Apparently, Combover Caligula went off on windmills again when he was visiting his golf course in Scotland, with taxpayers footing the bill of course (here)...you may be shocked to hear me say that he has a tiny bit...and I truly mean, a tiny bit...of a point when he gripes about the cost and impact of winding down wind energy projects (disposing of equipment, determining environmental impact...more data is here, and the appropriate push-back is here), but here’s the thing...you never, EVER hear that from ANY politician (definitely not any Repug politician) when it comes to dirty energy, mainly oil and gas...trying to determine impacts such as illness to people living nearby a dirty energy facility (more here) as well as environmental impact on fracking and mountaintop removal, etc. – I would most definitely say that determining the cost and impact of oil and gas exploration is MUCH WORSE than the equivalent for renewable energy...I think this clip puts #47’s latest idiocy in the context it deserves (I can't believe we have 3½ more years of this...ugh!)...
..and Leeja Miller tells us how Only Billionaires Benefit from AI along with their plan to criminalize homelessness...she starts with a recap of the Skydance/Paramount merger...I may have said earlier something about CBS wanting Paramount to stream its content and that was behind it – if I did, just spank my butt and call me Charlie because that wasn’t the main driver of the merger; basically, Paramount, the parent company of CBS, is doing all it can to let itself be consumed by Skydance, which is why Paramount put out the word to CBS to can Stephen Colbert when he started joking about it (hmmm, that pesky First Amendment is still a thing as far as I know)...and yes, David Ellison, the son of Larry Ellison of Oracle (one percent plutocrats both) is behind Skydance in case you were wondering...wasn’t aware of the role that Open AI and Ellison the Elder played in also trying to curry favor with our ruling regime...and I’m sorry to say this, but if I were a resident of Abilene, Texas, I would do all I could to get the hell out since Open AI development is coming whether they like it or not (while #47 and this bunch get rid of those pesky “government regs” that basically keep us safe and maintain our quality of life in order to build these humongous data centers)...oh, and see how seamlessly crypto ended up in this report with this Michael Kratsios guy, with ties to Peter Thiel of course? Typical for this bunch of grifters...and David Sacks (with ties to Thiel and Apartheid Clyde) is another one of these numbskulls yelling about “woke ideology” on college campuses; this report to me is more evidence that the characters in this video are prepping “Couch Boy” for the big chair in case Mango Mussolini doesn’t make it through his term, and no, I’m not wishing ill on anybody...and this is yet ANOTHER example of government funding used for R&D that has led this country to a position of dominance that will be sh*tcanned by these “free market” zealots and that will likely lead to us losing out to other countries, most notably China of course...among the many, many great points here is the cruel stoo-pidity behind non-compete agreements...and I know Brittany Page previously hit on the efforts of the Gropenfuhrer to basically imprison the homeless, but I think it needs to be mentioned again, especially since it ties back (along with damn near everything else) to Project 2025 in attacking cities...Miller cranks off near the end, but I think her take is definitely spot-on; she’s made a lot of good videos, but IMO this is one of her best – definitely connects the dots in a big way...NSFW/H...
...and Yasmin Khan of Rebel HQ informs us that it looks like not just the MAGA humans don’t know what to do, but neither do their “bots” (powered by AI of course) with about 400 of them exposed on Nazi Twitter by researchers at Clemson and others apparently (with the “bots” as confused as the humans behind the accounts)...didn’t know these accounts originated around last year’s elections, but that sure figures...if nothing else, this provides a good example of how to use social media to drive messaging, albeit in a conflicting way and with devious intent, a lesson those clueless election losers at the @DNC could profit from (and oh yeah, Mark Zuckerberg is doing what he can to encourage this madness...big surprise I know...and speaking of lessons to be learned by the @DNC, they should memorize every word of this)...
Update 8/4/25: There are times when I thought the @DNC found a way to monetize losing elections. Well, I was wrong, but the linked article from here comes pretty close to that as far as I'm concerned.
...and tying back a bit to the Leeja Miller video, this clip from More Perfect Union lets us know about a man living near a Bitcoin mine outside of Dallas (Granbury, TX) who says that “his life is hell” from excessive noise (and sadly, he has a lot of company in that regard)...the outfit guilty of this is called Marathon Digital Holdings from Flori-DUUH!...driving up energy costs, damaging the water supply – yep, this is another consequence IMO of the pernicious influence of Citizens United and opening the money spigot so politicians can feed on it at will...and oh yeah, in addition to the damage to the nearby residents from noise pollution, there’s increased energy costs as well, to say nothing of manipulating electricity and taking water (ah, but the shareholders live happily ever after, don’t they? And oh yeah, so does “Cancun” Cruz)...and I realize we’re talking about a location that’s pretty much bedrock Republican, and I certainly will never understand that...I can guess how that came about, though...but I would never say these folks should be denied relief because of that (these people obviously are getting their information from Fix Noise and other right-wing media, and probably from the pulpit too, but again, they deserve not to live like this)...
...and oh yeah, it looks like Cantaloupe Capone is coming up with creative new ways to try and get rid of the taint of Jeffrey Epstein, apparently to no avail (and leave it to Mr. Newberger to give this the treatment it deserves)...
...and as far as I’m concerned, anyone who has written or performed a song parody over the last 50-60 years owes a debt to Tom Lehrer (and I may have to do a penance for this one 😊...and to be serious for a minute about faith matters, it looks like "Republican Jesus" has struck again in Portland as noted here).
