Small victories. The old project made the 500+ mile round trip to pick up a new project without any major issues. It was a great day for a drive through the Poconos.

Trump is not the cause of this. He’s the ugly malignancy that has grown out of a political party that lost its collective mind decades ago. Citizens who think of themselves as Christians or otherwise good people should consider who they are standing with when they vote Republican.

Let's make sure this stays a trend rather than an outlier. With rising electricity demand from data centers and the electrification of transportation and heating, there is definitely a risk of backsliding.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

What have we learned? We should support unions, they remind us we hold all the power We should vote on things that improve our lives, not things that hurt others, eventually they come for you too We should punish criminals We should Tax the Rich We should fight back, everyone who does, wins

Spoke to the Guardian about the idea of quitting LLMs for climate: -“I see this all as very much part of the tactic of trying to embed these systems into society and instil dependency in a fashion similar to the growth of single-use plastics in the 1970s.” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“Consumer software that generates text, images and videos are uniquely energy inefficient,” says Ketan Joshi, an Oslo-based climate analyst associated with the Australia Institute, due to the “vast datasets and computational strain of pattern-matching that happens underneath the hood”.

Asking an AI chatbot a question consumes a great deal more energy than finding the answer via simple web search or calculator. It adds extra demand for no good reason, he says, a bit like driving to the shops in an SUV instead of riding your bike.

“You might still get the shopping done, and that single trip alone may not even look all that bad in terms of cost or emissions, but what happens when that’s all of your trips, and when all of society starts doing this?”

This is a genuinely terrible idea which would damage the night sky & thus our ability to explore space (& also to just have, y'know, darkness & uncluttered skies), & would drastically increase the likelihood of catastrophic cascading collisions of various human-made space objects (Kessler Syndrome).

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The only thing I want to hear out of elected Dems mouths is that the President is building his own little palace of Versailles addition to the White House during the shutdown because the admin has decided that they can spend money that wasn't appropriated by Congress and not spend money that was.

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

Is there a term for people who seem to wilfully take the wrong message from the media they consume? I don't mean merely the media illiterate, who aren't engaging with what they consume beyond the surface level. I mean the ones who take the worst possible message from it.
