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."

Update #2: Quicksilver, a detector for AI-generated music.
Most folks today are not aware that AI-generated music (entire songs generated by AI models) are growing rapidly. Today, there are more AI-generated songs than human-created songs arriving each week on platforms like Spotify.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.
“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

An artwork depicting a painter and her muse. In the main scene, the painter is leaning forward to brush a strand of hair from her subject's face. The subject is sitting with white lilies on a table behind her, she is wearing a long white gown and is holding onto a walking cane. A canvas can be seen on the foreground. Behind the two of them is a red curtain being pulled in the close up on the upper left corner, where the painter kisses the muse's cheek. The artwork is framed with peonies, forget me nots and scattered pages with pencil sketches.

My wife asked me to repost this in case some folks missed it.
She is de-stashing her treasure hoard of yarn. There's a lot of it. It's kinda taken over the house. I'm in the attic of the garage right now. Help?

This week, the House will vote on renewal of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act – aka FISA. As it stands, Section 702 enables the government to surveil conversations between US citizens and foreign nationals without a warrant. (1/3)

Being anti-data center is the one issue that seems work across all partisan lines. Absolutely no one wants one of these within 200 miles of their home.

There's literally NO reason for this. It is not ethical because data centers suck up water and pollute like crazy. It's nothing but a stupid, hollow fad built on the hot air of tech bros. C'mon - we came here to ESCAPE THIS STUFF.
We just want a simple working site.
