This post from SemiAnalysis is well worth reading, to get a direct insight into how the AI industry is completely disconnected from the climate consequences of what they're doing.

Odd, centrist/whatever types like Third Way seemed pretty comfortable when forces like pro-Israel big money groups were paying to unseat Democratic incumbents in 2024. www.thirdway.org/memo/the-202...

The 2024 Primary Losers
Third Way is a national think tank and advocacy organization that champions moderate policy and political ideas. Our work on the center left acts as a critical bulwark against political extremism.

RE: LRT, pretty much every atrocity taking place in ICE jails has a precedent in US jails and prisons. We urgently need to abolish ICE, but we can't stop there.

Steven Colbert. I am more lonely. Friends are great, but they are not here with me four nights a week. News is just sad, frightening, and infuriating now. I don't know how to make it funny. I used to share a smidge of sanity and incredulity with millions of other people. That felt good.

If you care about voting rights, if you care about the Constitution, If you care about equality, liberty, and the future of democracy, watch this, please. Nothing will change until we realize SCOTUS is a political arm of MAGA. #ExpandSCOTUS #ExpandtheCourt youtu.be/j1psfo0GiDQ?...

Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Also, if people want the NYT to pay a price, cancel your games and recipe subs. The Times is basically a digital subscription house which runs a small newspaper on the side.

California : Dem. gubernatoral candidates, sacrifice now for the good of the state and the planet. Throw your support behind Swalwell and Porter, and you will still have a strong political future. If you stay in and elect a MagaGOP. Gov., you will never be forgiven. Do the right thing.

In today's U.S: empathy, honesty, Calibri font, and science are all suspect. Soon we will remove wheelchair ramps and ban all handwashing. Our most supreme jurists will decree that disability access denies some agile person's rights. And trumpfaith will prevent infection. Ya gotta believe.

Why do we want AI to pre-read our internet searches? It is never ever helpful. (I can read, thank you.) - It is burning tons of petroleum willy nilly in a blind rush to do something-something-future-money. I am not at all appreciative. Fix the planet first, then make some future geegaws.

Yes. 2/3 of Europe survived the Black Plague. All the people who don't die from his wars, medieval healthcare, homelessness, or climate disaster will survive. No biggie.

The constitution is anti-maga and, therefore, is a treasonous document. Just ask John Roberts. He'll explain. I think the reason is either Jesus or Koch Industries.

Why bother with security? Doesn't he text/chat with all the super dictators, invite them into the oval, Camp David, Mar-a-magat? No one else will ever use this plane. Just accept it. Putin and Saudis and Israel set our policies. What secrets do we think they keep?

Question: does the legal authority still matter in America? Where is the legal authority to pick up people from the streets & make them disappear? Legal authority to pay for prison in El Salvador? The legal authority is not essential, and if needed, John Roberts's court will readily grant it!

This is so important, and so well written. The GOP is fiercely organized at the grassroots level. The Dems will continue to see their superior candidates lose lose lose unless we do the work.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Just a day before the tragic deadly midair collision, the MAGA regime contacted FAA employees aka air traffic controllers and offered them buyouts in exchange for their resignations. The American state media may want to ignore this fact, but I won’t ignore it nor forget it.
