It’s that time of year where it’s chilly enough you should be FLOP-maxxing

 every CPU, GPU, game console, etc is functionally a 1:1 electric space heater.

 unless you’re lucky enough to have a heat pump, there’s literally no reason not to run silly computer experiments to stay cozy.

anti electricity propaganda from the 1900s

Pantry goods needed. 45's administration has gutted food services for communities, and it's being felt really close to home, especially as inflation continues to create more food insecurity and more food deserts. The amount of inhumanity from this administration is appalling.

I have autism. My daughter has autism. Eric Zepeda has autism, and limited verbal communication skills. 🧊 tackled him from behind. Kidnapped him. Broke his wrist so badly it required emergency surgery. 🧊 dumped him on the side of the street. He walked to school. 🧵 #SheShed #FUCKICE

Microsoft literally told fragile white guys to use AI to compete with Black co-workers.

The moment City Council gets it right and passed the ordinance calling for the removal of ICE and the National Guard out of Memphis!

"Daniel Perry conducted searches on killing protesters. He boasted to acquaintances about how he hoped to kill protesters...And then he killed a protester." Then Texas' Gov. Abbot (up for reelection) pardoned him. An absolutely heartbreaking and enraging story that deserves sharing.

WTF 🤬

i was working on something earlier today, mostly for my own amusement but i honestly don't think the rock instrumental i wrote to go along with it is that bad lol. i probably would never write something like this for a VN, but this is an example of how i've grown, i guess.

Hope everyone having a whimsical Saturday, im still field testing the bubble pen #maker #art

I don't need a rally to encourage you to vote. I just registered in your district and voted against everything you care about. You need to vote just to zero me out.

Did you know Memphis library workers are not classified as civil service employees? That diminishes their voice & means less job protection. I’m running for Congress to fight all workers 🚨But here in Memphis, we can make a change now! Memphis voters, vote YES on 5966!

Imagine a future worth building. 🏗️

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

They have been dealing secretly with Putin for weeks over this. Impeach. Impeach. Impeach.

“My Bible says ‘thou shall not kill’ — It doesn’t say ‘unless you’re governor’.” @jerrigreen4tn.bsky.social tells @thisisnashville_wpln she’d extend the moratorium on executions @govbilllee just put in place (after multiple botched executions) if governor (Marsha wants to bring back the chair)

America today is a country where regulators won't allow private companies to air interviews of the opposition on TV, but declare that taxpayer funded propaganda is fine.

That’s fucking demented. “Hey did you broads think about getting a little group together and doing something?”

Hey folks! [BSides Memphis hacker con](bsidesmemphis.org) is happening *this Saturday!* We'll have 10 speakers on a wide range of cybersecurity topics, 5 villages (IoT, Linux, Soldering, Mental Health, & Lockpicking), CTF with prizes including a Flipper Zero, & more! Tickets are donation based!

Nevada election officials said Thursday that 185 voters in the state who the Department of Homeland Security identified as noncitizens were all, in fact, citizens — the latest snafu in the department’s attempts to uncover illegal voters across the country. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

She was an FBI agent. She started an investigation of the murder of Renee Good. Trump forced her to reclassify it as an ICE agent assault. She was then forced to resign. Her evidence confirms that a cover-up of the homicide has been undertaken, directed from the highest levels.

"china is charging their cars in less time than it takes you to fill up your F-150" is the kind of banal jingoism i always assumed would get us finally kicking it up a notch on serious infrastructure buildout but we were a lot more directly addicted to gasoline in addition to racism than i thought

James Talarico: ICE shot Wilber Perez in the back while he was making food deliveries, leaving him on a prison cell floor with a bullet lodged in his back. How does paralyzing a DoorDash driver make anyone safe?

When will there be organization to keep this from happening? There are already laws in place to keep this from happening and relying on those laws only means, at best, some sort of settlement well after the fact. That is bullshit. It needs to be prevented. When the police are criminal, toss them.

I know it's the season, but we need less talk about primarying bad politicians and more infrastructure to recall them when they get out of line instead of having to wait for whatever voting cycle is next.

Trump’s ICE thugs shot 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez through his car window as he was delivering food yesterday in Austin, Texas. His wife and lawyer were reportedly denied access to see him in the hospital, and ICE is now trying to deport him. This violence must end. Abolish ICE.

The video shows the agents literally just leaving the guy in the street and driving off.

I feel like Bob Ross would unequivocally appreciate and support this.

The Immigrant Pantry is committed to being here for the long haul, continuing to deliver food and basic necessities directly to families who need them. But keeping that promise depends on people continuing to donate and volunteer. 1/ #momsky#sheshed

When someone claims that a mistake just happens in the system, and it's always the same kind of mistake, and it always benefits the person who set up the system... It's not a mistake. It's happening on purpose.

i am genuinely bewildered by people who say that the rise of white nationalism in the republican party is a response to the "woke left." like, did the woke left cause pat buchanan's 1992 presidential campaign? is the woke left why steve king had a long career in congress?

Mel Blanc screams are like Greek fire, we lost the technology to make sounds like this

Nick Beckstead, noted longtermist and "effective altruist,” just comes out and says it: "But it now seems more plausible to me that saving a life in a rich country is substantially more important than saving a life in a poor country, other things being equal."

I for one think it’s critically important to national security for us to beat China at high speed rail. We must invest in this race immediately
