’s always a bad plan.


Well, yeah, because Obama was black, duh.


We are ruled by the dumbest dipshits on the planet.


Who woulda thought that the lesson they’d take away from the Holocaust would be to Pay It Forward?


And before that, they were the Nazis. The point is, every era, going back to the beginnings of civilization, has this same demographic segment of Sociopathic lunatics who want to take over the world, and force everyone else to do their bidding.
A healthy society recognizes the serious dangers that those people pose, and never allow those people to gain too much power. But now and then, a society let’s down their guard, and those people rise up and take power. They’ve had different names over the years - Confederates, Nazis, MAGA, etc., but they’re all the same people. We just made the mistake of letting them off the leash.
We’ve seen what these people have done in the past, how much blood they’re willing to shed to keep power, so we can predict what they’ll do in the future. The worst of MAGA is still ahead of us, and it is going to get much uglier before it gets better. For one thing, he has no intention of leaving after 2028.


He’s got his eye on the Gaza Riviera that he and Kushner want to build. It would be much easier if he were the Big Boss. He’s got to get rid of Netanyahu first, he can’t count on outliving him.


Well, yeah, he’s MAGA. They’re ALL pedophiles, and traitors, and corrupt, and racist…


The real treasure in the settlement is that it gives forever immunity to Trump and his family from all tax issues, and probably everything else. You know that if they try to charge him for anything, he’s going to claim this agreement covers it, even if it has nothing to do with taxes.


There are Democratic districts in those Red states, too, and a whole lot of flips that they aren’t expecting. I want those Blue seats in Red , too.


He has no intention of leaving after 2028. That’s going to take violence, and we better start preparing for it now.


That’s the trophy? Ugly as Hell.


The money is just a distraction. The real value in this “settlement” is that it gives forever immunity for Trump, his family, and their henchmen. It literally makes them fully above all laws, for the rest of their lives.


Nobody has read this “settlement” yet. The money isn’t the worst part, that’s just the distraction from the part that says it grants full forever immunity for Trump, his family, and his henchmen. This gives them full legal authority to do literally anything they want, for the rest of their lives.


I think that’s what they were trying to say, and it just got garbled.


The ocean is already warming, and these guys want to heat it up even more? Didn’t these guys watch Day After Tomorrow? Because this is how we start a new ice age.
I like that idea. He could drain off enough votes to ensure a Democrat victory.
