Oracle and OpenAI End Plans to Expand Flagship Data Center Oracle Corp. and OpenAI have scrapped plans to expand a flagship artificial intelligence data center in Texas after negotiations dragged over financing and OpenAI’s changing needs.

Full story here:

Democrats join legal challenge to Trump’s planned 250-foot arch “This is a straightforward issue of who’s in charge,” Sen. Angus King of Maine told The Post, citing a law that certain monuments must receive Congress’s approval.

New: Democrats asked a federal court to block Trump's 250-ft arch.

Under law, Congress must approve certain monuments in DC.

“This is a straightforward issue of who’s in charge,” @SenAngusKing said.

They also mocked the "vanity" project.

“This is not Pyongyang,” @RepHuffman told me.

incentive structure has changed along w/financial ripples from kicking off a (so-far) regional war & jacking up oil & LNG practices.

The AI bullshit (data centers in space etc) would seem only possible to keep humping so long as “extra” money was around?

I have mixed feelings.

YES! YES! BURST!

But also this is gonna have some ripples.

What is this creep even talking about with "The largest issue right now is the algorithmic filter bubble"?

The greatest feature on Bluesky (after the nuclear block and blocklists) is its LACK of a forced algorithm that favors Nazis.

Literally do not understand this.

Albuquerque city council just mostly gutted a long-in-the-works planned zoning change that would have greatly expanded the amount of housing options permitted in most of the city, expanding options and lowering costs. Gotta prioritize brutality against those with nothing I guess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are wild times when a funeral service is the most inspiring thing you’ve seen all week.

Grateful for this man’s leadership.

Rest in Power
Rev. Jesse Jackson🙏🏼🕊️🕯️

Bill Clinton has a call to action at the memorial service for Rev. Jesse Jackson:

"You have to ask yourself 'what did Jesse Jackson do that I admire most, that moved me most, and what can I do right now that would maybe be as good as what he did then?' That's what we're all facing here."

Reverend Al Sharpton has sharp, yet necessary, words for the crowd at the memorial for Rev. Jesse Jackson.

"Don't sit here so holy and sanctified and act like you have no assignment yourself."

DOJ refuses to rule out immigration enforcement access to voter data “Your honor, I can honestly say I do not know the answer to that,” a DOJ attorney said.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) would not rule out using voter data for immigration enforcement during a federal hearing in Minnesota, but said such data was not currently being used. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

New York is investigating the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam AG Letitia James will head an "independent assessment" of what happened to the Blind Rohingya refugee who Border Patrol dumped in Buffalo.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is investigating the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who died in the cold streets of Buffalo days after Border Patrol dumped him without coordinating with his family or lawyers.

Sharpton: "The problem is not Trump. The problem is us. What happened to us?"

RESPECT

Absolutely insupportable. Labour have a massive majority. It’s a hugely popular issue. To fail to act would be a dereliction of historic proportions, and utterly inexplicable.

OK, so it's not a secular "war" we are engaging in with Iran; it's a religious "crusade."

it is evil.
i know a lot of my fellow liberals dont like to use that word. but im happy to use it when the shoe fits. these kids need to be protected, not attacked. going after them for craven political purposes -- any purpose -- is evil. and those who do so should burn in hell for all eternity.

you cant teach this. either you have it or you don't.

evil. it's ok to call evil people evil. in fact it is necessary

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Obama on Jesse Jackson: "The message he sent to a 22 year old child of a single mother with a funny name, an outsider, was that maybe there wasn't any place, any room, where we didn't belong"

I truly wish more people would read science fiction and not just watch big-budget adaptations. SF authors have thought about the ethics of the creator vs. the (technological) creation / created ever since Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein.

Knowing humans, perhaps long before then.

Himes: I have a theory on how this ends…

You’re going to see oil go across $100… Projections for economic growth are going to go down.

And at some point in 3-5 weeks, the president is going to say this is really not tenable. And he’s going to declare victory and walk away.

Components of Cells — Focus on the Nucleus This class blog post is brought to you by Fabrice N., who decided to write their first assignment about the “control center of the cell”…

Today we have a second class blog post, this one by Fabrice N.! Fabrice wrote all about the nucleus and the DNA it contains, and included some information about applications of the discovery of DNA: DNA fingerprinting, genetic analysis, and the human genome project. Want to know more? Click below!

what’s extra terrifying right now is the knowledge that there’s just no backstop at all

we are locked in a box with a madman for another three years and there’s absolutely nothing that he can do to make his own party take the keys away and so the madness continues

it doesn’t feel sustainable, but…

I keep thinking about how working class people will suffer so much if the price of gas spikes and the government continues to spend $1B/day on international conflict (plus ICE's budget for immigration raids) instead of education, research, international aid, clean energy, and healthcare
