These print books are scanned for the AI to digest then often pulped-destroyed to feed the machines. Feeding out of print and specialty books to a machine that plagiarizes and destroys them so the plagiarism is less glaring is quite the choice. www.404media.co/ai-companies...

I bet they justify it with "it's heritage, not hate", too! nowiknow.beehiiv.com/p/a-hateful-...

This is why it's so important to film these goons! "Acting Director Todd Lyons said that only 3,000 of ICE’s 13,000 officers wore body cams. ICE was avoiding compliance with the policy by simply not ordering many body cams" open.substack.com/pub/populari...

New reporting has raised additional questions about the background of ICE officer David Brouillette, who murdered Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero.

Gov. Andy Beshear must immediately go on the effin' offense, call a special election, and force a *public* proof of life of Mitch McConnell.

"I think California transplants like Ken Paxton can become Texans"

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

It's hard to keep track of other people's online activity, but it's harder to plan a thirteen year.olds funeral. At minimum, teach them that nudes are never a good idea and the Internet is forever. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Remember when we said wages should keep pace with inflation and they said, "If you pay fast food workers more they'll have to raise prices by, like $2. No one will pay that!" And now, here we are, paying more while fast food workers still struggle. It was NEVER about us. It was always about profit!

This shit with Taylor Farms is exactly what I’m talking about when I say you may say you “don’t do politics,“ but politics are more than happy to do you. The microbes political bribes got out the door and into your intestines don’t particularly care that you find it all beneath you.

If they can build a data center overnight, then they can install a solar farm overnight.

Today on "What's MY Excuse?" we have a lady who proves you really can do anything if you're determined enough! youtube.com/shorts/fpZt8...

Billionaires are poisoning us with their data centres, the same data centres that are used for mass surveillance and committing war crimes. We don't need grok, we don't need chatgpt or more biased ai. We need libraries and community centres Deport musk to mars

In a sane world there would be International Arrest Warrants naming every Oil, Gas & Coal billionaire for climate crimes against humanity not governments allowing more drilling kowtowing to billionaire greed aiding and abetting millions of heatstroke, wildfire, drought, hurricane, flood deaths

ICE is hiring violent, mentally ill wife-beaters and handing them guns and badges. But a fast casual dining chain recently sent me a flyer about its “plant-based” menu. I have never felt more politically homeless.

"The frightened person does not smile." -Dr Fritz Perls Uh, there is so much wrong with this statement. For a cisgender man to proclaim this, damn. His entire session with Gloria made my skin crawl. There is an entire body of scholarly work dedicated to why women smile when they're afraid.

Why can’t Gov Andy Beshear just appoint a new Senator to replace Mitch McConnell unless they provide proof of life? Just appoint someone and have the GOP fight it after like they do to Dems.

Opinion | It’s sad to see young people wasting their money on lattes and avocado toast instead of giving it to the president to receive advance warning that he’s about to manipulate the stock market.

Show me a photo of you in the 90s. There’s a great story behind that necklace I’m wearing. It was a gift from Gwar.

Further proof that we need to liberate the good people of Russia from their horrible tyrant overlord...as soon as we get rid of ours.

Two LA Sheriffs bomb squad deputies incorrectly concluded that a grenade recovered in Santa Monica was inert, transported it in personal vehicles instead of a bomb truck, kept it overnight at a private residence and later brought it to the training center where it exploded, killing them and Lemus.

Odd, that stupid Donald Trump is in a snit with Canada over air quality when he has dismantled the EPA, promoted burning coal, and pulled out of climate change accords, guaranteeing air quality issues *worldwide* for not just this summer, but maybe FOREVER. What a colossal Idiot.

LEFT: Canadians helping by dropping water on United States fires. RIGHT: Ungrateful United States bitch complaining about Canadian fires.

Kinda explains the Putin red carpet treatment....huh?...🤔🤔🤔

Beyond absurd. A budget is a moral document.

Taco Bell was one of the first companies to sign the "Yes, we WILL only buy tomatoes from farms that stop doing slavery" pledge with Coalition of Immokalee Workers. @immokaleeworkers.bsky.social

“Solar farms just get wrecked by hail, they’re useless!” ME: New solar panels have been invented and successfully tested that automatically fold up when hail, snow or otherwise strong storm approaches. This drastically reduces any damage from said storms.

Comment period for this project closes July 30, 2026.

This would probably be an ideal time to have a Legislative Branch that worked and provided checks and balances on an insane, incompetent, reckless, and rapidly deteriorating Executive Branch.

Mamdani's critics in one screenshot, lol

Despite Russian interference to help him win it, no less! The other things he was *trying* to do, but losing an election he did his best to rig by conspiring with a hostile enemy government? That REALLY sticks in his craw!

Just be grateful for Donarrhea's astonishing incompetence.

People who keep pointing out that golf courses use as much water as data centres as some sort of defence of data centres drastically underestimate the amount we also hate golf.

Vote with your dollars. It's the only vote you can be sure will have an impact these days.

“Someone should invent a high tech self-replicating machine that uses solar energy to remove carbon from the air and turn it into a sustainable building material. Oh wait, that’s what trees are.” (Surveee) Alaska is home to two of the nation’s largest national forests: the Chugach and Tongass :-)}
