When the public finally learns the full accounting of the damage done in this war, it’ll probably be too late to hold anyone in the Trump administration accountable.

But this is insane. And they’re lying to the American people.

The national average for diesel is currently $6.40 a gallon, and analysts expect it to get worse.

This is not sustainable.

75% of truckers and 75% of farmers and ranchers voted for Trump. For this.

And a ballroom and triumphal arch.

I also think that he is simply fascinated with death and intoxicated by the idea that he can inflict death.

Macron, quietly calling Trump a liar: “The Strait of Hormuz has remained basically blocked, and there are no agreements to open the strait.

“In fact, the situation in transit has degraded compared to a few weeks ago.”

After insisting that Biden bore blame for an international economic crisis caused by a pandemic that unfolded on Trump's watch, Republicans are now trying to persuade voters *not* to blame Trump for a worse crisis he deliberately created through unneeded wars and tariffs.

Good luck with that!

If you want to know why I'm working hard to get this book back out there, you'll understand, hopefully, if you read the thread.

Also I have a small number of paperbacks here, with a free linocut bookmark made by my mum, Jo, for those in the UK. Do email me at [email protected] if you'd like one.
Hello new followers! I've removed the paywall from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you probably won't... www.tom-cox.com/the-village-...
The Village Message Board
Its authenticity was discredited because of his reputation, but also because he was quick with gin at the time and wearing an item of knitwear back to front.

The Trump administration is reportedly considering 12 data center projects on federal public lands.

The data center locations include 17,600 acres in Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Arizona.

incredible: just two states that haven't reached the $6/gal mark for diesel, but they'll likely join today, making it all 50 states that have diesel prices >$6 per gallon. Texas and Oklahoma clinging (for now) at $5.98 and $5.99, respectively. come on in, the water's boiling!

A little weird that the pro-AI position is that it could potentially kill all of humanity and the anti-AI position is that it definitely won't.

FWIW I think there's a range of plausible outcomes for e.g. rogue AI hacking that are very bad even if you take human extinction off the table.

I’ve been saying AI for a few weeks, but now that all of the AI techs are raising the alarm:

Yemen. If Bab al-Mandab gets completely out of control, we’re going to see a LOT of bad shit happen. Fertilizer is already hard to come by. Oil prices will skyrocket. Food insecurity is a real possibility.

I’ve seen that theory, and the way he warns about it happening is nightmare fuel.

Johnson is no longer Speaker at noon on January 3. The House Clerk prepares the roll prior to Congress losing their jobs. The theory is that they could simply leave Dems off.

It wouldn’t work, but it would be chaos.

If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model.

Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.

Yikes! That ballroom isn’t going to complement the White House. It’s going to overpower it.

Look at the scale of this thing. The people’s house is being swallowed by one man’s monument to himself.

One year after announcing “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files,” Elon Musk is now expected to spend over $100 million on the midterms to help Trump cling to power.

We can’t match Musk’s money, but we’ve got something he will never have: Friends — and the power of We The People on our side.

Arming the enemy.
Houthis just filmed a warehouse full of US-made armor they took off Saudi-backed forces after Mocha fell. Shot on an iPhone. Such a damaging image! The coalition’s decade-long war in Yemen is ending in captured American equipment & open humiliation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Hey Trump, hey Hegseth – who ya gonna blame for this? The whole world knows it's on you.
The Houthis recorded all the U.S. military equipment they seized from Saudi Arabia after defeating them. The level of humiliation they're subjecting the United States and its allies to is unprecedented. The rebel doing the filming does it with an iPhone to rub it in even more. #cdnpoli

I hope everyone is paying attention to Yemen.

If the Houthis are able to hold Mokha and significantly impede Bab al-Mandab, this gets really, really bad.
