Does anyone else ever stop to think that maybe addiction is so rampant in America because we’ve created an unbearable reality for so many people

I don’t know who needs to hear this but if the government has the power to freeze your personal financial accounts simply because you express a political opinion that they do not like, then you are neither free nor living in a democracy.

Bees are responsible for pollinating about one in three bites of the food we eat. They’re far more important to humans than any AI tool or data center. Please protect the bees.

It seems like we are experiencing a lot of health issues related to dirty water and air. We should set up some kind of a national center for preventing and controlling diseases to address this.

Unpopular opinion: The fact that they can quickly install data centers nationally means they could've been updating infrastructure which they claimed was too difficult and expensive.

Default settings are a form of governance. Most people do not actively choose surveillance, subscriptions, data sharing or endless notifications. They inherit the architecture selected for them, then mistake the path of least resistance for personal preference.

If you’re wondering how Hitler actually took over Germany you are seeing a lot of the signs here in so far as liberals and others siding with the open fascists in an effort to maintain their own power and control with the hope of crushing their democratic socialist opponents.

AMAZING: 48-90% of species now at extreme risk of extinction within decades (not millennia) and.. nobody seems to know

[Hěn⭒🕷⭒ @HenXin3]

The gradual loss of freedom will always be marketed as “for your safety”

[Papii🥤 @ammalusty]

why does no one care about the fact that we're projected to run out of clean drinking water by 2039 because of how much water ai data centers use please stop using chatgpt y'all, i beg. you do not need a shitty looking cartoon of yourself, i promise. the planet is dying.

[erin @maizie_star]

it really is feeling like we just hit one of those climate change tipping points they warned us about

[Ben See @ClimateBen]

in case you missed it

[kira ☕️ @kirakissaten]

it genuinely pisses me off so bad how nonchalant people are about AI. we’re in a bubble in our online spaces but out in real life? everyone is casually using it for the most basic tasks. it’s pathetic. these people are pathetic.

[optimistic nihilist @twilightIuv3r]

Woke up and immediately started crying about climate change because what the fuck are we even doing as a species like seriously what is our goal

[keel🌦 @keelyclove]

i hate golf courses i hate data centers i hate health insurance companies i hate how everything is gambling i hate that we can’t each fresh veggies right now i hate how every game costs 70 dollars and it’s SO FUCKING HOT OUTSIDE

[gha*da 𓋹 @ghayo0da]

Casually living through a climate catastrophe, a recession, and multiple wars and genocides. There’s nothing else that capitalism promised us, this is late stage capitalism. This is the only thing it would’ve ever been.

New from JAMA-NO: Child birthday parties spread COVlD to grandparents.

I have warned that children will someday piece these facts together.

[𝒢𝒾𝓁𝒷ℯ𝓇𝓉 @AbakpaJob]

We cannot have sustainable energy because it threatens the oil industry. We cannot have healthcare because it threatens insurance. We cannot have peace because it threatens the weapons industry. Capitalism built a system where doing the right thing is treated like bad business.

It’s actually so lovely how we have wildfire smoke every summer. This never happened when we were kids or when our parents were kids but it’s just like normal now 😍😍😍
