You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.
Curry irresistibly breaking, sniggering before uttering “spaaayce” like a maniac will remain one of the greatest video game scenes
Fabulous game, brilliantly executed

I was there for the rise of the internet and smart phones, and they absolutely sold themselves. People took one look and got excited. There was no point, years into the smart phone, where companies were having to be like "you may not like the iPhone but it's here to stay so get used to it"

I love sharing numbers so here's a video of how much we spent to make Mythmatch.
I break it down by time, discipline, and funding source.

When preservation is caught in the crossfire, it’s not just libraries that lose—it’s the public’s access to history, knowledge, and truth.
The web shouldn’t disappear behind closed doors.

This is the first oil crisis in which clean alternatives to oil and gas — solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles and batteries — are both inexpensive and widely available.

Speed running the opinion section in that paper is an ingrained habit of mine for decades now. All papers clamouring for “balance” green light the most vapid garbage
Thankfully that article went digital first, so advance warning for likely Monday!
people "have money", in that they have income. but the number of people seriously burdened by their rent is the highest it's ever been. the cost of living is so much worse than it was a decade or two ago. I know multiple people making the most money they've ever made who are barely hanging on.
Cyberpunk is fun to watch but shit to live in.
I’d rather work towards a solarpunk future - filled with practical hope and working together.
A starfield filled with thousands of stars and shining clouds of dust. The Milky Way\u2019s elegant spiral structure is dominated by just two arms wrapping off the ends of a central bar of stars. Spanning more than 100,000 light-years, Earth is located along one of the galaxy\u2019s spiral arms, about halfway from the center. Credit: NASA
OH. MY. GOD.
THIS IS THE MILKY WAY SHOT BY THE ARTEMIS II CREW. LOOK AT ALL THOSE STARS!!!!
More gas = higher prices
More wind and solar = lower prices
This isn't difficult stuff
The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back

Fuck sake the parallel struggle my brain is having with ongoing events today.
This below being the jaw dropping amazing, reflective and emotional side, clearly
Motherfucker remains the carnival barker he has always been. "Exciting cliffhanger, tune in at 8:00 PM to find out what happens next."
UK BEV sales jump 24% year-on-year in March 2026, the first full month since US/Israel attacks on Iran
+47% PHEV in March (+47 YTD)
+22% BEV (+15 YTD)
+7% hybrid (+6)
-6% diesel (-10)
-11% petrol (-4)
Petrol/diesel have lost 5 points of mkt share in 2026 YTD, 7pts in March…
This is such a neat tool for #ArtemisII

Twinned with only just seeing the below post today
It shows.
Okay so here’s my actual Bluesky-is-dying hypothesis:
The entire web is dying. Users aren’t going from BlueSky to another site (x/insta/threada/tiktok). Users are going to chatbots.
I know traffic to news sites has cratered (like 90%). My hunch is traffic to all the social platforms is down too.
I’ve had my EV6 for a year now, it’s a first generation 77Kwh but it’s still fantastic. On occasion, I still get the fleeting temptation to kick myself for not taking the plunge sooner
Nothing bar the pipe dream capability to buy something exotic would make me go near ICE fuel ever again
Infuriating, obsessive phobia of new technology highly likely in the main because profit margins inferior part II
This global phenomenon genuinely pisses me off, irrespective of the current condition of the legacy fuel supply

It’s been many, many months of bluesky still not having 3 basic features:
1. Mute retweets per account
2. Images in DMs
3. Post editing
It’s really nuts to still not have these, as they have an enormous impact on the user experience
