Most comfortable saying “ooof,” interested in the discourse but typically not interested in contributing. A mixture of too many passions: your economic developments/sustainablities, ecological evolutions, colors, comic books, news, funnies, fun, and etc
You'd be hard pressed to find a worse climate villain when it comes to data centres than Elon Musk.

By my own calculations, Musk's carbon bomb slop factories are undoing nearly half to all of the emissions cuts from Tesla products ketanjoshi.co/2026/03/02/m...
Very few consumers in the world, maybe 1 in 8, are shielded from the rise in gasoline&diesel prices (in that their government subsidizes fuel prices). A common mistake is thinking that being an oil exporter will shield consumers. Only switching to clean transport&energy does.
Maj. Jeffrey R. O’Brien, 45, of Indianola, Iowa, died on March 1, 2026, in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait.
Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert M. Marzan, 54, of Sacramento, Calif. as well.
For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.
These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20
it’s so cool how the whole country is run by weird grifters like the dad from little miss sunshine now
Six US soldiers dead in less than a week would be a scandal in any reality other than the hell dimension we’re trapped in where we’ve decided Donald Trump will face no consequences for any action.
So I think that should really put a nail on the coffin of the technofascist malice vs incompetence debate
It's both! They're evil and they're liars and they're not good at anything but evil and lying (and they're not even good liars)
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.
From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.
The last few days have been a reminder that Republican party government is mostly aimed toward a return to unstable, arbitrary, personalist rule
"iS tHeRe a tEcHnoLoGY tHe leFt Is eXcItEd aBoUt" yeah, renewable energy, mRNA vaccines. Lots of cool stuff like that! Probably not the one whose main promise was cutting payrolls
r/analytics • IOh We just found out our AI has been making up analytics data for 3 months and I'm gonna throw up. Support So we've been using an Al agent since November to answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations, everyone loved it. I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this entire time. Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing plausible sounding percentages. I only caught it by accident when someone asked me to double check something. I started digging, and holy shit, it's bad.
lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard
I know I've been talking up Dungeon Crawler Carl lately, but it speaks to this vibe: the integrity of a system that generates profit must be upheld in spite of human lives and dignity. If you force them to choose, they'll choose profit but they'll also be angry you revealed their priorities.
These men are a threat to the long term survival of all life on earth
😍😍🥰😍🥰
Could not be happier for Robert Kraft. What a week!
Made me tear up.
And it’s 14 v 4 not enough of an upset to warrant it
Just because good news is worth celebrating:
There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.
HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.
production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA
Twany is so great
*Steve Martin in "The Jerk" voice*
"These guys really hate collars!!!"
Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50
Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it
The release of the Epstein Files really lays bare the evils of (among other things) networking.
We were on the cusp of changing medicine forever. Curing things that had no cure. mRNA vaccines are revolutionary
The writers room is getting lazy
The women’s prison has DOUBLED in size here. So instead of the usual 450ish women we donate our menstrual products to, we trying to provide to almost 1000
If y’all could help us, we’d really appreciate it! Its gonna take much of our budget for one facility this year

I would be very surprised if a full accounting in the future didn't reveal more than one mass grave at the detention centers. If they're behaving this way in public, what's happening out of sight must be many times more brutal.
Planners and politicians keep flipping over the couch cushions to find any change they can to pay the rent that’s due yesterday. The answer isn’t shoving housing in tiny slivers here and there, it’s allowing it everywhere developed, including single family zoned neighborhoods
