Just announced: OpenAI plans to lease a 9.2 gigawatt 100% fossil-fuelled data centre on Ohio. Its emissions will be between 20 - 37 MTCO2-e - somewhere between the total grid emissions of France -> Netherlands As much GHGs as 9.5 average coal plants. Will raise US total emissions by 0.5%

i have absolutely fucking had it with 100% of all of this shit. gambling websites, lies, cryptocurrency, rampant corruption, lies, deep fakes, lies, plagiarism, devaluation of expertise, lies, bile, abuse, violence, bombs, genocides, lies, plutocrats, oligarchs, and lies. fucking enough. rules time

not polite to call some people stupid, but it is genuinely a party of stupid people

Transgressive art is important to make for posterity because fascists love to try to tell you people didn't used to be weird

I can guess the sexual predator they’re there to arrest.

Musk functionally ran the US government for 6 months last year and managed to: increase spending, slash services, kill 100,000s, and help nurture both Ebola & Screwworms. Yet somehow no one mentions this when they talk about the company he is going to take public this week.

get out of fucking government. i mean it! you've been in government for a decade. if you don't believe in the system, if you are this inherently distrustful of it, and in fact actively hostile to it, go away! you don't even believe in things like "evidence"? you're worthless

ah, I was wondering why the NYT was having a panic attack yesterday lol

for reference and comparison: conservatively, the United States spent two-thirds of that figure in the *first week* of the war on Iran. it's genuinely difficult to overstate how many world-historical own goals US politics has accumulated over the past few decades

“so what’s your take?” “the city of New York must pay me $1 million cash in the next hour and I will kill one person for every minute they are late” “100% disagree”

This is still America

the thing that’s been painfully obvious for years is that unchecked capital accumulation paired with gutting the social safety net and public goods was going to lead to commerce without customers. an economy built on consumption when no one has money to consume.

io: my joke is about knocking. knock knock. who's there? iggy: ? io: iggy, who's there? iggy: ... me? io: no (starting to cry a little) no i wanted it to be an owl who is there iggy: ok an owl is there! owl says don't cry! io: (delighted) don't cry who?!

"So, what's your take?" "This is the water, and this is the well. Drink full, and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within." "100% disagree."

He’s 100% right. If I were him, I would demand a trade to the Philadelphia Eagles tonight.

I honestly hate the concept of debating. I'm not interested in adversarial communication with someone who has already decided they lose something if they learn something.

There's an argument to be made that most mass shooters fall into this category, and if you look at it this way we've been under sustained violent attack by right wing terrorists for like 30 years, with the second Trump administration as its apex and ultimate victory.

CLOSE DELANEY HALL. CLOSE THEM ALL.

Ok this is a truly great tweet

For far too long, this country has been governed by people who were either unable or simply unwilling to post brief videos of themselves being bitten multiple times by snakes that they had just picked up for some reason,

The Fanatics (1955) by René Magritte

Analilia Mejia: "Inside Delaney Hall, I was able to speak to a woman who had a miscarriage - no postnatal care. There was a young pregnant woman gripping her stomach, no medical care, and a man who had such a tremendous head injury he lost hearing in one ear. The food is rotten or inadequate."

The next Dem President needs to just wipe this absurdity away. "Some random district court judge in Texas gets to act like a tyrannical king" is neither how the actual Constitution works nor a sensible common-sense adaptation of the Constitution's failings.

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

Can anyone point to a moment in American history where “Instead of prosecuting these people who violated the law to serve their own political ends I think they should face no consequences so we can heal our divided nation” didn’t make things worse

Billionaires must be targeted with tax policy and antitrust policy not because it helps everyone else (though it does) but because their political power must be limited so they can't wreck the world the way they're currently doing

Pedophilia is a plank of the Republican Party, a very real policy goal that they work towards on a consistent basis, from the President to the primary electorate. The Republican Party's countless exposed sexual predators simply represent the party's view, which is that children should be molested.

AI is the lynchpin of the whole political project. It’s the container for the parallel governance they have promised each other. I truly think that they are surprised that people don’t like it…and that they can’t yet wholesale punish everyone for not liking them.

it's cool that the president is trying to steal two billion dollars from my taxes to give to his pedophile friends and i'm supposed to like keep doing my job or whatever

In an unusual flight path, jet flies into World Trade Center.

"I ask all of you to think of it, graduates and families alike, let yourself dream of a future in which we can harness this amazing new technology to eliminate entry-level jobs entirely. Indeed, that work has already begun, and that future is now." /college kid booing intensifies "Wow okay,"

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

Art class should never stop being a thing. Like if right after our lunch breaks we all got to go down to the basement, throw on a smock and make collages out of old magazines while somebody's slightly witchy aunt tells us how great we're doing, I feel like we'd all be in a better place

the thing about the institutional apparatus of the dems is that it’s the biggest collection of losers we’ve seen in my lifetime. despite 2 governing trifectas in the last 18 years and the presidency for 12, they’ve overseen the return of segregationists and the end of bodily autonomy for women

A devastating story has come out about a US citizen child, Orlin, who was murdered after ICE deported his mom. This tragedy is an abject failure by ICE, and it’s why I will not give them another cent. We must stop the cruelty and lawlessness of this administration.

[phone unusable because of so many scam calls and texts, leaders from Chuck Schumer to Donald Trump hyping a UFO coverup] Why is this such a low trust society??

Sexual abuse of Palestinian detainees isn't some Kristof hallucination, it's been documented for years. No one is even attempting to refute this stuff, they're basically just saying that the allegations are so severe that they can't be true. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

yes. the clearest path to deal with the SCVA ruling is just to say that it wasn’t a constitutionally valid exercise of judicial review. because it wasn’t!

He’s offended because The Odyssey is about something near and dear to him: being an absent father while chasing vanity for 20 years

The reason people keep doing crimes for Trump is that you get rewarded for doing them, congratulations to Colorado's Dem governor for making sure we get more people trying to overturn elections on his behalf bsky.app/profile/kyle...

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.
