Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of
AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.

UPDATE: Florida killed Curtis Beasley this evening. Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty noted this is the DeSantis administration's "44th execution." Beasley is "the 13th veteran, the 14th senior citizen, and the 27th person ... to die despite a non-unanimous jury vote for death."
NEWS: SCOTUS won't stop Florida from killing Curtis Beasley today. There were no noted dissents. If Florida proceeds, it will be the state's 16th execution this year and the 29th across the nation.

there are 70 million people for whom this is the biggest song in the world. they watch comedies called like "Wives of Jim" that have run for nine seasons. they're usually pretty affable in person. in 2024 they severed the fate of humanity because of egg prices
“Choosin’ Texas” by Ella Langley officially surpasses “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey as the longest-running #1 hit in history (23 weeks).

This is particularly crazy when you see how many NFL venues are scheduled to host Kanye West, a guy who literally released a song about Hitler. Including two of the stadiums who threatened Sheeran! But he didn’t say anything good about Palestinians so it’s fine.
New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

I guess it’s important to communicate that MAHA is fundamentally an movement by individuals to capture health care dollars by lying to people about having products and services that work
When my wife’s Meta algorithms sniffed out that she’s pregnant a bunch of medical crankery started aggressively filing into her Facebook and Instagram feeds. “MAHA moms” happen because there is a lot of money being spent strategically preying on women going through a stressful experience.

boosters want us to believe opponents of data centers are a bunch of nimbys that just indiscriminately oppose development. they don’t want people to see (or hear!) what it’s actually like to live next to one of their monstrosities.
This is what living next door to a 30 megawatt data center sounds like.

Incredibly glad someone is talking about for-profit prisons. When I had a friend inside, he got too little food, forcing him to supplement from a commissary with money put into his account from folks outside. The prices were astronomical, bleeding funds from inmates' communities. It was appalling.
Florida State Rep. Angie Nixon, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, won the Senate nomination in Tuesday’s primary in a surprise victory over Lt. Col. Alex Vindman. On Morning Joe, she's asked about the DSA's agenda, including defunding police and abolishing prisons and the border.

SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:

once again this is useful for demonstrating that the media that spent 25 years using "gotta support the troops we love the troops do you support our brave troops" as a cudgel against anyone opposed to war were full of shit this entire time. they never even cared a little tiny bit about the troops

New: We pieced together dozens of violent incidents from the ICE agents seen in viral videos from Virginia this week. They've roamed across multiple states, but are most often working in Chicago. We also verified the identity of Martin Lagunas, the fed who pointed his gun at a woman on Monday:

ABOLISH ICE, PROSECUTE THE MFS
Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.
