As we build, we’re grounded in research about what people actually want, and we’re working hard to deliver that.
But what DO people actually want?

So the imperial unit system at some point *officially* became based on the metric, right? An inch was redefined as 2.54cm exactly.

Offset Marketplace is a new project in collaboration with @tega.bsky.social. We calculate the carbon savings of industrial sabotage, package these savings into carbon credits, and sell them as certificates. Profits are then donated back to the activists responsible for the actions. offset.labr.io

The "one big trick" that every aspiring authoritarian in the 20th century has learned is that you don't have to get people to agree with everything you say, you just have to get them to mistrust anything that anyone other than you says. Widespread cynicism is corrosive to democracy.

Researching this topic was tough sledding. Data centers are surrounded by hype, secrecy, NDAs, lack if regulatory oversight. But I followed the breadcrumbs and found some trends coming into focus.

@robrousseau.bsky.social re: Tom Cruise. I think the pod should adopt the position that Scientology is 100% real but only for Tom Cruise. Eg Tom Cruise is in a parallel universe where Scientology is real, aliens dropping into volcanoes and all.

It's silly but I wish there was some counterpolitics making a twist on this old idea, like "manifest dignity"
I mean, they’re not wrong. Glorifying indigenous genocide, land theft, chattel slavery, exploitation of natural resources, subjugation of women, and early death from starvation, exposure, and preventable diseases as “Manifest Destiny” absolutely is part of our (white) national(ist) heritage.
The official DHS account is now tweeting about “your homeland’s heritage”
