American water use is all about agriculture, not housing or data centers. https://t.co/t9EPYge08s pic.twitter.com/vrnxodbZzF

Exactly.
And repeat after me kids: 🎵 All data centers are closed loop! Na na na, all data centers are closed loop! 🎵
All the carping and complaining over nothing; a misdirection you all fell for. Be less stupid. Please.
It is incredibly tiring to have personally observed the dramatic rise in housing costs over the course of my lifetime, only to encounter brazen denial from the willfully blinkered who dismiss what is both empirically evident and a legitimate source of persistent angst for younger generations.
I know the denialists are terrified of having their house price fall as the majority of most people’s net worth is tied to that risky asset. However, I also do not give a fuck. Making up fake charts and graphs to “prove” things are better than ever just makes me want to clown on you however I can.
Because buddy, if you can’t see what is right in front of your face, my sympathy diminishes very quickly.
Trump admin’s degrowth agenda goes well beyond extreme tariffs & obstructing our fastest-growing energy sources — it’s attempting to dismantle the backbone of US scientific and R&D capacity:
(1) NSF: >55% cut
(2) NASA Science: ~50% cut
(3) ARPA-E: 57% cut
(4) DOE Science: 14%…— Tyler Norris (@tylerhnorris) July 13, 2025
Degrowth loser shit is rife on both sides.
And we’ll all suffer because of it.
Bluesky is a weird place.
About 90% of it is whacked-out libs salivating over all they are going to be forced to take away from everyone and how nothing is funny ever, especially if it’s from or by a white person.
And they wonder why Trump won.
There’s nothing more delicious than watching women complain bitterly that they are unable to date the men they want to date because they chose to get a bunch of shitty tattoos.
It’s female inceldom in action. And there’s nothing more pitiful than watching someone blame everyone else for their self-caused failures and their own dumbass choices.
Love it for them.
hard to overstate how much the culture has been shaped by the fact that circa 2011 sites like Jezebel—and, subsequently, the discourse — were overtaken by millennial women with personality disorders and/or intense grudges over the romantic disappointments they suffered as teens https://t.co/pQRwTw3BhN

It was hellish. At least half the reason Bernie Sanders never made it past a primary is that too many Millennial women equated his very existence for some reason with an unforgivable slight from a past boyfriend of theirs.
Contrary to popular opinion, inceldom exists among women. More than anyone admits. It doesn’t quite look like it does in men (and is less violent, though even among men violent inceldom is very, very rare) but feminism basically became full incel over the last decade-and-a-half. Too many women grew up and realized they were not in fact the specialest girl after all and never recovered from that insight.
And for those reasons as well as its weird worship of radical Islam, contemporary feminism is quite shit.
If I ever get a tattoo I want it to say, “I would of gotten a stupider tattoo, but I ran out of monee.”
Yes, with the incorrect usage and misspelling. It will still look better than most tattoos out there (alas).
This is not at all a good comparison at all so you deserve the wrath. It is intellectually dishonest and it hides more than it reveals — though it employs all the usual nonsense of denying that anything is now worse than it was in the past. The same tired, wrong arguments get trotted out every time:
1) Houses are bigger now! Who gives a crap. I can’t buy a fraction of a house.
2) Interest rates are lower. This matters some, but the down payment is still huge and lower interest rates still might mean that you pay more over time because you have more principal to pay off. And obviously, it misrepresents affordability by changing the standard by which you measure it. It also ignores renters, which are ~30% of the population. Renters don’t really benefit from lower mortgage rates, and with house prices shooting up, more people become renters thus leading to higher rent. QED.
Another relevant factor that these “everything is so super-duper rosy” types ignore: Household size has changed dramatically since 1980. This matters a lot as there are far more single people now, households are a lot smaller, but house sizes are increasing. This means that smaller households have a more difficult time purchasing anything at all.
I knew people in the 1990s who bought large homes with one person working a blue-collar job in medium-size markets (so not rural) that now would have no hope of purchasing the smallest condo available (much less house) in those same markets working the same job.
I’m not sure what the major malfunction of the people who trot out graphs like that is. They can’t see the obvious, no matter how many people show it to them. They must not want to see.
Almost all women are completely wrong about why men approach women.
Especially these days, women believe that men approach them because they think the men expect to be having sex 10 minutes later. This is false for nearly (99.9%+ all men).
For most men (and I cannot stress this enough), talking to a cute, interested girl is the fun.
Anything that happens after that is great, sure. But it’s not the reason. It’s amazing for all that women claim to understand men1 that they do not get this.
I’ve noticed that women with unappealing or no personalities at all are the ones most likely to believe that men only want and/or care about sex.
That’s probably what they experience, so it is indeed true for them. And since these days feminism has been transformed into the female version of inceldom1 it then follows that feminism as practiced now paints men and their sexuality as inherently evil.
Bring back actual feminism. Eliminate inceldom no matter if it’s male or female.
Pandemic Revisionism, Part One: COVID-19 Origins.
Moronic.
The only story that makes sense is number 2, a lab escape. No, Covid-19 was not created by China. Perhaps altered a little. But that it rode out on or in some researcher from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (and Poor Biosecurity) is blindingly obvious.
What this goofy doofus writes about the WIV’s biosafety is simply a lie. It was using live virus sample at BSL 2 and 3. That’s well-known and very well-documented (no, I will not do your research for you).
Why lie? Of course. Doesn’t want his funding cut.
Fuck this clown.
Exactly. Entire industries are already having their entry level tier eviscerated. This means that they will never have competent workers again. In most fields, it takes 3-5 years of constant learning and OTJ training for someone to become actually productive.
I don’t care how smart you are. Even if you have 250 IQ, you won’t be able to do what I do (or a lawyer does, or an accountant) if you don’t see and do a lot of low-level tasks in the field first. It’s just not possible. And with AI eliminating those jobs, it removes the feeder from “apprentice” to “master.”
Very bad.
We might have decreed too many stately pleasure-domes.
I’ve done shit like that. And been clueless.
But…but…but…all MEN WANT IS SEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111
When you realize how many times men could’ve had sex and missed what in retrospect were extremely clear signs, that absurd feminist narrative falls apart really damn quick.
Getting tattoos to “reclaim your body” is like slicing off your nose to “reclaim your face.”
It makes no sense. But that’s humans for ya.
