I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m totally cool with the level of internet we already have. We move data fast enough already. New Data centers are for new data and we all know that data is surveillance.

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

Soot from rocket launches remains in the upper atmosphere much longer than soot produced by sources on the ground, making it "an unregulated geoengineering experiment" with poorly understood (but potentially serious) consequences for the Earth’s climate. 🧪⚛️🔭 physicsworld.com/a/soot-from-...
