Finally some good news

this feels like a malort slogan

Analysis | Supersized data centers are coming. See how they will transform America. These AI campuses consume more power than major U.S. cities. Their footprints are measured in miles, not feet.

"By the mid 2030s, forecasts show the world’s data centers could drive as much carbon pollution as the New York, Chicago and Houston metro areas combined."

Jaw-dropping stats on data centers from @washingtonpost.com @bananafish.bsky.social

A comic called Animals with Misleading Names. There's an electric eel labeled "not an eel". There's a mountain goat labeled "not a goat." There's a maned wolf labeled "not a wolf." There's a king cobra labeled "not a cobra. Also, snakes are typically self-governing." There's a peacock mantis shrimp labeled "Not a peacock. Not a mantis. Also, not a shrimp." There's a horny toad labeled "Not a toad. Only thinks of you as a friend." There's a mayfly labeled "active through the spring and summer." There's an eastern kingbird labeled "found in the west. Many birds do not recognize its authority."

Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.

Juno is an AMAZING mission. The camera onboard was never supposed to last this long (the radiation around Big J should've zapped it a while back) but it just keeps on ticking. Killing this mission while it's still working and producing great science is a crime.

The four moons in this study — Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon — are tidally locked to Uranus, so that they always show the same side to the planet. The side of the moon facing the direction of travel is called the leading hemisphere, while the side that faces backward is called the trailing hemisphere. The thinking was that charged particles trapped along the magnetic field lines primarily hit each moon’s trailing side, which would darken that hemisphere.

Two surprises about the moons of Uranus: They are not blasted by the expected radiation from the planet...but they are dusted by dark material from planet's rings.

Also, look at that cool moon shadow! 🧪

Chesapeake Bay is on a rebound, but Trump's proposed budget could set it back Chesapeake Bay is at a turning point. Once severely polluted, the bay has seen major improvements in recent years. But President Trump's proposed budget would slash key programs.

A 2014 USDA report found that 1 in 8 Americans eat pizza on any given day - most frequently for dinner.

That comes out to 3 billion pizzas - or 46 slices per person in the U.S. per year.

Did you know? Americans eat the equivalent of 100 acres of pizza every day! 🍕
