Memphis is being poisoned to power Grok regurgitating text statistically similar to the nazi propaganda it was trained on.
Btw: he only applied for a permit for 15 gas turbines, and then put at least 24 on site.

“…thermal images captured by Floodlight – and analyzed by multiple experts – show more than a dozen unpermitted turbines still spewing pollutants at the plant nearly two weeks after the EPA’s recent ruling.”
Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.
Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.
The Adventure Game Aptitude Test is the first of its kind, and the initial results are incredible. Only two people beat a three hour game without help

BREAKING NEWS: When asked by a reporter if he is qualified to lead the Department of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin replied "I understand your concern. It's true, I have never shot a dog. But I do believe I could kill one with my bare hands, and I am willing to prove this if given the chance."
There's been so much going on that I missed this story. WTF are we doing? @banditelli.org
“We are allowing the tech industry to consolidate this extraordinary degree of resources, unlike anything ever before."
Tech journalist Karen Hao sounds the alarm about the rising risks to the country—and planet—from the growth of artificial intelligence.
Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...
So I guess it was either World War III or drag queens reading books to our children.
Let this serve as a warning to Dems who abandon trans folks and vote for anti trans bills. You will be primaried, and you will lose.
But we can’t afford health care?

50000 soldiers are needed for operation “drone bait”
Your mission is to run around and distract the drones and missiles so they don’t destroy any equipment that we think is more valuable than your life
Godspeed!
Watch this.
19 minutes and $12 to get meds at a public Chinese hospital. Without insurance.

How I arrived on bluesky
President Macron: "The United States of America and Israel decided to launch military operations. They were conducted outside international law, which we cannot approve of. That said, history never weeps for the executioners."
A screenshot of a Google Finance chart for the S&P 500 index on March 3 at 9:48 AM EST. The line graph shows a steep drop from the market open, with the current value at 6,746.92, down 134.15 points or 1.96% for the day.
It's finally setting in to the market that Iran is choking off 1/5 of global oil supply and could choke off nearly 1/3 of global container traffic in the red sea. They can create a global energy crisis and shortage of basic necessities with asymmetrical means. There's no off ramp here.
You either believe in universal human rights, or you don’t.
A fossilized butt hole
I was showing off my rock collection to impress hot guys and thought that Bluesky also needed to see my most prized possession: a fossilized butt hole.
Vizzini says "You fell to one of the classic blunders! The most famous of which is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." The Princess Bride GIF.
Apparently our stable genius president has never watched The Princess Bride...
So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:
- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
There is no ethical way to use the major Al image generators. All of them are trained on stolen images, and all of them are built for the purpose of deskilling, disempowering and replacing real, human artists. - MOLLY CRABAPPLE, artist and activist

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this
If hundreds of dead Iranian children aren't enough for you to oppose Trump's illegal war, consider this:
For the same $210 billion price tag, we could end homelessness in the US permanently and still have enough money left over to feed every child in the United States for the next five years.
We really do need to hammer home reducing police budgets and using them to bolster teacher salaries immediately. The fact we have these massive goon squads playing candy crush all day at their jobs meanwhile teachers are having to get second incomes is frankly embarrassing as a rich country.

Hamish McKenzie Disiointed • Subscribe 1h Edited Hi everyone. Chris, Jairaj, and I wanted to let you know that we've heard and have been listening to all the views being expressed about how Substack should think about the presence of fringe voices on the platform (and particularly, in this case, Nazi views). liust want to make it clear that we don't like Nazis either-we wish no-one held those views. But some people do hold those and other extreme views. Given that, we don't think that censorship (including through demonetizing publications) makes the problem go away- in fact, it makes it worse.
NEW: Substack founders finally respond to Substackers Against Nazis. They say Nazis publishing and earning money on their platform is fine with them.

A conversation earlier today reminded me of this slide I put into a recent talk. How did we decide the tiny human-sized machine is the special case, and the massive overpowered machine full of empty furniture is the norm?
