No, I am fine. I am just disgusted with everything.

Kills me too.

Don’t forget!

My beige flag is I like to eat corn chips straight out of the bag with nothing on them.

Instant cure for imposter syndrome here y’all!

I think this is true, but I also think that most of the public is going to miss that this happened at all, so I would share the fact that Bezos has assumed full control to use his paper as an outright propaganda machine as far and wide as you can in your personal networks wherever they are.

TIL about hyperobjects and apparently everything terrible is a hyperobject. - global warming - plastic - nuclear radiation - generative AI - and more yay.

AI is not skynet or the Terminator or things from the movies. It's folks getting or not getting a job because of AI discrimination. It's carbon emissions going up or down. It's the choices of people, people you know, maybe you. We need policy to ensure that those choices guide toward good outcomes.

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

I’m starting to see otherwise careful outlets whose reporting I really appreciate & admire refer to Starlink as a whole separate business run by Musk. Folks, it’s part of SpaceX and you should NOT make that mistake.

If you didn’t think this administration was declaring war on the American people, here’s more proof.

Happy fake holiday weekend to all who celebrate. It’s a two-fer!

This plantar fajitas is really pissing me off.

Huh so if the states weren’t united, what country would you choose? Minnesconsingo! Or maybe Carolinaga!

jesus christ just tell us if it’s maybelline

Every time they get access to a new agency or office, I’m reminded of what it was like to live in a country that was safe and I didn’t have to worry about maniacs fucking with literally everything. What was that life?

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy. The state went a record 98 of 116 days providing up to 10 hours of electricity with renewables alone. grist.org/energy/calif... #Energy #CA #California #Renewables #Solar

the fucking enforcement arm of the federal government is launching a war on integration an effort to push tens of millions of americans to the bottom of an arbitrary hierarchy of value and yeah, it pisses me off to see nominal allies say “oh yeah maybe they have a point”

Getting a bit in my feelings with the #Leopards.

dismantling our democracy in exchange for cheap egg but now there is no egg anywhere egg and democracy are both gone

Update for Federal career civil servants from former DOE Chief of Staff Tarak Shah: “Federal employee unions have filed a lawsuit to cancel the deferred resignation program entirely.” If you are a Federal employee considering resigning, please read Tarak’s post: medium.com/@tarak.n.sha...

One of the cruelest things about the NSF/NIH situations is that federal funders have been asking for acknowledgment about disparate impacts, inequality, etc. for years. To get a grant at all you had to (rightly) address those things. Now is the punishment for both caring and following the rules.

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

RFK Jr looks and acts exactly like the guy in a zombie film who's desperately trying to hide the fact that he was infected from the other survivors.

Disabled people. Mad people. Trans people. Gay people.

I was not able to successfully pitch this piece to any other media outlets so I posted it to LinkedIn lol. humiliating but I just want people to read it. thanks to everyone who tried to make connections.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

If you create your own content or need a home for your biz on the internet, you need to make YOUR OWN WEBSITE. Doesn’t have to be fancy, but you do have to own that domain hunny.

FYI, the average US diet requires about 2 acres of agricultural land (cropland + pasture) per person per year. So for a family of 4, that would be about 8 acres. Food production requires a lot of land. (It’s less if you eat more plants/fewer animal proteins than avg American, but it’s still a lot.)

I would really like to not see trump’s face anymore, kthx.

Here is a nice mushroom

China's DeepSeek model is 14 cents per million input tokens and OpenAI’s o1 is **$15** per million input tokens. It was already losing money lol. It lost $5 billion last year. And that's what I was talking about earlier, US AI companies have no moat.

So can we have our US energy grids back, then? It may be too early to tell, but I’m starting to think China’s gonna win the 21st century.
