This kind of thing is less fashionable than it used to be, but really worth looking into whether people saying an enormous amount of data center expansion will actually be good for climate and affordability have financial ties to people with a direct financial interest in data center expansion

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Yesterday @fossiltreaty.bsky.social President Kumi Naidoo rushed into his 5th speaking engagement of the day at #cop30 looking uncharacteristically upset. “Tzeporah,” he said “I lost it. I don’t even remember what I said. I am so sorry. I got emotional.”

I found the clip from his panel.

Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.

Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

Shame.

‘Chat’ was a verb meaning to communicate informally between two people or a small group. It morphed into a noun: the audience for a streamer.

It has morphed again to mean the responses of AI; indicating AI is believed to be group knowledge.

It would be better if we didn’t see it this way
