Mass. utilities have received requests for an additional 2GW of electricity for proposed data centers. That's equivalent to the annual electricity usage of 85% of all households in the state.
Grid upgrades to accommodate that demand would cost roughly $1 billion. Those costs would be passed on to ratepayers.
I like to randomly yell out the names of Italian meats.
Obviously you have your classics like Bologna, Capocollo (gabagool), Pepperoni, but the real joy comes from the deep cuts, your soppressata, your mortadella, your Strolghino
@edzitron "If you spend $1,000 a month on AI you can actually get $50,000 worth of AI"
"That sounds great, what kind of ROI can I expect on that?"
"You spent 1k and got 50k, that's a 50x ROI!"
"I got 50k worth of AI, but that's not revenue"
"You don't understand, AI is the future!"
The US has quietly deployed 82nd Airborne paratroopers to Israel, per deployment order leaked to me.
The deployment is tied to new US-Israel joint contingency plans for seizing Kharg Island and carving out coastal territory inside Iran.

It's tough to beat June in Northern Michigan! Join me for a variety of events over the next week, including candidate forums, Q&A sessions, and canvassing events with DSA, Indivisible, and the People's Coalition. See you out there!
This is why we can't have nice things in our country. Every vote for a better country is canceled out by a person who doesn't even understand how our government works on the most basic levels.
Independent media is more important than ever.

Absolutely not. This destroys some of America’s most wondrous natural heritage with zero impact on immigration issues.
Bad for Texas, bad for America, and entirely unnecessary.
Gaza is taking its last breaths, and the situation we have reached is extremely dangerous.
Temperatures are rising to suffocating levels, and the tents where hundreds of thousands live have turned into ovens made of fabric and plastic. There is no electricity, no air conditioning, no fans, no cold water. People try to sleep, but heat, hunger, and fear make sleep seem like an impossible dream.
Clean water is scarce, cleaning supplies are almost nonexistent, and essential medicines are unavailable. Skin diseases are spreading in a terrifying way among children and adults, while garbage piles up and sewage mixes with displacement areas, spreading even more suffering.
Long lines form for food, yet many return empty handed. Aid is decreasing, and most relief centers have stopped or are no longer able to meet even the minimum needs.
At night, rats, insects, snakes, and scorpions crawl into the tents, while during the day people face unbearable heat and endless hunger. There is no safety, no privacy, and nowhere to go. Meanwhile, killings and destruction continue daily, while Gaza’s space shrinks day by day, forcing people into smaller and more overcrowded areas.
This is not life. This is not displacement. This is a complete collapse of everything that allows human beings to live with dignity.
What more is the world waiting for? How many children must go hungry? How many patients must die before the world acts? Do not stay silent. Speak about Gaza. Share what is happening.

What happened to that guy we saved from Iran? Remember we sent all those planes and helicopters in to save him in a daring rescue and they made such a big deal of it and now it's like it never even happened. We don't know his name or status and they stopped bragging about the op
@notthemarsh I believe that but as a stickler for playing games in order I can't play it until I beat the first 3 and I can't beat the first 3 because I don't like the first game enough to keep playing it.
Spyro mogs though so I'm hype for more of that
