It's a good time to randomly text someone a link to chicken.pics. Especially anyone bumming themselves out with doom scrolling. Contemplate how unaware chickens are of human politics. Visit the chickens. Be with them. They are your friends. Except for the one who is your sworn enemy.

lmao, they’re running from *threads*? PG-rated twitter? twitter for people who can’t fight? lol

Wow. @nytimes.com has closed their Threads account and left the platform after days of getting just shredded in the replies for their handling of Biden post debate. Now they're getting dog piled on Instagram for running from Threads.

I'm sure we'll see just as many stories about the historic drop in homicides as we saw about the blip upwards at the end of the Trump years

And speaking of Baltimore, I'm sure my followers are waiting on pins and needles for my latest update on our astonishing fall in homicides. The wait is over! 😏

one of our great cultural failings in the modernist pursuit of metrology is the failure to recognize the value and joy in artistic expression.

This is the problem with The Omnicause even when you're sincere; every individual cause gets a _very_ surface-level treatment and pivots like this (to whatever argument is most emotionally satisfying) are _really_ common.

Stephen Miller now following Trump's lead and saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 1. His organization is on the Project 2025 advisory board. 2. He recorded a video as part of Project 2025 training tools 3. You can see Mandate for Leadership, the Project 2025 publication in the background

Did something else happen in the past 5 years that massively increased demand for cloud services? No? No massive increase in video conferencing, online ordering, etc? Those increases are a) modest compared to the US's overall climate emissions and b) not all due to "AI"

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.

There's a lot to be freaked out about, but that's not a good place to make decisions or interpretations of reality from. Also reality being actually scary is compatable with everyone on here being primed to freak out. bsky.app/profile/tznk...

Depression is sometimes misunderstood, including by the depressed, as being sad when you don't have a reason to be. And it's more like you're predisposed to be sad (or anhedonic, or or or) so normal triggers are worse for you. It seems weirdo neuroticism in political hobbyists works the same way.

i could have argued here but instead i drove 600 miles

Zeke, why do you think accelerationism is bad? Well it's funny you should ask

it’s neither here nor there as far as a trait to be emulated, but i always think about how joffre was unfailingly militant about his dining and sleep schedule, even during the great retreat, which would (and should!) have spooked the shit out of any normal commander

my hot take is that the president should be and live like a normal human, and so I reject the premise that the president must work 130 hour weeks and never be well-rested. he has dozens of staffers who can cover shifts!

yeah she's a brick (bana now now) hooooouuuuuuuse (chika ow now) mighty mighty lettin it all hang out
