so, plants under solar panels do well, water under solar panels does well, foxes under solar panels do well, just need to put solar panels over more things

your Tesla supports mass child death

NBC News@nbcnews.com · 19h ago

Because of global cuts to foreign aid, the Gates Foundation has predicted that 2025 will be the first year this century where child deaths will increase.

It's actually the kids born into a hellworld and realizing there's nothing in this system for them who give me a bit of hope for the future. Most boomers, Xers, and millennials are cooked after too many decades of consooming to fight anything, I'm sorry to say.

They're even more unpopular than data centers.

AI is certainly unpopular but I think the “fascism! it’s great!” thing has a whole lot to do with this

people get intimidated by the social belief of "supporting the arts" as like donating $5,000,000 for a new wing at a museum or hosting some gala it's not. 10% of our audience throwing us $1.00 a month would literally be *life-changing* money most artists are in the same boat.

Sanctions from OFAC and the EU, FBI deployments, ASEAN declarations — and still the scam compounds move deeper into Myanmar and adopt AI tools, writes Laura Scherling. A 2026 OHCHR report finds them "still in place," more entrenched than ever.

When you play Big Walk you're exploring a real place. To capture that in the ambiences @househouse.com invited me on our own big walk through Wilson's Promontory National Park in Australia. Being there with the team was such a special experience, and a highlight in all my time at @ashellinthepit.com

We’ve just gone through ten years of hell to learn that we do live in a society and we do have an obligation to teach others when they are ignorant. So get out there and teach!

I feel like the one biggest mistake of Woke 1 was the statement “It’s not my job to educate you.” That is a valid “I feel” statement to tell your therapist but if you say that on the internet your readers will turn to Ben Shapiro.

I don't understand Kingdom Hearts but I love it when there's news about it because my friends who do know about Kingdom Hearts sound completely insane

Plenty to reflect about re: the Arday affair, but I'm going to repeat this one thing. The playbook the right used here is effective even though it's not especially sophisticated, as it relies on the audience to do the dirty work. I've been calling it "Trojan horse propaganda", let's go with that. 1/

I now want "indentured to train algorithms" on a t-shirt. It will go well with my guillotine t-shirt.

Also, "indentured to train algorithms" precisely describes what it's like to work in corp America right now, and why it feels so fucking demoralizing.

And in 2009 we taught the financial industry that if they commit fraud at sufficiently large scale they will not just go unpunished, they will be rewarded.

Baldur Bjarnason@baldurbjarnason.com · 21h ago

Your semi-regular reminder that given the size and extent of the “AI” bubble it’s an absolute certainty that fraud is involved. We don’t know the scale or location of the fraud but you simply do not get a trillion-dollar bubble without fraud, both financial and in information/discourse

A Professor can be hounded to death by the media for alleged plagiarism but tech companies can plagiarise on a worldwide scale and they’re left alone, celebrated for their “genius”…

As a person who was interviewed by NYT a week before Trump's second inauguration on his threats to independent news, I'm most terrified by my observation that there no longer seems to be a way for the public or rank-and-file journalists to stop or counterbalance the manipulation of public attention

Mark Histed@markhisted.org · yesterday

So in sum: I’d go so far as to say manipulating the public’s attention is THE major form of modern propaganda, it’s the key strategy of the rightwing media, and other outlets, from NYT to the Axel Springer Telegraph, do it too. We should pay a lot more attention to this effect. It’s powerful. /end

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

The broad inability or unwillingness for activist movements to retrospect on what does and doesn’t work is a dangerous shortcoming. Fascism has proven to be remarkably adaptive, perhaps because it has no actual ideology beyond hate, but that it learns from past failures is notable.
