This was foreseeable. In 2000, when gasoline prices hit a record, California recommended several steps it could have taken to lessen dependence on foreign oil sources. The state didn't act. Full story here: capitalandmain.com/as-prices-cl...

NEW STORY! As a heat wave hit the West and the price of a gasoline gallon rose sharply, California faced the pain of dependence on climate-warming oil priced by the global market. As refineries close, the state is getting a lifeline from a surprising source: Fuel imports made from Russian oil. 🧵:

“Why does everything have to be political?” because we are living and breathing you idiots!

I hope someone has archived the strokes performance cause they’re already taking down clips on X.

How do I start a glossy magazine without a trust fund?

I believe we are at the beginning of the END of digital supremacy. Move accordingly.

Making radical art that is also just good and enjoyable for the audience outside of its political message is a skill that is hard to do.

The way writers have just gone a long with the narrative that you should need a day job to be able to do this work instead of saying we need to fight for better pay is such bullshit.

@proton.me baby, I need you to get that darkmode going for docs.

For The Nation, I wrote about the death of OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

The Pitt but it’s just being a toddler parent with two geriatric spoiled dogs.

I was on a train going to the park with my family and the train had to stop and wait because there was police action at the next stop. When we past through all I could see was dozens of cops and police cars. Spectacle it is.

Shopping at Trader Joe’s feels like playing Russian roulette

Would it be possible to just embed some code in digital writing and art that communicates to a LLM not scrape your work? Or at the least has like a poison pill?

This article is evidence that we did not gatekeep enough

There’s something to be said about the US threatening nuclear strike against another nation and Americans are focus on what’s happening in space.

"Fairy Dust and Toxic Waste" New zine that came about from the desire to have a critique of "AI" to table that goes beyond the surface level environmental impact. Take a look and let me know what you think. Please share anywhere/with anyone who might find it useful: cryptpad.fr/file/#/2/fil...

NEW STORY! In 2023 @gavinnewsom.bsky.social stood on a vast landscape in Imperial Valley, declaring California's lithium revolution had arrived. But now the plans are mired by fighting, the feds are trying to kill renewables, and AI, not EVs, reigns. What's next? capitalandmain.com/newsom-promi...

Newsom understands that people are just getting clips of media from their bubbles so he feeds each bubble what they need to hear with clips.

the left has been saying “bring the war home” for years, the right actually did it.

Central Israel after a strike by Iranian ballistic missiles 👇

Using interviews, satellite imagery and atmospheric modelling, we reconstructed how smoke from strikes on oil infrastructure spread across Tehran. The plume extended across much of the city. Investigation by @baydoun.nl, @ntabrizy.bsky.social, @wammezz.bsky.social, and myself.

I’m sad we didn’t get a full winter. Very scared about what this means for the next coming months. 90+ degree weather in the middle of March while they’re blowing up oil and gas lines in the Middle East feels quite depressing.

I dont think that dude over there got merked. I think the truth is that he’s using AI to cover that he’s hiding in a bunker somewhere as the rest of his people dodge missiles.

The reason why some aren’t getting the critiques on OBAA including liberal Black women is because unless you’ve actually been in these streets like that, risked jail time like that, and had comrades like that you can never understand how offensive his caricature of the movement is

Mourn the children. The elders who couldn’t run out of a building. The newborns inhaling toxic hydrocarbons. The birds killed by acid rain. The war makers must be held to account. If they are not, we will be trapped in a world that is a playground for despots. kandist.substack.com/p/building-a...
