There's a plan to pull voting machines from more than half the states five weeks before an election. No court. No legislature. One Cabinet secretary and a "national security" memo. Read this before someone tells you it's about safety. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

I have no idea why any reasonable person would believe anything tech companies say about anything at this point, AI related or otherwise hostile skepticism should be the public default

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing. And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power. When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

BREAKING: @aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov are introducing a ban on AI data centers and other hyperscale data centers. The ban would remain until Congress passes new AI legislation. That legislation must ensure AI is safe, benefits workers, and doesn't raise electricity prices.

This is how Russia treats Ukrainian prisoners of war - torture, hunger, terror. Ukraine will not stop until we get all ours back to safety. "At first, they tried to endure it, it wasn't as audible. But then those screams intensified, they were inhuman screams."

Microsoft had $80 billion to piss up a wall on AI investment, and I don't want this fact lost when we're talking about studio closures, they had obscene amounts of money to throw at slop machines.

Let's be 100% clear on this, Microsoft is investing $80 Billion in AI. This is not conjecture or speculation, it is plainly in their own words back in January this year, they gutted a profitable games division because AI is the new shiny bauble. blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issue...

In the fight against AI data centers, I want to support what has been working in a far more organic and beneficial way. Wikipedia provides reliable information free of charge. It self-corrects by experts who generously donate research. It's supporting the truly good of the 'good old days'.

Despite this attack on American voters we can take the country back, but with a lot of support, timely information, help with registration and feet on the ground activism.
