@elonmusk Or, hear me out, we can leverage Open Source software to replace global exploitative services with locally run alternatives. The massive empire building at the top of the tech industry is a bug, not a feature. Imagine the fat we can trim, while we take control of our data.

@elonmusk @cb_doge Wow. That was an amazing outpouring of psychopathy.

@elonmusk @cb_doge No one died. You just wouldn't accept her the way she sees herself. And being trans is not the "woke mind virus". The whole framing is dehumanizing.

@stan4osu @gracieback2 @BlondeOfWar AI drives up energy costs in an area, and consume a lot of water. Not only that, the AI they're being built for are losing money at an amazing rate, *while* removing jobs. And that's just the tip of the ice berg in terms of risk. x.com/techstoa/statu…

🚨🚨FARMER HANDCUFFED AT OKLAHOMA DATA CENTER TOWN HALL FOR SPEAKING TOO LONG! 😡👇 🚨Watch Darren Blanchard get dragged out by police in Claremore, OK (2/17/26). His "crime"? Going seconds over his 3-minute limit to protest "Project Mustang"—a massive AI data center threatening local water and power. When Darren tried handing public docs to city officials, the City Manager cut his mic and had him arrested for "trespassing." Pure corporate-backed government overreach silencing local taxpayers. Retweet to expose this absolute assault on Americans

Today, Ukraine launched the largest attack on Moscow since the Second World War. Several targets were hit in the capital city

@GamewithDave @mfiteibyiza At the same time it's possible to use physical media to stand up your own personal streaming service for music and movies. We still have the option to make different choices. I'm hoping it becomes normalized.

They removed CD/DVD drives from devices. They made physical media harder to buy and use. They removed expandable storage from phones. They pushed us into streaming subscriptions. They made always-online normal. They made unlimited internet necessary. Then slowly raised the price of everything. Ownership quietly became renting.

@FreeTalkLive @Nikkittanikki There's a difference in philosophy between public servants and time limited elected rulers, and it's clear which one is currently winning.

You have every right to know what your government is doing, and they have no right to know what you are doing. That is why they are called public servants and we are called private citizens. Instead, the relationship has been inverted. The state hides behind secrecy, classified files, and redactions while demanding total visibility into your finances, communications, movement, and behavior. A society where the rulers live in privacy while the population lives under surveillance is the very definition of tyranny.

Seriously guys, whatever happened to: • the DOGE checks • tariff checks • the Greenland hospital boat • 10% APR on credit cards • my meds being 1500% cheaper • $2 gas • the Epstein files • reopening the Strait of Hormuz that was already open • cheaper groceries • ending wars in 24 hours • the “privately funded” ballroom Any updates?

@Srsf89836580 Ok. I agree with some of these points. Others are more nuanced. It seems unrelated to the point I was raising though. I'd argue that Bitcoin's long term destination is a $0 value. Even if crypto remains, this specific implementation will eventually have no value.

@techstoa Crypto miners are the same hardware that can run AI. Hence the overwhelming similarity and cross fucking of the crypto bros and the AI bros. The VAST % of money being reported by AI companies is actual due to Crypto mining NOT AI based revenues. They switch back and forth

There's something I don't understand about #Bitcoin. It feels like there's an implicit commitment for continuing to provide resources for mining into the future. If people running the miners felt as though there was no future, couldn't they switch to something else?

@SenFettermanPA @Kasparov63 The actions of Hamas don't justify the genocide of the Palestinian people. Much like the actions of the Iranian government would not justify Trump's threats of genocide against the Iranian people.

@SenFettermanPA @Kasparov63 Why do you lie about people defending Hamas, when there usually condemning the government of Israel? I find that the leadership of many countries, including our own, are psychopathic. It's possible to condemn all of the power involved, while supporting the people.

Confirmed: rapists, cowards and vile deviants. Volumes of incontrovertible evidence of the depravity of Hamas. NYT preemptively dropped a grotesque op-ed with sources linked to Hamas for a beachhead of “bothsiderism” Hamas defenders.

@charliebilello Hassett thinks it’s wonderful that 55% of Americans need to use a credit card to help cover basic necessities. Kevin really should wipe that silly grin off his face!

@KingOffX_ @cenkuygur So your argument is that $10B for exposing his tax fraud is reasonable, and that the president pressuring the government to settle in his favor isn't a conflict of interest? I'm going to have to disagree there.

Wrong. You are as usual spreading misinformation. IRS employee pled guilty to felony illegal leak of Trump's taxes. Federal law (26 USC §7431) mandates damages, every citizen gets this protection. Trump suing the corrupt agency isn't robbery, it's accountability. He'd donate the winnings anyway. Your 'worst corruption' hysteria is the actual scam.

This is just a robbery. The president sues his own government and then pressures them to settle. He wants them to give him billions… of our money. This might be the worst case of corruption ever. A president directly robbing the citizens he’s supposed to serve and protect.

@Vincent05254221 @ScienceDJX Kakistocracy is government by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous people.

@techstoa @ScienceDJX What do you Call IDIOCY in Control of. Both.

@MquickCreeSpong @theactualrob @greendragonhq How does the mayor of NYC print money? Counterfeiting?

@theactualrob @greendragonhq budget was balanced with printed money

You may not like it, but this is the best politician in the world right now. Within 6 months of being sworn in he has: • Balanced a massive budget deficit. • Produced the lowest murder rate in NYC history. • Introduced a pilot program for free childcare. • Has collected $100 million in fines from landlords for abhorrent living conditions. - Lost ZERO billionaires!
