This is physically unsustainable for all life on earth.
The plans for data centers - if they succeed - guarantee that we burn the world down and blow every climate tipping point.
The fierce debate here is not just about "speed" but about who gets to decide and how we plan the entire economy.

i was actually shocked to see the numbers on new research from Global Energy Monitor on new gas projects in the US: nearly 100 gigawatts of power—enough to power tens of millions of homes—are currently in development explicitly to power data centers. At the end of 2023 that number was 4 gigawatts
Data Centers Are Driving a US Gas Boom
Gas projects in the US pipeline explicitly linked to data centers increased by almost 25 times over the past two years, according to new research from Global Energy Monitor.

TIL both chocolate and vanilla were products of pre-Columbian indigenous peoples.
Like what the fuck do you mean vanilla comes from a tiny pocket of Veracruz Mexico?
What do you mean potatoes, tomatoes, squash, chili peppers are ALL new world foods and yet European scholars of the era believed in New World Degeneracy theory?

HUD seems to be holding back the 2025 homeless count numbers.
An overall decline in numbers, as estimated by experts, may not support HUD's announced drastic policy changes.
FYI, Nashville's 2025 saw a 4.1% increase over 2024; 13.8% increase since 2022; & still a 8.8% overall decrease since 2016.

Here's the quiet part being spoken out loud. If you don't believe that Trump and all of his goons believe the same as Fuentes, you are blind. This is the agenda--get rid of the "coloreds" and any white people who take their side.
"Race traitors" Renee Good and Alex Pretti were "not acting like citizens," Fuentes says. I don't think I have seen anyone on the right link whiteness and citizenship so explicitly.

An agency like this doesn't care what "reforms" the Dems approve of. They already don't follow the law. Another law is unlikely to restrain them. Abolish ICE now!
An extraordinary document. Read it.
“Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”
