  • OK. So some asshole shoots up a local politician’s house, while he and his eight year old son are inside. Something that:

    • Has only increased support for said politician
    • Has strengthened his resolve to support said data center
    • Will inevitably be used as evidence that anti-AI people are nuts
    • Could easily have ended in the murder of a child, because, again, he was in the house this person indiscriminately fired into

    And the reaction here is ‘good?’

    If you honestly believe this way, you have been dangerously radicalized. Get help before you hurt someone.













  • The post title is misleading, and I think looking at the article makes it a lot clearer what is happening and why:

    Federal authorities told demonstrators Friday that there would be “no more prayer” in front of or inside the Broadview ICE facility, in a move that mystified local leaders and raised legal questions.

    A federal representative delivered the news to a huddle of faith leaders and activists standing outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility Friday, speaking after faith leaders were denied entry to the building for the third time Friday.

    In other words, prayer is being used as a form of protest outside the Broadview ICE facility. The solution, if you’re the US government, apparently, is to ban prayer!





  • “The Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace,” White House communications director Steven Cheung said after the announcement on Friday morning.

    “President Trump will continue making peace deals, ending wars, and saving lives,” Cheung wrote on X. “He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will.”

    I’m glad we’ve arrived at the ‘indistinguishable from North Korean propaganda’ stage of the second Trump presidency. Really classic stuff.

    I fundamentally disagree with this kind of take. If someone is having their ‘oh shit’ moment because a mainstream media figure is being targeted by the regime, that’s good. Don’t dunk on them for not reacting sooner just to make yourself feel cooler than ‘the libs.’
