How Tim Curry Changed Your Life

While I've been trying to get the draft of my play to get a table read somewhere in Portland, I've realized the issue that's been at the back of my mind about it: not ambitious enough! It now requires 91 performances for it to be told in its entirety as the script will change over time.
Had a dream that, upon waking, I thought would make a good setup for a mystery novel. Forgot at least 5 times over the span of an hour to sit down and write it in the Mystery section of my Writing Ideas doc. Oh, sleepy ADHD brain...you so silly.
The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.
Oregon data centers by the numbers: 111 facilities consume nearly one-quarter of state’s power, according to new report
A first-of-its-kind report details the footprint of the controversial facilities.

I think it was in 1984 that I got a Burton Performer. The red one. All wood with three metal fins underneath the tail. I didn't get to ride it much before it was stolen. :/

Pam Spaulding@pamspaulding.bsky.social · yesterdaySaturday nostalgia! So cool — in 1993, a guy recorded while walking around a Blockbuster Video for "movie night." A couple of gens never got to experience the fun of exploring a Blockbuster (or mom & pop or indy vid stores like VisArt!) for movies & games. Who else remembers? 😃 🌐 t2m.co/ehR6QcRf
Progress on any project is progress. 99% sure this will be ready to publish next month.

a pretty good way to gauge the conversation is whether people are talking about harm or risk harm is about what's happening now already risk is about what could maybe happen in the future and basically the whole ai cult scene is in agreement that possible risks are more important than current harm
Ajuna Soerjadi 🌸@ethicsofai.bsky.social · 3d agoFor real!! Comedian Micky Overman says it like it is. Generally the only people even entertaining the thought of evil AGI are men. Women are too busy fixing the ACTUAL problems of AI, like idk, the way it automates, reproduces and exacerbates misogyny and makes all our lives worse...
Every year we make the case for keeping leaves, branches, & plant stems in your yard. Bugs need them for shelter! That’s not to say you can’t tidy up: rake leaves into garden beds, around trees, or just in a pile out of the way. All we ask is that you #LeaveTheLeaves! 🍂🐝 xerces.org/blog/leave-t...
Leave the Leaves!
One of the most valuable ways to support pollinators and other invertebrates is to provide them with the shelter they need to survive the winter. Thankfully, all you need to do is do less yard work.

Who chooses the Headline and Subhead that goes to print?
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 4d agoEditor: I'd like a story that combines Americans' hatred of artificial intelligence, their fears about the environment, their antipathy toward data centers, and their angst over inflation driven by dwindling fuel supplies. Reporter: Got ya covered, boss. Need anything else?
There are many commendable things about this piece, but one of the best is: it's a story about the GOP's Nazi problem, and because @thehandbasket.co.web.brid.gy is not hosted on Substack, reading it doesn't fund another Nazi problem.
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 4d agoNew — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:

Lucille Bluth's Iconic 'Good For Her' - Arrested Development
Alt: Lucille Bluth's Iconic 'Good For Her' line from Arrested Development. Posted with some sarcasm, eye-rolling at the Times of India, and the knee-jerk reaction that genuinely was "good for her" as I momentarily entertained the thought, which, once again, underscores the need to be skeptical of any news source.
