Just had a fantastic conversation with some people at PIRG. They are really lovely people working hard for environmental protections in a lot of different areas!

(The chat was specifically about their WasteX report: pirg.org/edfund/resources/wast…)

There is a data centre proposed in Virginia that would require the 2nd biggest fossil gas power station in the entire US Fifteen 30 megawatt gas turbines - 3,500MW in total. Larger than 1,823 gas plants. Oil/gas media outlets cannot contain their excitement www.power-eng.com/gas/develope...

Direct partnerships between the fossil fuel industry and extremely wasteful forms of electricity demand are a thing!! These deals between data centre developers are reminiscent of the deals b/w bitcoin miners and fossil companies www.power-eng.com/on-site-powe...ketanjoshi.co/2021/03/11/b...

If my #cat could talk just now:

"Daaaaad! I wanna sleep already!"

"Sorry, #FloofDaughter, I gotta write down one more #blost idea for #WritingMonth!"

haha! Ours have adapted to our weird sleeping cycles by now, mostly. Usually by sleeping on or near us.

Well don't cats usually have even weirder sleep cycles? (in fact not entirely sure they have much of a cycle, but it's been ages since I lived with any cats)

They don't necessarily sleep when we do, but both my cats liked to "retire" with me to the bedroom by a certain hour.

also, you might want to try getting adopted by some cats again; @RL_Dane recently did and seems to be very impressed by the results

Hills covered with trees in full fall color slope down to a still corner of a lake, where cattails grow. Sun is low and golden, sky blue.

Interesting way of visualizing government budgets
via usafacts.org/reports/annual-re…
A detailed financial diagram showing U.S. federal government revenue ($4.5T) and spending ($6.2T) for 2023. Left side shows revenue sources in blue (including income taxes, Social Security, Medicare), right side shows spending categories in purple, with a $1.7T deficit highlighted. The visualization uses a waterfall chart style.

I recently complained about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on my PlayStation uninstalling itself and nagging me to buy Black Ops 6.

It turns out this tactic drove so many downloads on Comcast’s network that it was 19% of internet traffic.

See you in Multiplayer.

some sci-fi shit here: the decisions made today on how much greenhouse gas emissions are released will impact Earth's sea level rise for **millennia**. The bars on the right hand side of this chart: they're referring to the year 2300 (I will be more than 300 years old!) www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/s...

Honestly, I see like, a bunch of slow-moving, arrogant business dudes talking about keeping their coal power plants going until 2040, and it absolutely just fucks me up knowing that those dudes are pulling levers on unknowable epochs of geological time, affecting unrecognisable future civilisations

Did you know that 99.9% of elected officials in the U.S. are not federal? Or that the Texas Railroad Commission, which oversees oil and gas regulation, is responsible for regulating (or failing to regulate) most of the methane emissions across the state? Local votes matter!
