“Nobody wants data centers. Everybody’s fired up about it.” For our latest episode of Stress Test, @timothypmurphy.bsky.social discusses how data centers—and other AI-boom technologies, like Flock cameras—have upended political fortunes and ripped up the partisan playbook ahead of November’s vote.

Idiot attempts to tax and ostracize some of the world’s smartest people. I still don’t see how this will make America great…

It's Oct 3. The midterms are a month away, but early voting has already begun in some states. Mail-in ballots will start circulating soon.

@karenhao.bsky.social ‘s Empire of AI is a solid read.

I installed Asahi Linux on my backup M1 Macbook Air...not bad y'all...not bad at all.

I remember when I moved the Confederate Press to the second row for my speeches. It only resulted in Daughters of the Confederacy,the end of Reconstruction, and Mike Johnson monitoring his pornography use compared to his son

Remember when Jake Tapper dug in his heels to defend Fox News when Obama dared to move them to the second row of the press room? Well, now that the roles have reversed, I'm sure that Fox News will -- come on, stop laughing, let me finish

Where are copyright strikes when you need them. He’s an orange lantern if I have ever seen one. “What's mine is mine and mine and mine and mine and mine and mine and mine not yours.”

#Denmark built so much wind that some blustery hours the turbines out-produce what the whole country is using. When that happens, the extra power doesn’t sit idle. It moves through Denmark’s links into the wider European network and heads to neighbors like Germany, Norway, Sweden. #ActOnClimate

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)

I'm the one out of ten presidential historians who isn't going to say trump is the worst president in american history when this is all over. I also have a semi-serious addiction to guzzling public toilet water

It’s spilled over into real life. People screaming and throwing tantrums when a teeth suck and eyeroll would suffice.

Algorithms killed the spectrum of emotional valences. Everything now is set to 10. Bring back the eyeroll, the exasperated sigh, the hand wave, the shoulder shrug. Some stuff is just mildly annoying or blandly dumb. You don’t need to blow every emotional outburst on the mundane.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

What a fucking idiot. He is an embarrassment.

Max Miller, the Ohio lawmaker who has recently been fighting for his political life, posted screenshots that he said prove he didn’t withhold their toddler’s stuffed animal during an August custody exchange. Timestamps on the email from Miller’s former wife tell a different story.
