American life has become digitized. Here’s a look at all the things we do that require “compute” hubs, and how many.

What’s our personal data center footprint? We might use 58 to 87 data centers each day.

A lab worker’s death after a reported accident in Russia has raised concern for #plague. A reminder: As the US dismantles public health, we weaken our ability to detect and contain the next threat. Cutting surveillance doesn’t eliminate danger. It makes us slower to see it.

A Drone Killed Three Ukrainians. It Was Guided Entirely by A.I.

An attack by what Ukrainian officials said was a Russian drone with an Nvidia chip presages a dystopian future of weaponry untethered to humans.

On this day in 1958, after violent resistance to integrating Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, white residents voted to close local public schools rather than comply with federal desegregation orders.

When RFK Jr “sees parents holding a child, he urges them not to vaccinate them; in that way, he believes that he has “saved” that child. He has also said that if he could go back in time, he would pay any amount of money not to have vaccinated his own children.” Superb piece by Dr Offit 👇👇👇

Doing a basic calculation using a chatbot instead of a calculator uses between 2.5 million and 62 million times more energy. And using chatbots for calculations is *extremely common* - the companies have marketed these systems as general purpose, everything-apps!

Inspectors general play a critical role in keeping government accountable. But their independence is under threat. Congress must act to restore robust oversight. bit.ly/4zOOOeN

Restoring Independence to Government Watchdogs

Stronger job protections, auditing standards, and oversight are needed to allow inspectors general to do their jobs effectively.

One person who amasses a trillion dollars is morally the same as one person who kills millions of people, cuts off food aid to millions of starving refugees, or shuts millions of people out of healthcare access. Only morally bankrupt persons could amass that much wealth

When you've put an old blanket on your bed to protect pillows and sheets from dog hair and the chonky-boy finds them anyway.

A dark brindle greyhound is wedged between pillows on a bed. The pillows are off-limits, but this chonky boy doesn't care.

You build an administrative record by making OMB respond to very important, narrow issues. Right now, this is rulemaking that applies to every agency without regard to statutory context. Pick an agency and go to town. Does the VA engage in scientific decisionmaking: no, so why is it in there?

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

America, where the air is poisoned over the capital city during a dangerous heat wave, in the middle of the night, for the entertainment of people who enjoy the show from air-conditioned venues paid for with tax dollars. Later, they sleep while crews breathe smoke in the heat to clean up the mess.

Every July 4, we do the same thing. Hunker down with apoplectic dogs and watch them suffer until the oblivious neighbors get their jollies. I really hope no one in the neighborhood is a combat vet with PTSD. I can't wait to move out of here.

Getting back to this was always the goal of Republicans which is why they’ve been the traditional party touting a return to federalism. The Democratic Party turning to the same system in the hopes of “lowering the temperature” is literally the compact northern lawmakers made with southerners.

So people who never had a cervix, if you were too old to get an HPV vaccine when they first recommended them for all kids, talk to your doctor. They’ve revised the age recommendation up. HPV causes head and neck, penile, and anal cancers. We have a vaccine that prevents cancer, go get it.

White people could totally and completely dismantle racism if they wanted to. In fact, research suggests this would require a mere 3.5% of white people. Problem is, white ppl don’t comprehend how many other white ppl there are—you folks are upwards of 75% of the voting population. Work together‼️
