some really nice mood setters in there

under capitalism in the US right now? I can see more unknown rich people getting into buying astroturfed campaigns to create political personas for the national scene and vaulting over any online streamers because they have more connections and probably more money to spend on this stuff, a bit like Vivek Ramaswamy or Nicole Shanahan, wouldn’t surprise me if one of the ‘All In’ podcast guys like David Sacks thought he can run too, this is not really copium though because I’m basically saying that ruthless capitalists would bump off the online narcissists in a competition for limited seats, also this would assume the public stops voting for career politicians, but that’s kind of already happening with the Republicans

how do we triangulate our way out of this one?

easy, we put this sticker on our Teslas

Wiesław Kukuła, Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces (so ‘main army guy’ as far I can tell) to cadets during an inauguration speech for the 2024/2025 academic year at the Military University of Land Forces in Wrocław:

“The transformation is a process that we manage in such a way as to change the Armed Forces - from the ones we have now, to the ones we will need to win the future war. Everything indicates that we are the generation that will have to stand up with weapons in our hands to defend our country. And I don’t intend to lose this war, neither I nor any of you. We will win it,”

Some retired politicians were saying he should resign over that, libs and soc dems currently in power said he was out of line and should let the politicians make statements like that but also should not resign, and some of the conservative opposition said this is a good statement actually because it makes the Russian generals afraid lol.

good energy penguin takes it, bunny vibe would be a close second

there are a few horror/cursed type emojis out there that are pretty freaky

didn’t know we have a warren medusa, looks away

yup, total cat vibing going on

‘helllooo, less game time more pet time’

I don’t know that tune but it’s groovy also! I keep going back to maybe ten 80s italo disco tunes, feels like a bit of a hidden gem forgotten genre, weird there hasn’t been a proper revival, only other derivatives, it’s pretty catchy with its soaring synths

discovered the genre from this set a long time ago, it had a few 80s italo disco tunes mixed in but so well you kind of don’t notice he’s jumping back and forth in time, Casco - Cybernetic Love is a great one from there in that style

Pancake seems to be enjoying the sunlight and generally just being great

love these two very curious little fellows

groovy and nice

socialism through electoralism

lol I think maybe Dan Bongos needs to be a constant in every fakenews post, like the statue of liberty in Kelly comics

yeah! even though it was marketing it had an optimistic sensibility back then, before everything got irony poisoned and self-referencing, here’s the EP this came from, feels like it would be nice background music to browsing sites from https://search.marginalia.nu/

yeah… I assume this is them signaling their plans for if they lose that google default search engine money (which is likely I guess?)

Despite skepticism over whether nuclear fusion—which doesn’t emit greenhouse gases or carbon dioxide—will actually come to fruition in the next few years or decades, Gates said he remains optimistic. “Although their timeframes are further out, I think the role of fusion over time will be very, very critical,” he told The Verge.

don’t worry climate folks, we will throw some dollars at nuclear fusion startups and they will make us beautiful clean energy for AI datacenters in just a few years, only a few more years of big fossil fuel use while we wait, promise

Oracle currently has 162 data centers in operation and under construction globally, Ellison told analysts during a recent earnings call, adding that he expects the company to eventually have 1,000 to 2,000 of these facilities. The company’s largest data center is 800 megawatts and will contain “acres” of Nvidia (NVDA)’s graphics processing units (GPUs) to train A.I. models, he said.

I want football fields of gpus

Ellison described a dinner with Elon Musk and Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, where the Oracle head and Musk were “begging” Jensen for more A.I. chips. “Please take our money. No, take more of it. You’re not taking enough, we need you to take more of it,” recalled Ellison, who said the strategy worked.

give us more chips brooo
