Fuck yeah. I’ve got a bunch of GOP voter fraud to report.
Let’s start with the 3 dudes who voted from Scott Pressler’s house
Bell this cat, RFN!

Found it @RealDonaldTrump – where’s my $1 million?
You can wire it straight to the 10,000 election workers who are volunteering their time to protect against your efforts to steal the midterms.
NEW: Trump is offering $1 million to anyone who reports cases of "voter fraud" in the midterms or past elections that lead to a conviction.
It's his latest attempt to present rare cases of illegal voting as a widespread problem that threatens U.S. elections. demdock.com/4zSmNC2

Meta recently updated their terms of service to require any businesses that use their products to turn over their intellectual property in exchange for access to their platforms.
I’m urging Meta to reverse this decision and compensate creators and publishers for their work.
How it’s going…
‘President Donald Trump has betrayed, or "left out in the cold," a group of key workers that he once encouraged to trust him.’

Lounges are getting bigger and better.
& yes, they're increasingly overcrowded. And they probably always will be.
Airlines and banks have made lounges the cornerstone of their credit card machine. There's no restriction that will offset the amount of cards being sold today.

During the January 6th attack on the nation's Capitol, Daniel Rodriguez drove a stun gun into the neck of Officer Mike Fanone. He was knocked unconscious, had a heart attack and suffered a traumatic brain injury. It ended his career.
Rodriguez got over 12 years in prison for his assault on police. On day one, Donald Trump gave him a "full, complete and unconditional pardon" and sent him home.
This is far and away the most corrupt White House in American history.

Everyone else in Amex Lounges is a low class reject.
Not you, though. The $895 you paid made you more special.
I’m done with @AmericanExpress platinum card. It was worth $900 a year when you could get into lounges with it. There was some exclusivity.
Now every low class reject gets in. An hour waitlist and then when you finally get in, it’s people on speakerphone, screaming, acting like it’s a Carnival cruise.
Amex has been enshittified. I’ll save my 895 bucks a year.

Orbán gone. The Bolsonaros gone. Vucic gone. Netanyahu so desperate to avoid facing the criminal courts of his country if he loses the upcoming election that he's trying to incite a nuclear war.
Americans can do their part to stem the toxic tide of global fascism on November 3.
BREAKING: Putin just lost another ally in Europe, and people are celebrating in the streets. Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia’s authoritarian leader and close ally of Trump and Putin, has officially conceded defeat in a historic snap parliamentary election. The student-led opposition movement has won, ending more than a decade of Vucic’s grip on power. Voter turnout reached nearly 70%, the highest since the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1992.

We already knew there is not enough power to plug in enormous quantities of GPUs collecting dust in warehouses but this admission from the SpaceX CFO implies that EVEN WHERE THERE IS POWER and the GPUs are ALREADY INSTALLED, they are STILL not flipping the on switch.
Why? Because there is ALSO a giant compute glut within already energized compute and they wont be able to cover depreciation expense once they flip the on switch. The chips are depreciating either way but not flipping them on keep up the accounting illusion of smaller losses. Withholding hoarded compute also helps to not exacerbate downward pricing pressure.
SpaceX CFO panicked on the earnings call
‘We installed them in the racks but we haven’t turned them on yet and there’s a very important reason why a CFO would jump in and cover their butt, because the second you turn on those GPUs you have to start depreciating them; you have to start booking the loss of the capital that you spent to buy them’
‘If they are not turned on yet you don’t have to encor that depreciation expense and if you take that exchange and the gigawatts and the CFO, that’s why our earnings are so great because we’re not depreciating all these assets’
‘They are just buying these things, buying them in thousands and they are just putting them on shelves; they aren’t even installing them, they can’t install them because they can’t get the data center built’
