Don’t know if it even made the news outside Ukraine.

Three combined heat and power plants fully stopped working after last night’s enormous attack. Unclear if anything can be fixed, millions of people are completely without electricity, heating or running water. Before winter.

similar to this, it's bad form in my book to pirate independently made works of art.

like, go ahead and pirate the latest hollywood blockbuster or triple-a video game. But there's a reason why I bought the Hundreds of Beavers blu-ray despite it being free with ads on youtube.
You can pirate almost any form of media… except books.

Go to your local library.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Update on Cope and Seethe/Beckett vs ILoveKimPossibleALot/KP. So Beckette was able to process a countet claim against 1 of 5 copyright strikes made against KP. KP has until the 30th to take Beckett to court or else the copyright strike will be removed.

I am not sure if that is because I am a Taurus, or because I am neurospicy because I feel called out
HOROSCOPE FOR CARTOONISTS
♉ Taurus (Apr 20–May 20):
You crave comfort and stability, which is why you’ve drawn the same character eating the same sandwich in five panels. It’s not lazy — it’s cozy storytelling.

as someone who was a teenage girl on the internet, i think making AI-generated revenge porn of a minor should get you the electric chair actually
it's 30 years later and this still happens.

Update update on ILoveKimPossibleALot. She is now trying to flag a content creator’s channel down with MULTIPLE STRIKES and falsely accusing him of sexually harassing her. He has not done any of the such, just pointed out KP’s lies and history of slander, harassment, and lies…

So disney+ sends me an email saying their BASIC
PACKAGE (no addons, commerciald) is now going up to $12/month.

Me: Good thing I’m cancelling then.

Update: ILoveKPALot falsely flagged another content creator’s video on her, because it showed her history as a terribleboss, a vindicative brat, and a self obsessed womanchild. She pushed a false rape claim against Saber just because his channel did better and be did not date her.

So after pushing a false rape allegation at Saberspark and trying to blacklist her former editors, ILoveKimPossible is now falsely copyright claiming any channel that is basically showing all her dirty laundry. Just letting folks know she seems to be a very vindictive and corrupt person.

Wind turbines do not explode when they fail.

Neither do solar energy panels.

Industrial iron-air batteries, now being built in West Virginia, can store power for 4 days.

For when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine.
A fireball lit up the sky across the Los Angeles area on Thursday night after an explosion at a Chevron refinery in El Segundo, alarming nearby residents who said it felt like an earthquake. The cause of the explosion was not clear. No injuries were reported. nyti.ms/42pPCaW

this is the Jesse Singal exception.

it reads *extremely* like Jay's excuses last year not to ban the literal neo-Nazi who was making death threats

then it turned out Jay and half the devs were following the neo-Nazi

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.
We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life
Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.
