"The gambler's interest, once it takes root, is so powerful that it will warp the game, pushing the sporting interest aside like a tree root pushing away a sidewalk." -- Bill James, The Politics of Glory, 1994.

I just heard @npr.org say "no one knows how to fairly divvy up the bill" regarding the increase in utility costs due to data centers. Easy. Data centers pay. The infrastructure, increase, their own bills. If I walk into a store and fuck up everything in there, I have to pay for it. Why don't they?

"But the handicapped need cars!" No, what they need are options in mobility. The tech exists to enable their freedom of independent mobility, but almost always what is lacking is the enabling infrastructure. Bike lanes and quality sidewalks serve everyone.

We’re all just being forced to take on the struggle between democratic resilience and authoritarian escalation and we shouldn’t have to. Throw the whole Congress out. We need leadership that would never let something like this get this far.

Federal immigration goons use their vehicles to confront a crowd of demonstrators protesting ICE in Tacoma, in what eyewitnesses say was an attempt by the suspected Feds to intimidate them. You can see the crowd stand their ground, and the goons drive off.

The top half of USPS boxes were red until after the Tet Offensive in'68, when people painted a yellow star in the middle to turn it into the Viet Cong National Front flag. If people do this right, this time they may be painting them white.
