Technological progress cannot come at the expense of the environment.Data centers are power and water consuming giants, and technology giants must commit to 100% use of clean energy and stop shifting costs to ordinary residents.Support the reasonable and legal environmental demands of the community!

2026 #4 A really good biography of one of the most important and influential painters of the last 200 years. Examines his life, influences, rivalries and his affect on those around him, both family and fellow artists. There's a good long blurb in the alt text, an excellent read. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💡📚 #booksky
