New recycling tech recovers nearly pure nickel and cobalt from old EV batteries Researchers have developed an eco-friendly recycling tech that extracts 99 percent pure nickel and cobalt from waste batteries.

If anyone cares at all, EV battery recycling is now hitting 99% recovery for important metals

Please remind me again what the recycle rate for fossil fuels is

No more tolerance. No more suicidal empathy

it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man on earth and leading Republican is a fucking Nazi

media needs to stop beating around the bush. this is Nazi shit.

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

And I think I'm calling her done, bit sloopy on the values but we'll blame that on going heavy on the red.

One day I'll find a pathfinder table for her, but for now she goes back on the shelf with all of the other character conepts.

<text> i'm slowly cultivating a focus on posting to dreamwidth, a non-algorithmic site that feels like older journal and forum sites i'm tired of for you pages, algorithms, rage bait content, bots, forced usage of AI. Idk when i'll shift away from instagram-i'll be archiving my photos at some point, it might be a while before then. either way, look into dreamwidth- i like it a lot so far. Just posting some writing and art for now, I might make a more personal account later. For now my only account is: scissorgrinder <image> someone stuck in a cycle of depression with the thought "i need to create more" floating around their head over and over again

as for bsky, idk if/when i'll leave but i've had trouble getting behind it with their horrible auto-mod issues, among other things. i feel disuaded from posting here truly. we'll see

It’s my birthday today! ^v^ As is customary, I only ask for some shares, and I hope everyone has an incredible day!

I really don’t think we can overstate the harm that the tech ethos of move fast and break things (followed by the unsaid “and then just move on”) has done beyond tech. Government, ngos, universities, public schools that have invited the folks who think like this in keep ending up gutted

How to explain AI to your family this holiday season | CNN Business Politics, football and movies are among the many topics that tend to come up around Thanksgiving. In 2025, a new question may arise at the table: Why the heck is everyone talking about AI, and what sh...

"Imagine you stole all of the intellectual property in the world. And you're using it to help people write middling emails and make revenge porn about women, and also children. And you're powering this plagiarism and non-consensual porn machine by eating up what's left of humanity's carbon budget."

Democrats seem to think the pivoting to the center makes them most electable but all it does it piss *everyone* off.

Having beliefs/a backbone and being authentic is the best way to win elections. People are fucking sick of croneyism and corporate suck ups and that is why Zohran cruised to victory

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.

Bluesky's semi-hidden "Sexually suggestive (cartoon)" moderation mode is one of their most embarrassing design decisions. I bet there's SO many users who think they turned on visible nudity but accidentally have on a setting that treats Jessica Rabbit as UNACCEPTABLE where dick on main is ACCEPTABLE

a copper heart that was soldered together

the copper heart, before being soldered together, sat next to a drawing displaying what the finished jewelry piece will be--two ravens pulling at the heart's flesh

progress, finally

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

The KKK was founded in 1865. The united states has had 157 years to register it as a terrorist organization an has not . Instead it's a tax exempt religious organization . I'm not all that interested in white people's definition of terrorism .

This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either.

Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

@moderation.bsky.app embarrassing and a mess, as always

"Adult Content"
shouts from the rooftops: THIS IS HISTORICALLY ACCURATE MINOAN SILHOUETTE AND LEVEL OF MODESTY, AND ALSO THIS CHARACTER HAS SOFT PECS, NOT TIDDIES
