First sentence says it all: "Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed legislation that would have required data centers to report how much water they use." Read the rest of the story though. from @ianjames.bsky.social: www.latimes.com/environment/...

The whites are literally arguing it's literally *unconstitutional* if they're not OVERREPRESNTED in Congress.

It's raining and I'm so happy

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing. Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

Hello hello, it's my birthday today~🎉 I'd love to ask others to share my art around today!

Time magazine is owned by Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, who just came out as a Trump supporter and said it would be great if he sent the National Guard to invade San Francisco

I think what this otherwise interesting (read: depressing) article fails to look at is the issue of consent when using AI to lie about who they are in order to sleep with people. Excellent pun from Greg tho!

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

THESE are the promises I want to hear.

Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."

Great thread.

Man, last time this happened Billy Kaplan was in the running, dude’s not even showing up this time.

Jen, in response to the news: "Wow Marvel is fuckin up. It's a hard to be an X-Men fan. That's what I'm learning. Krakoa was the best and you've lost so much. See? I know things." Jen is so supportive 🥲

Short Thread... It's been a full week since DHS issued a press release claiming TEN CARS ambushed them—and have since: •charged ZERO of those alleged 10 drivers •arrested ZERO of those alleged 10 people •filed ZERO reports of alleged property damage, & •offered ZERO evidence of their claim 1/4

The country’s grid operator says shifting from coal to clean power is not only possible but inevitable. The work there could provide a road map for other countries.

The Imperial Boomerang, summarized:

They're talking about killing leftist activists. They're talking about murdering people organizing in defense of immigrant communities, doing mutual aid work, and protesting their violence. They are talking about murdering people like me and my friends. We must do more than acknowledge it's fascism.

There it is: $20 billion for Argentina at the same time they’re taking markets away from our farmers. But no $ for health insurance for Americans?

Once again, if your library has Hoopla, check to see if their plan includes TV shows and movies. If so, you'll have access to Acorn TV, MHz Choice, AMC and BritBox shows and more.

I found this map showing which states used Dominion Voting Machines in the 2024 race. With an election denier as the new owner of Dominion which is now Liberty vote, I definitely would advise all states to get out of their contract with them & find a new one.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

#xSpoilers Hey! If you skipped World of Revelation, you missed out on one of the best recent X-Men stories. Craig of NASA is a mayor!

While other states (and the federal government) defund education, this feels deeply important.

This..the "customer is always" needs to go the fuck away when dealing with these chuds, more develops top tell people like thsose to just fuck off when being bigoted etc

honestly, if I were a DC reporter, I'd ask him if, as a devout Christian, he thinks he'll go to hell for lying and for protecting a pedophile. And when he objects, I'll rephrase to ask how he reconciles his Christian faith with lying to the nation and protecting pedophiles

I'm sorry but it's just wild we are in the middle of a government shutdown and the House Republicans are REFUSING TO SHOW UP FOR WORK so they can protect billionaire pedophiles and billionaire tax breaks.

Exactly. I want Democratic leadership that are openly letting us know that if/when the clock turns, there will be Nuremberg Trials for the fascists that have taken control of this country.

There will be those who will once again council empty reconciliation with Republicans, on the grounds that “we need to be better than them.” But here’s the thing: we ARE better than them. Much better than them. Everyone is far far far better than them. That’s why they all need to go to prison.

I’m sure this is fine. abcnews.go.com/US/dominion-...

Powerful piece from @qasimrashid.com Summarises a number of issues: how much of corporate mainstream media has been a problem undermining democracy throughout the years; how Democrats as a party hasn't really represented their supporters; how progressive views are actually moderate and more...

So they're just going to trust Republicans. Didn't they also promise a vote to fund DC after the Big Ugly Bill stripped $1.1B in funding to the District? How did that go?

Eat my shorts.

I don't post a lot about media creators, but if you enjoy DC comics or fantasy stories, here are two of my favorite (Tiktok & YT) creators just chatting. @cmalongi.bsky.social & @thepandaredd.com Thanks for all the great vids & for sharing this insightful chat! youtu.be/uHMpXXf3S6s?...

here's another recent illustration for @wolf359project.bsky.social a dreamscape of horror - whats worse than the Borg?

Damnit, now I wanna do a Gilmore Girls rewatch.

Thief says asking permission before he steals your jewelry would “kill” the burglar industry.

hi, cis folks in california! this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out. he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841 want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

a few years ago i sincerely believed it to be the duty of artists to take these tools and show the world how to use them humanely and respectfully. i don’t believe that any more. every time i have tried i have left the experience frustrated and angry…

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat. Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.
