Are you aware that there is, in fact, another guy running in this race? One whose qualifications you might also start asking questions about if that's what we're going to be doing now.

Google’s emissions climb nearly 50% in five years due to AI energy demandwww.theguardian.com Tech giant’s goal of reducing climate footprint at risk as it grows increasingly reliant on energy-hungry data centres

The story is always the same: major tech companies tell us they care about the environment to silence criticism, then never actually follow through. Google’s emissions are up ~50% in 5 years, following similar news Microsoft is also blowing past its climate commitments.

Regarding SCOTUS Those who ignore history blah blah blah

This kind of slithering journalistic take sure has helped us on our swerve away from democracy. People won’t know what they are losing if you don’t tell them outright. Wasn’t that supposed to be your job? SCOTUS pretty much just made THE U.S. a monarchy. Maybe that be the headline?

As I said last night, the debate likely confirmed what voters already thought, making it a wash. But seeing Trump as the nominee for the first time might've spooked a bunch of voters -- giving POTUS a small bounce. Biden was awful, but he was real and Americans like authenticity.

if we had caught wind of Saddam’s Republican Guard doing shit like this even once it would have been paraded across the evening news repeatedly as proof of the regime’s brutality and a justification for war

“Israeli army forces strapped a wounded Palestinian man to the hood of a military Jeep during an arrest raid in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Saturday. A video showed a Palestinian resident of Jenin, Mujahed Azmi, on the Jeep that passes two ambulances.”

A Note on “AI” Art and My Book Coverswhatever.scalzi.com Well, Goddamnit, it looks like some “AI”-generated art got onto one of my covers, specifically, the cover to the Italian edition of Starter Villain. Some (actual human) artists tracked …

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana becomes the first state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in public school classrooms.

Beloved Star Trek Series Removes Problematic Referencewww.giantfreakinrobot.com Though we may have never seen the problematic Star Trek scene, we're glad it never made it into the series for obvious reasons.

Hmmmm. It appears even though the federal reserve hiked interest rates, the corporations did not lower prices of goods and products. It is almost as if companies are acting naturally for their interest in generating as much profit as possible. This is a problem for the minimum wage American.
