90s scientists: “We cloned a sheep! We landed a robot on mars!” Scientists today: “Please stop drinking bleach and urine smoothies.”

Asking how people can partake in joyful acts during a period of immense suffering leads me to believe this is your first time at the suffering rodeo.

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

🎙️AI Resist List is a publicly accessible, collaboratively built website that champions projects that are fighting Big Tech’s vision of AI. We hear from @heidiheidilim.bsky.social about some of the inspiring projects from around the globe. Listen here: www.wortfm.org/resistance-t...

Wow! Iran left a thank you note in their locker room thanking LA for its hospitality during the World Cup. Be sure you read the last line: “May peace, respect, and friendship prevail among all nations.” (Source: Reuters)

This will end real fine.

If you needed more proof that the data center backlash is real and intense, @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social’s latest for the Heatmap Daily newsletter pretty much sums it up. Read all about our latest polling results here: heatmap.news/daily/data-c...

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

“.. We spotted nine Polymarket accounts .. who made collectively $2.4 million betting almost exclusively on U.S. Military operations. .. “.. Now, here is the crazy part. 98% win rates.” @mediaite.com www.mediaite.com/media/news/6...

I’m a millennial who works in software. I’ve seen the quiet AI backlash and disdain from younger coworkers. It’s quiet because their leadership is wildly zealous about AI and openly objecting to AI would put those young people’s jobs at risk.

This is the University of Central Florida. So many people really have no idea how much kids hate this shit.

I need a minor procedure done and my doctor gave me the choice between in office(longer recovery, more painful and worse results) vs in the OR(more expensive.) People being forced to make medical decisions based on insurance coverage is truly one of the worst things about America.

While we're talking percentages, let's talk about the proposed cuts to NASA's science budget. NASA is currently 0.36% of US federal spending. www.planetary.org/space-policy... The proposed budget cuts NASA science by 47%. NASA science is already on a shoestring, and that string is about to break

Happy National Library Week! 💙📚

"This is an important thing to think about."

If you're going to an AI-focused event at Climate Week, even if it's "critical", just think about if the organizers/speakers have money to gain from the AI boom. :)

I want to count how many SF climate week event pages are using "AI art"

Being “bad” at art is good, actually! My favorite excerpt from my appearance with @emilymbender.bsky.social on the @404media.co podcast with @samleecole.bsky.social in the episode “The Marketing Tricks of ‘Artificial Intelligence’”.

. It real funny how Congress keeps failing by the exact number of votes needed to not do a single damned thing. .

Personally don't recommend these. As the article notes, these properties are typically achieved through PFAS, which can shed carcinogens in your home (which you then inhale) or come out in the wash (polluting waterways for decades). Will try to do a thread on how to treat stains in the wash.

I'm at the deli. I'm at the central intelligence agency. I'm at the combination deli & cental intelligence agency.

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores. The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act. Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

Voters in a small Missouri town, unhappy with the city council’s approval of a $6B data center, ousted all four incumbent council members running for reelection

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

lol. lmao, even www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It’s coming into election season soon and it looks like liberals are gearing up for two years of “We can’t do that right now. Maybe some other time.” just like every election season.

Just wait until these eyesore monstrosities want to come to your neighborhood. Goodbye trees. Expect to hear a constant, electrical humming, warmer temperatures and higher energy bills. Fight like hell to keep data centers out of your area.

www.microsoft.com/en-us/micros... is it good to build an entire economy and software infrastructure on this

The great thing about wind energy is that nobody starts wars to control it. #EnergyRevolution

starts a brand new war and creates a brand new problem for absolutely no reason, lmfao

A word of caution.. expect the GOP to have many running as Dems this election. Make sure they are progressive and support the people!

Another look at the floor of the temperate rainforest of Vancouver Island. A fallen tree collects enough moss that ferns start to grow on it as well.

Now give us your money white suburban No Kings protesters! If you went to protests & went back to a nice house you own & car or two, it's time for you to put some of that expendable in broke people's pockets. Start with Black people & trans people. Mutual aid opportunities are online. DO IT NOW.

Big Tech must be crucified legally for their betrayal of America. No current CEO or any other complicit corporate executive should be able to escape such insidious treason with their freedom, careers or wealth intact. A scorched earth judicial crusade must be launched.

#Scotland runs temporarily fully on #windpower, generating over 200% of its electricity demand, a remarkable milestone offering a real glimpse into a future where fossil fuels may no longer be essential. #Renewables cheaper then #oilandgas offering independence from stock exchanges and #DoanldTrump

Cicadas are loud where I am north of the Bay Area. It's way way way too early for them to be out here and it feels like summer.

I beg “No Kings” Americans to discuss a general strike. Break your economy. You can’t be serious about ending this regime while you keep spending disposable income and propping up the economy as a consumer. You wanna break it? Stop buying new things. Repair things. Buy used. Don’t eat at chains.

"In immigration detention, he missed 4 out of 5 chemotherapy sessions scheduled in his fight against aggressive lymphoma. A scan last month showed the cancer had spread into his bone marrow. “I was in shock, seeing those little dots,” he said of the scan...” www.startribune.com/how-ice-deta...

if nothing else, there is something to be said for spending time outside in the sun with thousands of people who share your anger at the state of things

Walz: We will never leave the side of our Somali Minnesotans. Here's our pledge to you, our Somali Minnesotans, your great grandchildren will still be here when that orange clown is in the dustbin of history.

A global oil shortage better start convincing people real fast that green energy isn't just necessary for adressing the fight against climate change, but also necessary for economic stability and independance.

This is probably the least surprising piece of news ever.

In three months, Zohran Mamdani has: -Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by fast food and delivery companies -Cracked down on bad landlords -Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program -Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets This is what leadership looks like.

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

we’re not going to get anywhere until we stop letting companies pay millions in settlements instead of putting their leadership in fucking jail

Biden's energy secretary Granholm in a Linkedin post applauding AI companies working to load AI workloads onto our aging grid: "At CERAWeek 2026 this week, the atmosphere has shifted from 'How do we decarbonize?' to a much more urgent 'How do we plug in?'" what are we actually doing here guys
