I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.

I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

BREAKING: In a stunning display of unity, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and Freidrich Merz just met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Notably absent was Donald Trump. He’s turned America into a global pariah.

Did you know that the first women to land on the Normandy beachhead in June 1944 were nurses of Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Nursing Service?

Their task was to establish a field hospital for 600 wounded soldiers.

They succeeded.

Please remember these heroines who saved lives:

The Nashville Zoo has launched a public campaign to block construction of a proposed 69,000-square-foot AI data center that would sit directly adjacent to habitats for endangered animals, including vulnerable clouded leopards.

Zoo officials warn that the facility’s constant noise, bright artificial lighting, and electrical hum could seriously disrupt animal behavior, stress levels, and long-established breeding programs. The zoo is home to more than 3,700 animals representing over 350 species and maintains one of the most important collections of rare and endangered wildlife in the United States.

This conflict highlights a growing backlash against the rapid expansion of data centers driven by the AI boom. These facilities require massive amounts of electricity and operate 24 hours a day, prompting communities nationwide to raise concerns about energy consumption, water use, noise pollution, and environmental impacts. Wildlife conservation groups are now joining the resistance.

More than 180,000 people have already signed a petition opposing the project.

The developer behind the data center states that it will use waterless cooling systems, meet all local noise regulations, and comply with environmental standards. However, zoo leaders argue that the location itself, immediately next to sensitive animal habitats, makes the project unacceptable regardless of technical mitigations.

The dispute underscores a broader challenge of the AI era: how to build the vast digital infrastructure needed for artificial intelligence without placing undue pressure on local communities, ecosystems, and wildlife.

BREAKING: National security experts are warning that, with Jared and Ivanka having so much money tied up in their now frozen Albanian island resort, Kushner is an extreme blackmail risk because his Saudi and Emirati investors can withdraw their money and bankrupt him at any time.

“Has a nation ever been so befouled, beclowned and besmirched by someone charged with its care and leadership before? What was so broken in an obtuse third of the American personality that we allowed such an exceptionally awful man to rise to power?

It is no accident that as soon as Republicans began to mildly pushback on Trump, his first response was to immediately lash out at women. (In this week’s case it was again White House reporter and CNN anchor Kaitlin Collins). It’s a deranged form of self-soothing for the deeply flawed, misogynistic, sexual predator/president.

And once he got into office, how was it not plain for all to see that he was not merely a belligerent buffoon, but he was in fact using his power to enrich himself and his family while destroying the very fabric of our society and breaking through the moral barricades of our institutions to allow his criminal scrum of scoundrels to pillage and plunder?

To steal from the neediest among us to further line the greasy pockets of Palm Beach dilettantes and deadbeat debutantes. The sort of people a saner nation would mock mercilessly, or at the very least, invent new forms of sitcoms and comedy to satire.

Instead, these bejeweled weasels inveigle themselves further into the foundation of our society. Buying their way into our media, fashion and attention spans.

Trump himself is like a rabid muskrat chewing on the dining room table’s legs while a dysfunctional family sits down to a Thanksgiving dinner of cold duck and crow.”https://t.co/SfZgeT6SzH

I don't know if y'all noticed, but Hunter Biden is back on X and he's not fucking around — he's kicking MAGA's ass, taking names, and turning their entire pro-pedophile movement into ash and rubble.

FYI: Social Security has been funded by American workers for 90 years.
Every paycheck.
Every job.
Every decade.
Congress has borrowed $2.9 trillion from the Trust Fund.
None of them asked permission.
You saved it.
They spent it.
Now they’re asking you to accept less.
