That government needs to find some more creative thinking. And explosives.
My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.
Watch this video and oh hey, fuck Kevin O'leary.
Billionaire Kevin O'leary says two people fighting against data centers in Utah are Chinese agents. Turns out it's just two locals and they make a hilarious video calling him out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDy6...
How did she not already know where the ballroom would be?
Zacharia: "I am looking forward to walking in & working for President Trump. This job is not about me, it's about him... his policies are the most effective, most exciting. He's the most energetic, intense president we've ever seen. When I was there yesterday he showed me where the ballroom will be"
First snowfall of the season today. Not a lot of it, it's all melting as it hits the ground, but my head still feels like someone's hitting it with a hammer from the inside.
I also stopped eight wars*, but you don't see me complaining about not getting a Nobel Peace Prize. (*They were mostly between my cats.)
A culture that permits the death penalty at all isn't one "that upholds the dignity of every human being." Also, fuck Pete Hegseth.
NEW from me: The National Association of Evangelicals (along with several other religious groups) are now joining the USCCB in condemning Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth’s plans to publicly execute Nidal Malik Hasan, also saying doing so promotes a “culture of death.” religionnews.com/2026/10/09/h...
Oh hey, fuck Marc Benioff, whoever that is.
25 days until the midterms:
Oh hey, fuck the California State prison in Lancaster, and fuck those wretched laughing fucks.
If nothing else, just read the opening paragraphs of the new @vevalenz.bsky.social piece. This sort of casual cruelty, and worse, is so common in U.S. jails/prisons that to most it barely registers as scandalous—but it is, and this reporting really matters: boltsmag.org/california-p...

Won't somebody think of the suicide-encouraging, environment-destroying plagiarism machines? OH IT MAKES ME MAD
This is NOT about using Claude to be cruel to people, write racist shit, or anything like that. It's about being mean to the model itself. www.anthropic.com/news/2026-us...
Fuck alllll of this.
NEW: Staff at HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, and Hachette told @adamm0rgan.bsky.social AI is infiltrating their workplaces, from generating cover art and back cover copy, to publicity materials, to rejection emails, as execs tell junior staff to "champion" the tech. www.wired.com/story/book-p...
Oh hey, fuck Palm Beach country clerk of courts Mike Caruso and the local republican party that didn't abandon him.
“Suspended Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts Mike Caruso said he still “intend[s] to win” the November election and has not abandoned his campaign — nor has the local Republican Party abandoned him — even after his August arrest on allegations he molested a small child.“
Oh hey, fuck supreme court justice Samuel Alito. You know you've fucked up when Clarence Thomas is trying to act like he doesn't know you.

My previous post about supporting arts in #yeg had a dead-end link. I think this one should work: www.edmontonarts.ca/about/resear...
Why the arts matter
The EAC is asking you to join the conversation and share your story about the arts and how they've made a difference in your life.

I'm not sure I have any local people keeping track of me here, but if you are in #yeg: If you care about the arts in Edmonton, maybe let the mayor and your city councillor know about it. www.edmontonarts.ca/.../resea......

My favourite Spitting Image bit (the one I still remember that isn't a Genesis video) started running through events of the day with puppets before a voice cut in, said something to the effect of "At this point satire breaks down" and then just played real life clips showing how stupid things were.

This thread is all true, but I think it doesn't highlight a good dog being the best thing quite enough.
As an affirmed dog lover, I have a few things to say. (1) Dogs are harder than people admit. They take a lot of work. They need constant exercise and mental stimulation, especially those with working dog heritage of any kind. Dogs are hard.
FUCK THIS FUCK FUCKING BULLSHIT FUCK FUCK!
BREAKING: The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to allow essential health care to be withheld from transgender people in federal prisons. Denying medically-necessary care to any incarcerated person is cruel and unusual punishment — period.
I won't pretend I understand any of this, but it does sound like good news.
GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic, known as manikomycin, that may be a bulwark in the fight against drug-resistant superbugs. By attacking the ribosome in a never-before-seen way, manikomycin can evade the existing mechanisms pathogens have developed to resist antibiotics.
