They count on you being scared to break the rules! More than anything else, they are counting on your decency and respect of procedure to paralyze you from doing the right thing lest you get called to the principal's office.

You have to learn to say fuck it and DO THE RIGHT THING

Washington is full of rule-following valedictorians who were inspired by the West Wing and did Model UN and moot court and studied their heroes and who believe in using government to help people.

That's nice, but you need to learn how to swing on the illiterate bullies who steal lunch money.

OpenAI doesn't report a single number for its climate impacts - not anywhere, in any way, shape or form.

It sounds kind of obvious but the fact that a company with such incredible electricity hunger isn't disclosing basic information about its energy consumption and associated emissions is v bad..

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012.

Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place.

A thread.

some ways to generate electricity

A) use sunlight to drive photosynthesis in plants, let plants die, wait ~100 million years, dig up fossilized plants, burn plants, use heat to boil water, use steam to drive a rotating turbine, use generator to make electrons

B) use sunlight to make electrons

With the recent wave of folks discussing Octavia Butler's 'Parable of the Sower', perhaps now is a great time to share my grad school paper, 'When History Rhymes' on how Butler's "predictions" were an observation of existing, comparable policies of her time and their effects.
