It's genuinely helpful that the press has successfully signalled that they will not treat Kamala Harris generously or fairly if Biden steps aside for her. Clarifying!

The timeline giveth.

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.

This!! Start with “they want to end no fault divorce, sell national parks, and ban porn” end with tax structure.

Good ride today. Actually felt like I could push for a while.

3 minutes too slow.

Girmay!

I just want to save this series of tweets for posterity. Hopefully, we’ll have a chance to go back over what’s going on here when tempers have cooled.

Look for the union label. Let’s go, Joe.

Hello, Treasury Department, if you’re listening…

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

2/10 This effect of machinery holds only in so far as it is cast into the role of fixed capital, and this it is only because the worker relates to it as wage-worker, and the active individual generally, as mere worker." (p. 702)

I have rocked every one of these personas (Mr. Barackus for the least amount of time), and all are worthwhile.

Remember back when boy bands were all about the music and not the marketing?

We, the people, are goddamned unstoppable

THEY DID IT!!

Goddamnit. I’m in.

(Biden enters from left, assumes the podium) My friends, I've invited you all here to give you the answers you deserve. (A grin spreads across his face. He slowly puts on his sunglasses. An ice cream cone has appeared in his hand)

10/10 Harris is accomplished and awesome. The USA is racist and sexist.

#5: Harris is the only plausible nominee if it's not Biden. I do not have good vibes about how the press will treat Harris

Ride hard, tiny possum.

Of course WIRED has an article Bitcoin uses 112.31 TWh annually AI servers could use between 85 to 134 Twh annually by 2027 in a middle-ground scenario Other resources, like water, also are impacted in both scenarios

AI vs Bitcoin mining: Which consumes more energy?wired.me If AI and crypto are the technological behemoths of our era, which one has a bigger appetite for energy?

this is a solid take.

Thanks largely to Biden and the Democratic party there is now a kind of global race to get to the mass, chear carbon-free energy. We're going to hit peak global emissions (fingers crossed) this year or next. We're deploying solar at a level that blowing away every single prediction.

Jesus Christ on a surfboard shout this from every parapet.

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

Also, fired up Zepplin III for tonite’s reading, since that’s the one that contains Moby Dick Melville and Emerson would have loved the blues, being embracers of a multi-ethnic America. Hawthorne and Thoreau would not have been able to deal with it.

Moby Dick, chapter 9, The Sermon - “I guess he’s like the adulterer that broke jail in old Gomorrah, or be like, one of the missing murderers from Sodom” Let’s teach the 10 commandments as they were understood at the founding, if we must. but, the founders abhorred state religion So let’s not.

Did yard work. Rode my bicycle. There is chicken and ribs finishing up on the smoker and I’m drinking a Negroni and listening to the Baptist carillon play a very upbeat selection of hymns. This is enough, and this is something I wish everyone could experience.
