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.

I don’t want to sound glib, but if a woman actually wanted to “make up a crime to ruin a man’s reputation,” they’d pick one that people actually give a shit about, like hurting a dog or something.

Trumps economy is so dogshit that even the greasiest spoon breakfast joints are charging $4 for drip coffee; resulting in me consistently asking for at least one refill and a refill to go. Today at a cafe I asked for a warm up when my mug was half empty and was informed refills are $1 !!!

I believe fraternity hazing and military hazing and sports team hazing where men abuse each other is acclimating them into a broader culture of abuse where they will then believe it is their right to abuse other more vulnerable people. It’s so insidious. And that’s also why I think men defend it

At my college a freshman recruit literally died from falling down the stairs after being coerced into drinking too much. Some of his frat “brothers” put off calling the ambulance and by the time someone did it was too late. I often think about him and his poor family

Another thing about fraternities is that the hazing rituals where slightly older young men would physically, mentally emotionally and sometimes even sexually abuse slightly younger young men have always disturbed and upset me greatly. And it’s really telling that I’ve seen men defend those too

Correct: AI is a threat to humanity because it's the biggest hacking and mass surveillance system ever created. It partners with the military industrial complex to do war crimes and endless growth fuels pollution

Immigrants at the Florida detention center known as Alligator Alcatraz were kept in “small metal enclosures” for up to nearly two hours in what the DHS’s internal watchdog is calling a highly unusual and inhumane detention practice.

Alligator Alcatraz detainees were put in small cages, DHS watchdog report finds
The Florida facility’s staff referred to the enclosures as “calming areas.” Investigators said their use violated federal standards and did not align with “standards for humane treatment.”

"The Transformers do not endorse the views of the President" okay, great, yeah, it's very normal that you had to say that. This is an ordinary world where things make sense. It's normal that I'd wake up to an official statement from cartoon robots denouncing the man who has the nuclear codes.

If a Democratic policy even somewhat could connect to the death of a sympathetic young person, such as Laken Riley, Republicans would show no qualms about campaigning on it. Democrats should take note. This isn’t even tangential. Pierre Damas Bel’s death is what Stephen Miller wanted.

Drivers do not make these statements in good faith. This is not about actual financial contributions and costs. This is how drivers try to assert that roads are only for cars. The solution is not education, but infrastructure that takes space from cars and gives it to cyclists and pedestrians.
