Why is the richest man in the world cutting cancer research?

We've got a cool thing forming where a lot of members are writing things, which inspires other members to try their hand at writing, and suddenly we have more member-written pieces than we can play. And they all have something interesting to say!

WRAL Kat Campbell 🚀🚀🚀Look southeast after 6:07 PM to see a rocket launch Tuesday (February 4th). The viewing conditions should be great! No binoculars or special gear is needed.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Rocket launch! I was looking for it but couldn’t see it from where I am

An independent federal agency that just happens to have played a large role in ending apartheid in South Africa.

Shuttering USAID will cause more deaths than Israel has in Gaza by an order of magnitude. Maybe even two.

This is what refusing to vote for "the lesser evil" looks like.

The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk's Government Takeover Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The extra we pay for in the form of across the board tariffs on everything imported goes straight to the US treasury. Where it gets funneled to billionaires in the form of tax cuts for the wealthiest one percent. Meanwhile, taxes on the middle class will increase.

Saturday night. Programmed in the “Bodies Of Water” drum beat (or an 8-bar version of it). Have been rehearsing this song with a couple friends as a string trio (violin, cello, contrabass), and this will maybe be a little groovier than the metronome 😆

Bandcamp transaction fees got you down? Just realize that your 10% "discounted" rate jumped back up to 15% + PayPal?

Ampwall's transaction fee is 5% + PayPal on merch and digital sales. Buyers usually cover Ampwall's 5% for you. Everyone selling makes more money. (Except us. We make less. 🤷)

It exists and it worked great for me last year.

The second video from my record FOREST FIRES is up now, this one for the title track. I created this animation in Adobe Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Animate, and After Effects, with a lil help from some fire templates.

AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that. The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.

"A request made through ChatGPT, an AI-based virtual assistant, consumes 10 times the electricity of a Google Search"

This isn't a game. This is accelerated destruction via huge usage of power, water, resources etc. Stop using it - especially for messing about!!

Today is the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere, the shortest day and the longest night, the first day of winter but also the day that marks the return of the light. The true reason for the season!
