Territory vs. Democracy: How Land Area Distorts the U.S. Presidential Election Map

meta just has infinite layoffs

[Clint Russell @LibertyLockPod]

Someone pumped serious money to flip the betting markets and now they are paying to advertise the latest odds

This is a high level, heavily funded Miriam Adelson and AIPAC op.

Clear as day.

[Clint Russell @LibertyLockPod]

Last week we ran a moneybomb and raised $1.3 million for Massie from thousands of small donors

The very next day Miriam Adelson signed a check for $1.3 million to offset our efforts

One Israeli donor offset thousands of American voices because Massie forced the Epstein files release.

Yesterday they deployed a blatant hit piece against Massie from a woman who had made the exact same claims against her ex husband. The courts threw that case out. She's clearly nuts.

Did thst stop Con Inc. from running with the story as hard as possible?
Nope.

They have deployed tens of millions and smeared the best congressman in America because he doesn't kneel to Israel. Oh and he has the most conservative voting record in the GOP.

See, what makes our side different is that we defended Trump on the E. Jean Carroll and Russian Collusion ops.

But Con Inc. has no honor. None.

They don't work for America. They work for Wall Street and Tel Aviv.

The Massie primary vote starts tomorrow (early voting) and ends on Tuesday May, 19th.

It is the most important race in the country. It will decide if being honorable is a death sentence in D.C.

If you can donate, donate. If you can door knock, door knock. If you can only scream about it online, do that.

All hands on deck.

Our country hangs in the balance. Thomas Massie may be our last line of peaceful defense.

Do not let the traitors win.

[Thomas Massie for Congress @MassieforKY]

It’s sad that a week before this election people are making false and unsubstantiated allegations about me in an obvious attempt to influence the outcome of this election.

All of the claims of inappropriate conduct are false. I’ve never offered anyone money in exchange for their silence. I report all of my farm income, including cash, to the IRS.

There are no ethics claims filed against me, nor have there ever been any claims filed against me in my 14 years in office. I have consulted legal counsel and we are considering all options.

@burkov Hey @burkov just another option, I built Libx https://t.co/AlBXC9HYsB for this very reason. It's literally two button clicks to login to Spotify your entire library to a neat CSV file. I just did it!

[psyduck @PsyduckPSYOP]

@joekent16jan19 @joekent16jan19 I noticed you're always careful to never blame POTUS for this, and you always suggest "the Israelis put him up to it". Can I ask why? Your posts seem very thought out. It sounds like you're attempting to remove accountability from POTUS.

“Non-technical teams are now pushing code to production with AI”

@coinbase has a major outage on their trading engine, and even their status page doesn’t work.

BUT YEAH THE LAYOFFS WERE DEFINITELY ABOUT AI.

Our country has now become a failed experiment in democracy that somehow lasted 250 years. Some of things that doomed us were allowing unlimited dark money contributions to candidates, the electoral college and poorly educated and easily manipulated voters.

gonna play the heck out of GTA 6 simply because of its status as a cultural artefact: the final big game built before LLMs

no-one will ever invest this much in a game again, no software will ever encode this quantity of hands-on human labour again. the last of the great pyramids

Happy 26th Birthday to Chase Infiniti!

I agree with this. Owning the device turns out to be the most important aspect of pushing out ANY new software products. $META knows this and hates $APPL because of it.

The AI bubble will collapse. Here’s the cascade and what survives. (Claude wrote this for me based on my thoughts)

OpenAI burns $9B cash on $13B revenue. Their own projections show $143B in cumulative losses before profitability. They’re selling dollars for 70 cents at scale. The more they sell, the more they lose.
The collapse sequence is simple: frontier labs fail → GPU cloud middlemen (who borrowed billions at peak prices) get crushed → hyperscalers cut capex → NVIDIA cycles down. Each step accelerates the next.

The people who lived through 2001 see it. But being early is indistinguishable from being wrong — for years. The last skeptic will capitulate right before the crash. That’s how every bubble ends.

Here’s what’s different: the technology is real. Fiber was real in 2000 too. It just needed a decade of bankruptcies before the economics worked.

So what survives?

Local models. Delivered by Apple.

Their playbook never changes — let the industry burn capital on half-baked implementations, then arrive late with something so integrated it makes everything before it look like a prototype. The entire AI industry is currently doing Apple’s R&D for them. At $143B in projected losses. With no compensation.

The M5 already runs 70B parameter models locally. DeepSeek V4 dropped this week — open source, near-frontier performance, no NVIDIA hardware required. The gap between local and cloud closes from both directions simultaneously.

The killer move: your iPhone tunnels home to your Mac over an encrypted connection. Your Mac becomes your personal AI server. Your data never touches a corporate server. Ever.

Apple doesn’t compete with OpenAI. They make them irrelevant.

Jensen knows this. He just can’t say it.

The wealthiest property owners in California, including Donald Trump, have avoided paying taxes on what their properties are actually worth.

That's cost our state $243 billion since 2012.

I'm going to close that tax loophole and use the revenue to fund healthcare and schools.
