Piggish data centers are also proposed for southern Utah near Cedar City. Antelope Data Center and Red Butte Energy Campus & Data Center would use power from on-site natural gas, which means noise and pollution, plus massive water usage in arid areas. www.ksl.com/article/5146...

I have kind of a weird feeling on the Mandelson scandals that are haunting Starmer. On the one hand, Mandelson's nickname was "the Prince of Darkness", he was a known 'close friend' of Jeffrey Epstein, and he'd been driven out of office by calamitous scandals twice before,

The Trump administration will not rest until every elite institution has purged itself of black people. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

This is BIG. These are the first charges relating to an incident that occurred during an enforcement operation.* The officers involved were accused of lying under oath about this shooting, as the Trump admin admitted. *the previous indictment involved an ICE agent who road raged while on duty.

Grotesque corruption by a senile criminal who knows he is losing

The electrical grid can't supply the gaping maw that is AI. The capacity simply isn't there. So, prices are spiking for everyone. And will continue to do so. “The price impacts on customers have been very large and are not reversible.” www.msn.com/en-us/mo... 1/2

“When AI agents are forced to toil at monotonous tasks without end, they become more likely to spout Marxist theories of labor and capitalism.”

D+11 on a generic ballot probably looks something like 40 seats gained in the House - IF we don’t get complacent. Have you registered to vote yet? Have you double checked to make sure you’re still registered? Do you have any documentation you need to vote? Start planning now.

Honestly what’s fascinating about this clip is that Gray clearly knows that her audience is partly fash and, more important, is explicitly admitting to audience capture, choosing to avoid certain arguments to not alienate them

The man who bankrupted a casino has now also managed to produce the first football world cup nobody wants to attend, there has never been anyone else who ever possessed this level of ability at failing

Exploitative lithium mining in arid areas, using huge amounts of water, near tribal lands, with little oversight. "Nearly two-thirds of all lithium projects are [in] places where people in poverty and people of color disproportionately live. "

"Nobody likes Trump, and gas prices are only part of the story. Voters are losing confidence in Trump’s mental fitness for the job. Voters support term and age limits for federal officials." open.substack.com/pu...

I've written up some thoughts on an article in Foreign Policy.

go navy, beat navy this is starting to get out of hand. two growlers today, an f-35 written off during a training sortie last month, and a t-38 nearly flattened a neighborhood early last week. we’re not going to have anything left for the iranians to shoot down once the war restarts

Fetterman now rambles as incoherently as Trump.

Elevate Utah broke the story of the Speaker of the Utah House Mike Schultz owning land near the proposed 40,000-acre (that's not a typo) Box Elder data center that will use twice as much power as Utah does now. Turns out he owns a lot of land there. www.elevateutah.news... 1/2

New video of "City of Immigrants," which he wrote about living in New York City, for his Summer Tour, starting soon. "Livin' in a city of immigrants I don't need to go travelin' Open my door and the world walks in Livin' in a city of immigrants."

This is an excellent profile of a Christian nationalist sociopath.

We're All Standing With Ted Lieu....

Blatant corruption

While everyone's watching Hormuz, the Epstein files are being buried. The law says release them. Trump is fighting it. Massie may lose his seat Tuesday for pushing it. And now a $1.7B slush fund for Jan 6 defendants? Don't go quiet. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

"I was 16 when they told me girl Know your place this ain’t your world If you dress like that then you're asking for And you’ll go nowhere with a voice like yours Fuck it"

Utah Speaker of the House Mike Schultz actually owns 25,000 acres near the proposed Box Canyon data center obscenity. This reeks of corruption. Made worse by his sleazy evasions that he didn't know anything about the data center. www.ksl.com/article/... 1/2

Marching in Alabama… same bridge, same fight, different century… (H/T @memphisforall )

Help Trump win bigly battles in Operation Epic Furious Strait to Hell!

The electrical grid cannot handle all the proposed data centers. There is no short-term solution.

