I needed a good lol this morning. And as someone who doesn’t post a lot on here, this is even more hilarious

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 (!)

View of the living area in the tiny house on a sunny afternoon. There's a couch and coffee table, a bookshelf on the right, French front doors on the left, and a storage loft above. The ceilings and trim are all richly stained wood--decidedly cabin vibes.

View of the opposite end of the tiny house, including the dining bar, kitchen area, bathroom, and stairs to the sleeping loft. Again, very cabin-y. A full-size washer and dryer are visible in the bathroom.

View from the stairs of the sleeping loft. There's a queen size bed (pictured), and decent storage for clothes (not pictured).

Exterior view of the tiny house! It has metal skirting and steps, both included in the sale. Overall it's light gray with white trim and a dark gray roof, with lots of windows. The adorable twee cabin vibes continue.

Hey folks! I'm selling my tiny house, it's all prepped and ready for someone new to love it as much as I did.

If you're interested, please reach out, I'll leave DMs open for a while! Happy to answer any questions, and I've got a more detailed sales flyer I can share upon request.

We’re not the only target. Once we started looking into National Today, we realized that it’s doing the same thing to countless other publications, ranging from top newspapers to local newsrooms across the country: stealing their original reporting and using it to publish a torrent of what appear to clearly be AI-generated articles, complete with bizarre errors and hallucinations. The scope is immense. We tried to count how many it published in a single day, but lost count around 300.

The site’s theft is blatant. In a single article it published this week about writer and actress Lena Dunham, National Today plagiarized direct quotes from three separate interviews Dunham gave to prominent outlets — The New York Times, Vanity Fair, and The Guardian — without attributing any of them. In a particularly ghoulish example, last week National Today stole the work of Mellie Valencia, a reporter at the East Texas broadcaster KTRE who had reported out a heartbreaking story about a local mother whose 10-year-old daughter tragically passed away from a rare brain tumor in March. Despite the deeply sensitive nature of the reporting, National Today still spat out a plagiarized copy. “This is very upsetting to see,” Valencia told Futurism, adding that a “lot of leg work was put into the story and real human connections were made with the family — and to see it pulled and replicated… is sad.”

This is of course just one article, and we truly cannot stress enough how massive the scale is here. This site has plagiarized everything from major national/international outlets and pretty much any local outlet outlet imaginable. And the kind of content they steal really has no bounds:

From Futurism: "And yet, as of publishing this article, a functioning “welcome” page hosted by Medvi.org continues to prominently feature images of Medvi-labeled drugs — including a Medvi-branded bottle of oral tirzepatide tablets. Words on the bottle describe the tablets as “compounded medication” for “medical weight management.” But oral tirzepatide isn’t FDA-approved for weight loss. In fact, while injectable tirzepatide is FDA-approved — tirzepatide is the active ingredient found in Eli Lilly’s Zepbound shot — the tablet version of the drug has no proven benefits. There’s no evidence that it’ll actually help buyers lose weight. “Why don’t I just compound a little piece of cardboard and give it to you?” Dr. Jon Slotkin, a neurosurgeon and hospital executive at a large hospital system in Pennsylvania, told Futurism of the dubious compound. “There is exactly as much human data published that oral tirzepatide will help you lose weight as there is published data that compounded cardboard in a little tablet will help you lose weight. They’re identical in their amount of evidence.”

From National Today: "AI-Powered Drug Marketer Medvi Responds to Allegations of Fake Doctors and Patients Medvi's response raises more questions about its marketing practices and FDA compliance."

From National Today: In February 2026, Medvi LLC was issued a warning from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for misleading consumers on its Medvi.io website. In December 2025, the FDA warning said Medvi.io was in violation of FDA guidelines. The players Medvi LLC A drug marketing company that effectively operates as a wrapper for telehealth companies, prescribing and fulfilling orders for GLP-1 agonists and other compounded drugs. Matthew Gallagher The 41-year-old founder of Medvi. Dr. Jon Slotkin A neurosurgeon and hospital executive who commented on the dubious nature of Medvi's compounded oral tirzepatide product. What they’re saying “Why don't I just compound a little piece of cardboard and give it to you? There is exactly as much human data published that oral tirzepatide will help you lose weight as there is published data that compounded cardboard in a little tablet will help you lose weight. They're identical in their amount of evidence.” — Dr. Jon Slotkin, Neurosurgeon and hospital executive

This website, National Today, is truly insane. We first noticed it because it was ripping us off -- excerpt from our original story is on the left, the NT version is on the right. Absolutely 0 attribution:

A Prominent PR Firm Is Running a Fake News Site That’s Plagiarizing Original Journalism at Incredible Scale A PR firm is running a strange AI-fueled plagiarism mill that's ripping off — and mangling — a huge amount of local and national reporting.

NEW: A PR company is operating a bizarre fake news site that's plagiarizing original journalism at a massive scale -- all while spewing misinformation, publishing hallucinated quotes, and replacing real people’s names with “Jane Doe.”

Also: it misquotes the Pope.

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr

1. barely works
2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate)
3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment

Thank you for this!! Saved me like $150!

Google, Microsoft, Meta All Tracking You Even When You Opt Out, According to an Independent Audit “This is the Strait of Hormuz in the data economy. If you want to make a change, this is where you cut it off. Anything short of that is theatrical political posture.”

Blacksky Algorithms' Policy Towards Agentic Coding We want to be specific when we talk about how Blacksky uses AI.

As promised, we’ve created a policy document outlining our thoughts on AI and agentic coding (AI for software development). We’re releasing a vote later this week for Blacksky community members to offer their feedback. We look forward to hearing from you all.

Co-sign. If you like good novels, if you like good space race novels, and especially if you ever liked For All Mankind, as @sepinwall.bsky.social said, you neeeeed to read the Lady Astronaut books. I love em, for all sorts of reasons, esp for the unexpected character arcs 💫 🚀

He has risen!

I have seen this movie exactly one time. I can still see several of the scenes in my mind. I am someone who will keep slasher films on as background noise but can’t bring myself to be re-traumatized by this film.
