The premise that Jeff Bezos said human water consumption will limit AI growth stems from a controversial viral headline that actually reported the exact opposite sentiment. A quote attributed to Bezos circulated heavily online: "If we starve our data infrastructure of cooling resources just to sustain baseline human comfort, we are actively delaying the birth of a super-intelligence... Sometimes you have to prioritise the intelligence that will save us over the biology that slows us down." While that viral quote caused widespread outrage on platforms like Reddit and X (formerly Twitter), tech analysts and public records confirm that the quote...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) expressed his intention Thursday to subpoena Dr. Anthony Fauci over allegations that he covered up his role in the COVID-19 pandemic. Will we finally see justice served? Paul spoke to a small gathering hosted by Young America’s Foundation about his push to expose the extent to which Fauci lied to the public and Congress during and after the onset of the pandemic. “I’ve been working with [Fauci] to bring him in [to testify] voluntarily,” Paul said. “He agreed to come in, and now when it finally gets to the date, he’s saying he’s not coming in,...

Buzz Patterson was the Air Force pilot who, as a Major, carried the nuclear football for Bill Clinton. He has since written several best-selling books about his experiences in the Clinton White House. He has also written about those experiences on X. The Daily Mail provides some insight: [Patterson] said he primarily lived in the White House and was 'always in close proximity to both Bill and Hill', which made him quickly learn that the mood of the day 'depended solely on the presence or absence of Hillary.' [skip] He said in his X post that the day-to-day work for...

A judge in Collin County, Texas, on Friday night released evidence from the murder case involving Karmelo Anthony, including police body camera footage from Anthony's arrest.

Archaeologists uncovered the earliest known evidence of cereal harvesting in the Canary Islands, according to a report in La Brújula Verde. The discovery was made at the C008 cave complex at the Roque Bentayga rock formation on Gran Canaria. The site was likely used as a granary, for plant processing, and, later, as a burial ground by the ancient Canarians, a people of Amazigh, or Berber, origin, between the tenth and the thirteenth centuries. Excavations within the caves yielded over 200 lithic artifacts. Microscopic analyses of wear patterns on some of the objects, particularly a small basalt knife, determined that...

During his life, Franklin had many careers...

And you thought you saw it all but then you see a pro algae protest in D.C. These people have TDS so bad that they are literally wanting the algae returned to the pool. Can we start a go fund me for insane asylums nation wide. We need them so badly.

‘Look, it’s a binary choice.” That’s how I’ve somehow rationalized voting — not once but three times — for Donald Trump, whose second term amounts to the worst presidency of my lifetime. I still think it’s true that a presidential election is a binary choice, even if that may paradoxically be self-delusional.

In 2005, a truly bipartisan Congress passed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act—text here--in response to lawfare against gun makers. Their tactic was suing manufacturers for the criminal misuse of their lawful products by people over whom they had no control or knowledge. It was akin to suing Ford for the damage caused by drunk drivers, an obvious violation of the intent and text of tort law. It was an evil, but ingenious strategy. Gun makers aren’t among the most prosperous companies, and even if they won nearly every nuisance lawsuit, anti-liberty/gun cracktivists could bankrupt them with legal...

The so-called “leaders” of Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany are the four jokers of the apocalypse — each doing his damndest to drag what’s left of those nations into Hell. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has given several speeches recently in which he reaffirms his commitment to fighting “climate change” by severely limiting Canadians’ meat and dairy consumption, clothing allowance, private ownership of vehicles, air travel, and other basic lifestyle choices. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer — who did nothing while Islamic rape gangs hunted young British girls — has rolled out a totalitarian system for online speech...

Supreme Court justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh joined with liberal justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson in a 5-4 decision upholding the jurisdiction of state courts when plaintiffs also seek review by the federal court system. Chief Justice John Roberts, Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, and Elena Kagan dissented in the ruling in T.M. v. University of Maryland Medical System Corp. “The case was brought by a person identified only as T.M., who said she has a medical condition that can cause psychosis when she ingests gluten. In March 2023, she accidentally did so and was...

Dr. Andrew Snelling takes on the sneaky phrases used to sell the idea of millions and billions of years as settled fact—claims about coal, oil, diamonds, fossils, and more that get repeated again and again.

I'm not smart enough to analyze this correctly, but most of my house is operating low voltage items . . . TV's, lap tops and a ton of smaller lights and stuff that all have those little black boxes for plugs.

Science has learned that Morens, an influenza researcher who worked at the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) until 2022 and was an aide to its former director, Anthony Fauci, was having his morning coffee at his Chester, Maryland, home when he heard loud pounding on the door.
