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

"Vendetta against wind power" is just the weirdest thing that's true here

Look at my boy go 🥺🥺

Unimprovable caption

Rinse and repeat hundreds of times over for the next several decades.

Great thread if you want to get angry at ten of the dumbest young Americans the New York Times could find

“The killings will continue until morale improves!”

Love that for him 🥰

Large swaths of the US will be uninhabitable. The games must go on though.

I mean is threatening to consume all energy and water on the planet and also eliminating everyone’s jobs not a violent threat in the first place?

The future of all sports will be domes. Like what happens if these are the conditions for the World Cup Final? There’s too much money at stake to have to choose between athlete safety and having your event happen.

Hard to describe the sorrow I feel watching the boreal forest burn, summer after summer. I was paddling on a lake yesterday when the smoke came in, and knew what was happening despite not having cell reception. Climate change is a heartbreaker.

So the US is apparently attacking water treatment and distribution systems in Iran. Depending on other information that I don't have, that could be a war crime. youtube.com/shorts/Ppa13...

I completely understand 1930-40s Germany now.

Gender studies does a far better job of explaining the Trump administration than traditional political science, or economics for that matter

There was an era when this would have been one of the biggest scandals in modern political history. That era was five years ago

The entire administration is a sports radio commercial.

So…gender affirming care

This too, will be Trump's legacy, killing America's auto industry in order to guarantee American consumers as the customer of last resort for the oil industry and the Saudis (whose oil reserves will otherwise go stranded in the next decades)

"The American E.V. Has Been Crushed. Will It Take the U.S. Auto Industry With It?: The largest U.S. automakers have backed away from electric vehicles, even as global sales are booming. The decision may make them obsolete." -- www.nytimes.com/2026/07/15/m...

Once again, oil prices are not based on reality

took me a minute to confirm that he's asking for 350 followed by three commas worth of zeroes. that's up to $120 billion more than it would cost to insure every child living in the U.S. under a universal health care model. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

A 15mw turbine burns the equivalent of 450 gallons of gasoline/hr. 40 of them at a single site is like having 10 thousand cars idling in one spot. You can talk unit level efficiency all you want but some of these data centers, like xAI are almost incomprehensible in terms of stuff combusted

This company is so cooked

No shit

Happy Bastille Day

Post-Katmai bear photo of the day: The unlikely trio. After being emancipated by his mother, Biggie (left) managed to get himself adopted by 806 (center), who was already in the process of rearing her own cub.

Kinda weird for him to just jump up and say that right?

Lolol

The entire credibility of judicial review rests on the fact that there's a reasoning behind orders that can be applied going forward. Otherwise it's just arbitrary rule by ayatollahs, which happens to be what the Supreme Court is right now.

The spiteful divorce philanthropist is my favorite super hero. Shout-out Mackenzie Scott

An unfathomable clean air act violation. I worked in this exact field for years, including in oil and gas, and i still can't get over how wanton and obvious this crime is. Just stunning
