The saga of the NYT's anti-Mamdani story taken from notorious white supremacist Jordan Lasker (they call him an "academic") gets even more amazing: Lasker's only impactful paper, which claimed white people are smarter, is infamous: it misused data so badly it got his tenured co-author fired. 2/

notice how option 2 involves completely changing your persona in a dishonest, sudden fashion to grift to a broader audience. this is the average conservative ethos, always about the grift
has anything happened yet?
Once you notice this it becomes all you see
They are obsessed with what they believe the possibility of the existing system could potentially be in an ideal world and not how it actually functions in reality
And yet. He wasn’t
Liberals are obsessed with what “could” and “what ifs” because they can’t contend with the real history and reality of the political economic system they endorse
“Communism is great in theory” - guy denigrating communism
“Liberalism is great in theory” - same guy but earnest
Italians might understand tho lol, I’ve heard it’s a mix of those two somewhat. Mais je ne sais pas.

Cameron, Ariz. Living on one of the largest swaths of land in America without electrical power, Thomasina Nez's entire life is a scramble to complete basic tasks. To take a hot shower, she must wait for buckts of water to come to a boil on a small propane stove outside her wood framed roundhouse. To make meals, she relies mostly on canned goods because unfridgerated produce rots qucikly in the Arizona heat. Its a struggle to stay warm at night, because she refuses to use her coal-powered heate after its fumes killed her two dogs.
A fierce battle for electric power is being waged across the nation, and Nez is one of thousands of people who have wound up on the losing end. Amid a boom in data acenters, the energy intensive warehouses that run supercomputers for Big Tech companies, Arizona is racing to increase electricity production. In February, the state utility board approved an 8 percent rate hike to bolster power infrastructure throughout the state, where data centers are popping up faster than almost anywhere in the US But it rejected a plan to bring electricity to parts of the Navajo Nation land, concluding that electric consumers should not be asked to foot the nearly $4 million bill.
I know academics who use AI regularly, for work and play, and I'd really like them, and universities, to tell me how they contend with AI's bottomless appetites for power and water.
