Black roof and cladding on new build, can we not?

Why on earth is this approved, surely we don't need scandi style buildings in our subtropical city?

Data centers can be built in under a year, but the power plants needed to supply them take two to three years.

State regulators are now grappling with who should foot the bill when those timelines don't align. theconversation.com/data-cente…


Data centers need electricity fast, but utilities need years to build power plants – who should pay?

How many data centers will be built – and how much electricity they’ll need – is uncertain. Being prepared costs money, but so does being unprepared.

In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.

They applied that lesson again & again in subsequent years. Bush II was basically a criminal administration, even aside from its world-historical blunders -- allowing 9/11, f'ing up Afghanistan, f'ing up Iraq, f'ing up Katrina, f'ing up the economy -- but after it was over ...

...it took a matter of *months* before the media had collectively smudged & smeared the whole thing, "ah, there were many fights, who can say, let us come together & look forward rather than backward," etc. Crime --> no consequences. Greater crime --> still no consequences. And so on, still today.

It is bizarre to me that the same people always telling us about "thermostatic public opinion" do not take it into account when offering strategic advice! The public is, predictably, herding in a pro-immigration direction. Imagine if Dems had just *stayed there*, stalwart, ready to meet them.

When your opponent takes over and starts overreaching, that is precisely when thermostatic public opinion will work to your advantage ... if you can just maintain your spine.

@Ameboid gifted me a loupe.

#Caturday #CatsOfMastodon

A white cat with orange patches and a pink nose is sitting in a red box on a desk. In front of her is a loupe with 2x magnification, making a part of her cute face appear bigger in a funny way.
The same cat, in the same situation, but a different angle on the face.

Bella is flat out on my bed. It's a sticky, humid day so I turned the fan on for her and she's cooling her belly and not at all spoiled actually.

Google's search AI getting it wrong, again. Tech CEO Palmer Luckey absolutely did say that teenage girls should be getting pregnant. Google AI is claiming it was his assistant — but the video it's citing for that claim is satirical commentary on the clip of Luckey saying he wants teens pregnant!
Google "AI overview" search results for the search "palmer luckey teenagers pregnancy." The AI summary says: Palmer Luckey's controversial statement, made by his *assistant* during a podcast, suggested teenagers should have children young (16-18) for biological fitness and historical context (like medieval times for labor), a viewpoint Luckey himself expressed regret for *not* having kids earlier, sparking debate about modern societal norms versus biological roles, as noted in a YouTube short. The video shows the full clip of Palmer Luckey's assistant's controversial comments on teen pregnancy: It then links to the YouTube short by Good Work about Luckey, linked in the next post in this thread.

This is the video, by the excellent Dan Toomey at Good Work. Google's search AI doesn't understand this is comedy, because it doesn't understand anything at all.
