Not my usual kind of read but I'm so glad I picked this up. It offers insight to a wealthy family but also provides a lot of historical context. And the writing is excellent! I'll be looking for Cooper & Howe's other books.

Fuck every proud boy. This is the minimum behavior they deserve. Why the hell was he getting a press conference?
Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

“Data centers are expected to continue trending toward using dirtier, more carbon-intensive forms of energy (like gas) to fill immediate needs, leaving clouds of emissions in their wake.”
“The carbon intensity of electricity used by data centers was 48% higher than the US average.”

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.
The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

Why aren't the older democrats supporting young up and coming Democratic leaders? I'll tell you why these young, energetic people, our future leaders, make the established elites very nervous with their talk of economic justice. Clyburn, Pelosi, your stock options will have to wait. Be supportive.

I know this is probably an extreme position, but we are in an extreme moment: Chuck Schumer should resign, and we should develop a pressure campaign to make him miserable until he does. (Simultaneously, we should pressure Hochul to appoint AOC to replace him, if we can break his spirit.)

This is why I’m quadrupling down on my internet culture reporting alongside politics. Because even though the country is being toppled, we’ve lost the ability to even tell people that, and we can’t move forward until we get it back
1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed.
Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance.
My org @mmfa.bsky.social did this study and has been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

As a farmer up here in the North Country, most of our potash fertilizer comes from Canada.
Higher tariffs will make it more expensive for farmers to grow their crops, which means higher food prices at the grocery store.
