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.

I finished the single player campaign earlier this week. It was good fun.


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!

Did you know the male Pacific tree frogs have an extra super tiny toe on their outer thumbs used exclusively to grip onto females better, for mating purposes?

When I saw speed I mean it.

My index page loads in 0.5s compared to 5s a week ago!

@Muse I have the joy of a library in town here, and of a large and extremely well stocked source of free books. If I want to read about permaculture I can explore those places but if I wanted to have a book permanently available I'd need to buy it if it was not available in the free book store.

I almost skipped it because it's so emotionally draining and because the Sask Party (the local awful oil-supporting conservatives) just won again, but I just did my climate change lecture.

Tried to tie it in more to the "homeostatic awakening" idea for solving the Fermi Paradox - civilizations have to use much less energy than we do in order to survive long-term, and then they're undetectable (by our current methods). It's a weird kind of hope, but it's something.
