And apparently “closed loop” water systems don’t actually mean you won’t be put on a water restriction if these monster palaces come to your community.

Environmental advocacy is assiduously ignored by the media.
And by media, I mean left “independent” and alternative media too. Anyone who’s looking for clicks and to make money online seems to ignore it. It’s not really a mystery why, it’s by design.
There’s no reason to assume we’ll need these monstrosity data center power plants in the future.
Myth is all the tycoons have, because reality doesn’t care about tech monarchist fantasies.
Pennsylvania AI boondoggle summit as full of BS and unwanted garbage as expected.
I listened to Trump at the Republican data center power plant “summit” in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and read about Josh Shapiro’s involvement so you don’t have to. (You can thank me later.)
Data center PR never mentions the burning gas or burning tires part.
These companies probably welcome investing in pointless and shoddy AI just to justify the mass layoffs so they can boost their stock value.
PA news outlet is reporting on data centers so boondoggles must be imminent in the state house.
Spotlight PA’s newsletter headline: AI data centers are fueling electricity demand.
Nothing efficient about blockchain, so when someone invokes the blockchain to defend crypto, it’s also a trick.
Cryptocurrency is bad, and it’s not bad despite “the blockchain” but also because of the blockchain, which is actually not some great newfangled thing after all.
Maybe let’s rethink the “great filter” theory (that supposedly explains the Fermi Paradox).
I heard the “great filter” referenced twice in one day, once on PBS Space Time and again on Conspirituality Podcast. And I wish people would understand that this is a concept come up by an economist…
Republicans attempt to mandate deregulation of AI for tech tycoons and fossil fuel.
They want to stop all the protections and oversight of automation completely in the country, and handcuff state and local efforts to protect communities and save lives.
Don’t take public health prescriptions from repeatedly wrong Doctor Monica Gandhi.
The failed politics of “centrist” corrupt clientelism has infiltrated and corrupted public health and we need to put a stop to this nonsense all around.
Claims about pivoting from crypto to AI may actually be false promises too.
Is it even possible for Panther Creek to just “pivot” to anything else?
The right-wing opposition to proxy voting is the same old opposition to remote anything.
There’s a bill in Congress to allow proxy voting for representatives with new babies. Mike Johsnon has gone so far as to just shut down everything for the week just to stop this bill, because there are Republicans who support it.
AI generated fossil fuel pollution must be opposed.
The air pollution from power plants dedicated to noise pollution generating data centers are currently running roughshod over communities already.
Democratic Governor Tim Walz does Trumpian Return To Office.
This is NOT a progressive move and Walz should be shamed harshly by Democrat voters in Minnesota for acting like a right-winger on telework.
Gavin Newsom is pushing state workers to get butts in seats downtown for fossil fuel and business interests.
This guy’s sad podcast platforming a far right bigot isn’t the first or only extremely anti progressive garbage from Gavin Newsom. Just write this guy off.
Fossil fuel, commercial real estate, and mid level megalomaniacal managers are behind anti-telework RTO.
The REAL Reasons CEOs Hate Remote Work – SOME MORE NEWS Feb 12, 2025 “Hi. We’ve been told that 2025 is the year that remote working will die, despite it often being good for workers and their employers. CEOs hate it though, and they’re working to get rid of it.“
Herd immunity misinformation on the left.
Youtube served up a liberal channel with healthcare professionals that were ostensibly criticizing RFKJr – though I feel like they were trying to bothsides the guy, buying into some of his claims they think they agree with. But the issue is that covid vaccine uptake was never great even for the original series, it never […]
No to data center corporate welfare.
Data centers don’t need to be subsidized as businesses that need them and will build them either way. There is zero justification for giving taxpayer giveaways to big tech companies and cryptocurrency tycoons to build their data centers. Boondoggle – Big Tech’s AI Blackmail State and local data center extortion is going national. Pat Garofalo […]
Trump administration RTO – taking modern workplaces back to the Dark Ages.
‘Return to in-Person Work’ Directive Thin on Details – Published: January 21, 2025 By: FEDweek Staff It reads in its entirety: “Heads of all departments and agencies in the executive branch of government shall, as soon as practicable, take all necessary steps to terminate remote work arrangements and require employees to return to work in-person at […]
Trickle down economics – the trick tycoons just can’t pull off.
The “bringing the jobs” stuff is insulting people into early graves, but the power consumption inequality may be what finishes off a lot of humans.
