Louisiana has to build three new natural gas power plants to accommodate the "AI" data center that Meta just crammed through because said center will use *Three Times* as much electricity (and, thus, attendant resources) as the *Entire City Of New Orleans*, every year. Y'all this isn't sustainable.

La. regulators approve Entergy power plants for Meta’s AI data center
Louisiana Public Service Commissioners voted four to one to approve Entergy’s three new gas plants to power Meta’s largest-ever data center.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Well, here's a pic of a standing-room-only meeting yesterday of Chicagoans taking in detailed instructions to document and respond to ICE raids, and a magnificent speech by Alder Andre Vasquez one how to listen to our neighbors who voted for Trump, honoring the anxieties that got them there.

interesting that in all the reporting about Trump’s inauguration the 4 richest men are named as sitting behind him, but the 5th richest man was up there too: Bernard Arnault of LVMH. Fashion evades detection in plain sight. This is why I wrote a whole book www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/718126...
