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.

Unique, twisting dust lanes are prominent in this Hubble image—an edge-on view of lenticular galaxy NGC 4753. That dust likely was pulled in during a merger with a dwarf galaxy more than 1 billion years ago. Credit: NASA, ESA, and L. Kelsey. 🔭 🧪

NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech.

"Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!"

Pretty fucking telling, IMO, that the terfs aren’t celebrating a win here because they’re actually all far-right dipshits who pretend they MIGHT vote Labour but never will. Hope the party stops courting their vote now.

CNN fact checked whether I in fact caught walleye while wearing a specific hat more thoroughly than the NYT checked whether the “I dont vote” guy actually voted.

twitter does provide a useful metaphor for an idiot king busting in to an existing community, which continues to sort of function but in far shittier and clunkier ways

Do you remember literally anything about how Michelle Obama was treated when she was a live political figure and not just a warm memory of a better time?

Kind of wild how Republicans being in every way worse than Democrats has caused many of us to create a literal double standard where they ignore evil by Republicans, from whom they expect it, but not from Democrats, who are expected to be better, and then decide they're the same so why bother voting

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

People think fighting nazis looks like an imagined WW2 gunfight, and not telling their relative or buddy or coworker or *boss* to knock it the fuck off or else. They won't tell their racist boss to shut the fuck up, but think they'll be throwing bricks.
