floofloof@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•White House moves to keep costly, dirty, unneeded Michigan coal plants open22·16 hours agoSo they pollute, they raise the price of power for Michigan residents, they don’t provide any needed power, everyone in charge wants them closed down and local people don’t want them either. Is Trump ordering them to stay open just because informed and responsible people say they should close? Is it just the government equivalent of rolling coal in the face of a cyclist because you’re bitter about how your life has gone?

Hmm. Not sure how to feel about that. Depends whether he’s in it.
floofloof@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•Democrats want new leaders, focus on pocketbook issues, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds16·1 day agoExtremely depressing to read that. People don’t understand that you can’t have a society that truly respects everyone’s rights except those people. Trans rights are the frontline of the fight for everyone’s rights, not some optional extra.
floofloof@lemmy.caOPto politics @lemmy.world•US Army appoints Palantir, Meta, OpenAI execs as Lt. Colonels4·1 day agoThanks. So this may not be the best source but this particular story is confirmed to be true. The exact positions of these execs makes this all the more concerning:
The four new Army Reserve Lt. Cols. are Shyam Sankar, Chief Technology Officer for Palantir; Andrew Bosworth, Chief Technology Officer of Meta; Kevin Weil, Chief Product Officer of OpenAI; and Bob McGrew, advisor at Thinking Machines Lab and former Chief Research Officer for OpenAI.

Congress isn’t stopping him doing anything. I don’t see them suddenly changing just to prevent global nuclear war.
This is how you get Mothra.
Sounds like science stuff and facts. MAGA doesn’t have any time for those.

floofloof@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•Cybersecurity takes a big hit in new Trump executive order5·2 days agoThis policy brought to you by the party of “bird flu is everywhere and only vaccines got us through the recent pandemic, so cancel all vaccine research and stop distributing vaccines,” and “climate change is already having devastating effects and will destroy everything we have if it continues to accelerate, so make renewable energy prohibitively difficult and expensive and attempt to expand the coal industry,” and also “natural disasters are becoming more frequent and intense, so dismantle FEMA.”
And they quite probably killed the scientists’ families too when they attacked them at home.
