It shows the politicians that are tied to the industry's lobbying groups and how much of the players involved in their lobbying transitioned directly from the crypto industry.:

Finally it talks about how that money is being used to remove all barriers at the federal level, how OpenAI's founders were the top donors to Trump's superPAC.
Remember the next time you use Chatgpt how much the tech industry has enabled and facilitated the fascist nightmare that is America
More evidence of Gavin Newsom, like all Democrats, being part of the problem.
Spoiler: (click to show)(click to hide) I literally have no idea what these charts are supposed to represent.
It's hilarious that it focuses on Chris Lehane being an "AI lobbyist" with "crypto ties" ignoring that he was a long time Democratic political operative who ran parts of the Clinton and Gore presidential campaigns and helped produce Michael Moore's films. And has ran a political-PR agency since the mid-2000s. This is almost certainly why these groups hired him, three of the last four terms have had Democratic presidents. It looks like Airbnb also recently used him to fight against Democratic cities trying to regulate them out of existence in the cities, I'm surprised Uber isn't on his client list too.
edit: Sorry, it's hilarious how gullible and paranoid they all are over there. Though this isn't quite a troll has infiltrated Nintendo to undermine customer service and protect racist usernames level.

It's a correct question because Mercante isn't employed anymore, her entire social media presence is about grifting this. Say what you will about that other guy, and his legal stupidity, but he at least makes YouTube videos about crap. (And the reason he grifts about the lawsuit has a lot to do with the fact that Mercante is maliciously and frivolously suing him through use of a fascist law firm that employs people who believe their job is to destroy the internet and openly brag about doing this.)

There’s an alternate reality where Trump wins in 2020 and Resetera becomes an antivax community.
I suppose is that reality where Trump doesn’t appeal to antivaxx or quack doctors because politics. 
Sorry, I forgot that being a member of the Resetera politics group in 2020 is a core part of your identity. Wasn’t trying to imply you’re antivax.

And thought gee, they sure picked an interesting day to have the word ice in their caption. Then I noticed three more posts they made using the word ice worked into the caption in the last 24 hours.
Are they trying to juice the algorithm by using that word for visibility, because if they are that feels weird. 
The moral paragons at polygon? Surely not
They were pretty blatantly signaling to their Trump masters that they're in support of everything he does. Yts will do this instead of organizing. I'm so fucking tired.

They so desperately want to will this into reality.

I love that they really think somebody decided to make a clear Nazi ad promoting eugenics to get MAGA idiots to come out to see movies like a sports biopic about a lesbian from a first time production company. This makes complete sense as a plan to them.
edit: Actually, thread fails for not having someone suggest she's getting charged by woke California to grift money for a legal fund from MAGA.

But he did even when he lost.  (I remember reading he does privately and sometimes it escapes in his speeches). He just doesn’t tout it every minute. (Because he realizes his political allies and his base opinions about it)
You are right he may have better incentive to pretend he cares about actual mainstream medicine knowledge If he had won, but the dude was flip flopping about vaccines even when WarpSpeed was full ahead. In the end he just prefers to differ to his nutters like RFK.

Shoot shocked that murderous terrorist regimen kills a lot of people:
Shoot wrote:I can't believe this. 30-40k killed is far worse than anyone could have imagined. Indiscriminate killing on a massive scale is the only way to cause that much damage. This has to be an inflection point in Iran. Things can't just go back after this.
Quote:Even in terms of stupid regime stuff like killing protesters, killing that many people and going out of your way to do it is like suicidal to the country itself. What was the plan here?
The only thing that makes sense to me is that the regime actually felt like it was about to fall and did this in a desperate attempt to hold on to power. They definitely knew the consequences of what they were doing and this goes far beyond one or two massacres that went out of control due to anxious soldiers.
They think this is the first time Iran does it and is the other stuff is the fault of “anxious soldiers”.
