Hello, I am Jamal from Gaza. Unfortunately, everything was destroyed in Gaza. My university, my studies, my beautiful city, my dreams, and everything is beautiful. Our lives are also in danger and the destruction is still continuing. You can help me rebuild my life

1.3 gigs of new gas to meet rising demand due to Bitcoin mining

Trust me when I say the Bitcoin problem has not only not gone away, but very clearly gotten worse, despite far fewer headlines about it....

A country where a minority of voters can elect a president with king-like authority and impunity and federal agencies that lack the power to do any of the things they are meant to do if big rich companies say they don't like it. Culmination shit for the right wing project.

Grosse Bitte an euch "Tax-the-Rich" zu unterstützen. Es gilt Superreiche zu besteuern um mehr Klimaschutz zu finanzieren. Wenn diese EU-Bürgerinitiative bestimmte Schwellenwerte erreicht, muss sie geprüft werden. Ein mächtiges Tool, wenn es genutzt wird.

I learned at an engineering conference recently that one crypto mine in TX, 100s of MW, makes more money off ERCOT demand response markets than it does off crypto repeat: TX ratepayers pay them more to sometimes stop mining than they make by actual mining just bananas misuse of power markets 🔌💡

Lately, journalists have asked if scientists didn't warn us enough, or didn't know how bad climate change would be.

Scientists did their jobs. It's fossil fuel companies who lied about climate impacts FOR DECADES. They're to blame for these heat waves.

"U.S. police departments have gotten smaller—and the violent crime rate is still plummeting. So what is going on?" What's ALWAYS gone on. Cops do not stop crime. They never have. Real "tough on crime" measures are well-funded schools, free daycare, and mental health services. Always have been.

I think a lot of folks steeped in climate doomerism have internalized "we break 1.5/2C and we're Totally Doomed" but every tenth of a degree we can prevent, warming-wise, is very important! 1.6C > 1.7C > 1.8C, etc it is important to take the good news as evidence that we can limit the damage

Okayyyyyy you asked for lots of hard to draw stuff and I made a lot of nightmare fuel from those requests. In the end, we have 3 deep sea creatures that would prefer that we collectively do NOT destroy their homes via deep sea mining. Try recycling maybe, they say.

i think we should stop giving our ai bots female names (alexa, siri) and give them names from the old white boys club (john, james, chad) in honor of how overconfident and annoying they are even when they’re completely wrong or making stuff up

#Europawahl

Wenn Du heute Nazis wählst, bekommst Du weder mehr Geld, noch werden Lebensmittel oder deine Miete günstiger.

Auch "denen da oben" wischst Du keinen aus.

Unterm Strich hast Du dann einfach Nazis gewählt und dein Kreuz bei Hass, Menschenverachtung und Faschismus gesetzt.
