This morning I posted our petition to get Palantir out of our NHS and our public services.

Over 40,000 people have now signed it - thank you.

Please do keep sharing!

Stop Palantir taking over our public services!
Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Hi everyone. As you know, I am our trans rights lead at Good Law Project. I have been working alongside a fantastic team on our challenge since May last year. But whilst what we have achieved is significant - there is still a lot further to go.

If you can, please donate and help us keep fighting.

Hey definitely call your senators about this. Like seriously.
aclu.org ACLU @aclu.org · 2d
BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.

The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

Found a nuanced way to explain the rickety finances of data center development
I’m the CEO of Colocation Corporation (CoCorp), and we’re building a 118MW data center. For the sake of this example (and simplicity), it costs around $1.4 billion to do so, of which I’ve financed $840 million at an interest rate of 6%, with a term of 6 years. Construction takes a year, which means that I’ve been paying $4.2 million a month - or $50.4 million a year - of interest payments to stop the loan from ballooning. Once payments start again - a year later - I’m suddenly paying $16.239 million a month in interest and principal payments (or $194.87 million annually), with principal payments ballooning thanks to the loan now having an effective 5 year term. I’m about to find out exactly how rickety the world of data center leasing really is. Finally, my big, beautiful data center - which features 100MW of critical IT load on a 118MW building - is finally ready, and my new client, GPUCorp, moves into the building and starts paying a colocation fee of $130 per kilowatt a month, or $156 million a year. Pretty good, right? Using a simplified version of depreciation - where we depreciate over 15 years - CoCorp would have about $93 million a year in depreciation costs, which leaves us with big, sexy, honking profits of $63 million a year. That’s 59.6% gross margins! We’re printing money! I’m going to be rich! Wait, fuck! Shit! Ass! I just did the minus of $156 million and $194.87 million! That’s…that’s $38.87 million a year! And that’s when I’m getting paid! I have negative 24.9% operating margins! This sucks ass! Though everybody I know says my gross margins ROCK, gross margins are only on paper! Reality sucks! What am I going to do? As I pace around my office with my hands in my pockets, I get an email from the CEO of GPUCorp (His name is “Glent Fudge”) with a subject heading that says “uh oh.” Turns out that GPUCorp can’t afford to pay its own loans, which means it can’t afford to pay me for my big, beautiful data center. I email back a simple request: “PAY ME … I go to Guns Dot Com and I purchase a rifle. It’s time to kill Glent Fudge. I get a phone call. It’s the bank. “Hey Ed, how are you?” my banker (Shelton Crelton) says. “I just read on CNBC that Glent Fudge ran out of money, and your contract explicitly states that we loaned you this money based on you having a tenant for that 118MW data center.” I begin to sweat. “Do you have another to replace them? If not, you’re in default of your loans.” I do not have another tenant. I try to buy another gun, but guns dot com declines my credit card. I am in default on my loans to the bank, and Shelton Crelton can seize my data center.

Today, ICE engaged in a dangerous, high-speed chase in Saint Paul. Their recklessness and disdain for the safety of our residents led directly to a multi-car collision, even if ICE vehicles weren't the ones to hit other cars.

man, so many incredible clowns trained with Gaulier and I’m so thankful that they went there and not me (would not have gotten out of there alive). Clown is a tradition where your work is so informed by those who guide you through it and damn if Gaulier clowns don’t have a special brand of humility

I think it’s just important to point out that this has happened in another context. When the to-be “k ing” visited Cardiff, we accidentally stumbled upon the people waiting to see him drive to the castle. When his car pulled up, people booed (rightfully so imo) and bbc’s reporting changed it.

Why did the American audience apparently hear different audio of JD Vance's appearance at the Olympics than the audio heard by the rest of the world?

NBC denies muting. But it's part of overall disturbing developments in the US corporate media world.

The real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden

VC, founder, dumbass
@Nick_Davidov Asked Claude Cowork organize my wife's desktop, it stated doing it, asked for a permission to delete temp office files, I granted it, and then it goes "ooops" Turns out it tried renaming and accidentally deleted a folder with all of the photos my wife made on her camera for the last 15 years. All photos of kids, their illustrations, friends' weddings, travel, everything. It's not in trash, it was done via terminal It's not in iCloud, it already synced the new file structure. She didn't have Time Machine. Disc recovery tools can't see anything. I called Apple and they pointed me to a feature in iCloud allowing to retrieve files that were saved before but are no longer on iCloud Drive (they keep them for 30 days). I'm now watching it load tens of thousands of files. I nearly had a heart attack.

Our city has started wrapping the windows of empty businesses with art from local artists to try to make it look nice and it was fine up until today when I saw what was CLEARLY an ai scene on the outside of a building.

Absolutely depressing and disappointing.

Whole lot of you following Neil Gaiman, and I assume it's because you forgot you did so and he stopped posting when it was revealed he is a rapist.

Since he's trying to make a return, do yourself a favour and check if you're following @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and if so unfollow and block.
