Pretty wild to be able to hike a 14er at 1) this time of year in almost summer conditions and 2) just a few short (5) months after breaking my back. Wind and temps were brutal but thankful for a great outing on Yale #cowx

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

An attack on one person’s freedom is an attack on all of us.

That’s what Trump is doing–attacking all of our rights. He is labeling those who disagree terrorists, scum, and enemies of the state.

They want to decide what is hateful, or who can speak.

We can’t be silent.
