Fire is great. We couldn't have built civilization without it.
Capitalism is great. We couldn't have built civilization without it.
but free market capitalism isn't the solution to everything, just like we don't light everything on fire just because it burns.

Lots of studies showing a similar result: people who buy "plug-in hybrids" do not, as a rule, plug them in. They are mostly used & operated as gas cars.
(My take is, EVs are improving so fast, PHEVs are gonna look like a silly kludge w/in 5 years or so, well within the lifetime of a car.)

Drivers aren't charging their plug-in hybrid cars, research suggests | CBC Climate Change News

The architect tried to keep doubt from her face. "These are very interesting ideas, your majesty."
The emperor smiled. "Thank you, I think there's a good variety of traps."
"And the sign?"
"Yes, 'Grave robbers welcome'. Definitely."
"And you will be buried-"
"In the garden, outside the tomb."

we keep squeezing half-solid shit through everyone's mail slots but so far very few people have praised the taste, gotta investigate this
Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening

Today we’re talking a bit about something we will work on if we meet our funding goal. We’ve been planning The Reconstruction Papers most of the year and our difficulty getting it off the ground as we are now was part of the motive for the fundraiser. www.liberalcurrents.com/a-preview-of...

Happy December 1st!
This year, I sewed two matching advent calendars from scratch for me and my partner 😊
I'm still a beginner sewer so there are QUITE A FEW MISTAKES, but I'm really happy with them and I look forward to using them every year!

the jeff bezos owned washington post is the outlet responsible for making sure the primary complaint about AI was water. this may have been in part because jeff knew it was bullshit, so when amzn gets blowback they can easily prove their water footprint is small

As it's December, please enjoy this haunted Christmas window display I saw that instantly sucked all festive spirit from my soul. Whoever devised this has divorced parents, I've never been so sure about anything. 🎄
