Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

You've got to be f-ng kidding me. The "aesthetic"?
“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland
When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Current US Policy:
If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

Breaking: The US lost 32,000 jobs in November, far worse than expected.
Small businesses were the hardest hit.

ATTN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES: The VA sent out an announcement with a link for employees to self-report their disabilities. I wouldn’t do this if I were you. They’ll likely use it to discriminate against you.

When we govern from City Hall with dignity as the cornerstone of our politics, we'll be following in the footsteps of great mayors like @sanders.senate.gov . Grateful to the Senator for stopping by to talk about the work of building a government that delivers for working people.

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Pete Hegseth used the term “fog of war” when there is no war. Let’s talk about the fog of alcoholism, shall we?

i think it's actually a lot more likely that a 35 year military veteran and commander of special operations command did the #1 most clearly established war crime in history without authorization than the dumbest person ever to be secretary of defense ordering it because it seems cool

I don’t consider ICE to be a law-enforcement organization. I consider them to be an organized crime syndicate. Nothing more, nothing less.

This administration is filled with the absolute dumbest, meanest, cruelest pieces of shit.
And they're so *proud* to be dumb, mean, cruel pieces of shit too. They delight in it. They brag about it.
It's vice signaling as a way of life.

Geez. Remember when Rubio was considered one of the "better" republicans?
Today On Tap from me: Marco Rubio is selling a war of choice in Venezuela on falsehoods about narco-trafficking so he can get right-wing south Florida exiles who've been his political allies back into power. It's an incredibly parochial pretext for an imperial adventure.

Marco Rubio’s Sales Pitch: War in Venezuela - The American Prospect
Right-wing exiles in South Florida want regime change. Rubio is selling it with a false narrative about drug trafficking.

In Iceland, books are exchanged as Christmas Eve presents. Then you spend the rest of the night in bed reading them and eating chocolate. Sounds perfect to me.
