Please let this be a beginning.

The Data Center Resistance Has Arrived A new report finds that local opposition to data centers skyrocketed in the second quarter of this year.

NEW from me: a new report found that national resistance to data centers skyrocketed between March and June of this year—especially in red states like Georgia and Indiana:

Crop Rotation Boosts Harvests, Nutrition, and Revenues Across 6 Continents - Profolus Decades of trials across 6 continents reveal that simple crop rotations deliver higher yields, better nutrition, steadier harvests, and improved farm revenue.

A massive international dataset confirms that crop rotation is key to stronger food systems. Researchers uncovered clear proof that rotating crops increases productivity by double-digit margins, strengthens nutrient output, and stabilizes yearly harvests.

To all the weirdos defending Megyn Kelly: 15 year olds are underage, and that is statutory rape.

Pretty simple

AI Data Centers May Strain U.S. Energy and Water By 2030 - Profolus The applications of AI are expanding. But the data centers powering it demand enormous amounts critical resources.

The demand for more AI data centers is growing fast, and researchers project they could strain U.S. power grids and water supplies by 2030. Better locations, efficient cooling, and renewable energy offer critical solutions.

As someone who has frequently defended free speech rights of sex workers and sex work advocates, it's completely unsurprising but nevertheless galling to be reminded once again how POWERFUL MEN talk fondly about sex work in private while demonizing it and pushing oppressive laws about it publicly.

Millionaire Tax That Inspired Mamdani Fuels $5.7 Billion Haul in Massachusetts A millionaire levy in Massachusetts that New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani holds up as a model for taxing the rich has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing...

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

10 Years After a Breakthrough Climate Pact, Here’s Where We Are Has anything really changed in the decade since the Paris Agreement was reached? Actually, quite a lot.

10 years after the Paris climate pact, there's some good-ish news.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but you do not keep the government shut for more than a month and then NOT get a deal on the main item you have been messaging on without completely shifting the blame dynamic.

If you care about other people, please call congress and demand a guarantee on ACA subsidies.

Millions of people depend on the ACA to prevent mountains and mountains of suffering.

a mock up for Zohran Mamdani's iconic font & color combination, but instead of any campaign message it reads CALL YOUR SENATORS and tell them not to cave like spineless dorks

sorry i mean

Ryan Moulton @moultano Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Thinking this level of inequality is unsustainable isn’t radical, thinking it isn’t is

Un-f”cking-believable.

this was for a colorado measure guaranteeing universal free lunch for kids. funny how a short two-column table can say so much in so little space.

FUCK YES, Colorado! Making me proud :)

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

If you don’t believe in feeding hungry people I’m not sure we are ever going to find common ground.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.

OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.

A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

Denny’s real problem has been that the early 20s folks are priced out of nightlife. If people were still able to go out and socialize until last call without needing to take out a loan, Denny’s would still be thriving. Nothing like an omelet at 3 AM with smudged mascara and a sweated out silk press
