an interesting note re: scaling image moderation. in the past 24 hours:

at least 500 thousand images in posts (not considering # of images, just if an image was in the post)
86 thousand avatars
500 thousand url thumbnails
58 thousand videos.

that's a lot to moderate!

Nbd It's just 528 megawatts is basically a good sized power plant for like u know to power a whole region but Google wants it just for them & for the power to be fueled by motherfucking diesel when they knowingly blackout the local power grid for the people who live downwind of it like me & my kids

Erin Fogg says Free Link @criminalerin.bsky.social · 22d

Now Google says they need 497% more diesel tanks than they originally lied about needing and also they need 547% more diesel generators than they lied about needing and our city & county leaders are gonna pretend to think about it then say lol ok obviously sure

Me: Apparently I gave you autism by taking Tylenol.

18: Which you will not participate in.

18: Because you gave me Autism.

Me: 😐

Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA announced they'll be hosting their own Super Bowl half-time show with "fully Christian, American" performers. 🤣
Bad Bunny is both Catholic AND American. Just not "white enough".
