That’s how breaking stories minutes old unfold….first there are unconfirmed reports that turn out to be false…then they sort it all out. If this runs counter to your priors, try to remain in the world of facts

I bought my Meta Glasses specifically for recording police behavior at the No Kings protests I attend. It’s the only time I’ve used them. I’m thrilled he made it so doing that stays legal If Newsom didn’t

“It only works if the president is capable of feeling shame. We can’t make a law to account for everything terrible one can do. And you wouldn’t want to live in a world where we did” Paraphrased from Josh Barro on yesterday’s Tim Miller podcast. We are living in the stupest timeline

Blue MAGA So many human rights abuses in Gaza. Group punishment & Intentional starvation of civilians. Like a 9-11 truther, or Alex Jones, you imply that Netanyahu staged a hijacking? What does this do to the persuadable who live in the world of facts?

Yes, weird how there’s never anything on my BlueSky feed about Israel doing genocide in Occupied Palestine. Someone should do something about that.

Robert, most of the new hyperscale data centers, and all of the new ones in arid climates, use closed loop cooling systems. 10s of gallons of water per day. This moral panic might not age well and I encourage you to look into the building science behind the data centers or talk to an expert

The illiberal left loves to play this moral value game with data centers, gentrification, etc. What’s your take on Elks Lodges, VFW chapters, Lions Clubs, Moose Lodges, honors fraternities, service fraternities, professional fraternities? Are they allowed? Who decides?

We don’t ban unions because some have been convicted We don’t ban companies because some have been convicted We don’t ban political parties because some have been convicted Terrible things happen at fraternities because THE FRAT is kicked out and few individual repercussions for INDIVIDUALS

The problem isn’t that Schmitt didn’t prove that Smith was in Atlanta Nor that Atlanta is large and being there doesn’t mean he was colluding w Fani Willis it’s that it is routine for federal and local prosecutors to confer in related crimes: “parallel coordination” or “cooperative federalism”

copperbook.bsky.social @copperbook.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Cmon, dude So many human rights abuses in Gaza by the IDF. group punishment. Intentional starvation of civilians. Then people like you have to go all ridiculous-conspiracy-theory and imply that Netanyahu planned Oct 7? Like a 9-11 truther…or maybe you’re a bot?

Kennedy was one of six Republican senators to object to the certification of Arizona's electors in the 2020 presidential election. The other five: Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, Tommy Tuberville, Roger Marshall, and Cindy Hyde-Smith.

Can we please make more of the Robin role that Senator Kennedy took in rushing over to hold up that poster behind Senator Schmitt’s head? It’s like a beta who really wants to be in the MAGA social media photo.

Jack Smith was chosen for a reason. Super impressive. Knowledgeable on law. Captain America. Why do republicans keep calling him to the hill to testify hoping it will make them look good? It reminds everyone of Trump’s culpability on January 6. Seems like an own goal.

“Free Palestine” can mean Two states, one democratic and the other, we’ll see a more democratic Israel with rights for all A Palestinian state that includes all of Israel, we’ll see what system of government later Right of return for descendants Expulsion of Jews Which does it mean to you?

I can watch Alfred Hitchcock movies to train on before making a very similar type of thriller….all legal. Looking forward to my forthcoming Anthropic settlement check personally Maybe they need to change the law, but training on protected intellectual property isn’t currently considered theft.

We desperately need to regulate AI the way we regulate anything else that dangerous But don’t ban data centers because AI could be dangerous …we don’t ban cash, we prosecute tax evasion

The anti-data-center moral panic parallels climate change conversations with republican friends (and older liberals) When climate change comes up, they change the subject to recycling the way we change the AI subject to data centers It has to be something we can touch to understand it?

Not my goal to convince you to love data centers or factories….i don’t love either But recognize that, at first approximation, data centers are factories Not an empty vessel to dump ideas about the aesthetics of tech bros, NIMBYism, and AI security & job loss fears Nuance and self awareness pls

Why, specifically, are data centers different than other factories or warehouses?

So much is luck. Mohammed Atta was taxiing a plane with engine trouble at Miami Intl 9 mos before he took down the towers. Just left it there on the taxi apron and fled in a rental car. Actor James Woods reported two of the future hijackers acting suspiciously on a flight No investigation

Some early reports: the online data centers backlash was orchestrated by, or at least amplified by, Chinese bots hoping to catch up with US frontier models. If that turns out to be true, AOC, Hochul, Pritzker, and others may regret jumping on this moral panic. www.axios.com/2026/08/28/c...

Could be…it is common for factories and warehouses to locate on farmland so as to not have neighbors that might have to hear noise, breathe particulates, see light pollution, etc.. Again, what makes data centers different than these other factories (none of which is benign)?
