yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

The qualities of the candidate often do not fucking matter if the people who really want that candidate to get elected are willing to play hardball, especially if the candidate is an incumbent. Maybe, just this once, we could learn this lesson from the GOP to save ourselves from true horror.

We watched a grieving father with a known stutter and a head cold have his dead son denigrated to his face. Then we still expected him to have a pristine debate performance, and are trying to punish him because he did not. I have lost a son. Let me be very clear.

If you would like to put your rage somewhere, may I suggest contacting the DNC/your state party (google "[state] democrats") and telling them you want the DNC to get back to work supporting down ballot candidates ASAP instead of talking about Biden. They have a form!

I have no faith in this coming to pass, but Tory ex-MPs should be completely rejected from light entertainment/reality shows, etc. No Strictly. No Jungle. No rehabilitation. None. They won't see real consequences for the death and suffering they've caused, so this should be the bare minimum.

- Labour's vote spread was way more efficient than under Corbyn. Brilliant groundgame - Tory vote was cannibilized by Reform - soft tories stayed at home, unlike with Corbyn - Labour will need to win back the votes lost due to terrible trans and gaza policies ALL THESE THINGS CAN BE TRUE AT ONCE

Something that's important to do now is WRITE TO YOUR MP. Particularly if they are new. Not a form letter or autogenerated one. An actual personal one. Not frothy. Just firm and clear. Ask them their views. When they respond, tell them how it aligns (or doesn't) to KEEP your vote.

It took 14 years to destroy Britain. It won’t be repaired in five minutes. It will take years of economic stability to afford the infrastructure repairs needed across a range of public services. While we’re waiting, we need to fight off the right wing. So roll your sleeves up.

A total of four seats for the Greens, up from one, and Lib Dems up a massive 61 from 8. There's a story there, and the story is there are people who are left-leaning, but cannot vote for labour with a clear conscience. (Climate change ignored and anti-trans rhetoric.)

God seriously when the BBC starts in saying “Starmer has pulled off something extraordinary here”. He has done well on party discipline and keeping his mouth shut. The Tories have lost it through a catastrophic series of unforced errors. God. We were all THERE. We’re here right now.

131 seats too many. 13 seats for the cardigan nazis is fucking contemptible. An terrifying. BUT If that exit poll is as accurate as they usually are then we're officially one step closer to the light. Drink, celebrate, sleep. Tomorrow go write your MP.

Happy to share the poster illustration I did for Gerald McMorrow's new short film EMBERS! ✨ It's an incredible short based on a story by Douglas Adams (that is in turn a retelling of the Sibylline Books), a fable about climate change, greed, and the consequences of our actions.
