old enough to still be proud of our “melting pot”. would like my anti-immigrant fellow Americans to fuck off forever, please.
It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

not me visiting the forward operating food pantry for my tactical nutrition supplement.
"Running list of German support organizations for your kit bags," said a US Army website in Germany about the government shutdown. It was a list of local food banks
US Army Tells Soldiers to Go to German Food Bank, Then Deletes It
The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.

My weekly plea to tell your apolitical sports-enjoying buddies to stop using X and come to Bluesky. Tell them sports are here, major accounts, endless sports videos and highlights and stats and all that. Tell them they can have a timeline free of politics if they want. Just get them here.

I am on a budget billing plan with RG&E until next spring at which point I'm sure I will have an eye-popping settle-up bill. @schumer.senate.gov please enquire as to why the president is cancelling energy projects and driving up electricity costs. I even give you permission to cuss about this.
Bloomberg research found wholesale electricity up ~270% in areas near data centers
It doesn't seem like nearly enough people are taking it seriously
One A.I. image isn't too much energy, but 5 million videos? Per day/hour/minute whatever. It's not sustainable

Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

They sent a letter! POW! Asking for a meeting! BAM! To discuss a path forward! BOOM! To keep funding Trump’s takeover! ZAP!

every time our country does one more swirl around the drainpipe i see folks on here posting non-"serious" things… art, hobbies, pets… you know, "joy"… and i think "don't they know about THE THING" and then i realize they live in a non-drain-swirling country and they're having a pretty great time.

would love to see data on how much inflation the big retailers chose to eat during the previous administration.
The world's largest retailer — like many others — has been absorbing most of the increased costs, but raising prices of some goods.
Walmart says tariff costs are rising 'each week' and will continue
