Gov. Newsom vetoed a bill that would have tracked data centers’ growing water footprint. He says California is “well positioned” to support the AI-driven data center boom, and he is reluctant to impose “rigid reporting requirements.” www.latimes.com/environment/...

One of these days someone in the Democratic Party is going to hijack the word conservative from the extremists and reactionaries, make conservative arguments for leftist economic approaches, and put the fanatics on the defensive. But for now the Democrats continue ceding the language to the right.
I am always confused about why GOP extremists still say they are conservative, when their party is spendthrift and neglectful, while we speak daily about conserving treasure, resources, health and the environment.
The religious "conservatives" disturb me because what they seek is not Christian.

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

SpaceX is altering atmospheric chemistry. Over 525 Starlinks deorbited in the past few months. A Starlink satellite produces 30 KG of aluminum oxide vapor which erodes the ozone layer. These oxides have increased 8-fold between 2016 and 2022. NOAA predicts this could heat the stratosphere 1.5°C

The anti-science Trumpers may be planning to destroy two working satellites that provide vital measurements about carbon dioxide & climate (and data that forecasts crop yield, drought conditions, & more). They cost $750 million to make but only $15 million/yr to operate.
