    haha this rules.

    folks don't know that AIs scraping websites accounts for like half of all internet bandwidth usage right now. Sites get scraped- ie, all the contents downloaded- over and over again, destroying/wasting their bandwidth, often maxing it out. It's like being continually DDOS'd

    I need to find myself a nonfiction science book agent to pitch my next book idea to. I need another long-term project to get my mind focused and off of everything else.

    Yeah this would probably radicalize me in ways I dont want to fully contemplate if I was in this man's position

    "Local contractor Bud Bolton, who lives just downstream from the RV parks on the Ingram-Kerrville border that suffered heavy losses of life, testified that he saw 108 RVs swept downstream, some of them with families still inside. Bolton, who woke up on his own when there was water on his doorstep around 4:15 a.m. said 20 fire trucks and rescue vehicles were parked near his home but no one knocked on his door to warn him. When Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, halted Bolton’s testimony, he seized the mic again saying, "I lost 27 people that I knew" before being cut off for exceeding his time limit."

    The MAGA-led response to the Texas floods is going great - so great that locals are still finding rotting human body parts in the debris that no one in government appears to care about picking up:

    Residents told state lawmakers about what they’ve lost and the hardships they’re experiencing almost a month after the July 4 disaster devastated the region.

    Dean looks like he's turning into the next out of shape Steven Seagal and this doesn't seem like a coincidence
