A modest proposal:

This culture has normalized talking about and coping with panic attacks and anxiety attacks.

We need to normalize being able to talk about sudden grief attacks.

Data center ban on the Ohio ballot? Petitioners get approval to start gathering signatures • Ohio Capital Journal Ohio Residents for Responsible Development can start collecting signatures to get a proposed constitutional amendment to prevent new, large data centers in Ohio on the November ballot.

Yes and in my research on data center organizing I stumbled across a potential ballot initiative against it in Ohio too!

In 2023, Governor JB Pritzker was joined by Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, advocates, and lawmakers at the Harold Washington Library to sign legislation outlawing book bans in Illinois.

Illinois made history as the first state to outlaw book bans once and for all.

Marginalizing people, ideas, or facts has no place in our state — and they have no place in a democracy.

This National Library Week, we continue our commitment to free thought and free speech.

previous thread: imo it can be tweaked for drawing too.
pick up your tools: a tablet/pen, a sketchbook & pencil, a napkin & sharpie, whatever. draw trash. or a stick person/creature taking out the trash.

Perform an anti-ritual. Pick up whatever writing instrument you prefer: a pen, pencil, computer, notebook. It does not matter. Title your piece "shit" or "this is shit." Vomit whatever comes to mind—self doubt screeds, a sudden passage of beauty, the word "fuck" in ALLCAPS repeated 1000 times.

We won.

Tesla Chicago is closed.

Their new location is in a ghost town. They sacrificed visibility to thousands/day--& proximity to the other luxury car dealerships--to get away from us, because we'd turned their brand ambassador location into a liability.

Some people have misunderstood this.

We literally saw how Claude itself, coded by Claude, turns one API call into a DOS of thousands upon thousands of API calls done in the sloppiest fucking way possible.

This postmortem shows Bluesky vibecoded a function to DOS itself, in a similarly stupid way.

The Robert Johnson recording in question. It’s so clear I feel like I time-traveled.

China Lifts Green Push With Plan to Double Clean Energy by 2035 China will seek to double its supply of non-fossil fuel energy by 2035, in a plan that analysts see as a boost to Beijing’s green targets.

If you are worried that China is beating us, then take a look at this. China is investing heavily in renewable energy. The USA is fighting all forms of green energy.

Reducing dependence on fossil fuels, and diversifying our energy sources could help us get ahead.

It could prevent wars over oil.

This article is really embarrassing.

It's entirely focused on technology-as-nostalgia and not the fact that every modern device wants you to constantly pay a rental fee in some form or another.

If I'm listening to MP3s on a Diamond Rio there is exactly zero chance it will ask for a credit card.

i hope you have a good one, despite the rude awakening
