I recommend anyone who doesn't understand the backlash to datacenters go spend 24 hours standing outside of xAI's facility in Memphis.
No earplugs. No masks. Just you and the air that Elon provides.
Also remember: He said they would build a water treatment facility but they aren't.
Southern Baptists voting on banning churches with women leaders? Look I may be excited for the NBA finals tonight but I take no pleasure in trying to dunk on Southern Baptists...Well, maybe a bit of pleasure in pointing out that the SBC seems to like dunking on itself

Has anyone read "Player Piano" by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.?
It was written in 1952 and is set in a world where corporations & tech bros automated jobs out of existence.
What's that? Oh just Mayor Mamdani sounding knowledgeable and looking exuberant in celebrating one of the best Jewish organizations in the world, T'ruah. Solidarity is a practice, indeed. @truahrabbis.bsky.social
Maybe the people who want to train you to communicate in an unfeeling, inhuman way are wounded in their feelings and struggling with their humanity, and maybe their products are bad and to be avoided as much as possible. That would also conserve energy in multiple ways!
I'm very much not a prophet but this was the world's easiest news story to predict.

Incredible determination from the Knicks in that game. This team is so obviously emotionally intelligent, refreshing to see in an era in which so many people are constantly yammering on about how Everything is Data.
This is condescending and, most importantly, completely ignorant of the actual, real and material reasons communities object to data centre developments (primarily: environment and resource concerns, which they genuinely understand very well and can explain with specific, accurate detail)
What a series, sheesh. Just as an NBA fan this is one for the ages
