Are you aware that AI has an extremely high energy cost? Experts project the AI data centers in the USA will consume 6% of the country's total electricity by next year (ls.wisc.edu/news/the-hid...). How many idle google searches do you do in a day? I know I do A Lot. That shit adds up

I don't know why I wrote my bio like that

But anyway, Forged Bonds!!

Forged Bonds @forgedbondspod.bsky.social · 17d

While this is Hyacinthus and Apollo's story, we do need to take a step into Apollo's past to tell it- which means we get to have the effervescent @bonthemightybon.bsky.social as Daphne!

A picture of Bonnie Calderwood-Aspinwall in a heart made of chain links with two daggers through it. Below the picture is text reading “Bonnie Calderwood-Aspinwall as Daphne” in cursive font. To the right is their bio in a printed font. “Bonnie (they/them) is a reclusive bookrangler by day, stealth troubadour by night. You can catch their voice in The Attic Monologues, Do You Copy? and Re: Dracula, among other places. When they're not lurking in the stacks or yelling at no one in a cupboard, you can likely find them chasing a whim five miles down a frenzied research rabbit-hole, or they've retreated to post-whimsy seclusion to convalesce, in which case you simply won't find them at all. Come scream into the void with them on Bluesky @bonthemightybon.bsky.social”

I'm back! My workaround hasn't been working super reliably lately — seems like Google might be retiring its Web filter?

But fret not, I've created another! This link just adds " -AI" to all your search queries automatically:

Stay frosty out there, folks

Would also love it to include the full instrumental introduction 🙏🏴‍☠️🚩✊

Bonnie Calderwood Aspinwall ✨ VA/fool @bonthemightybon.bsky.social · Sep 9

If so, can we please get a cinematic cut with the full score? (I need it for my "people's uprising" playlist)

Bonnie Calderwood Aspinwall ✨ VA/fool @bonthemightybon.bsky.social · Sep 9

Hey @taylordotbiz.bsky.social I'm listening to the Rain Road .wav from the @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social Patreon, am I right that this version doesn't have the ominous brass crescendo which, in episode 14, runs under Galani's thought "Well this song is totally out of our control" (48:02)?

Right! Everything Shakira and Toni (and Yas) have said has been a genuine response to the way they've been made to feel, while Helena and Meg have been so unkind for no obvious reason, and I hate that the show is letting them get away with it

Bonnie Calderwood Aspinwall ✨ VA/fool @bonthemightybon.bsky.social · Jul 30

RIGHT! The way she handled it was excellent, and his anger at her not caring what he thinks or giving him a reaction is really telling and honestly scary. So relieved Yas pied him (and Angel too, within about 10 minutes LMFAO)

I'm actually furious at the producers for those clips, there's such a clear bias against Shakira/Toni while they leave out Meg and Helena laughing at Toni behind her back that she didn't know Harrison slept with Lauren?? The gaslighting is on par with Harry and Demon #loveisland #loveislanduk

The EHRC is meant to protect everyone’s rights. But internal documents reveal a different story: repeated meetings with anti-trans lobbyists, legal bias, and secret coordination. We filed the FOI. Here’s what we found.

FOI Exposes EHRC Bias: Private Meetings, Legal Echoes, and Policy Capture - Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective

Let’s be honest. The Equality and Human Rights Commission is not acting like a neutral regulator. It is not standing above the fray.

It’s not just that Zohran Mamdani beat Andrew Cuomo.

It’s that he and the voters beat an entire transnational criminal syndicate of power brokers who have had a stranglehold on NYC politics for a very long time.

And they’ll be coming after him hard. He’ll need a lot of support—and protection.

***Taps the sign again*** after the SCOTUS decision stripping immigrants of due process to traffick then into foreign prisons and slavery.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · Feb 15

The law won't save us. Nearly all authoritarian regimes legitimize their actions within the law and make their acts legal.

More lawyers need to realize this.

This image is a screenshot of a tweet by Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net) discussing a characteristic of fascism. The tweet states:

"The most sinister aspect of fascism is that as it consolidates the powers of the state, it then uses those powers to reinforce its legitimacy. Intensely violent, but legal actions can be undertaken while resistance is portrayed as an attack on the state itself and criminalized."
