heartbreaking. 15 years ago I interviewed marjane on the phone while my dad drove us to the beach. she spoke with my mom in rashti about their childhoods. she was gracious and brilliant. I hate that americans had to learn iranians were people, but PERSEPOLIS was a masterpiece.
Kane being interviewed asked about gen AI during an interview for the film basically confirmed for me that the AI readings ppl have had for the film are 100% intentional
highly recommend owning a cat because it makes dealing with every negative emotion a little bit easier. it's difficult to feel the full weight of crushing reality when a little freak is doing olympic laps around your home after taking a loud shit
Big Tech NDAs are hiding the true impacts of data center projects, concealing key details from communities.
In Roanoke, one local paper seeking more information on a data center project and its water usage received documents with those numbers redacted.
The reason? The water company had signed an NDA with Google.
When Mamdani was running, CNN had plenty of segments about how he was unqualified and inexperienced to be mayor. Now they’re giving reality TV star Spencer Pratt positive coverage and openly rooting for him, lol.
Michigan holds nearly 20% of the world’s fresh surface water, a sacred trust we are obligated to protect for future generations. That is not negotiable.
So let me be blunt: Governor Whitmer smiling for photos with Sam Altman while handing over Michigan’s water and energy to his data centers is a betrayal of every family that depends on these resources. This isn’t economic development, it’s a sweetheart deal for a Silicon Valley billionaire at Michigan taxpayers’ expense.
AI data centers consume millions of gallons of water and massive amounts of electricity.
Who pays the price? Michigan families, farmers, and communities.
Who pockets the profits? Out-of-state tech oligarchs who will never have to live with the consequences.
I am running for Congress because Michigan’s water, land, and energy belong to the people of Michigan, not to the billionaire class and not to politicians who roll out the red carpet for them.
We will not subsidize the exploitation of our most precious natural resources so the ultra-wealthy can grow even richer.
Enough. Michigan is not for sale.
Imagine blowing 30 years of search engine dominance—so much so that your website became a verb—only to kill your search engine in favor of a inferior product only tech bros and their sycophants like.
Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.
As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.
Go Knicks.
