I used to think I could help make the world better, but now I just try to cope with most people not seeming to care. Published author (flash fiction & prose poetry), might respond to a prompt by writing some 500-character stuff as a fun creative exercise.

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools.

Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

@parismarx Yeah, Generative AI. It generates a worse world for everyone. That's the point.

Trump's "Migrant Fight League"

Trump has repeated this story 3 times. The point: Migrants* are so dangerous and vicious they could beat everyone in the UFC. It is wildly dehumanizing.

(The word "Migrant" is used now instead of "illegals." "Migrant" describes the work people do, there are documented migrants. One step closer to it being openly about race and nothing else.)

I think his followers would have enjoyed it more, if he'd said the UFC fighters would win. They would have cheered.

"I told Dana White of UFC, I said here's what were going to do, you know these are tough cookies coming in to our country. Coming with prisons and mental institutions. I said to Dana White, UFC, he's got a big fight going on right now, he's a good friend of mine, you know what he said the other day? They said 'who's the toughest person you've ever met?' He said, 'Definitely Donald Trump.' He said 'Donald Trump.' How 'bout that? But, I said 'Dana, Dana, I have an idea for you to make a lot of money. You're going to go start a new migrant fight league. Migrant. Only Migrants. And then, at the end of the year, the champion migrant is going to fight your champion. And I hate to tell you, Dana, I think the migrant might win. That's how tough they are.'" Donald Trump in Philadelphia

    @FeralRobots @futurebird I suspect that the only possible end point of fascism is for everyone to hate everyone, including themselves, for not having all the positive attributes of the Führer.

    Between Dolly Parton’s quiet COVID research fund, BLM support, and her sending generations of children books through the USPS, she continues to be one of the most relevant and wonderful people of every era. — Dolly represents the best of America, while Trump represents the worst.

    @Strandjunker If humans could, please, just quietly decide to turn out attention on interest on those people who, when asked a question, tilt their head, smile a little, nod, and pause before giving a well-thought response. The ones who, when asked: "So why don't you give money to charity?", say - but I do, and I find it a great thing to do. If we could find wholesome things to admire, we would, ourselves, become more admirable.
