Samsung Releases Emergency Update for Millions of Galaxy Phones 🔛 @darnell@flipboard.com 📰 https://www.geeky-gadgets.com/samsung-galaxy-security-update/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=other

This is not a good look for #Uber. Honestly, they will be easily replaced by less expensive rivals in Nigeria 🇳🇬 (I rarely used Uber when traveling through Nigeria 🇳🇬).

My theory: Uber is struggling (they announce layoffs recently) & they are preparing themselves to be purchased by rivals.

Trump says US has entered deal with Venezuela to take control of 65 billion barrels of oil reserves 🔛 @darnell@flipboard.com 📰 https://apnews.com/article/trump-venezuela-oil-reserves-eb0ed5a1e99602c21a7f690c3368020e?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=user/AssociatedPress

@mastohost Thanks for the update! Also, these things happen so we understand!

I am not surprised to see both #Republicans & #Democrats becoming hostile towards #AI data centers.

👉🏾 Data centers’ ‘oh s--t’ moment https://www.politico.com/news/2026/08/24/data-centers-oh-s-t-moment-01046465

The spike in electricity prices, property taxes (because the data centers get steep discounts), & water usage are enraging Americans across the political spectrum.

You know it is bad when #GOP governors in conservative states are starting to turn against the AI data centers.

@viticci I understand the reasons, & those who loathe #ElonMusk may not accept the business reality & cultural position that #X occupies right now.

I stayed on 𝕏 for business & political reasons.

𝕏 is still the fastest way to contact companies, government agencies & politicians. Also the #XMoney IntraFi banking setup is unrivaled in public access.

That said, I will continue to enthusiastically use #Fediverse apps (primarily #Mastodon, #WordPress, #Flipboard & #Threads).

I am glad #Canada 🇨🇦 convinced #Trump to postpone the tariffs (as that would directly affect me!).

However, is reviving the Keystone Pipeline worth it though‽

This is not unusual in the US if you talk to someone crazy online unfortunately.

After seeing, what happened to #Greece 🇬🇷 years ago, this fear is even more rational in #Russia 🇷🇺.

So #France 🇫🇷 wants parents to be parents & be the family filter for their kids.

I am stoked he won! Now #Democrats have a decent chance of defeating the #MAGA candidate in Wisconsin!

Chaos amongst #Democrats is not helping, but attempts by the #GOP to portray Democrats as socialists/communists is working.

I read in another poll that Republicans are likely to hold the Senate now. GOP could lose the House, but their odds are still surprisingly higher than I expected.

@Lkdc People are already losing homes to AI data centers in America 🇺🇸, which is enraging people right now! Folks are already upset with the GOP & Trump, as everyone is trying to protect what little they have left.

If another party comes along that is crazier than the GOP, people will vote for the evil that they know instead.

@Lkdc There is a summary of the transcript on 𝕏 (I think YouTube makes it difficult to copy transcripts). https://x.com/vigilantfox/status/2083417293267108344

Basically “seizing the means of production,” seizing lands from landlords or even seizing property from citizens as good. Most Americans vehemently oppose these ideals, & will vote against Democrats if they ever advocated for these ideas.

I would vote against them as well (probalby third party).

I know many #Democrats loathe #BillMaher, but he is mostly right.

👉🏾 New Rule: Commie By Your Name | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) https://youtu.be/dRIjYHVh5kI

The party needs to come out vehemently against the Democratic Socialists of #America 🇺🇸 (#DSA).

Otherwise the United States will only have two extremist parties, & many will choose the #MAGA #Republicans over fear of losing what little they have left.

FIFA president nixes idea to sell stakes in World Cup to private equity investors 🔛 @darnell@flipboard.com 📰 https://www.nbcnews.com/sports/soccer/fifa-private-equity-plan-gianni-infantino-world-cup-rcna590317?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=user/NBCNews

@roknrol Actually, there was a more recent case that terrified companies & CEO’s. It was only after Edward Snowden leaked what the NSA was doing that the rest of the public connected the dots.

👉🏾 Only One Big Telecom CEO Refused To Cave To The NSA ... And He's Been In Jail For 4 Years https://finance.yahoo.com/news/only-one-big-telecom-ceo-184400836.html

There are other instances, & it really does not matter who is President. This is also why many companies are politically active nowadays.
