Though this is about Connecticut, it reflects the same issues for any data centre location. Its also pretty scary that so many Americans "use AI every day". What the hell for?

"I worry that we, the residents of Connecticut, will be left to pay the financial and environmental costs while the state government and large corporations economically benefit from taking part in the latest AI race. As residents of the land that must bear the burden of datacenters in Connecticut, we must stay informed on what the implications of datacenters in our area are and advocate for what benefits our communities."ctexaminer.com/2025/12/06/the-…

"Wann darf Friedrich #Merz 'Arschloch' genannt werden?", fragt @matthimon im @ndaktuell, & ich finde, wir sollten diese Frage in aller Breite ausdiskutieren, und überhaupt jede Handlung des Kanzlers im Lichte dieser Frage bewerten 😂

Wann darf Friedrich Merz »Arschloch« genannt werden?

Jeremy Brecher’s newest report, co-published by the Labor Network for Sustainability and Z, addresses the increased #authoritarianism under Trump and the #MAGA movement, with executive overreach, suppression of #dissent, and the use of state and vigilante violence.
Brecher asserts that the country must look beyond conventional means and consider social #strikes — large-scale, nonviolent withdrawal of cooperation, which has brought down authoritarian regimes before.
Of silver breath
Softness in the chilly air
And golden sky
And dabs of purple puffs
Of flocks of cloudlings
Lined with rose
And silvery rings
As if the artist
Passing by
Had cast a spell
Of gentle beauty
With her softest sable dabber
Gently
To light my winters way
Beneath this majesty
My kestrel holds the sky aloft
With open welcoming wings
Embracing me
With ethereal light
Even last nights rain
Ripples soft in golden pools
shining back
The rising sun
