Microsoft blaming the rising costs of computer components after spending $146 billion dollars on AI investments

Data centers are horrible for a thousand reasons — privacy, fascism, targeted propaganda, AI breaking human lives in multiple ways, etc. — but water use isn’t really as big of one as many people think. This one surprised me. Thanks @khill.bsky.social

Grace Lewis, the founder and face behind Crazy Korean Cooking, recreated the In-N-Out experience at her New Jersey home for her parents, who had never tried the chain before — right down to the drive-thru lane. Find the full story at the link below.

Today the city of Vallejo released a report confirming that a number of police officers were bending their badges whenever they shot at civilians. City officials fought hard to keep it hidden. @openvallejo.org Residents should demand that city and VPD officials answer for this scandal.

"Age verification means that *everyone* who does *anything* online will have to submit to fine-grained tracking and recording of *all* their online activities. This nightmare is the surveillance advertising industry's fondest dream, a world where it's literally *illegal* to avoid their tracking"

Watching this video on Father’s Day was rough. I’m glad I waited until after I already called him to exchange our usual sterile pleasantries. youtu.be/ImAlJ6oWzpQ?...

I used to support the death penalty. I still believe there are crimes for which death would be a justified punishment. The issue is that I do not believe the state is a trustworthy and flawless arbiter of justice. The death penalty is costly and morally wrong and should be abolished.

Stealing food is a death sentence in Mayor Lurie’s San Francisco.

I know very little about the world of fine foods, but a cheesemonger friend shared this post from a guy leaving the cheesemaking business and righteously burning bridges on the way out. I appreciate a good name-and-shame industry takedown. Check it out: www.cheeseprofessor.com/blog/why-i-l...

In 3 days in #Lisbon, I was properly addressed by every person I saw. Even the con artists hocking stuff on the streets called me miss or madam. This is over hundreds of both minor and longer interactions. It felt effortless for them. It made me forget for a few days that I’m at all different. 💖🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I’m in España, and it’s unbelievably refreshing to be someplace where it’s a normal thing to see and hear anti fascism everywhere I go, on every corner.

It’s June again and for the first time in at least fifteen years, I have seen zero complaints about “rainbow capitalism.” I remember telling people it was a mark of American acceptance to be a demographic to be marketed to. I warned we would miss it if it was ever gone.

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

"What if jobs being automated away isn't the universal bad, but that we need jobs to live in the first place is?" @hazelisonline.bsky.social nails it once again. #bullshitJobs #ai #workism

🚨"DON'T F**K WITH ME!"🚨 More unprovoked violence from ICE agents against peaceful protesters standing on public street continue to be on full display outside the Delaney Detention Center. WATCH LIVE ⬇️

This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.

media has so much power to normalize things, if we just had more films from the POV of women, boys would absolutely consider that normal I truly think the lack of POV media from women is why so many boys barely think we mentally function as humans today. What else could it even be?

Reassigning bad cops is like having a flat and rotating your tires.

A PAC active in lobbying against pro-worker state bills is turning to S.F., backing Alan Wong and Stephen Sherrill. The group was formed by McDonald’s franchisees who fought a CA law that raised the minimum wage for fast-food workers. by @junyaoyang.bsky.social missionlocal.org/2026/05/sf-s...

The corruption surrounding Trump’s “settlement” with the IRS is breathtaking: Nearly $2B to be disbursed to Trump’s allies, releasing Trump, his families & businesses from all tax liability & immunizing them from audits. There must be severe accountability for this strip-mining of the U.S. Treasury

Perfect for these bills to die on Bike to Wherever Day! 🎉🚲 Both bills would have increased barriers to riding e-bikes, criminalized riders, and reduced e-biking at a time we need to urgently replace car trips with biking.

MAYOR MAMDANI: Closes a $12B deficit, raises taxes on super rich, gets free childcare, funds libraries, fixes 100K+ potholes, wins millions for gig workers, fines corrupt landlords, builds office of deed theft, ensures historic lows in violent crime, & expands social services—all in 132 days. MAGA:

It may be a cheesy James Bond movie, but it may also be my favorite sentence. “Die another day.”

GM just paid a record penalty for breaking California privacy law General Motors agreed to pay California a $12 million civil penalty after selling driving data on hundreds of thousands of OnStar users

Based on my small sample size of my clientele, these things are happening culturally right now: - Straight women are DONE. With men, w/ marriage, w/ the patriarchy. - Fun hair color is back cuz they want something for them, not men (see ⬆️) - People are getting off their phones. Real books are back.
