Every time data centers are brought up, I'm reminded of a recent meeting I had with a person working in that sector who mentioned how important power demand modeling was, because they projected if the grid were to go down in Phoenix during peak summer, 30,000 people would die in the first 24 hours

sorry but this is so funny

Fucking nuts. Democrats, ask yourselves: Are you still confident authorizing the NSA to conduct warrantless wiretapping and invasive surveillance of Americans, including the purchase of bulk location data, is a good idea?

We got a real package deal in Trump!

Someone did homophobia to me recently and it was so unusual I didn’t process it as that for a while. Anyway, I love living in a place where homophobia is not a part of my daily life. Happy pride and to all homophobes, I sincerely wish you to heal your hearts

Imagine being so unable to love your child that you set fire to the whole damn world instead.

maybe he died from embarrassment? that would happen to me if i were professionally associated in any way with the republican party

The “60 Minutes” staff applauded Mr. Pelley after Mr. Bilton departed.

This is what happens when you replace customer service with an AI chatbot: Instagram users getting hacked in the dumbest possible way. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social has more. Read now: www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

apparently elementary and middle school kids in Boston call these "fridge trucks" I would argue they look more like dumpsters, but go off kids

This piece on the fundamental emptiness of AI art, and how it’s arrived at a time when we are making so much empty art anyway, is so complex, funny, and insightful. I wish more of the people mad at its existence would take the time to read it. So here’s a gift link www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/m...

New York City, we have no excuse to be bored this summer. The map at Nyc.gov/summer is full of free and affordable stuff to do -- sports, music, arts, movies, video games and more -- in every borough.   The city is your backyard. Get out there and enjoy it.

I’ve never been to San Antonio but I can read the internet. Seems like a very progressive city. I therefore don’t want to see any people rooting for the Knicks out of some sort of fidelity to a city’s politics. For a limited time only, this is now a San Antonio Spurs fan account.

Damn Annie Lennox

Americans have a constitutional right to speak out against injustice and the inhumane cruelty we are seeing under this Administration. That is NOT a crime. This is what abuse of power looks like.  We will not stay silent while this administration tries to silence the voices of the American people.

Love to see it. Congrats San Antonio!

Felt good to hear the crowd at the Mass Dems convention roar in support of trans kids. Civil rights aren’t negotiable.

Happy to be here at the mass Dems convention supporting my man Ed Markey

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

Not only was Steyer's answer on this really good, it's appalling how BAD Becerra's answer is. He immediately rolls over then tries insulting the reporter's intelligence.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

After a Wisconsin town did this, the mayor said: “The fact that they didn’t take the cameras down shows that we are the product. They were never really selling to us in the first place. They're selling to much bigger agencies the ability to spy on a ton of people.” (via boltsmag.org/verona-wisco...)

This is just the latest in a seemingly never ending string of concerning stories about the ad tech industry and its rampant privacy invasions. But note that not a single lawmaker quoted in this piece comes to the obvious conclusion that we ought to ban the sale of cellphone location data.

It’s funny that Glenn argued with these people about Trump because he’s more responsible for Trump’s presidency than all of them put together youtu.be/W_L0sOE2UGo?...

Ken Paxton just gave an Epstein-style deal to a pedophile. Paxton released Adam Hoffman — an admitted child rapist — back on our streets after Paxton’s rich lawyer friend got involved. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas. Ken Paxton has no place in the US Senate.

As @junlper.beer noted, this is just the birthday boy defense. x.com/canteverdie/...

MIT's social science library is closing, the entire book collection will be no longer available to browse or immediately check out, the space to become additional B-school classrooms? 🤬

DHS’s advertising is so nakedly white supremacist and Nazi that a Colorado fusion center issued a bulletin warning about it. theintercept.com/2026/05/21/i...

Some good news - Global low carbon emissions power generation from wind, water, solar & other renewables (excluding bioenergy) have now surpassed all other sources of power generation except coal, which will likely happen in 2026. 🧪💡🔌☀️💨💧🔋 a 🧵

Was just going to say this. All kinds of things are possible for these people. It’s like they’ve been fired with months’ notice and no one has taken away their access to the company info and vault. Whether or not they want to caucus with Dem there is plenty of damage to be done - for those willing.

Am I wrong that Miami would be the only city on the east coast doing international flights if this happens? And presumably west coasters would have to fly to Texas first to go to Asia?

So unbelievably angry. This is blatant child abus, a shocking escalation in the kind of everyday violence against trans kids that has already cost lives. Everyone involved in enacting this must resign, and every teacher, counselor, and social worker must be vociferous in our condemnation. Get loud.

some jokes write themselves

Solidarity in action, you love to see it

Oh wow the energy is electric

If you don’t know the history of Oklahoma City, read Boom Town. Especially if you’re an NBA fan. Bizarro place with an origin story that sounds fake. After you’ve read the book the t shirts start to make sense.

“Across the board, our ingredients cost 30-50% more today than they did just two years ago.”
