James Talarico: I’ve rolled out a plan to crack down on these giant data center companies. We’ve got to force them to pay for their own energy instead of jacking up our utility bills. We got to force them to recycle their water so they are not exacerbating the water crisis here in Texas.

South Dakota was the first state to create a system of direct democracy in 1898; the idea was to balance against corporate interests. This fall, voters will decide whether to raise the bar for approving constitutional amendments.

"Disrespectful for Voters": The Dakotas Weigh Raising the Bar for Direct Democracy - Bolts
Frustrated that voters are bypassing the legislatures they control, the GOP is pushing two ballot measures this fall in North Dakota and South Dakota to require a supermajority to amend the state constitutions.

The quality of social housing being built in Paris takes some beating. Yes… this is new social housing! 107 apartments with solid stone facades, designed by AAVP Architecture. Photos by Benoît Santiard Would you just look at that beautiful balustrade!

When the LNG plants were build on the QLD coast ~15 yrs ago, the govt ok'd 3 of them when 1 would do. Such an abdication of public responsibility. Now the gov't can do better. Only allow data centres that build sufficient renewable and consume water resources reasonably.

I'm sure the Kremlin was delighted we voted to leave the EU, but I also think it's passing the buck to blame it on Russian interference. Russia's role in Brexit was tiny compared to that of unscrupulous hedgies, ambitious politicians and decades of lies from right wing newspapers.

The more combative Dems get, the more of this they will run into. It will be a coordinated wave of elite opinion, scolding them, tamping them down. The fight strategy *only* works if they are willing to bull their way through it, blow it off, mock it. (Their history does not raise one's hopes.)

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

Indeed it must. SCOTUS reform, the filibuster, DC and PR statehood...all of it. Don't forget releasing the Epstein files, corruption investigations and prosecutions, expanding the federal juduciary, addressing dark money in campaigns and taxing the top 100.

Incredible shows of bravery from this candidate, who was obviously targetted for years. A full investigation is the least we can do. What needs to happen is deep and profound confrontation of violence against women. Plus, give this incredible leader a microphone. She has things to say! 🇺🇲❤️

Just did a scuba dive with sharks, and am getting a late lunch (4pm) at a pub. Beer, calamari, fries. And listening to live music: an elder millenial playing songs from 1997-2005. I may have died and gone to heaven. How did this American find his way to Australia?? ❤️ 🇺🇲 🇦🇺 🦈 🤿 🍻 Cheers, mates!

As my career transitioned to pure technology, I was surprised at how common neurodivergence is in tech. The issue Prof Cottom mentions below sounds like the challenge of translating a friendly process for the neuro spicy into one for the neuro tyoical. It is so relatable and 100% right.

Eisenhower's matrix looks like time management advice. It isn't. It's about what an organisation is for. One general in our research put it more simply: do only what you alone can do. The rest should be delegated. The delegated work doesn't matter less. The point is that it isn't yours.
This is Eisenhower's matrix. It has two axes: Important vs not important and urgent vs not urgent. That provides a neat 2x2 matrix, helping leaders prioritise their daily tasks.
