I watch entirely too many movies, pet entirely too many cats, hate just the right amount of fascists, and break too many rules of threes. I came here for the same reason you did.
Just realizing that Americans pronounce “mauve” as “mah-v,” instead of “mow-v” like the rest of us, and I find it inexplicably upsetting. The world still has the capacity to surprise me, apparently?
It was real painful to see Gausman go, and I’m just as bummed to see Varsho take off. The guy was a sparkplug when needed and a hell of a force in the outfield. Gonna miss both of ‘em. #bluejays

As a professional fact checker I would never *in a million years* use AI for research and fact checking. It lies! It makes things up! It plagiarizes! And I also have an obligation to the authors I work for not to do shoddy half-work.
I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
I hope your crappy Facebook flyer was worth it, folks!
Allen Newton@allennewton.bsky.social · 2w ago1/2 - ONE HALF - of the US, experienced power flickering directly related to data centers in Virginia.
I will quit my job to campaign for any candidate from any party who runs on the sole platform of bulldozing data centers into dust
Dr Grace S Peng@gspeng.bsky.social · 2w agoPower (suppliers) and load (users) on the grid must match instantaneously. A transmission line serving data center-rich N VA went down in a storm. Data centers all disconnected to the grid, fell over to diesel generators, causing a multi-state power surge. 😱
(3 drinks) sometimes the world is so magnificent that i will weep at the many simple beauties you encounter during a normal day (3.25 drinks) if you begin to think about it enemies are actually surrounding me and closing in. i am beset upon by evil on all sides.
You know things are bad when the white supremacists are just straight-up running a banner for the Racism Jamboree

Anyone who has any experience with solar knows how it basically feels like magic compared to what we’re used to for other forms of power. Even tangential exposure to it gives the impression of a miracle.
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · 3w agoIt's something I'm not sure people understand about solar because we're so used to fossil fuels. Big business and billionaires LOVE oil because using it requires constant new inputs. Infinite profits. Solar isn't like that. You build and erect a panel and it just kicks power out basically forever

Mark Carney@mark-carney.bsky.social · 3w agoThe world wants to do more with Canada. Our MOU with Alberta will unlock those opportunities in energy — and create lasting benefits for Canadians.
I know everyone is watching the absolute bangers that Sam Neill is best known for, but might I suggest Perfect Strangers (2003)? It’s no Possession or In the Mouth of Madness, but I promise you that at no point during its runtime is it the movie you think it is. Weird but tres watchable.
Hi local businesses! Unfortunately your AI generated posters are terrible and worse than no posters
Just another reminder that AI is a plague and data centers should be resisted with every ounce of your being
Fort Worth Star-Telegram@star-telegram.com · 4w agoThe data center developer requested millions of gallons of lake water per day, but the company has not filed all the necessary paperwork.
As someone with nearly 10,000 reviews on there I am uhhhhhhh A BIT UPSET ABOUT THIS

And speaking of the best indies out there on Steam, the Wadjet Eye catalogue is maybe the very apex of modern point-and-click adventure games, and I cannot think of anything that even comes close. All are well worth your time, but Unavowed will always have a special place in my heart.

While I’m shilling my fave indies at the tail end of the Steam sale, let me point to THIS mind-boggling bargain. Strange Scaffold really is one of the best and craziest crews doing it out there rn, and to scoop up their entire, wonderful catalogue for $60 is madness. MADNESS!

I love movies AND I love video games, and I especially love the intersection of the two when they thoughtfully explore their respective medium while telling incredible stories. All three of these do that, and you NEED to pick these up if any of this interests you in the slightest

What happened one inning prior? That’s right: Brandon Little hit the mound for his first outing after being pulled up from the minors. The man is a walking curse
Athlon Sports@athlonsports.bsky.social · 2mo agoToronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was replaced by Charles McAdoo in the bottom of the 6th inning after suffering an injury.
Straw is also doing better than Brandon Little, who was brought back into the team today. The Bad Juju King must be defeated
JM =^D@jm539581.bsky.social · 2mo agoIt's has been so bad for the Blue Jays today ... they resorted to Myles Straw pitching.
