Most data centers use the same amount of water—or less—than an average large office building. Meanwhile, they're helping lower electricity costs by financing new power generation. The hysteria over AI data centers is going to age very, very poorly.

What a stupid and counterproductive policy*, and cringe meme. [*]not law, but still stupid.

Ro Khanna backed a Nazi tattooed rapist after he was credibly accused of domestic abuse.

To distract from that, he ran to Israel to enter a government restricted area and stage a PR stunt.

If you’re falling for this, you’re an idiot. And apparently, lots of idiots exist.

In France, a man with a genetic illness that has him in a wheelchair and on a ventilator can’t get air conditioning in the middle of a heat wave because his neighbors won’t allow it.

This is a great reminder that there are people who long for endless toil and drudgery, who hate progress in all its forms, who would rather you ride a horse than drive a car or fly on a plane.

And we cannot let them win.

“In order to make people equal, you have to treat them differently. If you treat people alike, the result is necessarily inequality.”

Smoke-filled rooms and conventions are better party nomination devices than primary elections.

Like how many signals did you need to know this guy was bad news?

Sorry, I hate stuff like this. Ketanji Brown Jackson isn't supposed to be "the people's champion." She's not a politician. She's supposed to *interpret* the law, not make it. This kind of thing is why so many people misunderstand how our government works at a basic level.

@sunnyright STFU dude. It’s July 4th for most of the country still. Can you just enjoy the show without being a scold?

@scorp51301 @brianros1 Actually, it’s one of the more reliable indicators

@Barrington4OH15 @CraigWayne4 @byHeatherLong Ratio laws in childcare industry are a major driver of high costs. Childcare providers have to spread costs among fewer headcount. Increases prices for families and reduces incomes of childcare providers

[Matty H @mattyharby]

@HeisenVibe @byHeatherLong There is no evidence that free childcare increases birth rates. See: Hungary, Western Europe, Korea

She voted on the president's power under the law, which properly has nothing to do with her opinion of the wisdom of the policy decision or how it might effect those who share an ethnicity with any of her relatives. Imagine thinking otherwise.

Newsom, having failed to stop a billionaire tax from going on the ballot in his state, wants to bail out California by making the rest of the country suffer the same fate so there's nowhere for his constituents to flee to. That's the whole game here.

@JerryDunleavy Love the closing epilogue. “Once there were brook trout”….
