The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared
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.
you know what i love? those little mini-trailers before the trailer that tell you what trailer you're about to watch. we should add another layer, make mini-mini trailers with even shorter durations and faster cuts, to make sure we know what mini-trailer is coming up next
had a dream the other night about a demonic, monstrous, sentient pelican named Lauren Agnes. absolutely love the experience of having a human brain, a+ stuff in there

They do though. They _all_ know how to barricade themselves because school shooter drills were what the cops recommended instead of literally any kind of law enforcement that might prevent school shootings.
Lisa Fithian, a longtime activist and trainer for left-wing protesters whom the police called a “confirmed professional agitator,” worked alongside protesters who stormed Hamilton Hall at Columbia University Tuesday night, video footage captured by The New York Times shows.
Cops in America's biggest city are beating, stomping, gassing, and clubbing kids protesting a moral atrocity, to protect a university's money and property. That's happening right now. We're not the ones engaging in accelerationism. The fast track this country is on is to fascism, not communism.
I do think it’s really fucking weird that some social commentators are trying to find whatever reason to explain why protests are bad and students have shitty motives instead of just accepting that genocide is bad and people don’t like it.
I mean I’m just going to say that the idea that this is about fostering a safe and comfortable learning environment for all students seems kind of suspect
when our great grandkids learn about the collapse of *waves at everything around us*, this is the stuff they'll be zeroing in on, while we just sit here and let history wash over us

@xoxogossipgita.bsky.social i really like the idea of making yellow submarine beatles party in dd2 and then dubbing it over with yellow submarine audio but i am too lazy to execute this and don’t know anyone else to tell this to
Cool how if you want to install an ADA-mandated elevator inside a subway station you have to do years of community input and environmental reviews justifying it, but if you want to fill the same subway station with guys holding M16s doing constitutionally-dubious searches its just "i've got a hunch"
all these beautiful 4k walking in videos on youtube are doing to take on a new desperate and precious connotation when there is no more snow or outdoor plants
the Tyler Perry AI story seems amazing because his take seems to be "i am concerned this will result in a great many loss of jobs, because i saw its capabilities and immediately stopped creating jobs." i have a suggestion
