Googleβs emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoftβs are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools.
Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

Even if Biden wins, what are his handlers going to do in the next four years. What if he reaches the point being non-verbal? Who the fuck is running the country then?

It's not trivial, even if you have work lined up. No one's going to welcome you to their country just because Trump is president and doing dictator stuff. And maybe liberals should reflect on that and how silent they've been regarding Biden's right wing border policies.

I took a test to prove I can speak English. Yes, you have to do this even if you're a US citizen. I paid the fees.. and I was immediately denied for no clear reason. So I did something wrong in my application, but I had other job opportunities at home so I never followed up.

Imagine if biden supported supreme court reform *instead* of repeatedly and vigorously rejecting it.
Imagine if the dems threatening us with camps and project 2025, had a position on actual events occurring currently and a plan of action regarding those currently happening things happening now.

Heat is the deadliest weather event in the US, and heat waves are already so clearly getting worse and starting earlier in the year.
We're already in the "how do we adapt to this" phase. Can we adapt to it?

Thinking about the way climate change has been communicated in the past and I think there was way too much focus on the dramatic but long term changes like the melting ice sheets and rising sea levels.
Not enough focus on how our quality of life is already degrading from extreme heat, for example.

Instead of the usual heat "watches" and "warnings", which has always been a confusing terminology to the public this map is color coded by level of risk to those exposed to the heat.

Ok, I need everybody to read Section III-A of Alito's dissent in the Idaho abortion case. He says - explicitly and specifically - that in cases where the amniotic sac breaks before the 24th week of pregnancy, abortions should be prohibited. HE SPECIFICALLY NOTES THE DANGERS. He points out that...