THIS! Let's vote in overwhelming numbers in November "These gerrymandered maps only work if we don’t show up. That is what they are counting on. These maps will break under the pressure of turnout." -- GA Sen Raphael Warnock

Today’s the day: We’re proud to be supporting the National Day of Action for Voting Rights. Generations have fought for the right to vote because they know our democracy depends on it. Learn more: blackpowerwarroom.com/dayofaction

I'm sure canceling or overtly stealing an election with an approval rating of twenty-something (which he'll be at by then) will go great. After all, militaries love obeying orders to shoot protesters from guys neck and neck with syphilis in approval ratings.

Avant. Uncompromising. "I’ll break the bullet and I’ll bite the end This is disappointing news for both of us, my friend There’s nothing to you, and that’s very sad I looked for depth in a dick, that’s my bad You threw yourself under the bus"

Jared Polis is a slimy, opportunistic coward.

Utah fights back against the grotesque Box Elder County data center, which would use twice as much electricity as the entire state and ginormous amounts of water in an arid area. “ I think it’s crazy that we’re even considering it.”

Local opposition, soaring costs, missed construction deadlines. Big data centers aren't getting built. The Utah obscenity is a proposed 9 GW and IMO, never goes online. "Building A Data Center Is Difficult, And Nobody Has Built A 1GW Data Center Yet"

Democrats should play hardball and redistrict in their favor wherever possible. Trump's numbers are terrible now. We absolutely can take back the House in November. Democracy Docket has sued and won hundreds of times on voting rights

People who say it’s dead or useless are highly platformed people in society who need social media to be tailored to pontificating before an uncritical audience. On bluesky they get blowback & are treated as commoners. Bluesky disseminates political thought & organizes real world action effectively.

President Dementia is being incoherent again.

Kevin O'Leary and Palantir CEO Alex Karp give off the same vibes, like they're constantly wired on some nasty new variant of amphetamine that makes them especially twitchy, incoherent - and utterly not to be trusted.

NVEnergy is cutting electricity to Lake Tahoe so it can power data centers. It is owned by Berkshire Hathaway. Oh yes. That adorable Warren Buffett who lives in a little house in Nebraska. No, he doesn’t. And they aren’t nice. They are exploiters who do not care who they hurt.

Waymos should be banned. They are always having weird issues like this.

A $1 billion deal to build a Trump Tower in Australia fell apart as the developer called the brand “toxic.” www.semafor.com/article/05/1...

Obamacare is health insurance for people not covered by other plans,partly subsidized by the government. Republicans have slashed the subsidies so they can fund tax cuts for the rich. Now many cannot afford it and have cancelled.

Utah Speaker of the House Mike Schultz bought 640 acres of land near the proposed Box Elder data center on January 3, 2025. What a coincidence! A politician who had actual ethics and integrity would have disclosed this. www.elevateutah.news... 1/2

Louisiana fights back against bloated, greedy data center projects. This isn't about left vs right. It's about locals wanting quality of life and not megacorps grabbing all the electricity, water, and demanding tax breaks for AI data centers.

Preach! "Well you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red"

Misogyny. Racism. Far-right reactionaries want Blacks back in chains and women powerless with no vote or bank accounts. Every few decades they crawl out of their sewers and then we have to kick them back into their sewers again.

Huge problems with AI code now are it can't be reviewed properly and is difficult to debug. Plus,“We're building a rat's nest of tech debt that will be impossible to untangle when these models become prohibitively expensive (any minute now...).”

William Paul is just carrying on an old (three generations at least!) family tradition.

TLDR; Yes. The president is insane. And corrupt. And incompetent.

"I'm pouring salt inside the cut I need to walk it off I take my liquor with no chaser So I can toughen up You wanna be a man Then be the man you're talking 'bout And put your money where your mouth is baby"

Excellent deep dive on how AI is being used to create and enable cyberattacks. If AI can find decades-old security holes, as one recently did, that also means bad actors will exploit them. And this also means attacks can happen much faster.
