Against Mind and Heart | Exploring Hate | PBS One day in 1943, the truth collided with a very human failing: our inability to believe those facts which are too awful to bear.

One of the things I learned from One Long Night is that stories of the death camps were actually circulating years before liberation but many people didn’t believe them - not because they didn’t trust the sources - but because it was too cruel to wrap their brains around.

The rise of AI tools that write about you when you die Families and funeral directors are using AI obituary generators to more efficiently memorialize the dead. What happens when they get it wrong?

New: A few weeks ago, when my father-in-law died, the funeral home asked if we wanted to use AI to write his obituary. So I dug into it and found that it's the biggest new trend in "death care." Tens of thousands of AI obits have been made already. Often the families don't even know wapo.st/4okuxIg

Add a ton of water and bring to a boil in your largest pot with an onion, carrot and parsley if you have. Maybe a bay leaf. Turn to low and simmer as long as you can.

San Antonio data centers guzzled 463 million gallons of water as area faced drought The heavy usage, equivalent to tens of thousands of households, comes as residents are told to conserve water.

Unsustainable. "By 2030, data centers are expected to multiply tenfold across the Lone Star State, according to the Chronicle. HARC estimates that by then, data center water consumption could total 399 billion gallons annually, or 6.6% of Texas' total water use."
