How Your Utility Bills Are Subsidizing Power-Hungry AI | TechPolicy.Press The next few years will be pivotal for determining the future of AI and its impact on energy grids worldwide, write Sasha Luccioni and Yacine Jernite.

As tech firms keep adding the largest and most compute-intensive AI models into more and more aspects of our digital lives, they are increasingly dependent on a growing share of existing energy and natural resources, leading to rising costs for everyone else, write Sasha Luccioni and Yacine Jernite.

Septima Clark, civil rights activist

I read Spell Freedom recently. It's about Septima Clark, a South Carolina teacher who taught literacy and citizenship lessons to Black people in the pre-Civil-Rights era so that they could vote.

*UPDATE* she scammed me.

LFG!

Give them what they subconsciously want:

Dear tech bros, I will join whichever networking site offers me free thin mints.

I need a sample. Sell me. Hard.

My wife wants me to get on LinkedIn but I think she might be trying to scam me. What should I do?!?!

Cool.

This is my vibe right now.

Can’t wait to see what you cook up next @galegalligan.bsky.social

Ollie learns about making friends, the meaning of family, and the value of connecting to one’s cultural identity. Sweet and funny with relatable cringe-worthy adolescent moments. My daughter and I loved it.

Gale Galligan is a gem. I’ve loved reading the Babysitters’ Club adaptations they’ve drawn as well as their first original work “Freestyle”. In “Fresh Start” we follow the growth of the perpetually transplanted Ollie finally setting to root.

Search Bills in Congress - GovTrack.us Search bills and resolutions in the United States Congress.

Ew. I’m grossed out to have Ms. Luna as my local representative. She ran on “make Pinellas affordable” and she’s done mostly stunt bills like this. Her only successful legislation was renaming a post office.

Shoutout to the birds nested in the counters of the P, R’s, and A’s of “DRIVE-THRU PHARMACY” at Walgreens. You’re cute.

No context needed. One of the great bits from Vol. 4 of “City”.

First up is Keiichi Arawai’s “City”. It’s a gag manga with a unique artistic style that has grown on me. The visual storytelling, pacing, and character development make this an eccentric read. An ensemble cast of characters all with quirks weave in and out of each other’s lives. LOL worthy.

Here’s a little secret; I read a lot of comics. Not comics per se but graphic novels, trade paperbacks, and manga from our local libraries. Some I select for myself, some for my kids, and some they pick. I’d like to share some with you. Stay tuned.

Stretch Mark Superhero “Stretch Mark” is on the lookout for a villain that committed a dastardly crime! Will he solve the mystery? What danger awaits?!?! Another animated gem based on a Birthday Str…

Hi! I’m new here. Enjoy a little something www.pdalkner.com/2025/01/stre...
