SHE’S SERVED HER PURPOSE, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, SHE KNOWS IT:
Notice how Nithya Raman just completely disappeared after they blocked us out of the general election?
She's not campaigning at all. Like a pickpocket disappearing into the crowd. Just a ghost. I told you her campaign was a scam. Colluding with Bass from the start.

READ THE WHOLE THING:
How the FIFA tournament matters more than you realize:
Earlier this week I spoke with someone close to senior European defense officials.
He tried lecturing me. My response?
The greatest gift FIFA gave America is not soccer. We don’t care about soccer. It’s sharing pints with… https://t.co/fW9ecogeEr

IT’S MY THURSDAY ESSAY FOR VIP SUBSCRIBERS: Our Love/Meh Relationship With AI.
“People wanted more than just text,” former CEO Eric Schmidt later said of the company’s moonshot effort to design, build, and launch the first image search engine as quickly as humanly possible. “Google Image Search was born” on July 12, 2001, Schmidt later recalled.
Google Image Search immediately became one of the company’s most-loved and most-used tools, and constant refinements over the last 25 years helped keep it that way. I moved on from Google years ago — mostly because I despise the company’s business practices — but when the copycats fail, I find myself back on GIS.
Then this week — on Image Search’s 25th birthday — Google just had to go and ruin it.
Say it with me now: “By adding AI nobody asked for.”
But this isn’t really about Google, Image Search, or even AI. It’s about tools.
Much more at the link.

CCP TOOL: Trump blasts Hochul over data center moratorium.
Hochul imposed a one-year moratorium on new data centers this month as national backlash to their explosive growth has increased in recent months. Trump, for his part, expressed support for data centers and encouraged states to embrace them.
“One of the biggest Driving Forces in the Future for Jobs, are Data Centers. They are big, strong, bold, and Money Machines for the State in which they are built. Governor Kathy Hochul, for political reasons, has terminated all Data Centers being built, or to be built, in New York State,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“These Companies are now being sought in Alabama, Florida, Texas, Arizona, and many other States. Both the Taxes and the Jobs amount to LIQUID GOLD!” he added. “New York State has made a terrible decision. All of this Income, and other Benefits, will be going to Red States, and some Blue, where Data Centers are sought as Cash Cows, with Lower Taxes and Record Setting Jobs.”
“They must pay for their own Water and Power, and any leftover goes back to the State and local Community. Data Centers are tremendous WINS for the States and Communities that are lucky enough to get them,” he added. “New York should change its Policy, IMMEDIATELY.”
But what would Comrade Xi say?
