FBI Director Kash Patel this week has faced the worst data breach in FBI history, a deputy who quit because Patel was doing too many unconstitutional things, and partied with a suspected double agent. And it's only Tuesday. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-disgra...

A Crusoe (fossil fuel company powering data centres) claimed no protesters at NY climate wk live near a data centre - but as @mollytaft.com points out, why is that relevant when climate impacts *everyone* *everywhere*? We *all* live near data centres, in that regard www.wired.com/story/data-c...

A day before the panel, at a different briefing, I watched BloombergNEF analysts talk about the group’s projections of a massive new influx of demand for fossil fuel power over the coming years, driven primarily by data centers. Data centers, according to BNEF’s analysis, will likely comprise more than 5 percent of global electricity demand by 2035, tripling their needs now. The majority of that demand will be met by new and existing natural gas plants, and could raise the power sector’s emissions by 6 percent in less than 10 years.
That doesn’t even account for gas power plants being built off the grid to service data centers. A separate BNEF analysis of 99 proposed on-site gas power plants found that they could increase US power sector emissions by 20 to 33 percent if they’re all built, posing a major climate threat. Declines in emissions from coal plant retirements will be more than offset by new gas emissions, and more coal plants are staying online thanks to the new demand.
Even if data centers pull off the PR turnaround of the century and ease concerns about water use and energy bills, the fossil fuel buildout still looms as one of the biggest consequences of their buildout. Extinction Rebellion may, at the end of the day, be right: all those added emissions mean that even those of us who aren’t living near data centers will end up feeling their impacts.

Wow!!

In the current moment of rising extremism, not all polarization is equivalent nor undesirable. Historical experience underscores this asymmetry. Normative appeals to civility and harmony, when applied indiscriminately, can obscure the moral distinction between domination and resistance—condemning confrontational opposition even in contexts where democratic survival or basic human dignity is at stake. Under conditions of systematic persecution, conflict is not a pathology of democracy but one of the few remaining mechanisms through which injustice can be resisted.

my feeling about this is that if you reframe "engineering" into "how to responsibly build, manage, and maintain large scale systems essential to public welfare" then it is really obvious why it is essential to a republican model of government
