remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

I like when people are like, "If you're not talking about the energy use of beef, you're a hypocrite!" First of all, PLENTY OF PEOPLE both talk about and act on that, but at the end of the day AT LEAST YOU CAN EAT A FUCKING CHEESEBURGER, JABRONI.

Generating a 5 second video is the energy equivalent of running a microwave for an HOUR

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.

The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

Uline's owners "have used their wealth to funnel millions of dollars into the most extreme RW politicians & mvmts... contributed $144 million to conservative groups in the 2024 election cycle... donated $4+ million to bankroll anti-abortion groups who pushed to overturn Roe v Wade."

Sketch-tober day 16!
This prompt stumped me, so switching to my modern OCs! TY volunteering as a wildland firefighter (yo, fire mitigate your homes/land folks)
#hunt

Sketch of a man in wildland firefighting gear, covered in ash and soot. He wears a construction helmet and a large backpack, as well as other protective gear. He holds a hoe in one hand and motions back to something behind him with the other. Behind him is a pine forest with billow smoke clouds from a forest fire

Comic by https://cassandracalin.tumblr.com

Comic features a person who receives a text asking to hag out but was a typo to hang out. Person replies no let’s actually hag out and the final panel shows two people dressed like witches (hags)mixing things into a cauldron.

Zohran fucking crushed it on Fox News. I can't stomach one more Democrat that's scared to go on fox fucking news because they're afraid of being pigeon-holed on trans rights or something. We need more politicians like Zohran who unapologetically believe in what they believe in.

Didn't have to be this way. Didn't need roving gangs of heavily armed and masked goons violently abducting people off the streets and from their homes, didn't need federal agents shooting priests in the head with chemical munitions while laughing, or zip-tying half-dressed children together 1/

Before you animate that painting with AI consider whether the artist chose that moment in time for a reason and whether animating it destroys the artist's intent and meticulous composition. Maybe learn how to look at a painting first, before you slather your tacky derivative version all over it.
