This is the first time in my life when it's actually fair to criticize the President for gas prices. I've spent so many years explaining to people that Presidents have pretty limited influence over the price of oil and that they do not have a magical lower-gas-prices button on their desk, I almost forgot that the President does actually have a raise-gas-prices button on their desk called "start a war with Iran for no reason"
I'm not a religious person, I don't believe in spiritualism or magic, but man I want this to be real.
nobody tells you this bc it’s stupid but the best thing to do while on your period is play the sims 4 on a laptop in bed. not only is the sims 4 more fun when you’re emotionally disregulated but the processing power required for the worlds least optimized & shittiest video game of all time will cause your laptop to actively try to kill itself and depending on your position while playing the 3000 degree nuclear meltdown occurring in your lap makes a wonderful natural heating pad.

Y'all are just absolutely committed to creating humor I cannot explain to my spouse, aren't you?
support your local libraries
between this and the library that did the "what would we grab in a fire" video (that later ironically actually had a fire), I think librarians promoting their libraries might be the funniest people on the internet.
reblog if you love archive of our own and how they firmly refuse to let censorship have any place on their platform
Hey.. uhm... how does one say this kindly
Its run by Zionists who actively suppresses Pro Palestinian content, i suppose thats a type of censorship
Theres also like rpf.. which in all honesty that should be censored idc, there is a place for archives of the heinous parts of life, but a public engagement board is not one of these
Your first point is a flat out lie and your second is stupid.
AO3 does not ban or suppress content for being pro Palestine. It bans fab works that solicit donations or includes donation links, regardless of cause, because that is expressly against the Terms of Service and a real threat to the archive's existence. It also bans content that is not fanworks, because it is a fanworks archive and posting non fanworks is also explicitly against the Terms of Service.
If you want to post a fic of blorbos from your shows going to a pro Palestine protest, you are allowed to do that. If you want to post a fic of blorbos from your shows talking about the history of apartheid in Gaza and the genocidal actions of Israel against Palestinians, you can do that. If you post a donation link, you will be told to remove it, because that's not allowed regardless of the cause it's for. This is because the archive's legal justification for why the works aren't copyright infringement hinges on fair use. Soliciting money from readers calls fair use into question and endangers the whole archive.
AO3 was created specifically to host content banned and purged from other fansites, including "the heinous parts of life." This includes RPF whether you like it or not. AO3 is also not a public engagement board. It's an archive. Seriously it's right there in the name.

Here’s the opposite story, though. With apologies because I don’t have the book in front of me, so I may get some details wrong, but I read this “Irena’s Children“ by Tilar J. Mazzeo.
Irena lived in Warsaw during the Nazi occupation, and dedicated her life to rescuing Jewish children from the Ghetto, and her story is complicated in a lot of ways but - well, this story isn’t actually about Irena, per se.
It’s about a bus driver.
It’s about a day when she’s traveling across town by bus with a very young Jewish child, and partway to their destination the child looks up and asks a question - in Yiddish. and the whole bus goes quiet, because everyone knows what that means. And Irena thinks, okay, we’re going to die here today.
And she’s running through her options - all of them bad - and suddenly the bus stops, and the bus driver announces that there’s been a mechanical failure and the bus needs to return to the depot immediately. Everyone off, please.
And she stands and goes to get off the bus and the driver says - not you two. Sit down. So she sits down as everyone else leaves, because, well, what else is she going to do? the options are all still bad, at this point.
and when the bus is empty the bus driver says,
“Where do you need to go?”
And then he drives them as close to their destination as he can, and lets them off, and drives away. And Irena lives, and the kid lives, and they never cross paths again.
So a janitor got three people killed, and a bus driver saved two lives - not to mention all the other lives indirectly saved because Irena was able to continue her work.
I think about that almost every day now, to be honest.
We can’t all be Irena. I couldn’t be Irena. She was in a unique place with very specific skills and connections that let her do what she did. I am just one mentally ill librarian. I can’t be her. But - I can be the bus driver. Or I could be the janitor. Because it doesn’t matter what your job is. It doesn’t matter who you are. In a world like this, every single one of us has the opportunity to do massive harm or massive good. We can save lives or end them.
And that’s scary. but it’s also very comforting? at least for me. Because at the end of the day it means this: no matter of how small and helpless and unimportant you feel, you’re never powerless in the face of great evil.
You can choose to be the bus driver.
$50,000 immediately dropped into my bank account wouldn't improve EVERYTHING but boy it sure would be a grand, sexy little start to a good, happy life path, don't you think

I just think "data center water usage should be federally regulated," while less catchy and less emotionally charged, is a stronger political stance than "fuck AI." Targets the systemic flaw rather than a product, you know?
AGREE But let's take it farther:
Data centres shouldn't be allowed in areas that experience drought or are Koppen classification B category (arid and semi-arid).
They should have federally regulated water usage and be required to have heat and exhaust treatment ON SITE
They should have daily penalties for failing to meet zero emissions targets scaled to their profit margin (i.e. a percentage rather than a set amount) THAT ARE ACTUALLY ENFORCED.
NO DEFERRED PROSECUTION AGREEMENTS. EVER.
They must show provenance for EVERY piece of art and writing in their data sets, and show that they have made contracts to use EVERY SINGLE ONE before they are allowed to use them. Hold them to the same standards as every other form of media.
They must inform the end-user about data privacy and that chatbots are not a substitute for therapy, research, programming, work, school, and are not to be used for anything but novelty.
All of this would severely hobble them and expose how much of a turkey GenAI actually is. I doubt they can make money off it without theft and lies. It's a very expensive toy.
i think that other people have access to an Energy source that i don’t but that’s okay i’m happy for them i do wish that was me though
It is more likely that they don't have a constantly-running ENERGY SINK that you do have - their energy costs are lower, so they have more left over for things and stuff.
I say this as a person with several constantly-running ENERGY SINKS that I am not able to turn off.
