Watching the end of the world, like Statler and Waldorf from the Muppets. Fomenting rebellion through memes. Still kind of a shitbird LCpl.

Blackouts incoming. Awesome. That ought to be a real shitstorm.

BREAKING 🚨 The Federal Government just declared a POWER GRID EMERGENCY across 13 states + D.C...

Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia... and Washington D.C.

The Department of Energy just issued an emergency order to PJM, the grid that powers 65 MILLION people... running Oct 13 through Oct 16.

Continued HOT temperatures are straining the grid... so power plants are now allowed to run PAST their pollution limits just to keep the lights on...

And as a LAST RESORT before rolling blackouts... PJM can force data centers and other big power users off the grid and onto their backup generators.

The grid could have as little as ~900 MW of cushion left...

This is NOT normal.

Maximum Overdrive was a 1986 movie starring Emilio Estevez and a killer soundtrack by AC/DC.

The machines go haywire- and a group of strangers is trapped in a lonely truck stop trying to survive.

The movie deserves a second look.

At the time it was released, Maximum Overdrive reflected a general unease with technology as computers became commonplace.

But the movie failed because it wasn't plausible. Trucks couldn't go haywire. They ran on diesel engines. They weren't connected to anything.

All that is very different today.

Today, every mechanical device contains a computer-and that computer is connected to the Internet.

What if every device in your house was taken over by a hostile power, and tried to kill you?

Your refrigerator. Your AC unit. Your car.

And- as in Maximum Overdrive- all the semi trucks on the road too.

Back then it was fiction. Today it could easily happen.

A hacker or terrorist could pull off a "Maximum Overdrive" scenario today very easily.

AI programs gone rogue would be child's play.

It's time for this forgotten #1980s movie to get a second look.

The 4th dimension was never hidden… it was staring right back at you from the mirror all along. 🪞✨👁️

What if the portal was never out there, but within the reflection? 👀

I was just in WalMart. Little dude was just by himself acting like a dinosaur. I started acting like a dinosaur with him. You know, the walk and the "raaaawr" noises.

His Mom came up and cursed me out. Called me an insensitive bastid.

He had cerebral palsy.

To Summarize

[Affordability Crisis @trackingcosts]

Millennials are about to get their purchasing power cut in half because boomers convinced them they needed to go to college or they would be broke for life. Guess what? They are broke for life.

MAGA lost their minds when Biden tried to wipe out student loan debt.

[Deep Throat (TOTALLY A PARODY) @DeepThroatIPO]

I don't give a shiz about anybody under 30 who bought a 6 figure college degree right when AI arrived to eliminate every job they might have been qualified for....thank God we made these loans non-dischargeable in bankruptcy....suck it up losers!

Sincerely,
The White House

[The Patriot Voice @TPV_John]

SPOT ON. 💯🎯

MAGA is only PRETENDING to be “anti-establishment” because it’s the “cool” thing right now but when SHTF in a Martial Law scenario, they will absolutely, beyond the shadow of a doubt side with the Federal Government.

[gnome chomsky @playboicatie]

Mark my words. After this student loan crackdown doesn’t go the way they want it to, the GOP are gonna make it illegal to leave the country if you have any outstanding debts with the US government whatsoever.

In order for Bibi to maintain power in Israel, it is ESSENTIAL that Israel is attacked before the elections on 10/27.

If he has to send a series of missiles from Syria to blame it on Iran, that’s exactly what he will do….

It is a matter of survival for this devilish administration in Israel.
