Texas is running out of water, and the Greedy Few want to drain us even faster. Our aquifers are shrinking while billionaire tech corporations push massive AI data centers into communities already struggling with water shortages. We can't afford to let them drain Texas dry for another payday.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.
X post from AI industry insider Alvin Sng :

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.
Parenting hits different when you work in Al.

I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant: At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre. Everything in this cult can be traced back to that. (thread)

I have a lot of mixed feelings about Don Henley being the number one donor to a bunch of Texas down ballot candidates, but at the end of the day I guess I’m mostly happy Rosenthal, Goodwin, and Tucker got money.

Germany has such bizarre politics. I'm reminded of the massive celebration by German environmentalists for getting rid of all the nuclear plants in favor of brown coal plants. Their left seems so out of touch with reality it's unreal.

Hinojosa keeping that margin tight despite billionaires backing Abbott! Consider throwing her campaign a few bucks to get the message out there to more people? She's got what Texans want but they've got to hear it to know it's a possibility - that there's an alternative to Abbott. ginafortexas.com

In theory there may be people who obsess over “Zionists” controlling American politics who aren’t anti-Semites but at this point I pretty much assume anyone speaking this way is one step away at best from going full ZOG.

If you are on Facebook or instagram (this does not work on bluesky, sadly) there is an easy and free way you can donate money to New England animal shelters right now! Just post a photo of your pet with the hashtag #SNELovesPets. That's it. Subaru of New England does this every October. 💵
Screenshot of text that says "This October you can help animal shelters in New England raise thousands of dollars just by posting a picture of your pet! Something we all love to do anyway!

Every October Subaru of New England has their hashtag s n e Loves Pets campaign. During the whole month, every time someone posts a pet photo with the s n e loves pets hashtag , Subaru of New England will donate $10 (up to $75,000) to twelve New England animal shelters, including my local Vermont shelter the humane society of Chittenden County.

Please share your love of your pet and help shelter animals by posting photos of your little friends with the hashtag s n e loves pets this month!photo of my one-eyed black and white tuxedo cat marcel lying on his side on a beige velvet blanket, looking thoughtfully into the distance.

Amid an unusually competitive political landscape in Texas this midterm election, almost every Republican nominee for a statewide seat appears to be dodging debate invitations from their Democratic counterparts.
texastribune.org
Texas Republicans are refusing to debate for the election
The last U.S. Senate race in Texas to go without a debate was in 2000. Gov. Greg Abbott, meanwhile, debated his Democratic opponents in each of his last three campaigns.

interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

like I suspect many of you on This Website, I think a core reason why I find Eliezer Yudkowsky and his rationalist and effective altruist satellites so intensely annoying is because I had a VERY similar “being a super weird, pretentious, hyper-literate kid” experience - I just, you know, grew up.
