kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

Household leaks need to be abolished
On AI & water, it looks like all US data center usage (not just AI) ranges from 628M gallons a day (counting evaporation from dam reservoirs used for hydro-power) to 200-275M with power but not dam evaporation, to 50M for cooling datacenters alone.

So not nothing, but also a lot less than golf.

When you see people savoring their capacity to drive a middle of the road person off *this fucking platform* of all things you know we’re doomed. Too many people’s brains are too fried for actual political activism

I find it hard to square the preciousness about "why would someone ever stay on Twitter?" when everyone on this site knows that the community here intentionally chased off lots of people.

If you ask me this attitude has been building for about a decade--electeds and their staff have been gradually recasting questions and requests for comment as harassment or even doxing, and simply not responding to questions is now routine www.propublica.org/article/prop...
Our Reporters Reached Out for Comment. They Were Accused of Stalking and Intimidation.
Our journalists reach out to people they’re writing about to ensure fairness. But in this environment, they’ve found their efforts to do so are more likely to be vilified than appreciated.

This is not any big insight but it is especially important during wartime to remind ourselves that journalism does not serve the US military, or American interests, but rather "the public good," which includes all of humanity.

The main thing is that you don't have to "understand" art or wine, or why you like it, in order to develop a taste for it. Just gravitate to what you like, and if becomes important enough to you, the understanding will follow.
My own advice for jazz, but also classical, opera and even wine, is simple: Start with your taste.

That means going through a few compilations and noting the artists that you like. Then follow up on a few of them and build outward by finding out who they influenced and collaborated with.

It's actually worth entertaining the possibility that if W admin used WMDs as an excuse to go after oil, this admin is using oil as an excuse to go after headlines and a blank check on deportations

Hahahaha the first Dem here pretty clearly hates the Dem base more than they hate either Trump or illegal attacks on sovereign countries
This is just sickening. Back when people were saying "Primary every Democrat," we should have stuck with that
