“In a decade, Pichai said that it'll be normal to build extraterrestrial data centers”.
And he’s definitely not the only one speaking about the *necessity* of data centers in space. Apparently the planet is not big enough for their scaling “laws”.

Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social.
The fossil fuel industry is again urging the Supreme Court to help them escape accountability.

Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

Increasingly concerning that the Trump Admin is obliterating data so we can’t document what they’re destroying. In this case, gold standard tracking of health care access, insurance coverage and costs. It’s a study that will help us understand the impacts of the Big Beautiful Bill.
MEPS seems to be gone as of now. This is very bad. These are critical pieces of data about health care and they belong to the American public.

Love how Democrats are judged by the most unhinged posts of random weirdos but Republicans are never called to answer for the actions of their elected representatives.
Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, just introduced a bill to ban Americans from holding dual citizenship. The bill says that to “preserve the integrity of national citizenship, allegiance to the United States must be undivided.” It’s called the Exclusive Citizenship Act.

Until he starts calling for immediate resignations & impeachments, it's all sort of meaningless words. Shift the Overton window by calling it all what it is & demanding Congressional Republicans who also swore oaths to uphold the Constitution & control both houses fulfill them.
