Put in an order with HolFood recently, turns out can't track my order without going through a third party app (some crap named "shop"), which requires so many trackers, every one of my privacy systems instantly blocks it... Yay

So…about AI’s energy use…
“…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”

Shoutout to my first job as a streetcar conductor (no, really) that time we were working on one of our historic cars when something managed to short in the control stand (GE K-35, AIR), momentarily blasting 600v DC at full amperage directly to the traction motors

any trans person who sells out trans kids is a traitor & a coward.
attacking life saving healthcare for children in hope of temporary personal comfort is abominable.
there is a ring of hell reserved for any quislings willing to feed children to the fascist wolves at our doors.

trans people cannot compromise on trans kids ever. we will never give up trying to help them. you will never convince me that 1 cis child is worth 99 trans kids.
