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.

Despite his maga hat being black instead of red, the wearer was laughed about heartily by others in line to visit the Getty Center today.

If you're looking for a test because you may be contagious no worries just let us know, hang out outside the store, and we can yeet one at you while you yeet a rolled up $10 bill at us. This is why we made them exactly $10 including tax (also that's literally how much it costs us to get them).

We've heard from many community members that COVID rapid tests are hard to find (and when they can find them at drugstores it's like $20 a test) so we're experimenting with carrying COVID tests and selling them at cost: $5 per test including tax (tho each pack has 2 tests so it's $10).

I don't know, maybe stop fucking employees, barely-legal fans, and students, as issues of consent are always going to be extremely problematic in these situations at the best of times. Not that there's ever actual consequences, which is why guys keep doing it, but jesus. C'mon. Be an adult.

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders.

Fascism needs its enemies fighting each other, threatening each other with it, propping it up to bludgeon each other with. The last thing a fascist wants is the white moderate to tell the communist "ok I still hate you but first we're gonna have to beat this nazi to death with a hammer"

There's much about his work and his contributions to culture and support of other artists I have admired and respected. Over time there have been several things that looked to me like yellow flags. Always an icky feeling when that is validated.

I swear I saw a mention of allegations against him 3+ years ago, and then nothing. Zero. Silence. So I've been wondering whether I imagined it, but I knew if I hadn't that it would show up again. Sigh.

Not for nothing but the big 4th of July carnival was tonight, and in the reddest rural district in Maryland, two days after their guy was given unconditional immunity by his hand-picked judges, after a week of coordinated effort by NYT to undermine his opposition, there was not a MAGA hat in sight.

Okay folks. In the absence of my eventual guide to alt text for images of text on social media, a reminder: Do not put URLs (aka links to webpages) in alt text. They don't work and they will often get read out letter by letter. Especially do not put a URL in alt text in the place of alt text.

Groundbreaking idea: Fitness watches need a setting for 'my tummy hurts' or 'I am clearly chummy with shark week' or 'I'm obviously ill, you aggressively upbeatbutthole' so that when you can't just get up and move, the watch instead says something soothing, like, "You're doing your best, sweetie."

It is infuriating. I assumed that surely by now (if not a year ago) doctors would be prescribing Metformin for anyone with SARS-CoV-2 who could take it. It's an affordable drug that is safe for many people to take-- why wouldn't that be a thing? (Alas . . . )

53% of children followed from birth through age 15 experienced some form of (mostly temporary) housing insecurity. All children who experienced any level of - even temporary - housing insecurity had worse physical & mental health outcomes, with more housing instability correlating to worse health.

let me put this another way: despair, or its new name, doomerism, asserts omniscience--that things cannot be better, that all possibilities of good are already foreclosed, that you can know this as fact. it looks like humility, but it's all ego. it is, in fact, the assumption of godhood.
