Just remember: the fascists do not have to win. It is not inevitable.

and that's how Kamala Harris became president

a better idea for a blitz primary: ➡️ all potential candidates are drugged, pass out, and wake in a classroom on a remote island ➡️ each is randomly assigned a weapon and sent out one by one ➡️ every hour, a zone of the island is forbidden; staying there is fatal ➡️ last one standing is the nominee

Because people seem to not understand how "AI" uses so much water, here's a quick+dirty breakdown: The more data centers you have & the more traditional power you use, the more water you 1a) use To cool & 1b) lose, because they arent perfectly sealed systems, & 2) will need to boil to run turbines.

Remember when some of y'all got real mad at me for doing some back-of-the-napkin math about how much water "AI" likely uses, in light of the fact that they refuse to release their actual numbers? Anyway.

Feeling for everyone along the Texas Gulf Coast this weekend, and hoping for simple preparations and expedient evacuations for everyone who needs them. May your battery banks stay charged, your gas tanks full, your food and drink ample, and your precious beings safe.

Hey God, here's your opportunity to do something really, really funny
