💡 Generating 1,000 AI images produces the same carbon emissions as driving a gas-powered car for 6.5 km...that's a lot of energy.

This surge in AI energy demand is threatening the climate goals of Google and other big tech companies.

And yet I know more about Biden’s age. There are just so damn many ways for these madmen to get their way in a few short months.

i think akhil amar reed captures something very important, which is that the roberts court rewrote article ii, which explicitly states that a president can be held criminally liable after impeachment (and which has long been understood to mean that he can be held liable after leaving office)

This is true and Harlan Crow and Charles Koch are smart enough to know they don’t really need more justices on SCOTUS. They have what they need. What they now aim for is a full authoritarian coup. That’s why billionaires put $100M into Project 2025. We are already in the crisis.

“The same megadonors who have created this blueprint are the same people who have been purchasing lavish gifts for Alito and Thomas, seeking to influence the court. And they want more justices like them seated.”

Once again, a prominent Western media called Ukraine “a former Soviet state,” as if Ukraine doesn’t have a history besides Soviet occupation. It’s infuriating that Eastern Europe continues to be viewed through Russian colonial lenses. An excerpt from my essay:

Mitch McConnell offers an object lesson for all the Republicans who think they can tame this tiger -- even if you do everything in your power to advance Trump's agenda and sabotage two different impeachment trials that would remove him, the Felon Messiah King will still demand your head.

The fact that I know more about Joe Biden’s one bad debate night than I do about Donald Trump’s years of raping and sexually assaulting girls within Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Jesus. Automated enforcement advocates really underestimate the potential for abuse with these cameras. The amount of information they collect is staggering, as is the ability to piece it all together to meticulously track individual people.

The Biden administration cannot enforce new anti-discrimination rules in health care for transgender Americans, a Mississippi federal judge ruled, citing a recent landmark Supreme Court ruling that weakened the power of federal agencies.

Mississippi is the poorest state in the US.

Even though the state gets federal welfare funds, it is difficult to get welfare.

The money was all getting stolen, and they got away with it.

Now the journalists who exposed the story are facing a lawsuit and jail.

Now is the time to have the conversation about what are the lines that Donald Trump, or his Supreme Court justices who have created a zone of lawlessness for him to operate in if he becomes president again, could cross that would cause America no longer to be classified as a liberal democracy.

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

The GOP candidate is getting sentenced for 34 felony counts of fuckery in ten days. His former campaign manager/counselor/consigliere is going to prison tomorrow. The Times is a fundamentally unserious paper in so many ways.
