A farmer in Texas donated his land to a town to be turned into a public park. After he died, the city took the land and sold it for $10 million to a company building a data center www.404media.co/a-farmer-don...

your regular reminder that the national shoplifting crisis was a manufactured moral panic largely engineered by corporations in order to cover up their own mismanagement — and that wage theft is the largest category of theft in the U.S.

they will do anything and everything to protect their neoliberal worldview. it's obviously pathological

is this why the data centers are a thing

Now you can keep track of how many billions the AI companies are losing on AI. (Red is spending, green is revenue.) isaiprofitable.com

On my husband's first full day in the US, he pointed to an object & asked it's purpose. I explained the workings of the thing, a parking meter, and he said "you have to pay for time?!?" I was the original 90 day fiancee, decades ago before it was cool.

Went to an anti AI datacentre protest march today and a friend of mine got a picture that summed it all up

Laurie Wimmer (on behalf of the Northwest Oregon Labor Council) is supporting the amendment to defund the police accountability commission. Wimmer continues to advocate for the interests of the Portland Police Association even though they aren’t members of the labor council.

3. Last but not least, Trump has already made it easier to. well. low-key hold farm workers in slavery. (He ended a lot of DOL regs meant to stop human trafficking orgs & farmers from collabing to hold people captive on farms. e.g., antislavery provisions.) Did a video on that too.

Hi! I'm a farmer! This NYT article is sweet, saccharine bullshit. Farmers knew Trump was going to hurt our business. Because he already did a trade war in his 1st term. I even did a video on why so many farmers support Trump, WHILE knowing he'd hurt our farms.

These folks are nice enough to show all of us their faces so we know exactly who wants to hand over public money to a billionaire in a backroom, NDA-protected deal during a year where we have a city budget shortfall of over 100 million dollars and schools are being shuttered.

this is something I hear very frequently: people desperately want this language and know they need it

Finally something that resonates. The answer to the calcification of establishment/centrist/moderate (whatever you want to call them) democrats in Oregon is not.. more of them. It's socialists.

also here is a frog for my friend @koriander.bsky.social

baby got new shoes today! it’s only been, what, 20 years? can’t wait to actually ride a bit again

occurs to me that gerrymandering is basically bureaucratic electoral dishonesty

as it becomes clear that Yes has won in VA and gerrymandering will pass, a message to Republican voters: you brought this on yourselves you convinced the most fairness-obsessed, That Wouldn’t Be Fair-minded voters in the country to affirmatively vote to put you in the dumpster you earned this

Must read piece on this wild stat: More than 400 day cares in Oklahoma have gone out of business since November. Don't miss the parents sending their kid to live in a different state b/c they don't have care. It's past time for universal childcare! www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/u...

Most food consumed in the US is already produced here. We were a net ag exporter for 60 years & only since 2019 net importer, bc we like access to tropical products & off-season produce. Also, we waste ~40% of the food we produce, and use the majority of our corn & soy for animal feed and biofuels.

Hours ahead of a Monday night meeting where the Lansing City Council was expected to vote on rezoning land for a data center, one council member says the project will not be moving forward. From @kdavidsonjrn.bsky.social

The only skill our system rewards is the ability to fundraise and run a re-election campaign. Doing politics is uncorrelated from those as a skill

I swear I understand more about ergonomics and human tool development than ever now. So many tools are designed to minimize movements and actions that are difficult, tiring, or damaging to the body. And almost none of them are useful to me these days. I feel like I live in a tool-less world

I have just managed to make a pyrex baking dish explode, sorry I didn't get you a picture, but I can assure you it was spectacular and my kitchen was more or less covered with glass and duck fat for a while there. good times
