gummy smears the rear bumper where the Stick Figures Family bumper sticker used to be, paint stripped off where the Wife was because he scrubbed extra hard
Catbus@catbus.phd · 2d agothis dude was driving a Dodge Charger with Thin Blue Line & Punisher skull bumper stickers, so I actually have a good idea of his battles (family court, Woke)
I am perfectly open to the idea that some of the data center panic is overblown, what I am telling u is I don’t care
Big day for the "there's no meaningful way to meddle in US elections" crowd, give yourselves a hand.
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 4d agoThis is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.
I swear to God, like 80%+ of profs will (rightly) spit venom at the industry capture of higher ed, but the second you suggest these problems persist because academia itself may be broken they start sounding A LOT like the university administrations that want to obliterate them.
It's crazy funny that blue states were early to the Flock concerns and then the idea of trashing Flock got so popular that red states immediately started banning them while blue states are STILL debating the merits. Overthinking-ass states, just do the thing! Ban em!

You can't reform this, you can only tear it down and salt the earth where it stood.

Do this regularly until election day. Also consider keeping screenshots as proof.

Mystery solved: the Freedom Fuel Network was able to charge so little for gas because it stiffed its supplier and refused to pay for it
Trump lauded low prices at Freedom Fuel. A supplier says some gas wasn’t paid for.

Welcome to Bluesky. Please familiarize yourself with the following accounts to understand the range of opinions it is acceptable to express
If you're in Texas, check that voter registration ASAP, keep checking it every two or three weeks til election day, and save proof. There's a decent chance you'll be suing the shit out of Texas/ the feds someday in the near future and laughing all the way to the bank.

wellp, I guess that means NATO countries ought to harden their defenses immediately
Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com · last wk.President Donald Trump said he does not believe Russian President Vladimir Putin will attack NATO members, as tensions rise in Europe over Moscow targeting countries that supply weapons and money to Ukraine
Hot take, but this is probably a good thing. There should never have been a single federal force tasked with protecting such a large swathe of federal property and employees. That was one of the things that contributed to DOGE being able to sweep into buildings unobstructed.
I've been tasked to cover data center issues at work recently and I've learned some interesting things about data centers' environmental impacts that I thought I'd share Some really unexpected stuff beyond the energy/water stuff most people know about at this point
the US doesn't have rural poverty quite at this level anymore, but it will still SHOCK you sometimes. The saddest memory I have recently is from a few years ago when I stopped in a bombed-out shack town for fast food on a road trip, with a clearly dying 60/yo woman gasping for breath at the window
paul khruangbin (Dan Lehner)@danlehner.bsky.social · last wk.Parton was really one of the last people who lived through a type of rural poverty we just don’t have anymore. she was born in a one-room shack in a town of less than 500 people. the doctor who delivered her was paid in cornmeal. her father couldn’t read.
this is like in Roller Coaster Tycoon when you'd add salt to the fries and to make people drink more, then you'd jack up prices for drinks and the bathrooms.

We've decided 9-25 is Dolly's day. We have a month to prepare, and to make this a National if not Global celebration of the best of humanity. Repeat, share, and prepare! Organize a block-party, write a poem, buy some books, sing some music...come together and be good to each other for a day!
Ah, I see we're doing an Age of Wolves. What could go wrong.
If you AI Dolly Parton you WILL be drawn and quartered in the Bluesky town square
