I believe 99% of congress also lied to get their jobs. Scotus candidates always couch their answers so that they cannot be held accountable for them. One should note they are almost always lawyers.

This is about as close as you can get to explicitly saying, "don't worry, she doesn't *need* to know anything or think for herself."

Public policy should be evidence-based. The NIH banning policy research is a not-so-subtle admission that this administration is ideology, not fact-driven.

A district court judge dismissed the Trump administration’s antisemitism lawsuit against Harvard on Thursday, concluding that the alleged incidents were “too isolated and episodic” to show that Harvard remained in violation of federal civil rights law. More: substack.com/@shero/note/...

Seems someone read Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress and thought it was a blueprint. One problem is that the book was published 3 years before we actually walked on the moon. He was a smart man but didn't know what the actual conditions were there.

They aren't running out of munitions. They are running out of the expensive specialized munitions they chose to fight their war with. They haven't touched traditional conventional munitions.

I'm really glad they're continuing to push on this. I know it isn't the norm to sanction DOJ attorneys and DEFINITELY isn't the norm to actually go for the heavy artillery, but multiple DOJ attorneys need to lose their jobs and ability to practice over this and should also be prosecuted criminally.

🦔Google's electricity consumption jumped from 31 to 43 terawatt hours in a single year, the largest increase in the company's history. Google now uses more electricity than New Zealand. Emissions rose 18%. Water consumption climbed 34% to 10.9 billion gallons.

My Take
Google's electricity didn't just grow. The rate at which it grew also grew. That's exponential, and Google admitted it when it said AI infrastructure expands faster than the power grid can decarbonize. If you know you're building faster than the grid can handle and you keep going, the climate target isn't hard to reach. You gave up on it and haven't said so.

Google claims its products avoided 41 million tonnes of emissions in 2025, more than the company's entire footprint. Most of that comes from Google crediting itself for clean energy projects that used Google Earth to pick a site. By that logic Google Docs helped write every climate policy drafted on it. Amazon now emits more than New Zealand and Henrico County asked its teachers to turn off the lights so data centers could stay on. The companies pledged net zero before the AI buildout and every one of them went backward. Google's report says the path won't be linear. They're right. It's exponential, in the wrong direction.

The irony is they are replacing all their non-union humans with agents run by a single organization that can demand changes in wages (aka token costs) overnight without bargaining.

Unfortunately, grocery stores want you to buy more groceries. I know Albertsons deliberately switch product locations annually so you have to spend time searching and as a result pass by more products.

When he testified yesterday, Blanche pretended that it's normal to settle a Privacy Act claim by zeroing out criminal and civil tax liability. If Trump won his case, he'd be entitled to MONEY, and nothing else. It's a lawsuit, not an audit! www.publicnotice.co/p/weaponizat...
