Joe Biden would have been there. Trump 'had other priorities,' in this case dining with Saudi golf execs about a LIV golf tournament at one of his resorts.
Mr 'They Knew What They Signed Up For' can't be bothered to not chase money, sorry not sorry gold star families. Stay classy Cadet Bonespurs.

Drat. I need to figure out why the free to me articles on Apple News are giving other people paywalls. I do not have a subscription. Google’s AI doesn’t know!
Unfortunately that 'modern digital records' turned out to be even less stable than the tapes and vanished a day later....View attachment 121593
Like some @ commented: "Historians are going to have better records from the 19th century than the 21st, is my most medievalist futurist prediction."
Yeah... those magnetic tapes have longer retention than 'digital records' if they're on actual hardware, unless they're backed up.View attachment 121593

Don't forget the possibility that this permanent modern digital record may be associated with an ongoing cost that someone Herr Musk knows makes money from.Yeah... those magnetic tapes have longer retention than 'digital records' if they're on actual hardware, unless they're backed up.
In all likelihood someone spent 10m to save 1m and ended up with a worse/more fiddly backup/recovery/verification model.
Yup, backing up to an S3 bucket conveniently rented out by x-rentals that's definitely totally not using excess hardware capacity in twitter server rooms.Xcancel version: https://xcancel.com/lthomasnews/status/1908523341008298300

They just shredded them all and claimed raid6 is backup.They transferred 14,000 tapes in less than three months? Bullshit.
People will pull the feat themselves, and if he wants to interfere, is likely that will be taken down very fast.It looks like the UK is getting their policy direction from the US via Putin lol

Reeves rejects calls for ‘buy British’ campaign in response to US tariffs
Chancellor says asking shoppers to prioritise UK products would make country too ‘inward-looking’www.theguardian.com
If all y’alls ain’t reading the executive orders directly, you need to start doing so. Trump’s new order on coal is Mao level delusional central planning. His orders on power plants and the grid are federal power grabs on par with Fugitive Slave Act for the depth of interference with state and local affairs and are devoid of statutory authority.

Buy an expensive capital asset that lasts 30+ years and lasts through unknown economic and political policy swings or just wait till Trump dies, given that he is 78....Not one utility is going to purchase a new coal burning unit. Not a single one. Even if solar panels from Vietnam are tariffed at 47% its still cheaper just to buy those and they won't be a stranded asset when Trump is gone. Complete fantasy land stuff.
Is there any explanation to Trump's "beautiful" coal obsession (he also mentioned it when talking about Germany a few days ago)? Why would anyone want that? Is it just part of his obsession of bringing back old stuff?If all y’alls ain’t reading the executive orders directly, you need to start doing so.
