Woooow that's amazing and awful

A black Labrador chews a stick with a look of great pleasure on his face.

X-rays from that same Labrador indicating trouble with his knee joints.

I had to drain the majority of my 401k account to pay for my service dog's surgery, and then the surgery didn't even happen because they need to figure out why he's anemic. That's going to cost more money as well.

Anything helps. Thank you!

New Gas-Powered Data Centers Could Emit More Greenhouse Gases Than Entire Nations A WIRED review of permits for data center projects using natural gas and linked to OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, and xAI shows they could emit more than 129 million tons of greenhouse gases per year.

NEW: I've been shocked by some of the numbers I've been seeing on behind-the-meter power plants for data centers, so I did a little math.

less than a dozen gas plants being built to power data centers for big tech companies could emit a maximum of nearly 130 million tons of CO2e each year (!)

I think a compromise might be had if cities could elect to have a direct relationship with the Feds, removing themselves from state governance, and obligating the Feds to take the city's side in a dispute. Until then, lol eat a soggy dick, cowpies don't vote!

It is functionally the collective "id" and it is populated entirely by people who will just keep pushing until they are stopped. All rules of fair play are, to them, just exploits.

We are trapped in prisoner's dilemma with them and they will always defect until they are defeated.

trying to undo the lessons of the 30 Years War, to own the libs.

Virginia chose to be a Blue state.

Honestly, I'm kinda excited to see how low it can go. Bush had much less time left in his administration by the time he was in this deep.

still not over how we have confirmed proof via leaked documents that the SCOTUS shadow docket is a complete farce where the FedSoc justices get to unleash their unbridled political opinions and remake the American legal & economic system however they & their rich friends like

When they've chosen friend-enemy politics, those are the politics we have now. We don't get to opt out. We just have to win, beat them until they stop moving, and then we can have a normal democratic conversation again.

No we should definitely tilt the playing field against the fascist party. There's a pretty strong case that we should de facto ban the Republican Party.

its absolutely incredible watching people not realize the stakes watching DOJ being weaponized against SPLC and not realizing that its basically an existential fight for the republic now

I got stuck on one of the puzzles. :(

We have had HRT for decades--DECADES--and now there is a movement to try and undo that forever, and every time I think about it directly, I want to scream. We literally just wanted to live as equal members of society. That's all we wanted, and they're doing a genocide about it.

We don't often see clearly what is taken from us by long copyright terms, but imagine this: a massive cross-over story featuring colorful characters from all over, told by someone who actually knows what they're doing and gives a damn, instead of by corporate committee. It could be amazing.

Of course, the article also doesn't mention that this was done in service of banning trans people from public spaces.

Instead, they let the legislator run wild saying this about "men" in women's locker rooms and "protecting children's innocence."

This is how gender fascism advances.

Critics of new bill say Ohio women would be banned from sports bras, bikinis in public 'The peak of fear mongering.'

Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.

HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.

(10)(12) "Nudity," "nude," or "state of nudity" means the showing of the human male or female genitals, pubic area, vulva, anus, anal cleft, or cleavage with less than a fully opaque covering; or the showing of the female breasts with less than a fully opaque covering of any part of the nipple.

(12)(14) "Seminude" or "state of seminudity" means a state of dress in which opaque clothing covers not more than the genitals, pubic region, and nipple of the female breast, as well as portions of the body covered by supporting straps or devices.

In addition to the made-up category of "seminudity," HB 249 also expands the definition of "nudity" to include "cleavage" and uncovered "anal cleft"

I dunno. Maybe the journalist could have quoted the bill rather than bothsidesing it.

Just found out Starlink satellites only last about 5 years before they're pulled down to burn up in the atmosphere (leaving toxic metals in the air). Our convenience culture has reached the level where we now have disposable satellites.

And Musk wants to launch a *million* data centre satellites.

We should be allowed to speak to a human when we call a customer support number. This should be our right under the law. Fuck this computer voice that doesn't understand what you need shit.

In my experience, the gays who were active in the gay rights movement support trans rights now.
The gays who stayed home and scolded the activists for stirring things up are the ones who are now trying to ditch trans people.

Virginia Woolf, more than a hundred years ago:

everyone please stop calling ai glasses the "pervert glasses". this is appropriation of swirly glasses from pervert scientist women

A Dreadnought adaptation, obviously

Montana courts are surprisingly excellent.

The physical action of 9/11 happened basically according to the official narrative. Yes, even WTC7-it got hit with a hundred tons of flaming rubble, burned for six hours, and was visibly slumping when it collapsed.

The fuckery, if it exists, will be in the lies about who knew what and when.

Donald Trump conspired with Jeffery Epstein to traffic and sexually assault minors, and is now being blackmailed by foreign powers with proof of that behavior.

It will be extremely interesting to see what institutions like Fenway Health and NYU Langone do now. The ostensible reason for their ending of youth gender care is now gone - will they resume care for all the trans kids they abandoned?
