There is more airpower in Washington, D.C. today for the 4th of July air show than any other country on the planet has in their entire military.
Only two people ever get to witness something like this:
Americans and the people we are dropping bombs on.
BREAKING: Trump administration tells the International Criminal Court it has “no jurisdiction” over Americans & will not cooperate with any investigations.
PJM Interconnection, the largest U.S. power grid, has announced it is no longer able to provide expected energy requirements amid a record-breaking heat wave. Serving 67 million people across the Mid-Atlantic, South, and Washington, D.C. regions, the grid operator is now implementing emergency plans for utilities to reduce demand as it struggles to stabilize the system and avoid potential power outages - Reuters
We are now in a position where a tiny proportion of the population uses Fable or soon GPT-5.6, while everyone else's experience of AI is 8-30b-model level - Google's AI Overviews, Meta AI, ChatGPT free tier, maybe MS Copilot at best. People outside of tech must be completely baffled how this is supposed to take their job, and annoyed that hundreds of billions are being poured into it.
Actually, live your life normally, use your AC in whatever manner keeps you comfortable, and if the grid collapses make them explain why we don’t have power generation capacity sufficient to our needs as a city, and make them fix it by building more capacity.
Do not acquiesce or normalize any of this. Nothing socialists say can be taken in good faith.
They want to take away AC permanently (as they have in Europe) and they will do it first by getting you used to the idea that your AC must be turned down for ‘the greater good’, then by making it more expensive to purchase and operate through higher energy costs (also already happening), and finally by regulating it out of existence.
Just say no.
