We can either have the Earth or we can have capitalism, but we can't have both.
Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

Folks we all are guilty of armchair QBing campaigns but I think it's pretty uncontroversial to assert that a statement about a SCOTUS ruling that does not talk about either the ruling or SCOTUS is not how to play this.

In the analysis from CNN...on the CNN debate... Which is remarkably scary as a concept. A panelist is being leaked on in the studio and you can hear sirens outside where people's protests are... SCARY world.

In fact, everyone should watch the debate for one reason, you need a reminder of what America is. Vote Green/PSL, organize outside of electoralism, reject xenophobia and anti-communist Sinophobic propaganda. Would you vote for economic stability with a side of racism? Well, you are.

Every modern western CPU has hardware level backdoors. Intel has Management Engine, AMD and Snapdragon 8cx gen3 & Snapdragon X Elite have Microsoft Pluton "cloud-to-chip" security. To be honest I feel better with Chinese chips these days. RK3588 is surprisingly capable for many workloads.

Roughly 5-15% of your hourly or salary wage goes to directly funding Israel's military, or developing weapon systems, and maintaining that equipment. $1 of a $15/hr wage and 12k of an 80k salary. (Roughly)

Oklahoma passed a law that reduces sentences for people whose convictions stemmed from their abuse — despite prosecutors’ objections and an initial veto by the governor. Getting this passed in such a law-and-order state shows it can be done in any state.
