I know this all looks completely normal to the pol corrs but to the rest of us, it can look like a guy who followed orders, fucked his country but looked after the institutions, and is now being rewarded for his obedience.

A new state-by-state evaluation of the projected energy and water use of "AI" data centers in the US. Looks… real bad. Like, "undoing tech sector climate gains" bad.
Strongly recommends immediately ensuring any & all new "AI" data centers to run on existing & expanded renewables grids. Which… yeah.

We have had 14yrs without a toxic commentary on how our President dresses. I remember the slagging and commentary on Mary R. It would be great to think our media/society has evolved and that President Catherine Connolly will not be subject to that scrutiny.
