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

Oh I want to, but I have to write about 7000 words today for a paper due tomorrow and I need to minimize how much space the songs are using in my working memory! I need the quickest solution to get them out so I can focus.

I have a ton of writing to do today and instead of thoughts about the chapter in my head I just have snippets of songs and I can't decide if putting those songs on will help clear my head or if it will reinforce their squatters' rights

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

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.

Our city and its suburbs have 20 *official* fireworks displays over the 8 days surrounding this ridiculous holiday, plus there's every house with their driveway fireworks. It is so beyond too much.

My most beloved nerds: who is the best person to talk to in the bioethics realm about privacy after death. As in: after you die, who has the right to know things about your body/health/biology? What protections exist and/or should exist?

Steve Bannon is in prison for contempt and Rudy Giuliani just lost his N.Y. law license, but John Roberts insists that invisible ink in the Constitution prevents Donald Trump, the ringleader, from facing charges for virtually anything that Trump can claim was an official act.

I know I mention this every time some notable fascism happens, but one simple way to help fight it is to to help people work around it. Buy a pack of these stickers for $20, or ask for a free pack if you don't have the money. Then stick them in public restrooms, etc

This is the ball game folks, the authoritarian green light laid out in advance. Congress will not impeach Trump. And SCOTUS now blesses him with extraordinary latitude to do whatever he wants in power. A second administration will not be constrained by Congress, the courts, the bureaucracy or law.

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?
