The comparison I heard was data centers using the same amount of water as golf courses, and for that I was all, my brother in Christ, let me tell you what I think we should do with golf courses

If they made Battlestar Galactica now it would be three episodes long and Colonel Tigh would be the hero

There needs to be more cyberpunk games set in Milwaukee or Duluth or Muskegon

if the options are no nose bleeds and abruptly crumpling or nose bleeds and no crumpling, I suppose I’ll take the nose bleeds

Ok, evening crew, don't let me down!

No. Fed. Posting. Direct action has a place and it is not on social networks. Don’t post about it. Don’t condone it. Don’t plan it on electronic devices.

Book 14 Rebel Girl - Kathleen Hanna Raw and at times difficult to listen to. Hanna takes a searing look at her life - the punk scene, the rapes, the losses, the fuck-ups, the growth, the illness, the hate and the love. It is not a gentle memoir, and Hanna has no issues calling out shit by name.

They’re Walter Cup champions, Marcus.

ahahahahahah *draws breath* AHAHAHA

Pre coffee take: using an LLM to do a first pass investigation of events and alerts means that when the analyst, jr or not, comes in to review and do their own work they are arriving with at least one full extra layer of bias in their decision making. IDS is already wrong often enough for everyone

I had the gall to open my windows to enjoy the lovely evening, and now I’m dying. Again. At least it’s not as bad as I felt this weekend

I don't think folks younger than 30 know what the internet once legitimately promised to be (and I would argue briefly was): a boundary-less space of pretty much uncommodified information and communication. A mix between community bulletin boards and university library stacks.

I've made so many, so it's difficult to choose just one, but I'm particularly proud of this one. (Note: my memes are created using traditional Photoshop NOT AI.) #StarTrek #MADMEN #NOMADMEN

"Matthew Lillard returns to voice Shaggy in an anime created at OLM—the primary Pokémon animation studio—where he and Scoob travel Japan and have run-ins with yokai" You ever read a pitch that you never knew you'd be down for until the moment it gets brought up to you

I’ll never get used to weather just blowing through so quickly, and I don’t want to

oh, there’s the storm we are promised yesterday

There are dozens of techniques and strategies that you can cobble together in a way that works for you to avoid getting bogged down so badly, but if you think that work is beneath you or anyone else, then you’re a fool of the highest order.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve completely changed my assessment on something or the way I was approaching my write up mid way through a first draft. I would be wrong so much more often if I didn’t do that work myself. I can’t imagine how I could learn or grow professionally without that work

If you think using an LLM to write a first draft of something is fine… then it’s already too late for you. The first draft is the most important part of the whole writing process. Yes, it can be impossibly hard to get yourself started on writing something out, but it’s a skill like everything else.

if you think doctors make bad patients, you’ve never seen a chronically ill athlete

Tip: if you have aging parent(s) whose repetitive stories feel like a trivial distraction while talking to them on the phone, use the call record function (easy on iOS, dunno about android) that way you’ve GOT the “story mom always tells” and you will alleviate your self-guilt for tuning in and out

The two types of anime fan are “As a rightist, I adore Gayqueer McTransmarx, a character I believe embodies conservative values,“ and “As a leftist, I’m a big fan of Hitlerhito Tokyonazi’s ’Manchuria Deserved It’ franchise.”

girl who refuses to admit or acknowledge that she’s chronically ill despite spending the last two days largely incapacitated by her chronic illness

Well, that makes at least two of us

the revolutionary war was fought because the crown kept trying to suppress a civil war the point of the treaty of paris of 1765 was to let the UK parliament wind down military commitments to the colonies, but bourgeois colonial land speculators kept selling selling native land
