Google forced to halt work in Finland after illegally clearing 250,000 trees for a new data center, according to the Guardian.

[SmilodonnaVT 🍗 Partner plus push! @SmilodonnaVT]

it's worse than that. google cut down the forest WITHOUT A PERMIT because they know they're too big for small countries like ours to fight. they got off with a "oops haha sorry lol"

[Samuel Deats 🌕 @SamuelDeats]

For AI fucking data centers. Destroying the planet so people can ask a chatbot the fucking weather. Or to write a fucking email. Or to steal our children's future. Or so an AI agent can hack your bank account.

What a horrific disgrace to our planet.

The guy who directed the killing of 250.000 trees in Finland for Google now with a nopology + "We don't think it would be useful to start debating this publicly."

Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants data centers in space. Nobody wants humanoid robots or flying cars.

We want clean water. We want a stable climate. We want a habitable planet. We want wildlife to survive. We want to live.

It's 400,000 trees and not reportedly. They did.

56 million square feet of forest. There needs to be public beheadings.

Getting someone’s #pronouns right is the simplest way of being an ally! If you’re not sure which pronouns to use, politely ask. #PronounsDay #transgender #nonbinary #trans

@maryarchived God y'all are so jealous and insecure it's pathetic.

She's successful and gorgeous and you're not. Go to therapy instead of attacking someone who's way out of your league anyways.

[Ari Drennen @AriDrennen]

I need you to accept that this is never, ever going to stop. The mass panic is over. Everyone knows trans women exist now, and well-adjusted people do not care. Your bigotry will age like all other bigotry. Your children already find it mortifying.

[PinkNews @PinkNews]

It really is that simple.

[‏ً @justjargons]

I don’t think people understand that global warming doesn’t mean “no cold weather ever.” It means a warming planet destabilizes weather patterns, causing more extreme weather. This has been explained for decades and people still don’t get it.

What about yesterday when three children never came home from school because they were shot dead?

Every threat becomes another entry in the
case for queer visibility. You wanted silence;
you handed us evidence. The lambda stays
visible. So do we. 🏳️‍🌈
