a chart showing rising dc power consumption but flatlining renewable growth levels

Nice FT citing Ireland, where data centre power demand has massively outpaced clean power growth - meaning increased burning of fossil fuels

You can't rely on an assumption of infinite, exponential, unstoppable renewable energy to excuse data centre expansionism.

Anas Al-Sharif Li,yill uii o @AnasAlSharifo • Translated by Grok My words stopped, and I lost my strength and ability to express or speak when I reached the place of the massacre. Body parts and blood were all around us, corpses piled on top of each other, dismembered. Tell me, with what words or phrases can any journalist describe this horrific scene? When I told you on air that it was "an indescribable scene," I truly faltered before this sight. How do we convey our annihilation to you? I am exhausted and pained by the scale of the body parts and blood I saw today.

One year ago today, this image of Anas Al-Sharif amidst the aftermath of a particularly horrific Israeli attack on a school in Gaza went viral.

Israel recognized the anniversary by killing him, along with four other journalists:

As long as the report is actually recorded, it'll go to the dedicated team for data breaches and the patient will definitely be informed.

The online safety act just keeps exposing the many ways people defined as “not adults” are denied even basic agency and autonomy

This has been said in lots of ways but it is worth repeating; this is extremely impressive. If you asked a dog “who is the best basketball player ever” and it said “Jichsel Mordon” you would be unbelievably impressed. But you wouldn’t hire the dog as your junior analyst, because the answer is LeBron

Enormous bulges in the carbon fibre lay up

These are wrinkles in the one-third scale models (that imploded). They didn't appear in the final hull because, incredibly, they took an angle grinder to them and ground them flat.

This is not a standard carbon fibre construction technique.

There’s nothing in the rulebook that says a guy can’t be the next Air Bud.

when my older daughter was two the pediatrician told us she had a heart murmur and we needed to take her to a pediatric cardiologist so I took her and they needed her to lie down so they could monitor her heart. And the nurse said "does she watch YouTube" and I said sure and she put this on

Three thousand riot officers readied for weekend of protests in England and Wales At least 20 asylum seekers’ hotels could be the focus of demonstrations and counter-rallies over migration

This is what you get when you treat a group seeking to end complicity in genocide as “terrorists” and another group that assaults people because of the colour of their skin “swing voters”

Hip hip hooray, yesterday was the Burryman's day!

The Labour party must be destroyed. The longer it sits there acting as a machine that turns left wing votes into right wing policy, the worse it will be for us all.

I trust that my smart liberal voters will know I’m just being electorally savvy, while the right-wing voters I’m trying to appeal to will love hearing me refer to migrants and brown people as filth, without feeling emboldened or encouraged to push their nativist politics further with my blessing.

Barring asylum seekers from paid employment was a political choice that happened in my lifetime. It's not a law of physics, it's not carved in stone at the pillars of the world. It is a decision that a government made and that any government could unmake at any time.

If you tell me I'm not ready for that conversation it better not be something I already believe
