AI Power Consumption Surge Strains US Electricity Grid, Coal-Powered Plants Make a Comeback

"Unable to keep pace, some utilities are scrambling to revise projections and reconsider previous plans of closing fossil fuel plants… Some older coal power plans will stay online, until the grid adds more power production capacity. The result could be increased emissions in the near term and risks of rolling blackouts if infrastructure continues lagging behind demand."

So now, on a burning planet, we're going to center all of our energy resources and human ingenuity on tech for incels to synthesize nonconsensual pop-star porn

Another image widely shared by pro Israeli bots and accounts on and

This is so ridiculous that proves that almost everyone sharing this have never talked to a Muslim or seen a Muslim pray or even asked a Muslim about it before sharing it.

Wearing shoes and glasses when praying is just so ridiculously stupid that only an idiot would believe its authentic.

But sadly our world is full of idiots.

    I am so beyond exhausted. It is absolutely ridiculous that in order to even try and get help you have to put yourself in a position where you're unable to do the work you're already being paid for, let alone look for or take on more work, so you get into an increasingly desperate situation trying to get help because you're in a desperate situation.

    Fuck the system.

    @MLE_online is that what "signal reflection" means?

    are there any mirrors nearby? serious question, cause mirrors can reflect radio signals. i found this out in my last place, which had sliding mirrored closet doors in every bedroom and the wifi never worked very well. our router was exactly in line with the closet doors, and if i opened my closet, the wifi suddenly worked better.

    A popular response to anticapitalist discourse is that capitalism is intrinsically good but it was corrupted at some point in the recent past and whatever anticapitalists are complaining about is really due to that fall from grace rather than capitalism itself. The election of Ronald Reagan is popular for this.

    People who sincerely believe this are so historically illiterate that it's impossible to have a serious discussion with them so I don't (usually) engage, and when I do it's disappointing. But if they could talk sense about it what I'd really want to hear from them is when do they think capitalism got good? A fall from grace implies a prior state of grace and when was that for capitalism?

    For hundreds of years, since its beginning, capitalism was fueled by slavery, murder, torture, armed robbery. Marx's famous characterization of its birth as "dripping from head to foot, from every pore, with blood and dirt" is an understatement. When did this end, do they think?

    I mean, explicit slavery is mostly illegal, although that only happened generally within my great-grandparents' generation, so not that long ago, but slavery was pretty seamlessly replaced with systems of exploitation that were and are only visibly less violent. This has to be the case because the profits never shrank. When did capitalism get good in order to be able to get bad in the 1980s?

    Anyway, yes, this is a subtoot. Since they're incapable of responding sensibly I'm shouting it into the void instead.

    @MartyFouts @HeavenlyPossum @magitweeter @violetmadder @AdrianRiskin why was it okay for you to build a dam anywhere near anyone?

    read about what dams did for the Cree people of Mistasini, Quebec. their traditional hunting grounds were destroyed so that the Quebec government could profit from hydro-electric generation.

    "desire to accumulate power" sounds like Tragedy of the Commons nonsense. slavery and racism are pillars of capitalism.

    bosses literally use racism to divide workers, so yes, capitalism does "drive people that way".

    what RD4Anarchy said is pretty much it. it's the fear of communism created during the cold war, indoctrinated in western liberals by both USSR and western nations' ruling class and media. there is just new stuff to scapegoat now.

    it's not new at all. i've been encountering that kind of reaction since the 90s, and that's only because i was a teenager with an internet connection, not because it was new, and i did it myself for a long time before i decided to think about and find out what the words mean.

    The math teachers who hate calculators the most don't know how to use them and assume it's easy. "it just adds and reduces the fractions for them"

    but they don't know how to make it do that.

    It will solve a system of equations too... but you need to know how to put it in standard form and understand the result which is basically a reduced matrix.

    I think I'll be doing a calculator workshop FOR TEACHERS next. LOL.

    is everyone racist or what?

    my friend is disabled, trans, and a Person of Colour. i would like to raise $500 in total to pay him back what i owe.

    so far, $253 / 500 has been received.

    please boost and, if you can help, the PayPal link is here:

    "Debunking degrowth" or trying to, anyway

    "In the degrowth literature, a caricature of the typical economist is presented as believing in unlimited economic growth, and that growth should be pursued regardless of its environmental impact. This is a straw man. It would be a naïve economist who did not recognise that constraints exist. And economists usually limit their projections to a few decades to come, rather than to the infinite future, in which they supposedly believe in unlimited exponential economic growth. Certainly, there are theoretical economic growth models which portray the possibility of exponential growth into the infinite future, but economists have had enough common sense not to assume stylised theoretical models are the be-all-and-end-all when it comes to public policy."

    Then why, Mr. Tunny, is it so hard to find an economist who can tell us when the economy should stop growing?

    @simon_brooke @SallyStrange everyone really needs to stop treating these scumsucking bastards like they're just unfortunate fools who can't do anything right.

    once again, for the people in the back, the problem is not a lack of intelligence or education. these are people who have made up their minds, know they are causing harm, and don't give a fuck. the only thing that applies here is "hooligans", but "fascists" is way more accurate.

    @HeavenlyPossum

    i think one of the most useful descriptions has been "a perfect marriage between corporation and state". it's misattributed to Mussolini, and i'm not sure who did say it.

    politicians are capitalists too, they are bosses too, and their job is literally to command the affairs of the capitalist nation state, as well as facilitating exploitation via profit taking. when they talk about "running the country like a business", they're not joking. it's all they know how to do.

    the means to make profit has always been legitimated by the state, which means that all nation states are inherently fascist, no matter whether one gets to choose which member of the ruling the class will "represent" you.

    it's very easy to demonstrate, too. just look at how much power the state has given to corporations, and how hard it has worked to suppress the power of the working class.
