“They have chased growth and scale at all costs, and largely, they’ve won. The data-center build-out is the ultimate culmination of that chase: the pursuit of scale for scale itself. In all scenarios, the outcome seems only to be real, painful disruption for the rest of us.”

“The biggest lesson of the past two decades of Silicon Valley is that Meta, Amazon, and Google—and even the newer AI labs such as OpenAI—have remade our world and have become unfathomably rich for it, all while being mostly oblivious or uninterested in the fallout.”

Joseph Scrimshaw tweet from 2022: "Daylight Saving Time is increasingly hard to notice when my digital devices are like, 'What? Nothing happened. We know what time it is.' And my stove is left blinking and screaming, 'IT HAPPENED! TIME SHIFTED UNNATURALLY! THEY'RE ALL LYING! ONLY I KNOW! ONLY I REMEMBER!' "

Ah, it's that time again...

This is a very good paragraph.

US sides with El Salvador on eliminating presidential term limits, prompting democracy debate | CNN The US State Department has voiced rare support for El Salvador’s decision to abolish presidential term limits, paving the way for President Nayib Bukele to seek indefinite reelection. Critics argue t...

The U.S. State Department officially supports El Salvador’s removal of presidential term limits—flashing a warning of what’s to come in America.

The Trump regime will likely attempt the same, with support from a complicit Congress and Supreme Court.

And when they do, we the people will fight back.

I feel like this administration are basically redneck ignorant teenagers trying to act like what they think adults act and think like.

Stop trying to please people that already don't like you. Instead embrace the idea of being the most annoying person in their lives.

A short, fleeting moment in time this morning over in Marseille. The sunrise produced this unusual golden glow. The distant horizon and city remained in darkness.

It's been a rough week for the NOAA family, including feds, contractors, and scientists across this country / world. I need to say something very important.

It is my motivation to get you the weather, water and climate data you need, regardless of what has, or will happen to us.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops.

More of this pointed ridicule, please.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention!

This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

If I had to respond to an email as a federal employee asking me what I did at work last week, I'd make sure to list all the duties I had to absorb because of mass illegal firings, followed by a description of what the EPA's Walter Peck did in Ghostbusters.

Eff that guy

Amen to that.

Brilliant protester: “MAGA is explicitly a NAZI movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat but that is what it is.”
