Bezos is like two bad moves away from becoming an actual, real life supervillain
Amazon’s helping fund construction of what’ll potentially be the quote “largest single source of climate pollution in the United States” for the sake of having an off-the-grid data center
It’s a natural gas burning power plant in Texas with potential to just spew out allergens, nasty smells, and a bunch of garbage that can lead to long term health issues of the surrounding community - but all Amazon’s saying about the investment is that it shouldn’t affect power costs for families in the area - never mind the fact that this thing’s gonna be shooting 33 MILLION tons of CO2 every year
Remember, too - this is the same company that not too long ago said they were shooting to be net-carbon-neutral by 2040

$Check Your Discs Writer: Kyler Himes Editor: Dawid Wilsnach Music by: @UFD-Music Sony has no clue how bad what they’re doing is Old discs have started undergoing a bizarro phenomenon where they just kinda shatter for seemingly no discernable reason So not only do we have to worry about the digital only future, but the physical-only past - which, if not properly backed up, could literally fracture in your hands if you go to handle it Apparently, this is caused by two things - The Polycarbonate substrate body layer of CDs degrading over time - and, if the discs are being stored in protective padded foam, over time, it can release ammonia-coating compounds that weaken that same layer and potentially make it crumble in on itself In a lot of these cases, the discs look fine until they’re physically handled - and while this CAN apply to all sorts of optical storage mediums, CD’s are the ones most commonly affected due to their reliance on a single layer of polycarbonate$
