I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you

Sarah Vine says she would welcome a fight for the Labour premiership and would not condemn it as chaos (I think she absolutely would), because leadership contests "flush out people who are not very good". 🧐 The last such contest yielded Liz Truss.

1/14 President Trump has posted that the Strait of Hormuz is now "open to ALL ship traffic except Iran", announced a blockade of Iranian trade, and quietly abandoned the proposed 20% reimbursement fee in favour of unspecified Gulf "trade and investment deals". This sounds straightforward. It isn't.

The thing about Kemi Badenoch's purge of any Conservative member to the left of Enoch Powell is that she's so close to a Tory revival if she only realised it. All she needs to do is to lead a party that is not obviously mad and wait for Reform to crumble, but she can't even manage that
