the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.

Even if that were true... hey Bobby, what's the second word in the phrase "sick people?"

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 (!)

charisma as a stat is dumb but if u do have it & u r doing it in a video game, it should determine the time limit u have to pick ur dialogue option so u can real time simulate social anxiety

"No one wants to work anymore," said the upper class, projecting.

Dying in office because you insisted on clinging to power until the very end instead of letting a new generation of leaders rise should be seen for the shameful, egomaniacal act that it is.

Reminds me of how my grandaddy used to sound while he was on O2 therapy.

From text message to executive order The rush to change the government’s stance on the substances, described by officials and advocates, offers a window into the top-down policymaking under Trump. Trump said he was called by Rogan and people who had taken psychedelics, who joined him at the signing ceremony, about the need to open access to the drugs. Rogan said he texted Trump about research around ibogaine, and the president’s response was quick: “Sounds great. Do you want FDA approval? Let’s do it.”

Expanding access to psychedelics for mental health seems like a good thing, but I gotta say I am not wild about this process.

if your stance is that you can never not vote for a political party no matter what they do or promise to do than you aren't actually an active participant in politics. you've declared yourself unpersuadable and safe, they never have to listen to you now.

Anyway, happy 80th birthday to the sweetest transvestite 👍

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Sleep studies bring something out in me

my biggest pet peeve around LLMs is when people (usually those invested in its success) call it “intelligent”. it definitionally, how it functions on a base level, is not intelligent. the way LLMs are built, it can never hit real intelligence. it’s just predictive

We should be learning from other countries...

this is really cool.

I think they had fried water at the state fair last time I went

Got the kind of anxiety where I'm probably gonna keep myself up all night thinking "what if I don't sleep right at this sleep study? Won't the doctors all point at me and laugh?"

conservative free speech is when they speak and you listen or suffer the consequences

That moment was incredible. Never has something made more sense while also making no sense whatsoever.

Was that the guy with all the Pepsi Max cans?

I'm telling y'all, it's not that hard to give up Amazon. costco.com is RIGHT THERE.

Everything reminds me of her

Could also be the general sense that the whole world is falling down around their ears. Global warming, ascendant fascism, AI coming to take all our jobs (allegedly)... Everyone's stressed the fuck out and the future looks dark. People need a reason to hope.

Oooo, never heard of pickled lemons but I'm intrigued

if you want a shot of optimism remember that ten years ago Victor Orban's position seemed unassailable and today he and his movement are failing.
