    "We're actually using less water with AI data centers than in the past."  

    What does that mean?  Didn't data centers rise with the advent of deep learning about 10 years ago, and hasn't generative AI only been around since about 2023?  So what is she talking about?

    That means the locals know they use a lot of water and power, something that people in Arizona may kind of want to have in the future.

    I think he's had some serious adverse health news.  He's never posted anything like this.  

    I think all this stupid decorating, the ballroom thing, and now the golf courses (and of course the fifa noble prize) is him beoming obsessed with his legacy.

    That doesn’t have his voice. I assume it’s parody.

    Yeah, I didn't see that posted on his account just now, but he did post this.

    That is not a Gary Petersen thing either.

    Apparently, the third attempt to indict James has failed. So Trump is not doing selective enforcement on James, they are just repeatedly trying to indict her even though that’s not how DOJ has ever worked.

    He can't let a Black woman defeat him.

    Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi reported fighting intensity reached 300 daily clashes, the highest since the war began. Russian forces remain at 710,000 troops, unable to grow despite recruitment as Ukraine inflicts 1,000 daily casualties. Ukrainian forces regained 16 square kilometers in northern Pokrovsk.

    Yes comrade, normal routine production startup

    If they are indeed staffing and arming what is essentially internal security forces, that means less resources going to the Ukraine front.  And I’m fine with that.

    Okay, interesting timing.  There is a group trying to build a united opposition to Putin from outside of Russia, trying to act as the alternative to Putin in terms of PACE (Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe) - basically putting themselves out there as representatives of Russia instead of Putin and his cronies.

    DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Two U.S. service members and one American civilian have been killed and three other people wounded in an ambush on Saturday by the Islamic State group in central Syria, the U.S. Central Command said.

    The attack on U.S. troops in Iraq is the first to inflict casualties since the fall of Syrian President Bashar Assad a year ago.

     

    https://apnews.com/article/syria-us-military-attack-palmyra-is-22f67e54c1a15fcc643de2672b83aacb

    Updates on attack in Syria today against US and partner forces:

    - The two soldiers killed in Syria today were members of the Iowa National Guard, according to a US official. The civilian was an interpreter.

    - They were killed during a Key Leader Engagement in Palmyra, according to the US official and official close to the Syrian government.

    - The shooter was a member of the Ministry of Interior’s security forces, according to the two officials. He was already “under investigation for his ties to ISIS,” and was being “kicked out” of the interior ministry, said the US official, who called him a “rogue member.” The official close to the Syrian government says he was “about to be arrested.”

    And you can bet those forces are going to be much better equipped than the meat waves in Ukraine.

    I'm also betting that if they go through with building up those groups/centers, after that he will do a massive mobilization of Moscow and St. Petersburg.  If he's not building those groups/centers up for that, then there's something else on the way economically.

    Most of it is association and innuendo stuff, I'm relatively certain.  Some of it, like Trump's birthday card, weirder and more sinister than others.

    Trump is certainly scared of it and wanted it to go away after he took office.  And he leaned on Congress not to vote in favor of releasing the files.

    If they had actual photos of a crime committed, they'd have it out there already

    The estate is not going to have any such photos because that’s illegal to own.  The DOJ swept all of those up.  

    Trump campaigned last year on releasing the files. In February his AG claimed to have a list of clients on her desk. Then he said there were no files or lists or whatever. But he released something to influencers.  Which was tame stuff.  Then Congress finally forced his hand. Then he ordered the DOJ to investigate again, most likely to tie up a lot of files as evidence.

    None showed anything but Trump, Bannon, and Woody Allen.

    You were defeated by what’s called a “slideshow” or a “gallery”.  Swipe the photos or click on them.  There were at least two AP stories that featured them. CNN keeps popping up a paywall and/or they are in video clips and I’m not going to deal with it.

    We've done this item (1) before, under both Dem and Repub presidents.  It works.  We are doing something WAY different than that, and you know exactly why. 

    And if we wanted to slow down illegal immigration, reducing the need for rounding people up, we should start by drying up the jobs here - go after the companies and people who are hiring them, proving them an impetus to come here illegally in the first place. As long as there are better jobs here, they will continue to try and come here and they will risk it. 

    Combine that with trying to improve conditions in those nations so they never leave in the first place, and create new markets for American businesses there if we can boost those countries’ economies. Maybe we could call such an organization….I dunno…maybe “USAID”.

  12. What's the lesson for Ukraine from this win from 45 years ago, when you defeated a Russian team [during the 1980 Winter Olympics] against all odds?
     

    President Trump: Well, it's a similar situation, isn't it? Let's see what happens. We're working on seeing if we can make a deal right now. We're going to see. We'll soon know.
