True story, during the Great Recession, Airbus said that to survive it needed to open some non-EU factories in places with cheap, compliant labor, no environmental restrictions, and no meaningful labor law and after a lengthy internal study the two sites they chose were Bangladesh and Alabama.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

Why Are Plans for This Alabama Data Center So Hush-Hush?

Officials in Bessemer, Alabama, are mum on Project Marvel, a proposed data center the size of 18 Walmart Supercenters.

Back in 2023 the handful of artists on bsky looked into this and found every other large social uses (iirc even exactly the same) content moderation service for their posts; bsky back then came in and said they do not train a model and have no interest in doing that

Aaron Rodericks @aaron.bsky.team · 1d

Every appeal gets reviewed by moderators, but literally no social media site at scale can scan user content in a timely fashion for violations using only humans. They do not retain or train on any Bsky user data or images.

Trans literature has value because trans authors are human beings telling stories in their unique ways. It is profoundly frustrating to see trans authors are only valued when we write about transphobia or when we write hopeful trans stories intended to serve as an antidote to transphobia

One Battle After Another was an anxiety attack in movie form. Holy shit what an incredible piece of art. The tension that started with the tense, discordant piano didn’t let off and just kept ratcheting up and up.

Also that sequence on the hills??? Being vague to avoid spoilers but iykyk

Lately I’ve been thinking that life is a collection of truly unbearable weeks, and the best we can hope for is that our unbearable weeks are relatively few in number, spread out over time, and interrupted with love and connection and care, from art and from the people around us.

This looks pretty great and I also think it's funny that I've seen more than a few confused about Pennywise crashing to Earth like a comet, apparently some folks just thought he was a regular ol' evil clown and missed the whole "interdimensional cosmic evil entity" aspect.
