One thing i hope people take from Graham Platner is that all parties are subject to the act of voting for face eating leopard(in fact i think you can take this no matter your perspective on platner himself). It is something many disabled people have long known but we all should remember

Watching a British crime-drama show and one thing I picked up on immediately is that they didn't make any fuss about the fact that the father of someone child is simply her boyfriend rather than married, where I would say for a American crime-drama this would be made a plot point.
I think even if this doesn't always reflect the reality of cultures, it is something to think about how non-married relationships with children are portrayed especially ones that are still healthy(beyond the other plot points of a show like this)
I can so relate to this feeling. Though most stuff dont land in my spam box by accident i have had a few very important stuff do so and it can make you worry abiut what else did
Data viz is so much easier than it was a few months ago

even if it’s 20% of that because they’re turbo compressing and cutting the bitrate on the backend, that’s still like a petabyte a day.
Aka: the real problem is every single idiot wants to upload 42069 photos of their baby’s graduation to Instagram and they’re literally always accessible instantly
Like, some back of the envelope math - YouTube is probably storing 5 petabytes of video per *day*
500hr of video is uploaded per minute, let’s assume 50/50 4k & 1080p (average nitrate of 14Mbps or 1.75 MB/sec so 6.3 GB for each hour of video), 500*24*60=720,000 video-hours * 6.3gb is around 4.5 PB
Voters hate data centers. But Democrats are unwilling to stop their construction because labor unions like them and Trump's enthusiastic support for data centers makes it hard for Republicans to criticize them.

I was talking about this today with a colleague, the other problem with data centers is people love to blame AI for them, but AI is only like something like 10% of floor space in data centers now. The rest of it is the fact we all love to post a lot of bullshit online, and disks take up space
Voters are furious about the energy-guzzling behemoths that drive artificial intelligence, but politicians in both parties are cautious about backing all-out bans.
