Last night, after an hours-long public hearing, Monterey Park became the first city in California to pass an ordinance permanently banning data centers.
The city council voted unanimously to declare data centers a public nuisance, and to "prohibit all data centers within city limits."

Cenk Uygur: Did I miss the requirement to agree with all of his positions in order to accept his help in combating war and genocide? And do you think it's a good idea to reject allies when we desperately need them to end Israel's control over this country? I didn't ask you to marry the guy, I asked you to take yes for an answer when he's a very rare media figure in America who is willing to treat Muslims like they're human beings and say their lives matter. This is not a hard question. In reply to Mehdi Hasan, here: https://x.com/cenkuygur/status/2046763884753879081

one of the problems with the pre-trump immigration system was that when you tried to explain to people how complicated and byzantine the process for coming here legally was, they simply would not believe you
trump has "fixed" this by simply making it impossible to come here legally
Some people find it very hard to understand the fact that colonialism is innately a genocidal system. There is no “good” or tolerable amount of colonialism. You can’t justify such a structure of violence, exploitation, and eradication. Doesn’t matter where it happens and who does it. It’s genocidal.

people think of this website like twitter where the problem would be solved by leaving, and not like tumblr where we are the problem and we need to be fucking cockroaches as frequently and as brazenly as possible

In honor of Tim Cook's stepping down, here is the story of how I emailed him, not once but twice, with open email tracking enabled, only to discover that, not once but twice, my emails to the CEO of Apple were opened on a computer running Windows.
This reads so Onion-esquely wrong that it sounds almost funny...and don't give me some "oral history" nonsense...this is part of normalizing total surveillance & possibly using every bit of real conversation as AI "training data"!

The problem we've had as a society online is constantly platforming or creating headspace for horrible and repugnant people that we start seeing the things they see or thinking about how they'll feel about it.
Its unhealthy and ultimately makes you more miserable.
it’s so funny that the drunk tv host in charge of the military is like “real warriors don’t need vaccines” when all the greatest generals in history would have done anything for a jab that kept their armies safe from disease
This is important and shocking news from NYT.
And it doesn’t mention the DRC third-country deportation program has already begun. ICE sent 15 immigrants from Latin American countries there five days ago.

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.

On top of reasons of role deconstruction and bodily autonomy, this is one reason why it's so important to many people in power to eradicate trans folk.

"Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses"
Disney has exactly two franchises that are made for endless sequels, and they've squandered them both. The first, Fantasia, because they're too cowardly to create real art. The second, The Rescuers, because they're too cowardly to go back to their roots and tell tales about child abuse.
"saving time" with art is inherently nonsensical. there's no such thing as being efficient with art. art is not quantifiable, there's no way to measure/reduce what it takes to make it
there's economizing, though, and that's expertise in strategizing and condensing your steps within your limitations
