"Data centers don't pollute water. Data center *construction* pollutes water." is just not a great argument, especially when you have the building trades releasing statements that say "Data center construction will never stop. Data center construction is forever."
I work in the legal field and l can confidently say that while this behavior is bad, wait until your client sends you an AI summary of interactions with their children and the pro se party on the other side files a 60-page slop pleading/brief. Drag doesn’t begin to describe it.

Any retirement you may have saved up, or that your parents saved, is tied up in this guy who thinks he built a wish-granting genie. Any government that thought its people were worthy of protection or capable of revolution would have stopped this years ago.
“It reads like a comic play by Václav Havel. It looks like the desperate last days of the Soviet Union.”
Havel once wrote an essay, The Power of the Powerless, in which he extolled the reader to ‘live in truth.’ It is the bravest act one can commit in our society today.
Leen Hijaz, valedictorian at her high school in North Carolina, said the following in her graduation speech:
"Before I leave the stage, I have one last thing to say. Every single person here has a voice; we have the privilege to use it when millions around the world are struggling and suffering to be heard. Whether it’s the millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan and so many other countries around the world, or families being torn apart by ICE. These are not just an issue here; they are happening there, they’re happening right here as I speak. My point is, we’re not given a voice to stay silent."
Corey Robin, a political theorist at Brooklyn College, writes: "The mere mention of Palestine—maybe ICE, too—sent the high school principal, Melissa Moore, hurtling across the stage to seize the microphone from Hijaz, and stop her from saying these unapproved words.
Just look at this photograph: A young Muslim woman, speaking out, and a desperate, terrified principal trying to shut her down, lest the student say something unauthorized, disapproved, discordant with the views of an increasingly small clique of government officials and voters.
It's so pathetic. It reads like a comic play by Václav Havel. It looks like the desperate last days of the Soviet Union. I can only hope Hijaz speaks for a generation that will, one day, sweep all this garbage into the dustbin of history".

If you know how much Chicago (or any other university) is paying to give everyone on campus Claude Enterprise, my DMs are open. I am curious how this expense compares to the apparently “too expensive” humanities PhD programs Chicago has cut. I bet the answer is illuminating!
Very likely that 2024 will be seen as a mirage year that led to the front office making bad assumptions and even worse decisions when it comes to signings/promotions/etc. With a lockout coming and Bobby’s first opt-out in 2030, Royals about to be on the hot seat in a major way.
Feels like a return to form with the Royals quickly becoming irrelevant by the start of May. Nature is healing, etc., etc.
The Tigers are running away with it and the #Royals are staring down the barrel of being swept for the first time this season.
After today, they’ll head to New York. The Yankees were 6-0 against them last season.
KD is up there with Lillard as the two realest players in the league right now. Different people to be sure, but both have that same no-BS mentality and true love for the game.
As Kevin Durant closes in on Michael Jordan for fifth on the all-time scoring list, I spoke to him for @ringer about the cost of a commitment to greatness, his mentality as a scorer, why MJ "is the standard" & more. theringer.com/2026/03/17/nba…
There is a line of thought at the highest executive levels that see AI as a way to both remove labor costs and introduce inefficiencies that they can then charge more for people to avoid. Capitalism does not want to be efficient, it wants to create costly breaks in the system.

Nostalgic for Real Life Mag today. They let me write stuff like the "Joker theory of the administrative state: Capitalists sow chaos, without any particular plan for the 'new normal' other than the ability to continually reassert their own dominance" reallifemag.com/wrong-road/

When did game studies start? & what & WHO is at the core of game studies? Fields are defined as much by what they are NOT as by what they are & their borderlands can be hotly contested spaces.

“holding a Sephiroth card means that I am looking at the future of Magic without depth. If my thirteen year old self received such a card, would it capture my attention…[like] Clone did? …I do know I would be compelled to ask if it is real or, more accurately, real enough.”
In the thick of spoiler season for the Final Fantasy set, I want to revisit my essay on integration of external references into Magic. Are Final Fantasy cards the future of Magic without depth? Will aesthetics be enough to fuse these two distinct fandoms? drive.google.com/file/d/1wE9…

Spending a splendid Sunday playing the new @Decisiongames Operation Typhoon reprint with @jsantley. We’re playing the “Objective Moscow” (northern wing) scenario. I’m the Sovs. The weather’s been warm! But he just got another ground freeze on Turn 5. He is fueling up the panzers.
Haunted Screen enchanted players but Walking Dead’s Rick, Steadfast Leader, put them off. What does that say about the future of external references in Magic: the Gathering? An essay on decoding the Haunted Screen and a future of Magic without depth #MTG drive.google.com/file/d/1wE9…
