Russia’s Black Sea oil lifeline is burning. The Tuapse refinery—critical to Moscow’s global fuel exports—has been hit again. Fires, toxic fallout, and a growing strategy to choke off war funding. This isn’t just a strike. It’s economic warfare in real time […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

9GW datacentre approved. I'm trying to get my head round the scale of this. The whole of the UK uses about 40GW of electricity. So this one facility is a quarter of the UK grid. In one location.

When a spambot follows me, I always go look at their profile before reporting. I want to see how many people they get by being an AI blonde with big boobs. The answer, mercifully, is always very close to 0.

Simply fighting back will send a bully into a fit of confusion and fear. This is why the redistricting fight was so effective. "But YOU aren't supposed to be like this. You always follow the rules and norms." Bullies count on us being more in love with our own moral standing than protecting […]

Bullies like to say that "might makes right" but they don't *really* want to live by those words. The entire meta of being a bully is based on targeting the weakest people to show that you *might* not follow the same rules as everyone else if you don't get your way. Your transgression, your […]

The pro-AI argument that “We can’t put the genie back in the bottle” ignores that we have invested our entire economy in wedging the bottle open. Your RAM is unaffordable to keep the bottle open. The US is at war with Iran to keep the bottle open. You lost your job to keep the bottle open […]

OTD in 1986 absolutely nothing happened in Chernobyl apart from a rapid, unplanned disassembly which resulted in the plant achieving its 10 year energy target in 2 nanoseconds according to the plan.

Karoline Leavitt said the first honest thing in her career right before the WHCD shooting incident. “THERE WILL BE SOME SHOTS FIRED TONIGHT IN THE ROOM. EVERYONE SHOULD TUNE IN. IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY GREAT.”

This is important. “More than 100 retired NASA astronauts have banded together to form a new nonpartisan organization…its members “believe deeply in the principles that have propelled our nation for 250 years,” such as the rule of law, checks and balances and the peaceful transition of power.”

The strongest song on Pixel Grip's album Percepticide is, of course, Stamina. But it's clear to me that the emotional core of Crow's Feast is the reason it's the first track. I read it as someone who the character thought was a friend, but just wanted to fuck her, then dug in to further […]

Replacing the Secretary of the Navy during an active wartime blockade with someone whose résumé includes warning that witches were overrunning a California community is… certainly a choice.

Well done, Virginia. Democrats, if you use this power to take down the corruption class, Democrats included, then we might start believing in you.

I voted for him because all other options were worse. I expected less than nothing, but that was better than another mayor who actively made things slowly worse. What if he's actually effective? Doesn't get distracted from just doing the job which is very thankless and doesn't pay as well and […]

I am also impressed with his affability and tact. He had not made anyone mad at him needlessly. There are people who hate him, but that's because they don't agree with his ideas and that's fine. Maybe he'll be a good mayor after all. He's much more competent than the last one. I will continue […]
