While AI remains a solution in search of a problem, FB is investing hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars into data centers. So incredibly dystopian to live in a country with virtually unlimited data center funding while taking food away from children www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Zuckerberg says Meta will build data center the size of Manhattan in latest AI push

The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich.
It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense — yet that's what this GOP budget is all about.

Republican legislators want to kill 50,000 Americans per year, let children go hungry, and take health care from seniors, to pay for tax cuts for the rich. Beyond disgusting. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

In addition to its massive cuts for the nation's poorest residents' health care & food security, the Senate GOP's bill would add $3.3 trillion to the national debt, cut taxes for the richest, and eliminate most climate programs passed as part of the 2022 IRA.
The Senate just passed the largest cut to low-income programs in a single law in history. It would rip health insurance from more than 10 million people & take food assistance away from millions of households, including families w/ kids.
It now goes to the House where we have a chance to defeat it.

The pieces of the Harbor Loop Trail have the makings of something really special for Norwalk, once it’s (finally) completed. Too bad even the northern end can’t escape the eternal noise of I95

Happy to see NY building more nuclear, which must be part of the solution of decarbonizing our energy grid. Some so called environmental groups refuse to recognize that when nuclear plants are shuttered, they are replaced by fossil powered gas plants www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Lamont vetoes H.B. 5002 housing bill, sets local 'buy-in' as priority
Gov. Ned Lamont sided with suburban towns and Republican legislators who had urged him to nix H.B. 5002 as an intrusion into local zoning.
