As J. P. Morgan estimated late last year, for the data center buildout to pay off, eventually there will need to be a revenue stream from commercial AI equivalent to thirty-five dollars per American iPhone user per month. So if you want to know why Altman looks peaked, or... 7/18

Colorado. Michigan. 28 Democratic party elected officials with a national platform. Anti-trans ads being run by democrats. Ohio Dems censoring its LGBTQ+ caucus. South Carolina dems voting en masse for anti-trans policies. Never think what happened to UK Labour can't happen here.

The UK implementing the mandated segregation of trans people in aspects of society, from bathrooms to hospitals and schools is why I tell people to never vote for anti-trans Dems. They cannot be allowed to spread in the party like the cancer they are. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

4. To vote, you can: a. Mail your completed ballot. Mail before Sunday October 18th to give it enough time. Safer, take your ballot into the post office and have a worker hand-stamp it. You can mail it for free, but if you add postage, that's a safety measure: it's treated as 1st-class mail.

One thing I will note about this, Trump's slashing of ACA subsidies absolutely helps employers trap employees at subpar wages. In many industries (my partner's included) job hops are the only way to increase income. But each hop now effectively means an immediate $1800+ penalty.

What chills me more is that the Atlantic article's author not only scanned Kundieza's work, but also scanned 25 years' worth of Caine Prize awardees to check whether they were human. A prize for African writers. It feels like the literary equivalent of doing a non-consensual genital check.
