It should disturb you to no end that the US government is doing extrajudicial murder of random people on the ocean. No trial, no evidence, no due process. And now nobody even bothers to talk about it. The number of people killed may be over 200 now.
White phosphorus ignites instantly on contact with oxygen. It burns at over 800°C. It melts through clothing, skin, muscle — and bone.
In the bloodstream, it becomes a systemic poison. It attacks the heart, liver, and kidneys leading to multi‑organ failure and death.
Monsters.
Louisiana has decided to cede the entire parole decision-making process to an algorithm that will decide if you die in prison or not. There will be no human input or nuance allowed. Even our parole board is sickened by this.

White women have been calling Black women "Shenaenae", "La'Quisha", and "ShaNiqua" in a demeaning manner since the 80's. Latinas were called "Consuela", "Guadalupe", or "Maria" and Asian women were called "Ling-Ling", but the moment ‘Karen’ became a meme criticizing entitled behavior, suddenly people wanted to talk about respect and stereotyping.
This is the type of damage that is non-reversible and will not go away with a new president. Once this data center is built and starts running, that’s it. So either people get together to stop it now, or we sit back and watch as the elite slowly kill us.
This is outrageous.
A small town in Michigan did everything right to stop OpenAI & Oracle from building a $16 billion data center in their town.
The people of Saline Township flooded their council meeting, put up signs all over town, and convinced their officials to reject it.
The officials voted against the data center 4-1, and that should have been the end. But two days later the developers sued, and the town couldn’t afford to fight back in court.
We are not a free nation when billion-dollar corporations can take over the land of our communities and towns. We are a captive nation ruled by corporations and billionaires.
@lilyraynyc@filiwiese@athenseo I've been reading about how AI is mostly citing social media like Reddit and LinkedIn. Why are we still preoccupied with Google? Even Gen Z is using social media as a new search engine, Instagram has been adapting. Genuinely curious
This is classic Googlespeak l, but luckily I’ve spent many years learning the language 😂
My interpretation - “inauthentic mentions” probably applies to listicle pages (potentially self-serving ones, but not that’s explicitly stated here), paid/reciprocal brand mentions on 3rd-party pages, and inserting/paying for brand mentions in social threads, Reddit, etc.
What are others’ interpretation of this?
Nearly 50,000 people in the Lake Tahoe area have been told that their utility will stop providing power to them, because it's redirecting that power to data centers.
NV Energy, the Nevada utility that has supplied most of Lake Tahoe’s electricity for decades, says that next year it will stop servicing homes in the area, and instead direct that electricity to the growing demand from Nevada data centers.
Northern Nevada is one of the fastest-growing data-center corridors in the country.

My mom, when homeless in New Orleans, got arrested for "obstructing a park bench." For sitting on it. Her friend got arrested for "using a sandwich as a weapon against an officer." This escalation was inevitable
The massive Utah data center, called the Stratos Project, will be as big as 2,000 Walmarts, will need 9GW of electricity to run, and will generate the heat equivalent of 23 atom bombs detonating every single day in Hansel Valley. The expected impact of wildlife is catastrophic.
