These ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking."
It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.

"datacenters in space" is SO stupid that I feel like it's like a cry for help, like those seven tech dipshits on the group chat whence this sprung are saying "please, take all this money away from us, it's nothing but trouble, we can't handle it"
I’m but a simple country theoretical physicist, and I can say, in my professional capacity, “datacenters in space” is so colossally, monumentally stupid that it is difficult to know where to start with which laws of physics the idea is spitting in the face of the most.

Generative AI, in both form and content, and whether looked on favourably or critically, seems to embody a collective hopelessness about the prospect of human learning and creativity, if not human knowledge altogether. It’s as if climate change had fans.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Dig deep enough into any well funded crapass movement against human rights and you’ll hit oil.
Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos.
It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry.

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement
An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.

I don't understand people picking fights, especially with trans folks, about a hypothetical Newsom nomination 3 years from now. Just fight for better alongside them. It's not hard. You have time. And there are more urgent fights than the 2028 election right now. Join those.

This is a very problematic stance. Population growth is only one component of the ecological crisis. A much more substantial problem is the fixation on economic growth to support wealth hoarding. The focus on population growth hits the poor more than the rich, when they are the least of our problems

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.
The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

I have never seen anything like the NYTimes reaction to Momdani.
Mamdani’s salary has him in the middle-income band as a single person, per NYC’s housing dept. His wife’s income isn’t public but he’s around 130% of AMI. That’s a level that eligible to apply for some of NYC’s affordable housing lotteries. This is not in the article.
