in retrospect maybe it was a mistake to tell young people that reading, the arts, the humanities weren’t important and that “learning to code” was sufficient for a good life.
Mark Zuckerberg recently built a MASSIVE data center for META in Georgia
- There are residential homes just hundreds of yards away
- It uses so much water, residents no longer have water pressure in their homes
- Their sink water no longer works
- Their toilets don’t fill with water
- Their homes physically shake from the constant new construction
- The data centers use so much power they often go without power
- The small amount of water they do get to their homes is full of sentiment
“It's overwhelming because you really feel like you are up against this huge wall that you can't penetrate. There's nothing that you can do and they don't care.”
no. the talented artists are explicitly avoiding and speaking out against genAI. it's actually like comically one sided how unified they are on this lol
im so tired of AI. restaurants have AI ads on billboards and my little cousins show me AI memes on tiktok and my friend treats chat gpt like her bestie and every trend on twitter is related to AI im so fucking tired of AI how can no one else see how bleak life has become
We live on a planet where food literally grows on trees, & water falls from the sky, but instead of cooperating in solidarity & mutual aid, so we can all enjoy this earthly paradise, we decided to create things like the 8 hour work day, credit scores, & school lunch debt.
Dictators in History:
- Hitler – “The good of the state stands above the law.”
- Mussolini – “Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.”
- Napoleon Bonaparte – “I am the revolution.”
- Francisco Franco – “I am responsible only to God and to history.”
Trump:
"He who saves his country does not violate any law"
One of the biggest misconceptions about capitalism is that it rewards intelligence. First & foremost, it rewards privilege (being born into wealth). Beyond that, it rewards ruthlessness, manipulation & anyone willing to exploit others. The working class is full of "smart" people.
This is horrifying - very painful to watch. This young Palestinian Muslim woman is in a sauna when she hears two people discussing ‘what to do with Gaza’.
She calls them out & the woman backtracks, claiming she meant to throw the ‘rubble’ into the ocean & that she doesn’t support Trump. Note you can hear her giggling and agreeing earlier with the man who said to “extend the country” by getting rid of Gaza.
Another man tells her to leave the country if she doesn’t like it while the original two tell her to leave the sauna & keep her opinions to herself.
Place your bets on who they, especially the woman, voted for.
This is absolutely insane.
If scientists aren't allowed to use the term "women" or "female" when applying for NSF grants, that basically rules out any human clinical trials of anything.
"Disability" is blacklisted too? There goes a lot of medical research.
amazing the guy could do 3 sieg heils on live tv and launch a transparently ideological attack on the liberal state, while saying 900 bigoted things a day, and still get the “cost cutting” treatment. He could get an SS tattoo on his forehead and NYT would say it meant Supply Side
