    I wonder what it’s like to be a Haitian living in Springfield right now, seeing people relentlessly posting uncritical memes about the former president’s racist lies, while various schools, businesses, and government offices are closed day after day due to threats of violence…

    Can’t log in anymore without seeing weird photoshops of cats and dogs being cooked and eaten. TikTok is covered in people dancing to remixes of Trump’s racist comments. I’m sure this is all helping /s








  • Between AI and shitcoin mining, these two “technology branches” already consume more power than all the green power added to the grid combined.

    I think you would be shocked if you learned what some other things in our world cost in CO2.

    The energy costs of cryptocurrency mining are easy to calculate because the system is extremely transparent. AI is a little muddier, but we know how much big tech is expanding data centers, and we know how many enterprise GPUs Nvidia sells, so we get a decent estimate.

    But these things don’t actually do as much damage as compared to other things. Imagine how much energy is used for Gaming PCs and consoles. It’s probably up there with Crypto and AI if you consider all running consoles and PCs, plus all the multiplayer infrastructure. But we don’t have numbers because this is hard to calculate.

    And then there’s stuff like personal automobiles, that completely blow these other things out-of-the-water.






  • Congratulations on being the right combination of passible straight, white, cisgender, male, and Christian to not worry about the consequences of another Trump term.

    The rest of us don’t have the luxury of purity-testing Harris because the alternative is a fascist who wants us dead.

    Regardless, the fact that old school Republicans are endorsing a Democrat over the fascist should serve as evidence that Trump is bad even for a Republican, but folks like you seem more interested in painting Harris as the more conservative candidate for some reason. It’s almost like you prefer Trump…
