Apparently, Donald Trump’s war of choice with Iran is not going well.
This is what happens when a government is run by wannabe schoolyard bullies.
“History Does Not Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”* 0
Angela Wilson looks at the placement of proposed AI data centers and hears a rhyme. Here’s a bit from her parsing of the poesy:
“Black communities face the highest impact from AI and data centers because they’re already disproportionately impacted by climate change, which is driven by CO2 emitted in part by the energy production involved in running data centers,” according to the Climate Justice Alliance.
