Cherlene Ft. Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone | Inspired By Yacht Rock | Yach...
Rewatching Top Gun for the first time in years. It’s a hell of a movie, but Archer absolutely had the superior version of “Danger Zone.”
(”Danger Zone” was the name of my old wifi network at my last apartment.)

I don't even have a physical deck anymore; the last one I had got lost a couple of moves ago. But I still draw one random card from an app every morning, just to give me something to think about as I get ready for the day.

It's like the video for a-ha's "Take On Me"
“Even the most die-hard supporters of these tariffs — all ten of them — will tell you that the plan is pain and dislocation which then drives investment in domestic manufacturing to operate within the new economic reality. But again, that’s a years proposition. The whole thing is an out-of-whack mismatch.”

Congress, which is controlled by Republicans, can stop this before the end of the week. All the power that Trump is claiming for himself is actually vested in the Congress, and if the GOP weren’t a bunch of opportunistic cowards (or cultist true believers), none of this would be happening.
The Republican party's strength for the past fifty years has been its members' willingness to toe the party line over their own priorities, their own beliefs, their own morals and values, and the needs and best interests of their constituents. They've played the long game and it's given them tremendous power. They have the opportunity right now to use that power to pull us back from the brink of madness and destruction, if any of them have the courage to stand up and use it. Is there a Claus von Stauffenberg among the current Republican Senators?
Before The Great War, working class women were not new to factory work. There was, however, a division between women's and men's jobs. After war was declared, women increasingly took on the men's jobs to fill the gap left when men were recruited as soldiers. With munitions factories producing for the war effort, there were even more jobs for women to fill – many of them dangerous and requiring significant physical strength.
While the fashion plates were still catering to the well-to-do, the war did influence women's fashion in consequential and lasting ways.
Clothing became more sensible. Gone were the restricting undergarments of past eras. Clothing was more tailored and most significantly, hemlines rose to several inches above the ankle.
In Britain women joined the Voluntary Aid Detachment and Queen Alexandra’s Royal Army Nursing Corps. In the USA, the Marine Corps Women’s Reserve, and the special women’s battalions on the Russian Front.
In rural areas women were called to duty to perform an assortment of farm work and chores that had been previously done by the men who went to war. In the image on the right, a catalog page displays styles of overalls and briches particularly suited to outdoor work.
Above are two very different roles that women took during WW I. The Women's Motor Corps of the American Red Cross was largely made up of wealthy women who had the means of access to an automobile and learned to drive. The munitions factory girls on the other hand, worked at physically demanding, dangerous work and likely came from modest means. The latter were called "Canary Girls" because the exposure to TNT caused a yellowing of the skin. They faced not only safety but als9 health hazards, for very low wages.
Flora Lion (British/English, 1878-1958) • Women's Canteen at Phoenix Works, Bradford, England • 1918
Flora Lion, an established society portrait artist, was commissioned by the Ministry of Information to complete two large paintings showing factory scenes during the First World War.
Stay tuned for Part II...

I'll just add to this that the United States strongly encouraged everyone who could to plant a Victory Garden. That way you could help the war effort by feeding your own family in the summer and canning the rest of the produce for winter, thus leaving more food to feed the troops. Even Hollywood stars got into the effort - I have pictures of Norma Talmadge in her bib overalls working on her garden.
While munitions factory work was more dangerous, it also paid significantly more than the factory jobs women had been allowed to do before the war. So, despite the health risks, there were plenty of young women eager to do it.
Idgaf if you don't want to write essays for school. I don't care if you don't want to write corporate emails yourself. I don't care if you can't draw well, I don't care if you can't write well, I don't care if you just really really want to talk to your favorite fictional character but don't want to RP with a real person because you have social anxiety or whatever
If you're still regularly using generative ai, chatgpt or midjourney or character.ai or literally whatever the fuck, im personally blaming you when my utility prices start going up.
Why would utility prices go up because of ai?
(I am not defending the usage of generative AI/ChatGPT/Character.ai etc etc i am very much against it - I am just curious as to the correlation between using it and utility price surge please don't come at me this is a genuine question)
Happy to help.
ChatGPT uses so much energy that the US is literally reversing course on coal and gas usage to make up for it. In Santa Clara, for example, data centers used 60% of the ENTIRE CITY'S electricity.
ChatGPT uses 1-3 bottles of water for cooling for every query you put into it. This is FRESH WATER, which is evaporated and eventually mostly returns to the ocean, effectively removing a lot of it from our already dwindling fresh water supply on the planet. It also consumes 17 THOUSAND TIMES more electricity than the average American home.
More AI use = more data centers = power drain on local cities = gas, electricity, and water utility prices rise because all of our resources are being funneled into a machine that makes garbage
