Apparently stories about old video stores are trending so here's mine. Growing up we had a video store chain called Family Video or as my idiot friends called it FamVid and they had this giant stupid light structure that I could see through my bedroom window from like a mile away

Nevada's largest utility says it will need three times the electricity required to power Las Vegas just to handle proposed data centers — and it probably can't do that without fossil fuels.

Gotta hand it to the Journal here, that's how you write a headline for this nonsense
Trump said the U.S. would start guiding commercial ships out of the Strait of Hormuz. The plan doesn’t involve U.S. warships escorting the vessels.
Trump Says U.S. Will ‘Guide’ Stranded Ships Through Strait of Hormuz
The president called the plan, which doesn’t involve escorts by U.S. warships, a humanitarian gesture, and said that discussions with Iran continue.

President Trump is a racist rapist who has us mired in a mindlessly stupid war. But Zohran Mamdani just raised taxes on the $12 million trophy condo I spend two weeks in each year. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Hey @angrystaffer.bsky.social what I was saying about this, but in economist speak
Public debt isn’t like household debt. A family can hit a hard stop. A country can refinance, tax, grow, and revisit its budget year after year. The issue is sustainability, not a single scary number.

I hate the phrase "thank you for your attention to this matter" in the way Donald Trump uses it. Had Trump consulted Congress prior to his illegal war in Iran, there might be something to pay attention to. But now we're all in the dark.

I understand Democrats could always be doing more, I guess. Exhaust every option, fight everything etc. But I'm sick of people lamenting "Congress is broken." The republican party is rotten and corrupt to the core.
So sure fine, Congress is broken but only because they broke it

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

But I was told by serious people on here that even though the regime lies about everything we could trust things like jobs numbers?
Jerome Powell revealed that staffers at the Fed think the government could be overestimating the number of jobs created by 60,000 each month.
The true numbers could be closer to a loss of 20,000 jobs a month. trib.al/3m2ZShR
