This is another important one -- reads like some well sourced claims about very weak fundraising numbers and the official response from the Biden campaign is not a direct contradiction.

Texas is subsidizing $10 billion worth of new fossil fuel plants, citing new demand caused by climate change and population growth.
But in reality, much of the new demand is coming from supercomputers for AI and crypto.
Guess where the new plants will be placed:

The Oceanic Pole of Inaccessibility--the point farthest from any land mass, is Point Nemo, 1,670 miles away from Pandora Islet, Moto Nui, & Maher Island off Antarctica. It's so remote that often the closest humans are those in the International Space Station when it passes overhead 250 miles up.

One of the reasons I am (horrifyingly) respected or at least appreciated in the few corners I am is my willingness to say I don't really know what an outcome will be, but just talk about the possibility space. The need to be seen as having "good takes" kills useful analysis.

i was looking at a times/siena poll from june 2020 and one thing that struck me was the number of questions about policing/racism/protests/george floyd, all high salience for young people and all disfavoring trump. that's gone now and i think it's a factor (but agree on the magnitude)
