american politicians won’t hesitate to impose a ban on things like hemp, thc, cbd, etc but still won’t do a thing about gun violence

exactly my point

this whole “oh calm down, it’s not as bad as you think it is” isn’t really helping anyone when time after time we get fucked over and time and time again we are supposed to trust the process, the government, and society

the things that continuously bite us in the ass

all over my area people have been complaining about rising costs of their electric bills.

theres an actual case headed to the ohio supreme court because of the rise of electric and gas bills

Alexander Chee @alexanderchee.bsky.social · 21h

In case you, like me, saw your electric bill more than double.

Peter Butler @peter-butler.bsky.social · 1d

Bloomberg research found wholesale electricity up ~270% in areas near data centers

It doesn't seem like nearly enough people are taking it seriously

One A.I. image isn't too much energy, but 5 million videos? Per day/hour/minute whatever. It's not sustainable

whenever i see stuff like this i immediately go to people who have a natural fear of dogs

“please get your dog”
“oh don’t worry. it doesn't bite”
“does it have teeth?”

we have a lot of broken trust in all areas of this country. telling people to calm down isn’t helpful. keep your guards up.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

say what you want, but i am 100% the person who prints out directions i have to follow. i find my phone too much of a distraction.

prior to crocheting, i didn’t print much. just odd things here and there

so imagine my surprise printing out a 45 page pattern just for my printer to run out of memory

awake at 3:30am wondering if this is a good time to start crocheting my axolotl project for my friends kid.

Liquor store clerk: I’m gonna need to see some age verification

Me: Prior to V.90 there were two incompatible standards for 56K modems. USRobotics pushed their own “X2”, while Lucent and Rockwell pushed the confusingly named “KFlex”

Liquor store clerk: enjoy your purchase.

Can anyone explain why anti genocide protests kicked off a congressional investigation on antisemitism while a black college student's murder getting covered up has gotten no political response?

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.
