you can convincingly portray this whole financialized AI edifice as a mortgage crisis-style house of cards without even mentioning that the fundamental product is unreliable, based on outright theft, and people don’t like it.

Huge win for Mamdani

After the AI bubble I hope the next bubble is Laser Tag. Laser tag arenas on every street corner. Blacklight lit battlefields propping up every sector of the economy. A one story building by the side of the highway called “Blast Zone: Pizza & Arcade” valued at $2.7 trillion

Diversity doesn’t weaken unions. Racist bosses like Vance using racism to divide workers by race so they can exploit them weakens unions. All this stuff is arsonists complaining about the temperature in the building they set on fire. bsky.app/profile/diew...

No He MAMDIDN'T! Zohran Caught In Another Web of Lies After He Introduced His Coworker as His Friend

This and the way Mamdani responds to Ackman types (by not responding) is what I need to see more of. These people are not experts on anything relevant. They're just loud or rich or loud and rich. You dont get three hours on prime time with politicians just because you very visibly suck at something.

this is what gamers deserve

Listening to rap helps inure you to this by equipping you with a framework that acknowledges the role your haters play in your growth.

Aren’t woke, go broke 💅

Twitter post by Stephen Lacey regarding the cancellation of the 6.2 GW Esmeralda 7 Project stating: "This is also a story about weaponizing veto points. These cancellations are direct retribution for fights over coal, KeystoneXL & LNG exports. We absolutely need to phase out fossils as fast as possible. But this is the other side of the coin when infrastructure gets political."

It is foolish to contend that we can somehow avoid the hard politics of climate action by rendering the challenge into a bloodless infrastructure problem somehow immune to the power & influence of the fossil fuel industry.

This is one of the best, most comprehensive news articles about the Ohio earthworks I've ever seen. Please give it a read. There's so much great knowledge in here; stuff every Ohioan should take pride in about our home state and the astonishing history here we ought to revere.

post from reddit: The Phillies are offering a 9-9-9 challenge of hot dogs and beers for the postseason. The dogs are slider sized and the beers look to be about 4-8 ounces at most

doing this with half-dogs and mini-beers is so disrespectful to the spirit of the challenge that's all about exceeding your recommended sodium intake by 4000% while getting blind drunk that i'm inclined to say this has cost the phillies whatever mandate of heaven they may have had

My photo shows a mosaic fragment from the floor of a Roman villa in Spain, dated AD 100-200s. It depicts a cartoon-like, stylised octopus using red, yellow, white, and black limestone tesserae, against a white background. The front-facing octopus has a large red and white head/body outlined in black. Its yellow circular eyes are outlined in black with a central black dot. Below the head/body are eight writhing tentacles

Charming little octopus from a Roman villa at Villaquejida, León, Spain. Limestone, 2nd-3rd century AD.

After Volatile Summer, Trump’s Approval Remains Low but Stable, Poll Finds

perhaps instead of cowering under a blanket labeled "health care," democrats should respond and advance on the issues that move people. this, of course, would require a foundation of conviction and principle, which may be asking too much of the party's leadership and strategists.

Inspired by this + fossil giant Eni's fusion investments to update my 'greenwashing habitable zone' conceptualisation of what techs seem to lend themselves to being the most useful for bullshitty climate delay

Welcome to the zone, fusion, you finally made the cut

People have asked me for years what the “secret” of my art career is, it’s probably mostly that my landlord hasn’t increased my rent since 2020 and it’s a lot easier to make a living making stupid limited appeal drawings when you have cheap rent

imagining the alternate universe where stockton rush wasn't piloting the titan sub when it popped, was prosecuted by the biden DOJ in 2024, pardoned early in 2025, and is running NOAA today. thank goodness for small miracles i guess

it’s a beautiful day to shut the fuck up

Cuyahoga County used to be able to swing the state of Ohio toward Democrats. In part because of the very same practices Democrats sought to ban at the state level in 2024, our leaders are undercutting their own communities for the consolidation of power.

I'm gonna be completely honest here, saying "yield" to a country that built its self-understanding on resistance to imposed authority and military occupation seems deeply un-American to me
