Losing my mind at this Murder, She Wrote promo

A city near Austin, TX wants to turn donated parkland into a datacenter. If you're nearby, join Louis Rossmann tomorrow in speaking your voice. consumerrights.wiki/index.php?ti...

In better news, John Oliver's three-day stint/stunt as a corporate villain on legendary soap opera "General Hospital" appears to be going... fucking brilliantly?? I have watched this clip on a loop for like 20 mins I really, truly need to see the full episodes NOW

This is the future y'all should want and I'll hear nothing to the contrary. Blooming nature Safe, non-road adjacent pedestrian/bicycle path A place that serves everyone of all ages and abilities This is the blueprint - use it.

I was at the gym and saw this broadcast show up and thought to myself "do they not realize they're literally creating the best advertising for DSA?"

Just remember, folks: - violent crime is down to historical lows - the root cause of most crime comes from a lack of housing & economic insecurity - those could be solved by any number of social programs - those programs are easily (over) funded by taxing the ever living fuck out of billionaires

Pipe the good news into the homes everywhere in the PNW. 😄

I want a future where our government leaders pose with infrastructure like this rather than highway expansion.

@mayorofseattle.bsky.social and @seattledot.bsky.social There is no reason this can’t be completed by the 4th of July.

I love the waterfront so much and the people who say "its not for locals,only tourists" are so unserious. before as a local you couldnt go to the waterfront because the sidewalks were too narrow and filled with tourists. Now I can walk along waterfront and eat home cooked dinner watching the sunset

labeling brownies as a bribe is the funniest way i've devised to put on a bake sale for charity

I should lobby to get roads removed whenever I don't see a car on them

i've never wanted a boxed wine bag full of capri sun so bad and you'd immediately hit the nostalgia market with a single chrome blob ad

anyone know where/how to build a bollard & pole so i can mount a streetlight?

Hi, I’m JER. I’m a queer Afro-punk artist. Last year, I dropped a record called ‘Death of the Heart’ I got a full band who helped me record the music and also tour! You can find all info and ways to support here! Shows, streaming, and ways to buy the music! linktr.ee/jer.band

Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

Channeled my inner Cooking with Heat fan and made a Veggie Lasagna for my friend's potluck that I thought would make @elliface.com and @joystiknik.space proud (lots of compliments, will ABSOLUTELY make it again)

I don't quite understand the folks responding to this by saying, "Yeah, it's not great but there are no alternatives." That's the point! Calling things out is the first step in fixing a problem. "It's bad, but what can anyone do about it?" is an example of motonormativity!

"I need AI art, otherwise I can't make my project." Randy Savage cut a promo with nothing but a coffee creamer he swiped from craft services. Stop making excuses and do better.

The best time to expand our bike infrastructure was decades ago. The second best time is now.

The only way I can possibly see fighting this is people building their own open source ALPR/facial rec mesh net, but only publicly discloses activity on every senator who isn't opposed and discards all other information. But even that's rife for abuse. (Did we not learn from Watch_Dogs' ctOS?)

This is what the "AI IS GOING TO REPLACE ALL HUMANS" headlines will look like 5 years from now.

Sabey Data Centers has scrapped their plans to expand in Seattle. Equinix and Prologis are the two remaining companies seeking to use 249 megawatts of electricity. Seattle council is working on a one-year data center moratorium after 83,000 have been sent to their offices.

Flock cameras have useful, modular electronic components in them, including: - Rechargeable lithium iion battery with solar panel - 5G LTE modem - 5MP 16mm camera with IR filter Plus various other components with precious metals that can be harvested for scrap.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

I'm gonna sound like one of those annoying jackass influencers but if you're seeing less activity from me on socials it's because the less I engage with them the better I feel as a human being. I look at you with my big beautiful eyes as I say the words; log off

I find myself routinely angered learning history and viewing the scope of opportunity every generation had to grasp problems like the energy crisis and just - fix it. Innovate, install & support renewable sources, enforce regulation that would have improved fuel efficiency - instead, they didn't.

If schools have money for AI, I'd rather they use that to pay teachers more

Reading books and touching grass

👍

One additional thing I'd note is that visitors increased 5.6% for the market while at the same time visitation for downtown Seattle was flat. Pike Place Market is outperforming the rest of downtown Seattle during the time period of the pedestrianization pilot 🤔

As people prepare to strike for May Day, we recommend this text comparing the last two general strikes that took place in Oakland, California (in 1946 and 2011) in order to distill lessons about how to organize a general strike today: crimethinc.com/twoGeneralSt...

Reminding everyone again:

remember folks - companies have no problem throwing millions (if not hundreds of millions) of dollars at shitty tech to try and not pay you to do a job so when they do come to you to do the job you could have done for a fraction of the cost they spent on stupid AI - your labor rate needs to go up.

some good hopeposting for y'all

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

A fascist worked out today, did you?™

oh gee, thanks outlook, for notifying me that i have a meeting that started 58 minutes ago that i'm currently in. so helpful. *slow clap*

this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built

YOU MUST MAINTAIN YOUR STRENGTH AND POWER! HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT.

@seattle.bikedis.co crosses the bridge about 115 strong, if you aren’t here you’re missing out tonight!

I guarantee that the first person to create a device that either jailbreaks or serves as a dummy activator so people can bypass the "smart" features/surveillance/subscriptions is going to be rich as all hell. (but seriously, let's please put in some consumer laws that prevent this shit)

This sounds like a job for @writnelson.bsky.social, as long as the chaos factor can reach 10,000%

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

"it rained the whole time. I'm sorry you missed the few weeks of good weather"
