Tomorrow I will be traveling to a nation famous for its music, cigars, and classic cars. I’m not sure what the electricity/Internet situation will be. My husband has been able to contact me most days on WhatsApp. If I can access Bluesky there, I will post.

OpenAI Announces Construction Of New Data Center On Top Of Sick Child

Honestly I was surprised it took 15 months for this to come out publicly.

This woman adopted this 20-year-old cat from a shelter because she didn't want him to spend the end of his life alone in a cage. Original post

600 000. Not 6 000. Not 60 000. 600 000 premature deaths a year as a result of burning fossil fuels. And that’s only in Europe. Let that sink in.

I’m curious how the NYT thinks his statement sounds to supporters. Because most of them deny he said it or meant it. Which tells me, due to the simple nature of English sentence construction, that it sounds out of touch to them as well.

The Epstein files changed me forever. I read them in painstaking detail over months, realizing in real time that we are not ruled by laws equally applied. We are ruled by wealth, access, and protection networks. America is a syndicate. I’ll never get over it, so don’t ask me to.

I know the Bluesky trends are bad news, but I'm celebrating because none of them are sports.

Wait. What? Kars 4 Kids exposed as a fraudulent “charity” that does not benefit local disadvantaged kids. Or Canadian kids. Benefits to any kids is negligible. California has banned the ads. Canada should do the same! The money is going to New Jersey, New York to the organization Oorah.

I had about three days of my wisteria perfuming my yard before my mountain ash (sorbus) bloomed, which smells like a women's dorm bathroom when everyone's period is in sync. The combination of smells is revolting. #gardening

Help Mohammed with his sick girl!

If they were at the other march in London today, the pro-Palestine one, they would be immediately arrested. This makes no sense.

Moving into the American healthcare system from Canada, the biggest glaring difference I’ve noticed is the number of amputations performed, often with very little attempt made to save the limb. Almost always in low income diabetic patients. And I almost never see anyone with prosthetic devices

My current earworm is from a Korean show on Netflix. Its first line is "Don't you worry; I'm inhaling." And because of this, someone bad at transliteration called the song "Hailey" in English. www.youtube.com/watch?v=40Uy...

Annie’s cheesy organic ravioli is really awful if you’ve tasted any other kind of ravioli.

DEAR RESTAURANTS: Your servers are not volunteers. If you can't afford to pay them more than 2.13% of what you charge, you can't afford to run a business. Thank you!

Rep. Ralph Norman: "Jim Clyburn, I like him personally, but he does not represent the rest of South Carolina, which is conservative. His district is close to 47% African American."

I just found out about Tsarist Russia's Circassian genocide, the largest of the 19th century, done, in part, to champion Eastern Orthodoxy against non-Christian inhabitants in its territories. Killed about 1.5 million Circassians; only 3% remained. Christians are so violent.

wow.

ICE has successfully gone months without killing anyone in Minnesota. But instead of celebrating that, the TDS media just wants to report on fuel prices and the cost of the Iran war. by Hugh Hewitt

the only things that can beat people power are a judge who loves a technicality and a democrat in office who thinks that counts as a substantive reason to not protect democracy

I put on a compression shirt and compression shorts today (over leggings and another shirt bc I'm allergic to synthetics). They are not comfortable, but they are more comfortable than back pain. Wouldn't be able to wear them in hot weather, though.

So theoretically "JD Vance" is a trending topic, but if you click on that rend, you will find almost nothing about JD Vance and a lot about British politics.

Dear @theactionnetwork.bsky.social I see you had no opt out feature. I trust that I will not have subscribe to dozens of mailing lists by signing this I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Tell Your Senators: No War on Cuba!. www.codepink.org/actcuba?sour...

Why am I still getting #ActionNetwork spam from an account I blocked?

Regard the mighty oaks and their damnable pollen.

So I finished Henry James's The Bostonians, and still can't get a handle on him. His main male character thinks suffragists are shrill and ridiculous. The ingenue he desires has extraordinary public speaking gifts, but he believes women should have no role in public life and all

Appearing on Israel’s ‘Channel 7’, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich joked about his son asking him to make sure there would be enough of Lebanon left for him to destroy.
