The thing elided in the MAHA discussion is that Americans eat garbage because capitalism rewards corporations for selling us stuff we can't resist, which in general means sugar fat and salt.

You will see the number 0.3 Wh per A.I. query going around and it’s important to note this is the *median* not the mean (average).
For example, U.S. median income is $42k but U.S. mean income is $66k. When there are high outliers, using the median is a way to make the numbers appear lower.

HEY friends: recently seen heaps of "disclosures" from AI companies of the energy cost per question you type into chatbots (most recently from Google)?
Presenting per-query 'efficiency' is part of big tech's efforts to hide its extremely real and happening-right-now climate impacts!

Israel has claimed that the killing of seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen in April 2024 was accidental.
Since October 2023, it has killed over 450 humanitarian workers and 1450 healthcare workers. It consistently targets the infrastructure for aid delivery. GHF "aid" hubs are kill zones.

Artists and journalists have paid the price for having a political opinion. Nothing more – and sometimes barely even that. Lattouf, Sabsabi, Wyld, Sakr etc are only the most public cases; we’ll never know about those who were silenced, quietly excluded or denied opportunities in the first place.

It’s absurd and embarrassing in a liberal democracy to have to say this, but people shouldn’t be punished for protesting against genocidal oppression, or speaking about it.
So many cultural institutions have done this very thing though - and damaged themselves in the process.
