Microsoft pauses construction on portions of Mount Pleasant project Microsoft Corp. has paused construction on portions of its multibillion-dollar data center campus in Mount Pleasant.

Anyone remember Foxconn's "commitments" to Wisconsin?

How's that work out?

Oh, Microsoft "committed" to building a data center in its place.

That's fucking adorable.

A prolonged fossil fuel crunch just might, at this moment, be *the* exogenous shock necessary for a rapid global transition to clean energy adoption, but also it's going to be a brutally miserable experience for the world's poorest.

Trump may do more for the energy transition than any other individual through sheer incompetence, just like JD Vance may do more than anyone else for the cause of global antifascism simply by being viscerally repellent.

I want to be very clear about something: for OpenAI to be able to pay the deals it has signed it will have to be ten to fifteen times its current revenue and have raised at least another $150 billion. If it fails, Oracle will run out of money, and not pay its debts.

Here we fucking go again.

A company SAYING they will make an investment - especially a FUTURE investment - is not in itself an investment. Many of these "investments" have fallen through.

Unless there's money on the table right fucking now, it reflects nothing.

No one asked for a carousel. The carousel is bad. Make it optional or change it back. Do you guys even focus group or test these ideas out?

The fact that Trump had appointed a totally unqualified donor to be Secretary of the Navy leading into what turned into the biggest crisis for the US Navy since World War 2 could be covered like the media covered Michael "Brownie" Brown during Hurricane Katrina.

They choose not to do this!

You muppets, you can't convince Quebec to give back the apostrophe S's they stripped off every store in the 70's that they've got stored in a secret warehouse in Ville St. Laurent, they're certainly not going to give up a ban on US liquor because it hurt your fucking Yankee feelings.

"They went door-to-door to tell their neighbors what the city had not told them: The data center would use twice as much electricity as all of Monterey Park."

The city’s notification in English reached only 40 people living within 500 feet. Activists worked in English, Chinese, Spanish & more!
