@weeknightmsnow.bsky.social why is Michael Steel sitting so close to people? He should be far enough away that he can’t touch them. I’m getting killed in the drinking game.
@weeknightmsnow.bsky.social we have a new drinking game called “Michael Steele touched him”. Getting hammered tonight!

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

Blue Owl’s investment in Stargate Abilene means it gets paid a fee DURING CONSTRUCTION, and relieves them of any responsibility for finishing the data center if Crusoe goes bankrupt. Oracle waived all rights to cancel the lease. Does this even get built? www.theinformation.com/articles/blu...

Here is another great fact: AI data centers are a relatively new concept, and nobody has ever built a 1 gigawatt data center campus at speed. Crusoe? Never built an AI data center before. We have less than a year of data on cooling Blackwell. Hey whatever happened to CoreWeave Denton?
Also it’s centralizing resources and heat load. That never works out and always ends up decomposing into an easier to manage distributed system with simpler endpoints. This will be no different. Solar makes this easily distributable and cheaper.

I never looked at this issue from this angle, but it is very well reasoned and I believe very accurate.
The US rep to the IEA said that "pursuing offshore wind power would make countries reliant on China." It's instructive to explore this sort of claim, in particular for what it reveals about those claiming it. Two points:🧵
