So petty
House Speaker Mike Johnson has again delayed the swearing-in of Tucson's Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva as a member of Congress. This is getting ridiculous.

This @wired.com article is extremely timely for those of us in Tucson, Arizona, as we face the possibility of Amazon Web Services building a huge data center at our outskirts. Energy and water use for AI data centers are non-trivial. Read my thread below if you want to hear about our local story ⬇️
AI this, AI that, what about how much energy AI actually uses?
“It blows my mind that you can buy a car and know how many miles per gallon it consumes, yet we use all these AI tools every day and we have absolutely no efficiency metrics, emissions factors, nothing." From the experts:

How Much Energy Does AI Use? The People Who Know Aren’t Saying
A growing body of research attempts to put a number on energy use and AI—even as the companies behind the most popular models keep their carbon emissions a secret.

Please vote for Miranda Schubert for #tucson City Council as the only firm "no" on Project Blue!
Project Blue is a massive $3.6 billion data center proposed near Tucson.
Data centers need large amounts of water for cooling- equivalent to the daily use of around 1,000 households! This will strain local water supplies, raising water bills
High electricity bills from powering & cooling servers

Tucson, your protest sign game is strong. Love how many piñatas are being incorporated. Heartening to see so many pride flags and messages in support of the people of Palestine among all the No Kings signage. 💖

While the horrifying events in Minnesota continue to unfold, it’s important to report that Tucson police are investigating a gunshot that was fired into a vehicle on Thursday outside the home of a member of our Caucus, Representative Alma Hernandez and former Representative Daniel Hernandez.
Awful and disturbing news from Minnesota. There can be no place for political violence in our country. Our thoughts are with Senator Hoffman and Representative Hartman and their families.

having been in many rooms where protests are initially orchestrated, i can say sights like this are a highly desired outcome. protests are inherently theatrical & part of that is triggering state actors to unwittingly adopt the role they were born to play.
