Data centres are being marketed as 'vital cogs in the energy transition', but the metaphor is wrong. They're black holes, sucking up time, light, matter and energy from the decarbonisation space and redeploying it to protecting big tech's profits.

Ford is pulling back on EVs and getting in on the AI boom
The Detroit auto giant said on Monday it would pull back from electric vehicles in a move that would cost the company nearly $20 billion.

For decades, the GOP has worked to “defund” Planned Parenthood, whose clinics provide a range of reproductive health services. In July, the GOP majority in Congress largely accomplished that goal.

The consequences could be felt far into the future. trib.al/D5MjwTi

If you think Trump is vile wait until you see what the young Republicans just did at their gala. This event demands far more coverage. The young Republicans invited and celebrated white nationalists, far-right German politicians and more. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/if-you-thi...

My favorite tyrant joke: a man comes every day and peers at the front page of the newspaper without buying it.

The newspaper vendor says, "what are you looking for?"
"An obituary."
"Obituaries aren't on the front page."
"This one will be."

News Analysis: Australia has long looked warily at the cycle of gun violence in the U.S., where meaningful changes in policy have been rare. But within 48 hours of the Bondi Beach shooting, Australia pledged to further tighten its gun laws, already some of the most restrictive in the world.

Wow, this 🔥

While Trump was repulsively disparaging Rob Reiner after he and his wife were murdered

And callously dismissing the Brown shooting-which left two dead and nine wounded

ICE was needlessly attacking more hard-working immigrants at gunpoint

Because the Trump administration’s racism never sleeps
In Amherst, New York, an ICE raid on a roofing crew resulted in one worker being slammed into a snowbank and kidnapped. Another worker, who posed no threat, was threatened at gunpoint while standing on the roof.

Well, this is an utter disaster for science.

This gutting of peer review is very likely driven by Project 2025/OMB/Vought, very likely is about funding junk science, and very likely is coming for #NIH and biomedical research next.

The key thing here will be what lines the state alliances break along. If it’s the electrical power co-ops or the public health mutual aid, we got a real thing going.

Trump’s secret police are abducting U.S. citizens and Green Card holders — just because of how they look, what language they speak, or where they hang out.

They are racially profiling people, ignoring the Constitution, and breaking the law.

Stop normalizing this crazy person.

He is nuts, mentally fucked up, boarding on demented.

If he was a regular person and not the leader of the free world, he would be in a locked mental home, or a memory care facility.

He is a psychopath! No one should normalize a psychopath!

Not EVER!!!
Reporter: Many Republicans are horrified by your sick, disgusting response to the murder of Rob Reiner. Would you like to say something a little less psychopathic?

Trump: Nah.

Everyone in this admin, from the president on down, rushes to social media to put things out rather than act responsibly and prudently. Always looking to declare victory while seeking praise.

I truly feel for everyone dealing with the Brown investigation. We have capable and transparent police and investigators in Rhode Island who are clearly working their asses off to get answers. They have to deal with a clown show of an FBI.
