At the end of Native American Heritage month, remember every time you follow or share LakotaMan1, a colonizer gains a bustle. So, just don't do it folks.

Who is LakotaMan, the user behind one of the most popular Native American accounts on X?
John Martin is adored by white X users—but infamous among Native and Indigenous communities.

who the fuck thinks it’s a good idea to collatoralize 30 year loans with chips you burn out in two years
who the fuck thinks it’s a good idea to collatoralize 30 year loans with chips you burn out in two years
Important read. These chips are collateral for billions in loans but last only ~2 years because they're run at max capacity 24/7. The loans are 30 year loans. The mismatch is coming to a head in 2028: if you need to keep riskily refinancing loans for an asset that doesn't create profit.....

nothing disabuses one of the either vocal dysphoria i may have only barely realized was there or the burning need for mastery (not sure which, is there a difference?) like being out in the world and just listening to other women talk

big late breaking news: the market monitor for the largest energy grid in the u.s., covering much of the midwest and mid-atlantic, has called to block new data centers connections to the grid, saying current course of growth assures regular blackouts
No more PJM data centers unless they can be reliably served: market monitor
The PJM Interconnection’s market monitor urged the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to rule that large data centers can only come online if the grid operator can still meet reliability metrics.

if you must refer to it it’s my legal name, my wallet name, something like that, but it’s not my “real name”
Cis folks: Shouldn't have to say this, but do not, under any circumstances, refer to a trans person's deadname as their "real name." Whether it has been legally changed or not. For fuck sake.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
