All of a sudden we're not talking about the widely popular bipartisan opposition to massive data center buildouts. I wonder why 🤔
Emily M. Bender@emilymbender.bsky.social · 14h agop.s. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that all of this acceleration in the hype is a reaction to the succesful and broadening opposition to their wasteful, polluting, noisy data centers.
im still figuring out how to explain this book to people so today i will add that it is a sapphic romance

They are trying to make it illegal to be a Real Yearner. They are trying to criminalize being a little high on a rainy street in Japan and finding a little cozy ramen shop and stopping in. They are trying to stop me from being stoned in a hot spring with a bunch of monkeys. This world is a prison.

As I continue to cultivate mass and lift heavier at the gym I have decided to supplement my diet by eating smaller, more annoying straight white men. I am going to make the author of this NYT article into brisket.
@NewsJennifer (Jennifer Schulze)@newsjennifer.bsky.social · 6h agoI see the NYT is still platforming 'dei crushed white men' bullsh*t. Here it's buried in a 'why rural themed pop culture' is so popular in a piece written by a Princeton grad who lives in New York City. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/13/o...
I am the most "we used to be a proper country" about giving truly insane engineers infinite money. The ones who looked at German rockets and said "Hot DAMN them Krauts make a good as hell missile. Say, I bet if you made one of them sumbitches big enough you could send some fellas to the moon."
I think the industry (myself included) needs to put more effort into death ragdolls. I want them to be funny, not natural.

Do you understand? Do you see the vision? Do you see patterns within the swirling murk of tapestry being woven by the Fates? Do you see how, here, at the zenith of their electoral and cultural power, they become so utterly, inextricably tied to the favorability ratings of one sundowning 80 year old?

I might write a text analysis about Season 1 of Reacher. I actually would love to do that. That actually sounds so fun.
Andrew [Retired from Sad]@athomashemlock.bsky.social · 20h agoGod the Reacher pilot rules so goddamn hard.
YOU SEE?! YOU SEE WHAT HE DID?! HE REJECTED THEIR FRAMING. HE DIDN'T STEP ON THE FUCKING RAKE. HE MADE THEM DEFENSIVE. HE TOOK CONTROL OF THE NARRATIVE. IT'S A VERY FUCKING EASY GAME TO PLAY AND WIN. THESE PEOPLE AREN'T GOOD AT RHETORIC IT'S NOT THAT DIFFICULT TO BEAT THEM.

I'm out here trying to take on the health care crisis and big pharma, and you're asking me about who gets to play what sports. It's silly. People can't take you seriously.
YES THANK YOU SIR I NEED THE REST OF THEM TO UNDERSTAND HOW HARD THIS ISN'T JESUS CHRIST

"One more thing Miss Barlow... you were about 14 in 2001, and you grew up in the UK, so why did they dismiss your school at noon on 9/11, when the attacks would have happened around 2 pm your time? I just don't understand how the school knew the attacks would be happening later"
flyingrodent@flyingrodent.bsky.social · yesterdayA helpful key here for understanding what wingnuttery is and how it works, here. I 100% guarantee you this did not happen and that the boys she’s talking about - she later clarified they were “Pakistani” - do not exist. And yet, I can also assure you Eve is *absolutely convinced* she saw this.
we tracked months of rent payments to an estimated 13,000 families. the expected cost of rehousing those families, had they entered eviction, would be north of $218 million dollars. keeping them housed cost around $38-40 million
Yusra, the super genius who is working with fellow PhD students to turn this into real research, and I are very excited to talk to other places, foundations, and governments, about how funding rent in a time of crisis is one of the most impactful investments you can make
during OMS we formed a group of rent funds called Keep Minnesota Housed and tracked, between Feb and May, exactly how much rent was being paid and where, and what/where the unmet needs were the documentation allowed us to move money from foundations who had sworn they couldn’t pay rent
i am incredibly excited to share our research about how paying people’s rent through mutual aid made an impact on minnesota this year we accidentally collected more data than anyone ever has for an effort like this, and can very seriously say we prevented an eviction bubble that everyone expected

Okay maybe I need to go back and read a bunch of old pulp spy novels so I can write a pulpy space spy novel because that would be so fun.

brasidas@brasidas.bsky.social · 2d agoNate Silver has an extremely high opinion of his ability to apply his intelligence way outside of its field of study and it is often hysterical. The worst parts of his book were the PDoom chapters. Absolute dogpoop stuff.
