the internet is a place for reading wikipedia articles and watching every movie for free. social media is an invasive species. never forget this

Human relationships are not transactional but they are reciprocal, which I think many of you with your ‘i don’t owe anyone anything’ shtick are too happy to forget

My Blind King

Actually one of my first attempts to draw Thorin. But it became a bit of challenge for me that I had to redo the whole thing.

I guess it came out alright…! (꒪¯꒳¯꒪)

I get it if you're not paying attention to the news. It's scary, it's exhausting, and a lot of people here are in particularly vulnerable demographics. So I'll just tell you, now is definitely not the time to stop pushing or despair.

Every major news outlet, including Fox and Newsmax, refused to sign Pete Hegseth's ridiculous demand for control over what they published from the Pentagon.

Many airports refused to air Kristi Noem's propaganda video blaming the govt shutdown on the Democrats.

Farmers are furious over the fallout from the trade war with China and now a huge bailout for their direct competitors in Argentina.

A judge in Chicago barred ICE agents from arresting people in court.

MIT, University of Pennsylvania, and a couple other schools have been the first to refuse the administration's ultimatum to either accept a complete govt audit of classes offered or lose federal funding, and we can hope others will follow suit.

The administration continues to lose legal cases regularly, and now the Attorney General of Arizona is threatening to sue Speaker of the House Mike Johnson for his continued refusal to swear in Adelita Grijalva, who was elected to the House in a special election nearly three weeks ago. She would make the last signature needed on a House petition to push the Epstein case to the next stage.

Steven Miller is selling his house in Arlington, VA and moving, because people kept writing criticism of him in chalk on the sidewalks. Lol.

There is blood in the water, guys. Don't stop pushing. Find your nearest No Kings protest tomorrow, and put the fear of the people in the hearts of some Republican governors and congressmen.

Verified: Microsoft 365 gets massive 45% price hike — and it's all to do with AI tools (Tom's Guide - January 17, 2025)

oopsie i tripped and spilled my link to archive dot org's downloadable copy of Microsoft office suite for 2007, which features no AI tools and is a powerful word processor that still holds up just fine on windows 10!

No one is safe until trans women are safe

Let me take this one step further:

I refuse to participate in queer spaces where trans women are not welcomed and celebrated.

I'd rather go hangout in my transfem friend's living room and cook her dinner.

Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.

Idgaf if you don't want to write essays for school. I don't care if you don't want to write corporate emails yourself. I don't care if you can't draw well, I don't care if you can't write well, I don't care if you just really really want to talk to your favorite fictional character but don't want to RP with a real person because you have social anxiety or whatever

If you're still regularly using generative ai, chatgpt or midjourney or character.ai or literally whatever the fuck, im personally blaming you when my utility prices start going up.

jay-wasreblogging

Why would utility prices go up because of ai?

(I am not defending the usage of generative AI/ChatGPT/Character.ai etc etc i am very much against it - I am just curious as to the correlation between using it and utility price surge please don't come at me this is a genuine question)

Happy to help.

ChatGPT uses so much energy that the US is literally reversing course on coal and gas usage to make up for it. In Santa Clara, for example, data centers used 60% of the ENTIRE CITY'S electricity.

ChatGPT uses 1-3 bottles of water for cooling for every query you put into it. This is FRESH WATER, which is evaporated and eventually mostly returns to the ocean, effectively removing a lot of it from our already dwindling fresh water supply on the planet. It also consumes 17 THOUSAND TIMES more electricity than the average American home.

The AI boom wastes so much electricity that we are very immediately risking US cities having to have rolling blackouts just to keep up with the energy demands, as early as NEXT YEAR

Gen AI's water usage is projected to hit 6.6 BILLION meters cubed by 2027

More AI use = more data centers = power drain on local cities = gas, electricity, and water utility prices rise because all of our resources are being funneled into a machine that makes garbage
