I agree. Also. Dinosaur. Heh. Get it. Fossil fuels? Dinosaurs? 🦕 heh. He he

I feel suspicious about the ethics of exposing kids to ai this early. This could dramatically affect their psychological health. Grown adults are experiencing psychosis with ai. A toy talking to a four year old is going to widen the uncanny valley between what feels human and what feels artificial

"Involuntary care" is a cute way to say internment camps...

Maybe if the food was less disgusting and employees were paid a living wage...

Is this the 17th century again? Are we bring back asylums? Wtf!

What if we taxed billionaires?

Billionaires evade tax reform while struggling students get their pennies shaved, great idea!

A graph of GDP per Capita and Median Wages, since 1980 up until 2014. Source for GDP per capita: BEA. Source for Median Wages: BLS. Graph shows relative stagnation of Median weekly earnings of full time workers, but exponential, double fold growth of GDP per capita.

The Reagan administration and its consequences for the United States

I wonder if it orbiting a pulsar had anything to do with its shape?

Love how this graph aligns nearly perfectly with any similar graph of certain political alignments and ideological axes

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

I also love that the path forward is not obvious and so it really feels like you're a little los in the woods.

I love this. The framerate and pixel dithering give it such a beautiful retro feel, like an old intaglio etching or something

My first post on Bluesky! This is a short video from our game Dome, which we’re currently developing. The game is still in its early phase. Hopefully, someone will see this post >.<

Rfk Jr to the press: "have you heard about prions? They're quite delicious"

"Black people less likely to enroll in college after SCOTUS tells them this country loves racism actually" oh wow what a concept. You dehumanize people and they lose hope in your institutions. Go figure. Paint the wall

Play stupid games

might be one of the funniest videos i’ve ever seen

Fr!

let's also talk about what American companies are doing / did in South America. Glass houses and all that...

This coming from an American publication. A country that engineered the Cambodian genocide and funds the Palestinian genocide in Gaza by the Israel settlers.

Pick me! Pick me please!
