What does the intended resurgence of America as a petrostate look like from California, which is politically blue and a green-energy giant? Our writer went to a Southern California town built by crude to find out. He joined our podcast to talk about how he approached the recent story that his reporting yielded. #oil #energy #california

Petroleum and pragmatism in a state that still dreams green

The Golden State is politically blue, and it’s a leader in green energy. It also has a foothold in crude.

@bmxescape is talking on @firesidefedi about how expensive it is to hire a graphics artist to make artwork. He later continues to say that this makes #AI such a problem. Because economically, to even have a chance of competition you are forced to use it for anything that doesn't matter much.

ANYBODY VOLUNTEERS TO HELP WITH ARTWORK?

"Winter cold ‘becomes lethal’ as Israel restricts entry of tents, blankets and other shelter supplies to ravaged enclave."

And the world continues to allow this to happen. It beggars belief.

Supermercado francês viraliza nas redes sociais com comercial natalino

Gente, muuuito fofo! 🐺🐺
É sobre um lobo solitário que não consegue fazer amigos na floresta porque todo mundo tem medo dele (afinal ele devora os outros animais), mas também é sobre criar um anúncio de Natal bonito, com uma arte maravilhosa, feito por um estúdio competente (Illogic Studios, indicado uma vez ao Oscar) e pessoas inspiradas. Sem IA. Mais de 100 pessoas trabalharam na produção do vídeo durante um ano e o desenho foi feito à mão, de maneira tradicional. Merecem os elogios!

Sorry I've been a bit quieter lately, folks. Retail during the holidays is really good for sucking the absolute life out of you.

We've had to do a *lot* of fundraising the past couple of years; more than I could possibly ever repay with entry-level wages.

I don't have much to offer as a return on your investments in us besides letting you live vicariously through my warped musings and pics like this of the view from our apartment the other morning that the community banded together to give us. ❤️🙏
