Instead of watching the State of the Union, wife and I are gonna go see the movie *Send Help*. Too on the nose?

Breaking — Planned ICE concentration camp near Nashville canceled!!!!

In their description of AI as a collaborator, found myself thinking back to the work of Andy Clark and others on the extended mind thesis. global.oup.com/academic/pro...

Pathetically low, but at least moving in the right direction.

"Yet the largest act of mass murder of this decade, and of this century so far, was not perpetrated by militaries or militias, but by the world's richest man in Washington D.C.'s Eisenhower Executive Office Building." www.liberalcurrents.com/what-elon-ha...

"Especially as it builds out its “Rural-Super Rural” distribution network, Amazon’s logistics infrastructure is looking much more like a public good in private hands—a common carrier of the 21st century." Indeed. Let's regulate it like one. www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/the...

Well this one aged well!

Bodø fucking Glimt

I love this fucking city.

"It is hard to get your head around how stupendously large an electricity user a 2-5 gigawatt data center represents. A 5 gigawatt data center consumes on the order of 40 million megawatt-hours of electricity per year, as much electricity as the ENTIRE STATE of Nevada or Kansas!" - Jesse Jenkins

Excellent work from excellent team. And let's be sure to not bury the headlines here: coral reefs are GONE. Beyond 1.5°C we should expect >90% dead. North Atlantic currents very vulnerable at this temp. These are potentially v fast tipping points that could cause havoc with weather, farming. 1/5

Professional political scientist here. I give you permission to skip the State of the Union and actually spend your time on something else. Anything else.

The real question: why the fuck is the comptroller an elected position?

Good. It's called backbone. And the men's team is "showing their ass" by agreeing to celebrate at the White House after this jackass mocked the women's team. They are a national embarrassment now and they can go kick rocks. www.huffpost.com/entry/usa-wo...

Disgusting display by the US men's hockey team as they laugh along with a violent misogynist as he mocks the women's team. No solidarity among Olympians with these guys.

Huge win for workers! Every blue state should enact a similar ban immediately.

The delusion among the MAGA folks can be very high indeed.

Glad to see this. Benfica unfortunately continues to respond disgracefully. I rarely find myself rooting for Real Madrid, but I hope they fucking demolish these racist assholes. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

I just signed a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social petition: NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE: Cancel the Event Featuring Dr. Milton Saute of Sheba Medical Center, Tel Aviv, Israel . Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/no...

🚨The most important graph in the world has another year of data, and it doesn't look good!🚨 NASA CERES satellites measure how much sunlight Earth absorbs and how much heat is radiated back to space. The difference is heat accumulation, which has more than tripled!

The Trump administration is warehousing pregnant child rape victims in a Texas facility, away from adequate medical care, in a state with one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the US, so that these child rape victims won’t be able to get abortions. www.throughline.news/p/the-trump-

At some point we have to face the sad truth that this array of Administration miscreants are living their HS fantasies. Under what other circumstances would a group of athletes welcome this guy into a locker room celebration?

Video shows roads and neighbourhoods submerged by heavy flooding in Marawi City, southern Philippines. Local authorities have suspended classes and urged residents to avoid low areas and flood channels.

ok its not just e-bikes. electric three-wheelers have entered the chat! auto rickshaws in India., tuk-tuks in se asia...

That is the greatest name for a piece of legislation ever.

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

Already infighting amongst the robot working class.

I need a cigarette after that ending.

Republican strategy: inconvenience rich people a bit to get them to restore funding to terrorize poor people.

Israel has been dumping herbicides throughout southern Lebanon as part of a concerted ecocide campaign to render the region uninhabitable. This has been going on for months with Lebanese journalists & environmentalists regularly reporting on it. The BBC: we don’t know why the Israelis are doing it

The National Science Foundation’s entire budget is $10 billion.

I’d go further and just ban yachts outright, honestly. Force their owners to sell them and ban their further production.

Companies love claiming that their cloud storage, data analytics, info fusing isn't "surveillance" because it's not "collecting" data. This is not true. Filing cabinets were part of surveillance. Analysts reading and making sense of transcripts from hidden microphones were part of surveillance.
