Elon Musk's makeshift AI power plant generates sound and fury in Mississippi The 27 temporary gas turbines roar like jet engines day and night to power data centers, residents say.

Jet engines in your backyard, methane in your lungs, climate crisis accelerating: all for AI data centers.

AI for billionaires, pollution for everyone else... courtesy of Elon Musk.

In Alberta, this is what we call manufacturing a fiscal crisis to defund services.

I come not to praise Claude or whatever but giving unaccountable robot decisionmaking to thundering dipshits who just shot down their own drone with a laser does seem like wrong side of history business

Picture of a social/supportive housing project in the Yaletown community in downtown Vancouver. Text says “if we don’t build housing to solve homelessness, we don’t really want to solve homelessness.” Logo of the urban truth collective in the corner.

If we don’t build housing to solve homelessness, we don’t really want to solve homelessness. #UrbanTruth

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.

It makes sense if they do not consider immigrants to be people. Not moral or ethical sense, but syntactic sense.

All examples of lack of oversight with devastating results.

just a reminder that you already know everything you need to know about the state of the union and unless you will enjoy watching it there's a million other things you can do. you don't have to be "in the loop." the loop is a trash place to be tbh

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

Idiocracy.

Maybe the finest rock song written (so far).

“If all the names in the Epstein files are released then our entire system will collapse.”

Works for me.

The pollution that causes climate change and predominantly come from the "global north".

It disproportionately affects those who are more vulnerable. This includes much of the "global south".

We cannot "love our neighbour" while our pollution makes them poorer, hungrier, sicker.

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

So cool to hear John Chowning just won a Technical Grammy for his invention of FM synthesis in 1967!

ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.”

And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.

My wife said the same thing as you. I suspect I didn't get the point of the article and then was rather dumb in my response.

TBF, the detainees are harmless people, so no risk to the public.

Well, no risk other than to the detainees and their families.

There is no such thing as benign surveillance.

Ahem. scholarworks.uark.edu/cgi/viewcont...

How do you dox somebody who is a public figure, and not keeping their identity private?

The dude doesn't seem too smart.

YouTube video by Charlie Angus LESSONS IN RESISTANCE - BONHOEFFER & DENMARK

I am so inspired by the people of Minnesota and the general strike that has been called. There are incredible lessons in resistance that we need to know and share.
@meidascanada.ca tells the story of resistance in Denmark and the resistance of Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Agreed, but we also need to protect our own spirits:

Shake his dust from your feet, and let's be good to each other.
