El-Sayed: "Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can make himself feel a little more manly by making an AI video ... he's a guy who went back to Florida so he could lick every single boot Donald Trump owns to bet for his endorsement."
Every single person in this administration is an utter embarassment

The Archive but it's a videogame from 1998.
We've survived the entirety of human history without data centres. We can't survive more than a few days without clean drinking water.
*Tyumen is a big town, bigger than Turin. The river flooded, there's a greenhouse heat wave. "Go ahead, drink the nice sewage, it's perfectly safe." That's when you taste the bitter truth about a grandiose denial that's much bigger than you are meduza.io/en/feature/2...
‘It reeks, pardon me, of shit’: A Siberian city spent two weeks with sewage-smelling tap water while officials insisted that it was safe — Meduza
Since early July, prolonged heavy rains have raised the water level of the Tura — the river on whose banks Tyumen stands — by 2.7 meters (nearly nine feet). The water has flooded city streets and many...

"The EPA halted a study on gas stoves and asthma. But even partial results were striking." "Research that used a federal grant to pay for asthma patients to have their gas stoves replaced showed a dramatic fall in asthma attacks. The program was cut short after President Donald Trump took office."

my neighborhood 7-11 closed a couple years ago and tried to reopen but couldn’t get the permit approved because there’s a preschool next door and 7-11s sell alcohol (the previous permit was grandfathered in). i saw a fence going up around the lot recently and looked up what was moving in: a gun shop
Futurologically speaking, what does this portend for the USA? Good economic results, probably-bad environmental results.

Fun(?) thread of evidence the moon landings were not, in fact, faked, if you need to argue with dumbasses.
Chop Shop Studio 🇺🇸+🇺🇦@chopshopstore.bsky.social · 3d agoHey! When you see an artist at a festival who has THIS as a print they designed. Probably a good idea not to argue that the moon landing was faked. Dumbasses. #NASA #Apollo #fake #dumbasses #spaceArt #sciArt
I’m packing my pulps to move to California. This is a daunting task. To keep myself moderately entertained I am going to post 4 random covers from each shelf I finish packing until I’m done.
"He should not serve in the House of Representatives," said Ohio GOP Senator Bernie Moreno in a post on X. "I believe Max Miller needs to seek professional help to end the clear pattern of abuse he has left in his wake. I believe he should not be free to continue endangering others until he does."

“Sandwich guy case” “Harvard clawed frog embryo smuggling case” “Olympic canoeist reflecting pool vandalism case” “James Comey seashells Instagram post case” New rule: If the case sounds like a Mad Libs story, it’s probably about to implode.
Looking at this research, I wonder about comorbidity of Long COVID and COVID related cognitive disabilities with things like ADHD and other neurodivergences.
Princess Vimentin PhD | Cancer Biologist@princess-vimentin.bsky.social · 4d agoThe COVID brain fog explained. The COVID-19 virus binds to the ACE2 receptor to enter cells.

BBC News ran a special report on the current wildfires in Europe. The whole time there was this caption at the bottom of the screen: "Scientists say climate change fuelling fires." Say it you cowards: "Climate change fuelling fires" Don't make it seem like a thing some other people are saying.
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
So this wasn’t an act of domestic terrorism by Algaetifa? So weird.
Kristin Wilson@kristin-wilson.bsky.social · 5d agoGift link, because you’ll want to read this whole thing: In a 19-page filing, [Pirro’s] office undermined everything Trump has been saying about damage to the Reflecting Pool. “The damage was the result of a botched installation and not vandalism,” her office wrote in a motion to dismiss the case.
Extreme CLOSE-up because - that leafhopper tho! I'm sure some of that color is picked up from the garden hose (what Robber Fly is standing on) - but DAYUM! Wish I could ask the fly if it tastes like blue opal! #inverts #becurious
I used to do some work on the ethical use of satellite and drone imagery for aid and disaster response, and it is genuinely hard to express in words what a dangerous, stupid thing Google is doing by making it easy to use GenAI to create faked satellite imagery:
How to plant a nuclear plant in Iran
The question is: what on earth is Google doing?
