This Needs to Happen…. Idea: a law that says if you’re going to build a data center, you have to also build enough solar panels to power it. We can call it the Bring Your Own Damn Grid Act.

Josh from @cardsagainsthumanity.com and I teamed up with 4 awesome artists (@theoatmeal.bsky.social , @boxbrown.bsky.social , @shing.bsky.social , and one anonymous artist) to make anti-ICE urinal stickers you can pee on. Get yours for free at PeeToMeltICE.com bsky.app/profile/peet...
A sticker that says "PEE TO MELT ICE" and then has a cartoon pic of an ICE agent with ICE on their chest and a hood/gaiter over their face. A cartoon dotted line of pee is splashing onto its head. Art by Shing Yin Khor. an ICE agent literally made of ice, which is melting, with a red arrow with "PEE 2 MELT" and a red arrow with "PEE HERE". The agent is wearing riot gear and a gaiter, and has drops of sweat/melt coming off of him as he melts into a puddle. Above him are the words “PEE TO MELT ICE”. Art by Brian “Box” Brown. A crying ICE agent with a cap and face gaiter, whose gun is melting and the muzzle is drooping down. His chest armor says ICE and above him are the words "PEE to MELT"A very rotund and hairy ICE agent in a gaiter and tank top and riot vest that says ICE and stars-and-stripes hat. Over him is a banner that says "PEE TO MELT", and he has the word ICE on him to complete the sentence. Art by Matthew Inman of The Oatmeal.

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

a sticker that says "PEE TO MELT ICE" and then has a cartoon pic of an ICE agent with ICE on their chest and a hood/gaiter over their face. The cartoon has a cartoon dotted line of pee splashing onto its head. A sheet of 8 urinal stickers, 2 of each kind, each saying "Pee to Melt ICE". The top one has a very rotund and hairy ICE agent in a tank top and riot vest and red and blue hat. The second one has a crying ICE agent with a cap and face gaiter, whose gun is melting and the muzzle is drooping down. The third one has an ICE agent with a hood and gaiter getting peed on with a dotted line and splash marks. The fourth one has an ICE agent literally made of ice, which is melting, with a red arrow with "PEE 2 MELT" and a red arrow with "PEE HERE".

No one says to legit business owners, "hey I see there's an underground market selling toxic knock-offs of your product: how will you incorporate the toxic product AND protect your customers against its harms?" But apparently it's fine to make this suggestion to educators with respect to AI.

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

A flock of turkeys walked through the meadow in my back yard, just their heads and necks visible above the grass. Looked like brontosauruses to me. The kids were not impressed

Yes! This is so important! Machine Learning is doing wonderful things like mapping Martian craters and analyzing microbe genomes. LLMs are a very specific form & it’s them doing these huge amounts of harm. I also sometimes say “Gen AI” when I mean both LLMs and art generators; I try to never say AI

I’ve never felt loss, myself. I have something new. It exists! It may not be good, but I made it. The switch from creating something purely from imagination to the hard work of fixing it into something good, that’s a new daunting challenge.

Either everyone gets human rights — or eventually only Party Members get human rights. Trans rights are human rights. Immigrant rights are human rights. Women’s rights are human rights. Anyone who won’t fight for them is on the wrong side.
