Alrighty. Election results are getting canvassed and winners are getting sworn in.
Nothing too exciting here:
2 incumbents won unopposed,
1 won opposed,
And 2 minor charter amendments passed.
The big one is in June, to do the D3 runoff winner

Car based mobility is expensive on a good day, but it's very expensive on a bad day. What's the over/under on damages from this fairly minor crash? Between car damage, first responder costs, and medical, maybe $30,000?

New article from @edzitron.com ripping into the company Core Scientific is contracted to build the AI data center for.
Among other things, it was supposed to IPO last week to raise billions of dollars (presumably for things like the allegedly $6.1B Denton campus). It didn't.

![Again, these are estimates, as we don't know Microsoft's exact costs, but it's reasonable to believe that its contracted compute with CoreWeave was likely to facilitate OpenAI's growth, which is further ratified by The Information's AI data center database, which reports that the upcoming data center buildout in Denton, Texas is, and I quote, "...[for] Microsoft [to] rent to use by OpenAI."
And you'll never guess who's building it. That's right, Core Scientific, which announced on February 26 2025 that it was partnering with CoreWeave to expand its relationship across its Denton, Texas location.
It's unclear how this data center gets built, or whether OpenAI will actually use it given its new plans for a "Stargate" data center in Abilene Texas, and the general chilling of the relationship with Microsoft. Furthermore, Microsoft's indeterminately-sized cancellations with CoreWeave pair with its own retreat from data center buildouts, which coincides with Microsoft releasing OpenAI from its exclusive cloud compute provider relationship, which coincides with OpenAI's plans to build gigawatts of its own capacity.
How, exactly, does any of this make sense?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f3vjhvr5pclz56mxe6vyd4oz/bafkreify2vfiwvlfwbygdzmnfnnpsofvqi7yilfg2xzv2loexw76yqslt4@jpeg)

Alrighty I am at City Council. Tracey Duckworth is here again for the first comment. She says she has realized city council "don't care" about homeless people. She says people are dying on the streets "right now."
