Logging back on to BlueSky solely to say that if this sci-fi/fantasy ARC novel doesn't do anything interesting with the time travel aspect, I will THROW HANDS.

Finally saw 'Superman' yesterday. While James Gunn is not entirely off of my shitlist (I remember GOTG 3, motherfucker), apparently I will forgive a remarkably messy movie that seems to go out of it's way to avoid a PG rating if there's an absolutely unhinged Nicholas Hoult performance and/or a dog.

Tech giants' carbon emissions up 150% with AI growth International Telecommunication Union (ITU) reported operational emissions of four technology companies increased by average 150%.

Big Tech's emissions increased 150% in just 4 years, "thanks" to the exploding electricity demands of slop-bucket LLMs that boil lakes to rephrase the internet

Generative AI is worse than useless; it is making it impossible for us to limit climate change

spending a week helping grandma help recuperate from a hospital visit has made it so that I now have stronger opinions about game shows.

(America Says slaps, Bingo Blitz is broken as hell, The Wall gets on my nerves, Cash Cab also slaps, and Beat the Bridge is a fucking embarrassment to game shows)

There's this little ten year old girl sitting at the table across from mine, just VIBING to "Pink Pony Club."

Like, yeah. I get it, kid.

our annual Presidents’ Day lesson remembering the 3 US presidents who died of a waterborne illness.

There's a really good documentary, 'Union', about the Staten Island Amazon warehouse unionizing and how higher ups used every dirty trick in the book to try and keep them from doing so. Some people think forming a union is just saying "I declare union" and that ain't it, chief.

Every idealistic baby lawyer question from now on should just get "don't be a lawyer" from crazy ex-girlfriend linked as an answer

I know that pop music thinks that we need to have a New Sad White Boy to care about every year but consider this: we don't

It's reassuring seeing that the people on the ground floor aren't unapologetically buying the hype like higher-ups are.

So many people in the chat going "hey, what about the environmental impacts???" or "there's no transparency in the data sets" or "lol remember when everyone wanted us to care about the metaverse."

We had a big OCLC cataloging webinar today. It warmed my heart that as the presenters were talking about all the cool things you can do with AI, the general vibe in the chat was "this fucking sucks."

I'm a little put out that since (iirc) it was only released as a single, you don't get the same effect with his insanely bouncy version of "In Dulce Jubilo."

Snoop and Tom Brady: say no to hate

Kendrick: actually

Ukrainian Eurovision national selection is being broadcasted from a bomb shelter, cause there may be a war, but this country does not plan to suck at Eurovision ever

3. Kenny Rogers - "The Gambler"

A classic for a reason. I love a good country music story song. This is a peak example of that + an infinitely singable chorus (you gotta know when to hold em)

Remember when y'all said your weren't going to let him on the couch

You ever read a book and think "wow, this is really good, I do not want to talk about this with any straight white man that I have not personally vetted?"

2. Blackpink - "Kill this Love"

EPs count, simply because so many k-pop and j-pop artists are allergic to releasing full albums

As my girl Olivia Rodrigo is apparently allergic to capital letters, I thank you for this mercy.

For exact same titles, is that just the exact same words in the title or exact same words including stylizations (ex "Mamma Mia" by Abba and "MAMMAMIA" by Maneskin)?

1. The Chicks - "Wide Open Spaces"
who's ready for me to be the only damn person in this challenge to include country music, lmao (i hope i am proven wrong!!)

Do I have to blame the Brits, TikTok, or both for "The Spark," a song which is completely foreign to my American offline ass

So this didn't mountain dew it for some voters, huh

YouTube video by Flip A Senhit ft. Flo Rida - Adrenalina - San Marino - Grand Final - Eurovision 2021

I'm not sure he knew entirely what was going on but yep, he was there.

While Brennan is right that Celine Dion is Canadian, a Eurovision performer doesn't have to be a citizen of the nation they're competing for! That's how you get Celine for Switzerland, Katrina and the Waves for the UK and fuckin FLO RIDA for San Marino.

“how is this lowering the price of eggs” as a gotcha is totally empty!! when have they cared about hypocrisy!!! they campaigned on punishing the freaks and they’re doing it!!! shut da fuck up!! how about showing some solidarity instead!!!!!!!

(For the record, this dude's a Democrat and if you read the language, it's clear he's absolutely trolling with this bill.)
