Hi! Certified Data Center Technician Professional and Master HVAC Contractor here! Building data centers in warm places is stupid IMO. Lots of tech which is cost-effective and more environmentally friendly for use in cold environments. 1/

I keep seeing random flashes of “NO they’re PETIT BOURGEOISIE” being argued about various arguments, and look, I’m begging you to understand that we have to update our understanding of Marx for a modern economy.

Megyn Kelly would have trafficked Anne Frank

NARRATOR: It most certainly was the brain.

I think something that is kinda essential to understand: Having an opinion, your business. Make choices however you see fit for you. Having those opinions as a contrary act in someone else's feed is not a friendship making activity and no, they don't have to respect you and likely won't.

Jeeves (a valet) routinely prevented Bertie Wooster from wasting money, marrying badly, getting arrested, and making bad fashion choices. It could work.

At a certain point, people who have vast wealth need handlers to 1) stop it from becoming reality-distorting and 2) regulate them by overwhelming sentient force if necessary.

Nine years ago Mike Fitzgerald wrote up an extraordinarily fascinating breakdown of the differences between the Tom Stoppard shooting script and the original Jeffrey Boam draft of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. It's well worth your time: www.creativescreenwriting.com/indiana-jone...

Caias Ward, Certified Data Center Technician Professional here. You can make data centers that don't use all that fresh water. They won't because it costs more and the colder areas which would support it tend to have more worker rights.

BTW, if any of you happen to see The Hat Man, a good way to get him to stop bothering you is remind him that he owes me $300 and I've been asking for him. It's better if he comes to me because if I have to come to him it's gonna cost him a lot more than cash...

The same people who want you to hate Palestinians want you to hate transgender people too. And are not shy about denigrating a person's rabbinical credentials just because she happens to be transgender. She was ordained as a rabbi before she transitioned, fwiw, not that it changes her qualifications

ChatGPT’s signature writing style is everywhere now, and I hate it. It reminds me of when we tried mixing all the beverages at the soda fountain in middle school. We didn’t actually create the perfect drink, we just made a cloying monstrosity that lost everything good about its constituent parts.

When he strokes out dead on a live feed, his supporters will call it fake news. Nothing will convince them, not even his own corpse thrown at them.

We're on a publishing hiatus to let the team decompress after a whirlwind first month of Gavagai! We'll return to Editor Pick posts on Saturday. In the meantime, come on over and try your hand at our weekly microfiction contest The Gavagai 1000! #WritingCommunity #WriterSky #AmWriting gavagai.com

LLM-style AI is for people who want to be writers without writing and be artists without making art. These botlicking technosloppers will never understand the beauty, the frustration, the surprise, the catharsis, the revelation, the deep satisfaction and joy of creating real, human-made art.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Me about to piss off a bunch of capitalists: If Bezos doesn’t want to pay his fair share in corporate taxes, I don’t see why we shouldn’t nationalise Amazon and make it a subsidiary of the post office.

This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result. www.yesigiveafig.com/p/part-1-my-...

Did your parents vote for Trump? For Thanksgiving, enable this feature on their TV: Auto Motion Plus (Samsung) TruMotion (LG) Action Smoothing (Vizio) Motion Enhancement (Google TV / TCL) Smooth Motion Effect (LG) Picture Clarity (Samsung) MEMC (Others)

So many Judge Dredd movies with Karl Urban. A Kelvinverse Star Trek film. The last DCU film with Batfleck and SuperCavill vs. Darkseid. And they would release the Batgirl movie.

Watched the recent Shakespeare in the Park performance of Twelfth Night. Was good, especially Peter Dinklage as Malvolio.

Goes without saying but yeah yall, dont watch it, don't pirate it don't engage with it. This same shit happened with that god awful Velma show, people watched it to shit on it and they made more Just let the fucking thing die in the crib and give up the series Fuck the Terf Queen

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

donald trump endorsed zohran mamdani before chuck schumer lmao

In today's Editor Pick: a possession, an exorcism, and something far more complicated between them. It's Caias Ward's Gutter-Washed Favorites. Read it for free at gavagai.com

New story day!!! "Gutter-Washed Favorites" is a tale of a possessing demon and its drug-addicted host fighting to survive both heroin withdrawal and an exorcism. www.gavagai.com/posts/648

Oh, no, no, no, no. Hell, no. Aside from hackability, here's why this is a VERY bad idea: A cop (or cop impersonator) pulls you over, asks to see ID. You unlock your phone to access it and show it to them. They grab your unlocked phone and can now browse through it at will.

"IF I'M NOT ALLOWED TO STEAL, I AM RUINED!!!"

This is how rape culture and a patriarchy works. The loudest, most extroverted men get deference from the ones who prefer to avoid conflict and want to stay in the good graces of the bully. And the consequence is whatever the bullies want to do to women, it’s allowed through complicit silence.

Newbie writers, when you make that all-important first sale, and you have the contract in your hands, please copy and paste the following for your response letter: "No, you cannot have subsidiary rights." You can thank me later.

Pope Leo needs to speak Ex Cathedra about this nonsense.

Weird how many racists like to self-identify themselves as racists.

i've half-joked about how you aren't actually rich until you have "cancer money", or enough that you can pay for treatment *and* be out of work for however long *and* maintain your or your family's basic quality of life (ie, not having to liquidate core assets like your primary residence).

Relating to Spider-Man at 19: I too am underemployed, unsure how to pursue girls, and trying to find my place in the adult world. Relating to Galactus at 42: I am from an unrecognizable previous millennium, hungry all the time, everything hurts and I live with a tiny person who won’t do what I ask.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

Art Nouveau is when stuff looks like it was made by Elves. Art Deco is when stuff looks like it was made by Dwarves.

NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body." Even so, he said, “the cruelty that goes on that facility … must be 100 times worse." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

Dasha got dropped by Gersh! Fuentes, her guest! Dasha, cancelled!

A fascist worked out today. Did you?

Some inspiring words on cinema in the streaming era from the Pope. Yes, THAT Pope.

Bold to assume that these people had any strategy other than looting the country.

Open AI loses copyright case in Germany. Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

Kickstarter workers celebrate end to 42-day strike after securing four-day workweek, minimum salary, AI protections: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20...

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.
