I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

Fascism does not arrive saying “I am fascism.” It arrives saying “law and order,” “border security,” “anti-woke,” “election integrity,” and “national emergency.”

The same regime that screams about free speech wants protesters watched, students punished, immigrants hunted, journalists threatened, and universities intimidated.

America has a ruling class problem. MAGA is what happens when that ruling class convinces workers their real enemy is other workers.

Republicans be like "Come on losers, we're going losing in a state we've never won, and when we lose, we'll cry about how they rigged the election."
Fucking losers.

WOW!

"Seven Republican senators joined Democrats early Friday to block the extension of a powerful government surveillance program — Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act — in a direct rebuke of Trump’s decision to appoint Bill Pulte, a major Republican donor and heir to a home construction fortune with zero intelligence experience, as acting Director of National Intelligence.

The procedural vote failed 47 to 52. The program — which allows US intelligence agencies to collect communications of foreign targets without a warrant — is set to expire by June 12th.

Senate Majority Leader Thune said the chamber “will take another run at it” next week but expressed little confidence it would pass, calling Democrats’ position “terribly irresponsible” while notably failing to mention the seven Republicans who crossed the aisle.

The Pulte appointment has alarmed members of both parties. Democratic Senator Mark Warner, vice-chair of the Senate intelligence committee, told NPR that Pulte was selected solely because he was “100% loyal to doing anything and everything Trump demands” and warned that appointing someone with no intelligence, law enforcement, or congressional experience would amount to “almost unilaterally disarming” against adversaries including Russia, China, and Iran.

“We have no idea whether the individual even has a security clearance,” Warner said."

An Ohio fire department is warning that AI data centers are quickly becoming a full-time job for first responders.

In Jerome Township, northwest of Columbus, emergency crews have been called to two Amazon data centers a staggering 84 times in just four years. Since the first facility opened in 2021, firefighters have responded to dozens of incidents, averaging about two calls per month.

Then came the major fire.

In April, a two-alarm blaze at one of the sites caused more than $50 million in damage and tied up emergency crews for over 24 hours.

Local officials aren’t just worried about the fires themselves. They’re concerned that precious emergency resources are being repeatedly diverted to these massive industrial complexes, all at taxpayer expense.

Data centers are sprouting up across America as tech companies scramble to build the massive infrastructure needed to power artificial intelligence. These facilities house thousands of servers that run nonstop, consuming vast amounts of electricity and generating intense heat that requires constant cooling.

While data center fires remain relatively rare, they can be exceptionally challenging to fight. The buildings are packed with electrical systems, battery backups, complex cooling infrastructure, and high-security zones that often hinder emergency access.

Ohio has emerged as one of the nation’s fastest-growing data center hubs, with more than 170 facilities already operating and many more under construction or in planning.

This growth mirrors a global explosion in hyperscale data centers, driven by the skyrocketing demand for AI computing power. Every response, AI image, or large language model ultimately relies on physical servers somewhere in the world.

While these facilities bring jobs and economic investment, many communities are feeling the strain, on power grids, water supplies, roads, and now, local emergency services.

@GovNuclear Explain the three loop system (heating, steam, cooling) pointing out that the steam loop is the one that drives the turbine; explain the difference between fuel rods and control rods, and how they interact; explain how the whole process works with hand gestures in about 3 minutes

Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:

“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.

Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.

Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”
