"The AI bubble isn’t a case of 'don’t like it, don’t use it.' It’s a systemic problem. These bozos do not care that they are working together to set the world on fire, they just have to keep the money flowing a bit longer." - David Gerard

AI power and water use is through the roof, and 80–90% is each query
There’s been a lot of discourse lately from AI boosters making excuses for AI’s ghastly power consumption. The reason you’re seeing these excuses now is because even the mainstream media is writing…

Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes. The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957. I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

All I'm saying is, if you ran a campaign on democracy being at stake and democracy lost, isn't it time to be massively freaking out instead of doing this

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Deciding you want to learn how to fly a plane is one thing. Raising the money and support to go to France to do it is another. But learning French in order to do so is next level. Cheers to the first Black woman who earned a license to fly! #Womenshistorymonth

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Sorry we’re not riding at dawn. We’re having coffee and catastrophizing the day at dawn. Then we’re doing Wordle. Then we’re doing 35 minutes of doomscrolling, then we’re taking the longest hottest shower, then we’re sitting on the edge of the bed staring at nothing for a while, THEN maybe we ride.

As a follow-up to this, if you detach a post and the person who quoted you then screenshots the post you detached and posts it, I think that person is probably a very fine candidate for a block.

Post saying "I don't say this lightly but whoever it was made the initial couch joke has quite possibly changed the course of American history." It's quote-posted by someone quoting E.B.

I'm so old I remember when free speech was defined as the right to speak truth to power. But in these days of Musk and Farage, free speech is defined as the right to beat up on the powerless.

The fact that Trump's attorney took a last minute "UH WAIT POLL THE JURY" swing reaching for ANYTHING and forced Trump to sit and listen to 12 people go "yeah no, he's guilty" one by one immediately after hearing 34 individual counts of "Guilty." That's some serotonin. That's some joy.
