STOP USING THAT SHIT.
AI consumed as much water as the water bottle industry this year.
It also created as much carbon pollution as New York City, according to a new study.

"[Elon probably] knew it would be horrifying to others. But he decided that it was a better approach to shut it down, fire everybody, shut them out, and then go rebuild."
A test of whether the U.S. can recover its moral health after all this is whether we hold Elon Musk, genocidaire, accountable.

This is horrible. Trump and his crew shut down USAID, which has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, and they had no idea what they were doing or what would be the consequences. Completely immoral.

President currently feuding with a beloved American comedy icon who was murdered 24 hours ago.
Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."

If you never knew about the little dagger symbol in the NYT bestseller list, it’s a fun rabbit hole. Go look it up.
Open industry secret: most political non-fiction books get purchased by foundations or non-profits to be given out with giftbags at events. 100,000 people aren't buying a book by Lauren Boebert on the future of America. GOP operatives are and giving them away for free as "gifts." BEST SELLER!

Compare to 86% of the US as a whole
They’d have a significantly better chance of finding non-citizen immigrants if they just went to the mall and grabbed random people

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

The first official review of THE RISE is in, from Horror Reads, and it's a 5-star!
"The novella length tales in here are super creepy, extremely tense, and terrifying... In this town, no one is safe and your first trip could be your last. I highly recommend it."
Hooray!
