No more PJM data centers unless they can be reliably served: market monitor
The PJM Interconnectionβs market monitor urged the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to rule that large data centers can only come online if the grid operator can still meet reliability metrics.
big late breaking news: the market monitor for the largest energy grid in the u.s., covering much of the midwest and mid-atlantic, has called to block new data centers connections to the grid, saying current course of growth assures regular blackouts

AI data center 'frenzy' is pushing up your electric bill β here's why
Energy-hungry data centers that underpin artificial intelligence are contributing to higher residential electricity bills, say experts.
data centers are driving up electricity prices for households β and price relief may not be coming anytime soonβ¦ Residential retail electricity prices in September were up 7.4%, to about 18 cents per kilowatt hour, according the Energy Information Administration... www.cnbc.com/2025/11/26/a...

i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills

The baby seems to like it more because they get more wind/better view. She always seemed very tucked away like if they fell the shell would protect her arms and legs. @immortalcashew.bsky.social

No clue if thereβs research or consensus. Itβs definitely a different riding experience for where weight is and I could see how it maybe wouldnβt be as safe because the kid is so much higher off the ground but it seemed safe enough to me for my baby especially for rides just for fun on a greenway

Now at 14 months she is big enough to sit in the UA next to her sister (almost 4) with a helmet on on the back bench (closest to the cyclist). Weβve also pulled her in a burley trailer with a helmet on at this point I think. @immortalcashew.bsky.social anything to add?
