"The evidence continues to grow. Social media, as it is currently constructed, redounds to the net benefit of illiberal regimes and their allies in democracies. The question is what to do about it." www.liberalcurrents.com/social-media...
Social Media Has Not Brought Liberation

Social media has been a boon to autocratic regimes and their allied movements in democracies.

As a staffer of a state commissioner, I can say from experience you’re right. This incredibly niche area of public policy - the statutes, rules, and fees that determine commission staff positions and pay - are the linchpin for many electricity and energy outcomes in our country.

Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.

Genuinely abundant, cheap, accessible energy has vastly more liberatory potential than AI, for vastly more people -- especially more poor people. Which, I guess, is your answer.

Louisiana’s PSC rejected an independent judge’s ruling today that would have forced the tech giant Meta to turn over key information about its large data centers in Richland Parish. That includes documents on permanent jobs, economic projections and energy demand: www.wwno.org/politics/202...

The EIA projects a 52% increase in the price of gas from '25 to '32 in their Annual Energy Outlook. We should use gas for less things and/or export less of it.

I work in utility regulation in Louisiana, & the answer here - for the business leaders & public officials who are considering these projects - is economic development. I AM NOT ENDORSING THAT ANSWER, but it’s the message that so far has won the day. Just - We’re a poor state. These are jobs. Sold.
