Semi-retired softwear guy, recently working on algorithmic trading engines visualization and analytics.
Currently in Mexico cause, and so sick of TedCoup.
I give up, another external hard drive is dead. That would be 3 now and a power supply.
I'm gonna put everything on Google drive.
On a brighter note, I do have a 10 year old resume, sigh.
In my head i like imagining that NATO leaders have another separate, super top-secret summit after Trump goes home where they all hang out, compare notes, shoot tequila, & talk shit about him & all his various personality disorders.
Sorry.
The correct number is 100%.
Talarico is genuinely one of the best human beings to enter the fray of modern politics.
He cannot lose to a hateful, corrupt man who gave clemency to a child sex offender.
Texas is going blue.
WNV: Remember with this summer heat/humidity in Texas our state bird the Culex quinquefasciatus mosquito ๐ฆ is here in abundance and that means West Nile Virus. Those >65 have a 6x higher risk of encephalitis from WNV and why on my AM walks Iโm fully covered and use insect repellent
@NicsJourney There are times in life when jealousy overwhelms me to the point when I become that bitter & twisted with envy that I have nothing nice to say ๐ฏ๐ฌ

Dear Fuckface,
Canada doesnโt need a lecture from a guy who bankrupted 5 casinos and whose entire economic strategy is screaming โWE DONโT NEED YOU.โ
So in closing, shut the fuck up you colossal sack of shit.
Hatefully Yours,
40 million Canadians ๐จ๐ฆ
@scarylawyerguy He is lying and he is stupid. So very stupid. โIโm not worried about inflation because Iโve been stealing oil from Iran all alongโ. Moron - this is not the flex he thinks it is. Now MAGA will be saying, โYay! Inflation is so good! America is great again! Keep inflation up!โ.
1000 LIKES on this post and Iโll DO IT!!
Maybe I should do a life-size painting of Hunter Biden in the dark Brandon *style*??? Thoughts?
I could time lapse the process (so you can see me paint it) and give it away on my page?
@HunterBiden letโs do this!!!!
RETWEET LIKE CRAZY!
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
Generation after generation, men and women put on the uniform knowing the risk โ and went anyway knowing they might not come home. Knowing their families would carry that for the rest of their lives.
To the families still carrying that weight โ I see you. The pain doesnโt go away, but neither does the pride.
Freedom has never been guaranteed. It has to be earned, defended, and sometimes paid for in the hardest way imaginable. Today on Memorial Day, we stop, we slow down, and we remember those who did.
We honor them.
We thank them.
And we work hard to live up to what they died for. Keep the democracy they believed in worth believing in. That is the ultimate tribute for their sacrifice.
How did we get here?
It started with trickle down economics that never trickled.
Then stock buybacks were legalized so executives got bonuses instead of workers getting raises.
Then pensions were replaced with 401ks nobody knew how to use.
Then jobs were shipped overseas.
Then predatory lending crashed the housing market in 2008.
Then taxpayers bailed out the banks.
Then the banks and wealthy bought all the foreclosed homes at the bottom.
That is when rent started climbing.
Then we had the big print during Covid...which continues.
Every single step was a policy decision.
The middle class did not die of natural causes.
It was dismantled piece by piece over 45 years.
Totally agree, I've watched documentaries too and read.
I'm 64 and my whole life I've seen this pattern.
I'm an expat living in Mexico, here I can afford healthcare. I'd be bankrupt in America by now if I hadn't moved here.
My life has been gop in power means my $ gone.
@RichRHogan I agree.I think we use the 45 year thing to blackout how we killed their Democracy for OIL! Or course. I've watched countless Documetaries on this. We destabilize so many Countries for Corporate Interests always hurting our and other Democracies for Corporate interests.
I've read all about it. We're so crazy, they would have been friends if we hadn't started it.
All my life it seems american mistakes abroad and at home are for oil/money.
Tax / eat the morbidly obscene oligarchy.
Iranians have been pissed as much longer than 45 years. We did topple their Democraric leader because....they wanted to nationalize their oil. We helped turn them into this later on cause of course we did.
Seriously, has there even been a politician of color that Trump hasnโt attacked as โa low IQ person?โ
Similarly, has there ever been a white politician that he has attacked that way?
Funny how that works... So the oligarchs control the media, and never seem to report GOP corruption and crazy.
America seems fairly broken. They are messing with the midterms and plan on obscene gerrymandering and voter roll purges.
Kinda (totally) un-American.
Sigh.
There are so many awful statistics like this one and they are not getting enough coverage.
If it was Joe Biden delivering this darkness, it would be front page every day.
