It really is the 1% versus the rest of us. The stakes couldn't be higher. And the enemy could not be more depraved. Still, we'll win.

HEY FRIENDS!! Did you know that Australia - #2 in the world for data centre investment - is now formally missing its climate targets thanks in large part to the resulting surge in power demand?

Trump's so-called war on drugs to justify alleged war crimes against Venezuela feels eerily like Bush's so-called war on terror to justify invading Iraq. The media should interrogate war mongers, not parrot them. Let's not let history repeat itself.

Executives trying to replace game developers with so-called AI is nothing short of a usurpation.
They’ve always been clueless interlopers who muscled their way in, and it’s disgusting that they’re the ones authorizing themselves to decide who is needed and who is not.
