Looked up both Greenly and the author listed in the article on LinkedIn, and I found no signs of the study anywhere.

Would’ve been interesting to look into its methodology as I study Sustainable Digitalisation, but alas

Info on its energy gobbling should be in every news story about AI. It is newsworthy. It is inseparable from the tech itself.

Yep, but it also looks like the quote has some weird font thing going on, so the translation seems more correct if you type it in directly

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

It’s always Joe that’s causing shit 😂

1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed.

Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance.

My org @mmfa.bsky.social did this study and has been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

ATmosphereConf Seattle 2025 · Luma An in-person conference focused on AT Protocol that powers Bluesky and the wider ATmosphere. Join us in Seattle, March 22nd & 23rd. Our venue is Oak Hall at…

The first AT Protocol conference is happening March 22 & 23rd in Seattle! If you’re a developer interested in building on the protocol, hope to see you there.

Netflix has 4748 movies right now. Subtract the "originals" nobody cares about and there's 2503.

How many of those are worth watching? The average blockbuster had twice that. @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social has 150,000.

Fuck streaming & paying forever. When I wanna see a movie, I'm getting it on disc.

Pilot season was the best R&D/farm system. all those pilots that DIDN'T get made put new great actors & writers on the radar for execs/producers to make an even BETTER bet on the next one. And all those artists/crews improved their craft/made a living.

The system now? Penny wise and dollar foolish.

Tired: Musk wants to run the government like X, which goes down a lot lol

Wired: Musk wants to run the government like X, which he redesigned to promote only reactionary conservative thought with the express purpose of hurting those he disagrees with regardless of what he has to break to do so.

It’s so overreaching they accidentally banned all efforts towards Voter ID laws

AP Human Geography website showing 2 instead of 3 available videos.

So apparently the AP Human Geography site is culling some of its "daily videos" for class use. A teacher tells me the videos on redlining and white flight are gone. In the screenshot below, you can see the Daily Videos start with no. 2 (no. 1 on this page was redlining, and it's gone now).

Just saw a old white Swedish lady’s phone go off—her ringtone is the Boondocks theme.

We started using Deglazed recently and it’s been pretty useful for tracking different recipes

I'm still kind of processing the loss of Monolith as an entity. Like, obviously the biggest concern is with those who lost their jobs today, but that company had a storied history full of amazing titles across various genres and just... Poof. Fourth quarter earnings said fuck your institution.

This is not a free press.

James Cameron reportedly told attendees at an event in New Zealand that AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH will open with a title card, after the 20th Century and Lightstorm logos, stating that “no generative A.I. was used in the making of this movie.”

All HP Lovecraft stories begin like “I will try and relay the events as best as I can manage, though what I encountered that September night may not be able to be expressed in human language, nor be comprehended by the human mind” and then the story boils down to ‘I saw a building that was large’.

The point is *all* films - whether consciously or not - are in some way necessarily "political" by default, just by virtue of being made in a specific culture at a specific time and in a specific place. There's no such thing as culturally (and thus politically) neutral filmmaking - its impossible.

RFK Jr.'s raspy voice is the result of a condition called spasmodic dysphonia. What is it? Spasmodic dysphonia is a rare neurological disorder that causes a strained voice. RFK Jr. says he has had the disorder for decades and treats it with Botox injections, a common treatment.

Apparently he has to get Botox shots to maintain his voice…

Apparently there’s 2 cuts of Den of Thieves 2?

What he's announcing is a concentration camp. A deeply illegal, unconstitutional, anti-human rights atrocity. Anyone who supports this is complicit. Anyone in any federal service, military or otherwise, is morally obligated to refuse to carry out any orders related to this deeply criminal act.

I remember seeing Fire of Love in a completely empty auditorium on a random weekday matinee, and an employee walked up to me at the end and said “good to see you here. Thanks for coming!” as if he recognized me.

Lovely theater
