It's Socialist Sunday at IMMORTAL SCIENCE, and that dumbass NYT hed about how Chinese people should "protest" the country's green energy program inspired me to write about how anticommunism makes us all deeply stupid. Check, check, check, check it:

Afraid of the Light - IMMORTAL SCIENCE

In an article from the New York Times today about the unsightliness and mild annoyance created by green-fuel high voltage lines in China - qualities apparently absent with coal or oil,...

Anticommunism is a hell of a drug

New York Times article talking about how "few citizens dare to protest" its construction of electric car and high-speed train infrastructure. No information provided as to why they would want to do such a thing

I will post "You shouldn't use slurs against AI" additional times in exchange for every thousand hours of volunteer work people who say "You shouldn't use slurs against AI" spend helping actual people who have had slurs used against them

I will post "You shouldn't use slurs against AI" one more time in exchange for a check in the amount equivalent to twice the value of all the material stolen from my friends to train the AI

“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

I think it's some combination of "I am too smart to fall for scams" and "I think everyone is horny for me"

The problem with bathrooms is that they are filled with things that you absolutely do not want under any circumstances to fall in the toilet, and there is a 100% chance that at some point they are going to fall in the toilet

if i've learned one thing from doing union stuff while also doing other forms of organizing, it's that you're better off with people you disagree with who are nevertheless trying to do the same thing as you than with people you agree with who aren't trying to do anything

Nah it was just some BSky "liberal Zionist" rando who decided to be the main character of the day. I think Obama is too much of a media creature to feud with someone that popular

Many years ago I was in a hotel room and turned on HBO and there was an episode of REAL SEX featuring a German guy who fucked trees. I thought it was funny but a friend who lived there said "it's really not that unusual"

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

I am sad for the Merc who crushed every expectation anyone had for them, for AT who had an MVP-caliber year, for Satou who couldn't even play in the last game.
