The constant refrain is that there is infinite demand for compute. But the only companies that ever seem to buy it are anthropic and OpenAI, two unprofitable and unsustainable ai companies propped up by hyperscalers bsky.app/profile/mlob...

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply

Artists at Silver Sprocket have released their statement. I've personally severed all ties to the publisher because my book had not been printed yet, but there are plenty of artists whose careers are more enmeshed. Please read the statement, share, and support. cartoonist.coop/sprocket-art...

USians, light up the lines, they gave you 14 days to speak up in defense of this site.

Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary—the main proponent of Utah’s massive, controversial data center—had told Fox News that the opponents were “proxies for the Chinese government.” Now he admits he made the whole thing up. www.sltrib.com/news/2026/06...

We don't have time to do another cycle of realizing this is an emergency only to let politicians forget about come winter. Soon enough we won't even have a season that doesn't have constant fires. Mark Carney and Danielle Smith and Doug Ford are actively accelerating this across the country

I am grabbing this opportunity to tell you to GO WATCH REDLINE IT'S GOOD It is bananas and fun and you WILL enjoy it

I endorse this message.

New: the highly controversial AI music generator Suno was hacked. The hacker sent us Suno source code; it shows the company scraped YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius. In all, Suno scraped *decades* worth of music from the internet. Obviously didn't pay artists www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

Thinking about this scene from the BLUES BROTHERS today for no particular reason.

new take: we can guess what the leo carlsson offer sheet means for the flyers and ducks, but it has much bigger implications for the rest of the NHL perfecttakes.beehiiv.com/p/offer-shee...

🚨 WE NEED YOU 🚨 As a new Prime Minister comes into power, we want to show that an overwhelming number of people support trans people, and want the government to take serious action to protect their rights. Will you say you stand with trans people? And share with everyone you know?

I don't know what possessed me to watch 'Come and See' (1985) tonight. The cries and wails recorded for the church scene are what nightmares are made of.

I know it's exhausting to keep seeing this stuff, but please understand that none of it will go away unless we stand up against it. And, more importantly, things WILL become exponentially worse if these sorts of bills are allowed to pass PLEASE reblog these posts and do your part to stop it NOW

If you want to know why both corporate Democrats and Republicans are freaking out about DSA on the TV, this is why. We’ve been living under a 50 year lie that good things are not possible in our politics and it only took six months in a major American city to show that it was a bipartisan scam.

🚨THE KIDS ACT IS AN INTERNET SURVEILLANCE BILL🚨 Congress is rushing the KIDS Act toward a vote. This blend of KOSA, the SCREEN Act, SAFE Bots, and other bills is a single package that is a threat to privacy and free expression for ALL internet users. 🧵(1/10)

In 2018, a famous lawyer won a $289M verdict for a man who got cancer after using Monsanto's glyphosate weedkiller for years. Today, that same lawyer works for Trump, who signed an EO expanding glyphosate production and whose DOJ defended Monsanto in court. His name? RFK Jr.

Must-read:

Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

I deleted my webcomic's site where i sold digital copies of my comics because someone did this to me more than once earlier this year and I had enough. Mind you, I was selling digital versions of my books for *next to nothing*. You're a real piece of shit if you do this to a small business.

i dunno I think sometimes people just enjoy talking to like minded people. do you do this kind of shit with your friends offline

There is going to be new movement on KOSA next week Contact your representatives and demand that they oppose KOSA and the KIDS Act www.congress.gov/members/find...

After ~7 days from burning my lips/tongue/mouth by eating a 🍕 slice too quickly out of the air fryer, I'm about 75% recovered. Eating solid food was very painful and making me sad that I couldn't enjoy my fiance's cooking without wincing 😭. Still got some pain from eating but it's a lot better today

I'm attending a digital humanities event in Montreal. There was a keynote on AI and something about the talk made me wonder if it had been written by Claude. I said as much in the Q&A. As I posed the question, the speaker shifted, looking slightly uncomfortable. What he said next shocked the room +

Daphy Michel, a 31-year-old Haitian asylum seeker, was found dead of hypothermia at a Pittsburgh bus stop on March 2, three days after being released from ICE custody 30 miles from her home. This week, the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s office ruled her death a homicide.
