I think we're probably less than a year out from the first person to lose their job because a robot started an online grievance campaign against them

WORKER WIN: A Maryland-based front desk staffing company will pay $400,000 for failing to provide paid sick leave. DC law requires paid sick leave, but First Impression Staffing denied it to hundreds of its DC employees. Workers should not have to choose between their health and their livelihood.
Okay so let them die
Charles EP Murphy@cepmurphy.bsky.social · yesterdaynews.sky.com/story/nhs-st... stereotypically this has been seen as Old People, but not only would the old people of now have often been born post-Windrush, lot of this will be younger people who've always lived in a diverse Britain. The guy with a pregnant wife likely millennial at oldest
a big reason why both the right and mainstream media made solyndra a cause celebre in the obama years is that big oil funds both and wanted to strangle solar in the crib bsky.app/profile/bile...
Stan Bileschi@bileschi.com · 2d agoThey didn't give Solyndra enough money
The biggest technological revolution of our lifetime and it has nothing to do with AI, crypto, metaverse, robots or any of the other massively hyped "tech" the media always talks about instead
Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 2d agoAbsolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West
it remains extremely funny that he was literal this tho
You city slickers could never pull off a look as iconic as this 1978 McDonald's cowboy hat and belt buckle combo...
Dentist said my teeth are haunted. A ghost for every tooth. Mostly dead perverts and Dutchmen. I held a small crucifix under my tongue as he injected holy water into my gums. Won't stop the hauntings but it will keep the ghosts from moving into my brain until we find a priest to make out with me.
its a huge win for the (correct) "stuff can just happen in movies it doesnt need to really make sense" philosophy but idk i also feel like it would also be a better movie if the stuff that happened in it made sense
Having slept on it, I still absolutely love the movie. “Our age of bronze is collapsing” may have been a bit clunky but I actually loved that entire speech, and how Nolan ended the movie. Drove home the point about xenia and breaking the social contract breaking the world.
The dunkelflaute problem in graph form.
Jesse@ember42.bsky.social · 3d agoHere is an interesting wat to visualize how well Wind and Solar can cover for each other. This is often pointed to as a reason they can be for almost all base supply. Data is For Ontario, and plots the daily average CF of each against each other across 2 years. 🔌💡
All nerd hobbies can have the social structure of their communities quantitatively measured with the Q:N (Queer to Nazi) ratio. Pokémon is 8:1. Warhammer is 1:1. Paradox Games are 1:1 but different from Warhammer because the queers and Nazis are the same people.
It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"
This Johnston bigot writes for “The Federalist,” named after a 1788 publication John Jay contributed to. In 1785 Jay said he looked forward to the time “when all our inhabitants of every color and denomination shall be free and equal partakers of our political liberty.”
Alexander Clarkson@aphclarkson.bsky.social · 4d agoAnother datapoint for the fascist radicalisation of institutional pillars of much of the American Right
People often write it off because it’s just *too* perfect but you know sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. Who knew there was actually a guy named Glupp Shitto and he would end up resolving the Rhodian civil war
HUH???....OH cause I thought a mf without the Thunderfury Blessed Blades of the Windseeker had said something.
I will never get over Tapper being presented with the actual, full-on conspiracy of silence irt Trumps health that he alleged existed around Biden and largely just shrugging at it.
WildPartyInviteDecliner@ratelimitexceeder.bsky.social · 5d agoI find interesting but not surprising that Trump's actual health is a black box in his inner circle. There's maybe like 5 people who know what's actually going on, and none of them are talking.
I can barely even process what this post is saying, it’s too big.
Nahel Belgherze@wxnb.bsky.social · 5d agoBordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.
Sometimes when doing genealogy research you stumble upon stuff that leaves you speechless.
if you want to see normally sclerotic do-nothing local governments suddenly snap into action, do some quietly beneficial tactical urbanism type thing like this and watch how quickly they race to remove it
wishda@wishda.bsky.social · 5d agoThe DSA in Wilmingotn, N.C. has created a "crisis" by putting benches at city bus stops, after literal decades of the city promising and failing to do so.
reupping my proposal to just hire Wesley Snipes and make OLD BLADE
Culture Crave 🍿@culturecrave.co · 5d agoMahershala Ali says he’s moved on from ‘Blade’ “I have moved on … I'm good … you had me under contract … if they wanted to do the movie, we would've done the movie. So we're not doing the movie … They didn't want to do it, so they should answer that question” (via GQ Magazine)
vader-skywalker denialists should be treated with exactly the same weight as historical jesus denialists we have two *adversarial* primary sources (501st journal, the peridean diary) attesting to “darth vader” being the same man as anakin skywalker, and a reliable secondary source (senate minutes)
Phizle@phizle.bsky.social · 9mo agoThe two even cross over, with professional podracer and former slave Anakin Skywalker somehow commanding in half the battles in the Clone Wars before later becoming a Vader. The accounts are clearly either pure fabrication or consolidating multiple individuals.
