It’s not anti‑technology to say that data centers shouldn’t harm the communities around them. Environmental justice matters. Local residents deserve clean air, safe water, and a say in what gets built in their backyard. Speaking up as she is , is how we protect each other. #SheShed

dammit.

Trump is fast-tracking giant AI data centers that are driving up electricity bills and draining water supplies across the country. Bernie Sanders and AOC just introduced a bill to hit the brakes until we understand the costs. Tell Congress to pass it now

I think that they should absolutely do this. What America really needs right now is a bunch of unemployed people who have extensive experience of bringing down elected governments.

Amazon will spend $200B this year on AI infrastructure — including data centers — while forging ahead with over 30,000 layoffs. And don't forget: the company paid nearly $8B less in taxes last year thanks to Trump's big ugly bill. This is what corporate greed looks like.

Firefox also removed the part of their README that says that they'll never collect data Js use zen

The Trump administration’s lawless killing spree at sea continues. The term for premeditated killing outside of armed conflict is murder—and there is no armed conflict here. And even if there were an armed conflict, there’s no indication these supposed “narco-terrorists” are lawful targets.

So many people insisted that Graham Platner was just a growing boy who couldn’t be held responsible for a Nazi tattoo and some bad behavior in relationships and the Democrats are so desperate to appeal to white men who they will never sway that they will tolerate this raggedy ass man.

Ben Meiselas on Jared and Ivanka's attempt to take over an uninhabited island in Albania: It used to be a closed off military area under the old communist government. It has kind of a very creepy underground tunnel system... No wonder the Epstein class wants to build out on this island.
