thinking again about the greatest scene in cinema history

Three panel comic. Panel 1: three witches stand around a cauldron while one of them stirs. Panel 2: one of the witches adds a scoop of pre workout into the pot. Panel 3: the three witches are getting absolutely shredded in the gym.

Awwwww

Not all of this will go ahead, particularly given the notable shortage in gas turbine supply. But the point isn’t for all of this to get built. These people are throwing wet noodles at the wall and hoping a few of them stick. Even a fraction of these data centre fossil plants getting built would cause a material rise in America’s economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions (as has already started to happen). But another report released yesterday suggests a good chunk of America’s planned fossil data centre capacity will actually go ahead (the report also includes the finding that OpenAI’s fossil-gas fuelled Stargate project will emit 14 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, wiping out 20 years of emissions reductions in New Mexico). It also highlights the intense desperation behind turbine sourcing: reusing aircraft jet engines and buying turbines from a cruise ship company. This is a win-win for companies, politicians and the fossil gas industry. Skyrocketing electricity bills in the US linked to data centre grid connections can be eased by bolting filthy, oversized off-grid fossil power plants onto facilities. That soothes political angst and creates a guaranteed demand sink for fossil fuels. This is “petrotech” — a brand new variety of fossil-fuelled overproduction. Data centres have been around for some time. But they’ve never been dipped into a near-religious frenzy of global hype as we’ve seen around AI. This creates a mode of data centre development insatiably hungry for energy, with zero consideration of externalities like “does this cause humanity’s life support systems to collapse?” Fossil-fuelled data centre development is the rule, not the exception, induced by the nutty cultural and political conditions in which this growth is occurring. Inevitably, it has come to Australia.

New @crikey.com.au piece- Australia's latest fossil-fuelled data centre carbon bomb would undo one year's worth of emissions cuts for the state of New South Wales if it were to go ahead at its proposed scale

This is #Petrotech at work - and it's going to get worse

The troubles

If you see this, post a robot.

An excellent idea. I've written to them too.

Ah another one suffering the XL tax huh? 😔

Ron Cobb, near-forgotten genius political cartoonist.

He also did visual design of technology for the first Alien film and countless other scifi movies in the 70s/80s. Including the Weyland-Yutani Semiotic Standard - a visual language used for Nostromo signage.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Pretty sure the 40 million got pushed back due to fossils found in India pushing it back to the Cretaceous[?]

Just a quiet word for anyone storing jerry cans of fuel in the garage: improper storage of fuel in quantity can potentially invalidate home insurance

The big exception on this is Malta, which is outstanding on trans rights and seen as a world leader yet is the most restrictive nation in the EU on abortion.

No, but these people are also really really stupid soooooo...

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

kind of not ideal that the world economy is run by a cabal of pedophiles but also the two corporations that control all consumer spending think that if you jerk off you should be unbanked

double checking info for these posts felt like a fever dream like what do you mean Max Nordau put out Degeneration in 1892 and he cofounded the zionism movement w fucking Theodor Herzl and over 100 yrs later people are doing Morality Phrenology on fursona KNEES. do you hear how stupid that sounds /5

anyone saying this shit needs to understand that the concept of "degenerate art" is DEEPLY rooted in horrifically racist, anti-semitic, anti-queer, and xenophobic nazi sentiment. they literally did exhibitions of modern art to stoke hostility towards anything that perverted aryan values. /1

The "no furries with humans" rule is consistently one that sites have been forced to implement and that's how you know it's from payment processor pressure.

It isn't a coincidence that these TOS changes all look very similar. It's because it's the same few companies making these sites do it.

USA folk, you need to annoy these assholes as much as you can. this bill is not to protect children. they want to erase transgender people from public life and classify them as degenerate content in the internet. we will not be seen or heard. they want our *existence* to be a sex offense.

The picture shows a piece of limestone with a drawing of a mouse sitting in front of a table of offerings, smelling the fragrance of a lotus flower which she holds in her hand. Opposite of the table is a cat, holding a fan.

A charming #Egyptian drawing of a #cat acting as a servant to a #mouse. Drawings of animals acting as people were meant as satire of the society and politics.
Dating 13th/12th century BC, probably from Deir el-Medina, #Egypt.

graphic design shitpost: Stick figure of human leg with the knee labeled "monetizable knee"; stick figure of digitigrade leg, with the knee labeled "uncouth zoophile knee"; text: Ankle unrelated, "we are very smart" - payment processors. Separate graphic on other half - illustration of a doggy, text: Woof woof! I am a representational, animal-shaped character! A hot one, some might say. People are often attracted to me, which make sense - I am depicted with human-like behaviors, and am often drawn as a representation of idealized or exaggerated human experiences. I'm not just a talking dog - I can be a representation of the artist's aspiration to be more playful, more confident - or of something they already love about themselves. Animal-shaped characters have been a part of human expression as long as we have made art - and that tradition will outlive the powers which seek to control and divide us today. Er, grr bark, I mean.

Tried to shitpost and got carried away lol

Yeah but every other one of them haaaaaaate each other XD

Great use of police resources, Premier.

But at least you are keeping Queensland streets safe from dangerous packs of marauding T-shirts, hell-bent on causing offence to people who support apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide. #qldpol

And the Von Carsteins lol

And Malekith

Yee

They keep making meh space marine movies whilst Genevieve Undead and Gotrek and Felix are right there and ripe for an excellent adaptation
