This happened to me too - roofied at random. I was lucky, and went home with friends, and nothing happened except that I got very, very sick the next day. I’ll never know why it happened. If the spiked drink was meant for someone else, I hope at least they got home safe too.

Came full circle as a millennial today when my kid used their toddler camera to take low res digital selfies at the same MySpace angle we all used to (since there’s no front facing camera)

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

Actually I’m still upset about this so let me clarify: unless you work at a chemical plant, your primary exposure to PFAS is your drinking water. Fewer than 25% of electronics are recycled in the US. The rest goes mostly in landfills, which - you guessed it - often leak into your drinking water.

I think the thing that irritates me most about AI in sustainability conversations is that COULD BE of the most useful applications for it. Quantifying/understanding emission factors is incredibly hard and also the basis for any kind of regulatory action against manufacturers or businesses. We can’t

Can confirm for textiles. The factory that cut/sewed your clothes or blankets or toys sold them for about 10-15% of what you paid at retail. Profit was ~2%. Labor cost was also about 2-5% of that price. It’s the same % for mass or luxury goods.

Yep, agreed. I literally just posted about this. The album is the supergroup Czarface (Inspektah Deck, Esoteric, 7L) and Tom Hardy as Frankie Pulitzer. This is not a "Tom Hardy rap album" it's a collaboration with 3 rappers and a dope producer. Let's not do this tonight.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

Today is Button Battery Awareness Day. Button batteries can be deadly if swallowed. If you have kids in your home, keep button batteries locked up out of their sight and reach. Check floors, couches, tabletops, and other furniture to make sure there are no loose button batteries around the home.
A bunch of poisonous mushrooms next to a button battery. The text reads: both deadly when eaten, but only one is already in your home. Button batteries can be deadly if swallowed. Keep remotes, electronics, and products with accessible coin cell and button cell batteries away from children.

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.
