That's roughly the equivalent of the daily water use of 25,000 to 100,000 people, in a county with a population of 35,000.

one google data center in virginia
two million gallons of water per day
information only released under court order & risk of contempt
Reminder that the 'lesbian domestic violence rate' statistics? The perpetrators are men.
BLUESKY POSTER: And I hope you die
BLUESKY EMPLOYEE: I hope we both die
Now you have to refuse to vote for any new appointee, and immediately impeach any new secretary that is confirmed.
Being on the Trump cabinet is an impeachable offense.
You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online.
Full stop.
"Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name
We have to stop this.

Working on a q&a lecture for a class today: The story of robots is always a story about slavery. The story of LLMs labeled as AI is a story about class, and which humans pay the cost, including the physical toll on their bodies/minds, and the lack of water and electricity, so data centers can exist.
They know that many people in the US will accept the killing of civilians overseas but will draw the line at high gas prices.
Once again begging people to stop using the term CSAM to refer to content that does not include images of real children or their likenesses.
The whole reason we have that term is to identify content that features actual children so the appropriate steps can be taken.
Women: We live in a constant state of vigilance because men pose a constant threat to us, here are literally millions of corroborating stories.
Men: What a scary time for men this is.
No normal medical, legal, or political process has ever gone from saying more evidence of benefit is needed to bans or restrictions. That's supposed to be a conversation patients (or parents) have with doctors. (The conspiracy theory on trans care says docs can't be trusted, again w/ no evidence.)
There's another dynamic going on, which no one in the mainstream press I've seen has touched (though @polgreen.bsky.social got closest), and that's the fact that it is unprecedented to ban or heavily restrict a treatment on the basis that the evidence isn't high quality enough.
ACAB includes means testers
love to see mainstream media wondering, for the first time, whether Christians might not have good intentions and whether political and supremacist slogans might, in fact, be political and supremacist

our whole thing's whole shit is wholly busted and if this isn't something you've considered before, you'll have to consider it at some point when it turns to you, so take these opportunities to consider it. collaboration is designed to be the easy reflex default, so make your call now. and act on it
the ones who won't do it gleefully will do it for money, and that is literally the point of capitalism and its white supremacist scaffolding. they manufactured a system of constant debt to put you in it and they put you in it to make you do what they tell you because they know you wouldn't otherwise
we've always done this to Black people, we've always done this to immigrants, we've always done this to the nearly 1% of our population we've incarcerated, we've always done this to the global south. it is the entirety of what we do. we are a machine set up for this; this machine makes fascists.
perfect representation of the vicious asininity of our persecution and the banal mechanisms of its implementation: these regular-ass people, the staff at the dmv, dutifully inflicting whatever absurd degradation they're told, no matter how blatantly, cruelly pointless. would you do that? will you?
The biggest threats we face aren't from those who openly seek the destruction of trans lives — dangerous as they are — but from the many, many more who will readily carry out whatever they say.
Every cis person needs to ask themselves that question.
Would you do that? Will you?
Alex @alex.bsky.team • 2h our userbase is already conspiracy brained enough about our rationale for suspensions without us making it this easy for them to accidentally entrap themselves
Uhhhmmm don’t love a Bluesky dev publicly calling the entire user base conspiracy brained.
If Bluesky users are prone to conspiracies @alex.bsky.team it’s because y’all place no value on communicating and don’t give people enough information, forcing them to come to their own conclusions.
"y'all cain't get there from here"
one retired as a plant foreman at the local chemical plant after a life running from home in Alabama by lying about his age to be a naval cook during WWII and being discharged after, let's say, physically disagreeing with an officer
the other retired as a truck driver after farming in Maine
I think that every mention of this war should begin with the fact that we intentionally targeted 160 little girls to die at school. Like I am simply never going to get over this. It’s how we started this war. That’s never gonna fade away.
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...
It's not that AI is useless.
It's that AI is useful like asbestos was useful.
it’s incredibly concerning that doomsday believing evangelicals have won control of the government
GenAI can ONLY fundamentally on its core level "hallucinate," an ableist sanist inaccurate word for what is truly just "fucking lie" it can ONLY role play it CANNOT EVER BE TRUSTED TO ACT IN THE SELF INTEREST OF ANYONE WHY DO WE HAVE IT ESPECIALLY IN ELEMENTARY, MEDICAL, AND LAW SCHOOLS
The fundamental problem with genAI is EVERYTHING it does is role play
Ask it to add numbers and it acts like how it thinks a calculator acts
Tell it to write u a CV and it acts like how it thinks LinkedIn acts
Tell it you're going to blow up an airport to get it a body & guess what it says good
They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that
