look it's very simple to define consciousness. it's the terrified oracle-thing that perches on top of all the stuff that really does the thinking and processing. sometimes the oracle-thing flips a switch and your mouth opens and words come out which are as much as surprise to you as anyone else.

Great piece from @ghostpanther.bsky.social. I was particularly struck by this graph, which contains so much information about the past five years in it.
" I asked the people at my nonprofit media studio, Yellow Dot, to create a graph with two data points: mentions of climate on U.S. broadcast news and recent spiking global warming numbers. And this is what they sent me"

The graph shows a steady decline of minutes on ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX since 2022 with the "temperature anomaly" rising from that period, only declining moderately from 2024 to 2025 (but well above the 2021 position)

some @pittsburghwater.bsky.social prehistory at Page’s 👀
THE PUMPING STATION
Built in 1894, the Becks Run Pumping Station in Baldwin Borough came to supply a large quantity of the area's drinking water, pulling up to 60 million gallons a day from the Monongahela River, providing water for over 290,000 customers in Allegheny and Washington counties. The old station was built at a time when treated drinking water was still a relatively new idea, as many had contracted typhoid fever from contaminated well and spring water. At the time, it was forecast with accuracy that the facility would improve the health of people in general, prevent families from wanting to relocate, and increase the property values withfn its territory. Until 1970, the station was powered from coal-fired boilers that ran steam pumps, receiving its coal from
the rail line above the station. After 1970, clean air regulations caused the switch
to electric power. The pumping station's long and fruitful life came to an end in
2012, when Pennsylvania American Water completed the new facility next door. in April of 2014, the old sagging yellow and brown brick building on East Carson
Street was torn down.

I find the story of Hegelochus unreasonably funny. Imagine dying and the only trace of you millennia later is the time you accidentally said you saw a weasel in a tragic play in front of a packed audience, because people mocked you about it for centuries. (Thread for ease)
