To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

One of America’s Last Chestnut Groves Is About to Be Destroyed for a Data Center
A rare 200-tree American chestnut grove in West Virginia may be cleared for data-center development, but the project denies the site is on its land.

A two panel meme of the Simpsons. The top panel has kirk van houten gesturing to a race care bed. The text reads "im an AI guy. How many local models do YOU run?" The bottom panel is homer with a pope hat photoshopped onto his head. The bottom text reads "I run the catholic church."

An unnecessary and expensive and annoying message, which will ultimately be "a large majority of Albertans have voted against separation." These people are exhausting.

I get along with people easily enough, but get close/attached to very few; I've heard similar from a few other autistic people. Also, I definitely relate to the feeling of "Can't remember the last time I met anyone I'd consider dating seriously, I guess that's it for me, single from here on out" lol

Danielle Smith made a run-of-the-mill T&R Day post on fb and it got a ton of 😂 reacts and "show me proof" comments. These are *her* supporters + the separatists she's still trying to court. If she actually wants to do something meaningful today, she should clear up the misinfo instead of ignoring it
The image from Danielle Smith's Facebook post for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It's croppedshowing the text "Truth and Reconciliation" at the top.  There's an orange maple leaf with a black feather silhouette on it. Below, a comment from Derek Rogers said "Where's the bones?" The "reactions" on the post are laughing, thumbs up, and heart, in that order, from most to least.

Whenever a politician, or anyone, denies/minimizes **documented facts** about Canada's history of anti-Indigenous policies, especially the ones targeting kids, it makes me wonder what they think current and future governments should be able to get away with

Right now people are sharing stories of their relatives' trauma endured in childhood just to get comments like "Where's the PROOF??" from people informed by foreign-run bot farms on fb. It would be cool if conservative leaders would address that in their generic, probably AI-written T&R Day posts!

Especially in the AI era, lately I've been thinking that maybe some stories are better kept close, only shared among family and people we know and trust to engage with them with appropriate nuance, care, intentions, etc

I hate to be a late-identified autistic telling a stranger they could be autistic, and I absolutely don't know enough about you to think that you are, but a hard-to-pin-down "personality disorder" sometimes turns out to be autism

I'll take it to the influencer families' comment sections where I will tell them they're flaunting their privilege - in this economy?? 😡 Not everyone has the capacity to keep their floors spotless. Some people's socks are old and never look pure white and they can't afford new ones.

I've never seen a poll suggesting any chance of Alberta voting to separate. We have an election next year, when a party could run on a separatist platform. But no, let's waste time and money to entertain the little fantasy of facebook-misinfo-pilled extremists who will reject the results anyway.

I just realized a lot of kids these days are accessing media through online algorithms, not learning about music etc from older siblings and cousins as nature intended, so they might never have common pop culture references with the people around them

In 2024, the US imported ~12 million metric tons of potassic fertilizers from Canada (hillnotes.ca/2025/06/05/p...) Specialized ships can carry ~60k metric tons, tho container ships <half that (www.sasktoday.ca/central/loca...) So we'd need at least 200 ships loaded from [checks notes] Belarus

My recent "enough is enough" moment: I wanted to listen to music. Credit card expired so I had to update it on my streaming app. I got the new card, entered it - processing error.

This past week I got a DVD player again and started to rebuild a DVD and CD collection. Just gave my kid her first CD (K-pop Demon Hunters soundtrack) and DVD set (She-Ra complete series). I told her about liner notes, and showed her how to handle the discs to keep them in good condition.

When choosing a flash tattoo as a teenager I was considering this one abstract design and my dad said "I know it's not a swastika, but at first glance it kinda reminds me of one" and that was enough for me to say yikes, def not that one then. Even if somehow, some way that image was unintentional...

When I saw that on US TV shows I thought it must be just a TV thing, like it would disrupt the flow of the scene if people had to stop and take their shoes off at the door, so they keep them on. I just made that up and believed it until I found out no, a lot of people really do live like that 😕

A beaded version of the immaculate heart of Mary is in the center of it - a red heart with flames coming out the top, 3 pink roses across the front of it, and gold beaded edges. It has a cupid's arrow through it instead of the usual swords, and some dark red beaded "blood" dripping out of the exit wound.The center of this harness.

There was one singular person the Trump team wanted to kill. They thought they tracked him to his girlfriend’s place, presumably in a civilian apartment building in Sana’a. So they dropped bombs on the neighborhood and leveled the building. Reactions from the group: “amazing job” “Excellent” “👊🇺🇸💥”

“Most of the casualties in the US strikes were women and children, said Anees al-Asbahi, the spokesperson for the Houthi-run health ministry, on Sunday.
The Houthis' political bureau described the attacks as a "war crime". "Our Yemeni armed forces are fully prepared to respond to escalation with escalation," it said in a statement.
People in Sana'a said the strikes hit a building in a Houthi stronghold. A man who gave his name as Abdullah Yahia told Reuters: "The explosions were violent and shook the neighbourhood like an earthquake. They terrified our women and children."”
