Imagine turning on SNL and seeing this in 1980 without knowing the B-52s:

CBS News is no longer a trusted news source.

Now it makes sense why they’ve never dived into investigating Trump in any way.

Not the assassination attempts, not the corruption. Nothing.

Antigravity researcher Amy Eskridge did not die in 2022. Next week, I will publicly release details that Amy faked her death and is now in contact with a reliable source I have known for several years who has shared stunning info about her current antigravity research at a secret research facility. I will share more details in my webinar today. https://t.co/v7VPNp01OY

@Rainmaker1973 This story is not true. Its slop. The reported incident involved a white Wuling cargo truck with plate 桂K·88888, not a black luxury Mercedes. Published photos from the ‘16 incident show the truck and plate. And, the image has been altered twice before.

@SkyNews Donald Trump comes up with the most outlandish and outrageously stupid ideas and its baffling that people don’t push back, but instead cower and go along with his self‑aggrandizing antics. We’ve never seen one person corrupt and weaken the minds of Americans like Trump.

@Gladwell A moral backlash requires a moral gag reflex. Trump’s voters have seen the whole spectacle and yet he still won with 312 electoral votes and 49.81% of the popular vote. The warts were never hidden. For many, they were the selling point.

When the illusion finally shatters, what’s left isn’t just disappointment,it’s total embarrassment.
The man you invested your faith in wasn’t a savior at all, just an empty act stitched together with arrogance, noise, and relentless self-promotion.
All that confidence, all those grand promises, all the swagger,it collapses into something painfully small the moment it’s tested against reality.

There’s no hidden genius, no bold disruptor underneath it all.
Just a loud, impulsive figure flailing through responsibilities he clearly wasn’t equipped to handle, drowning incompetence in a flood of bluster.

In the end, what once looked like strength turns out to be nothing more than cheap theatrics.
Not leadership,just a gaudy performance.
A caricature.
A spectacle.
And the real sting isn’t that it was absurd,it’s realizing how long it took to admit you were taken in by his bullshit...

@TheEXECUTlONER_ Not every flight, but nearly every flight you are on, you’ll see Millennials and GenZ’ers thinking they are entitled to offboard first, before others. Who raised these people?

@TraceyLee_07 If you think Netflix is repetitive, skip Hulu and Peacock, which could reduce six series of content down to one or two shows if they did not repeat the same content in documentaries. But its the paid advertising on those networks, and HBO, that make them unwatchable.

@RepShontelBrown C'mon Americans. Wake up. We are being fleeced and having the marrow sucked from our Democracy by the rich who are exploiting us.

@IanCarrollShow “Realest” is hard to square w/InfoWars’ record, particularly Sandy Hook, when most media-bias and fact-check organizations rate them as extremely partisan and very low reliability. I suppose if you like entertainment, but that isn’t the same thing as being factual or impartial.

Incredible to watch how fast Paul McCartney can craft up a melody that then quickly changes into lyrics and a song under three minutes. Only something geniuses are capable of:

'Get Back' by the Beatles

Erin Brockovich is back, and this time she's coming for the AI industry, calling out Big Tech's data center boom as the next great environmental shakedown of American communities. She launched a self-reporting map at https://t.co/ODEJlqLss3, and within a week over 1,600 residents had filed complaints spanning noise pollution, skyrocketing utility bills, and serious water depletion concerns. The pattern she's seeing looks awfully familiar: corporations dangle promises of jobs and tax revenue, municipalities wave projects through with minimal environmental review, and the people who actually live there get left holding the bag.

The water issue alone should be setting off alarm bells. Data centers gulp enormous amounts of water to keep their cooling systems running, and some are being planted directly above critical aquifers. As Brockovich put it plainly, "Wasting heat is wasting water. We can't afford either." The technology to capture and reuse that waste heat already exists, it's just not being required. That's a policy failure, not a tech failure.

A recent Gallup poll found that 7 in 10 Americans oppose data centers being built in their communities, with many saying they'd rather live near a nuclear plant. Brockovich's demand is straightforward: if Big Tech is going to drain public water supplies and jack up utility bills, the public deserves full transparency. "If you're using public resources, the public has a right to know how much. Sunlight is the best disinfectant."
