cooling living space using zero or near-zero energy consumption options (like efficient building standards etc). Keeping people alive during heatwaves in a way that doesnt' fully rely on a complicated and vulnerable power grid saves lives, but also reduces the operation of fossil fuel plants

Climate pals, what are your favorite examples of actions that simultaneously reduce climate pollution and help us adapt to climate changes that we can no longer avoid? Joint Adaptation and Mitigation (JAM), if you will.

And I am planning moon factories powered by arachnoid robots.

Truly amazing how you can literally just say anything apparently

“Once AI has ‘squeezed out’ all the expert data from humans, it won’t need any more input from humanity. That is the time AIs will start just self-evolving by themselves. Right now, the human is the bottleneck.”

in 2016 Elon Musk said he would build a fully automated factory in Fremont, California for the upcoming Model 3 and he then spent on the order of $2 billion on production lines that didn't work, forcing Tesla to assemble cars by hand in a tent but sure, now he's gonna do it on the moon

Ben Shapiro probably does not know enough history to even know this, but the way he is talking about Muslims as a nation within the nation who can never be integrated is almost verbatim what European nationalists said about Jews in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.

honestly, we have no reason to believe that an actually isolationist, openly fascist white supremacist party wouldn't win Congressional seats or challenge the Presidency

For federal elections, splitting the GOP into two competing crank Nazi movements would be great for Democrats. At the state/local level, however, we'd be condemning large portions of the South and Midwest to governance by Crossfit George Wallace's.

"So he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video" is a direct callback to this image that deserves a second life in this campaign

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video. If you want a senator who's gonna lick some boots, go vote for Rogers. But if you want a senator who's going to stand up to Trump, you've got your option.

The co-founder of the 2024 National Uncommitted Movement, Abbas Alawieh, decisively won his primary to become a State Senator in Michigan. Abbas was endorsed by both Bernie Sanders and Gretchen Whitmer. Abbas Alawieh also privately met with former VP Kamala Harris last month upon her request.

Chinese viral AI videos are turning foreigners into villains, flooding Chinese social media. They depict foreigners as threats to China’s social, moral, and national order. Strong, confident Chinese people confront, violently beat, and humiliate them in defense of their country. See more below🧵

This reminds me how for many years one of the main ways Chinese have been discriminated in Japan was literally based on the accusation that Chinese are disordely, rude, & lack cleanliness and thus disrupt Japanese norms and public order.

Manya Koetse@manyapan.bsky.social · 2d ago

Many of the videos show foreigners engaging in uncivilized behavior and disrupting China’s cleanliness, etiquette, and public order. In these scenes, foreigners are portrayed as dirty, smelly, and disorderly. These videos predominantly feature Indian characters.

Happy National Oyster 🦪 Day. I don’t eat oysters here in landlocked Iowa because I value my life, but the word comes from the Greek ὄστρεον (ostreon). A couple of years ago, they found a # of oyster shells at Pompeii in the Blue shrine—oysters were used for mortar. hyperallergic.com/stunning-pal...

Oh my god I think I found the video.

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

I love that AI companies are all like "we just have a marketing problem" when regular people are having AI experiences like this all over the place every single day

Gotta love the “or stocks” part. Like Gemini realized its first answer was nuts so it tried to wedge in a better one.
