There was a hawk sitting in the neighbor's yard as I drove past on the way home. Its wings were spread for balance. I looked a little closer and it had a squirrel pinned to the ground. Dinner time, I guess. 😂

"Can I help you?" the magic shop proprietor asked. "What swords do you have?" "Only one, today. This is 'Hyvla', the sharpest sword ever made." "Any conditions on it?" "Before sheathing, the blade must be quenched in porridge or it will dull." "That's inconvenient." "I also have this pot..."

If you're willing to sell out trans kids for theoretical votes I have to assume you'd sell out anyone for theoretical votes, so, yes, I do think supporting sports bans means you get not a fucking thing from me.

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.

if you're writing horror, don't forget to explicitly spell out over and over again that the scary creature is a metaphor for the protagonist's mental state. readers will never work this out for themselves otherwise

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes

A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

I have these And I need to start posting them soon :3 #TWM #TLM #TGM #Sterling #RobotArt

3 images of a robot, full bodied, starting with a yellow and silver (and black) robot looking to be wearing something like construction helmet. He then becomes black, and then looks a bit more human.

Text beside him reads: STERLING. FLC0776. He/him
For his size and strength Sterling may come across as a bit of a cruiser, but ultimately, he just enjoys creating over destroying. Ask for help, and he's there to do anything he can to help you, no matter what the project might be. He is surprisingly sweet and soft for a construction robot. With a strong chassis meant to withstand powerful hits, Laborbots have a short shelf life and seldom go anomalous, but with a little upgrading and TLC, Sterling is even better than new.

The FLC0776 labor android series boasts unparalleled control and accuracy from our foreman models that you’ve come to know and trust from Cyberdynelife! Enjoy complete independent work from the ground up with a solar powered 4-machine self-contained crew. Discontinued model. FLC0777 coming soon!

So this week we've learned: 1) The AI goons CONFESSED they were committing the biggest theft in history. 2) The data centers really are sucking up all the energy during an energy shock. 3) AI almost caused a World War.
