And the great thing is this isn't a choice we face! We get both!
@senatorshoshana I've dealt with people who seriously argued that there was no such thing as a data center before around five years ago.
When I tell them that I was literally working at IBM writing software for data centers back in the 00's they accuse me of lying.

Lmfao, he's subtly trying to argue the Civil War was an attempt at White Genocide.
Very woke stuff, this

oh no the data centers are going to use up all our water...
And nobody in America voted for railroads.
Nobody in America voted for antibiotics.
Nobody in America voted for semiconductors.
This is because elections do not involve voting for technologies.
There are so many insane wildly misleading stories coming out about data centers almost every day now that I'm mostly having to give up on commenting on them to focus on actually getting blog posts out, but it feels like a tsunami. I'll share one from just today as an example.

When the Pope preaches the gospel, the American president thinks the pontiff is talking about him because (a) he doesn't know what the gospel is, and (b) if he did, he wouldn't agree with it.

I just saw a bumper sticker that said "Eggs are not dairy".
Ok? Does someone think they are?
Star Wars question:
When they are in the garbage disposal Han tries to shoot the door but the blast is reflected and nearly kills them because it's "magnetically sealed" or something.
Why couldn't they use that technology on their armor to make them invincible to blasters?

In 1966, Robert Watts said if he were forced to carry a rifle, the first man he’d want “in his sights” was LBJ.
The Supreme Court said that was political hyperbole, not a true threat.
Now imagine if Watts had written it in seashells.

Florida Man thinks Joe Biden won 2016 election.
Timely and appropriate. The Biden census in 2020 robbed Florida of critical congressional seats and our significant growth justifies the need for mid-decade maps.

GOP: Watch at we embezzle taxpayer dollars, use classified information to gamble on the lives of our troops, and engage in crypto rug pulls.
Public: Democrats, can you do better?
Democrats: Yeah well I stole from Whole Foods!
Public: That's not what we meant...

People should be ashamed of themselves for engaging in this behavior, not bragging about it in the pages of The New York Times. Hasan Piker and Jia Tolentino are bad role models, to the extent that it seems almost beside the point to even spend any time on their loathsome politics.

NOT FUN FACT—half of all U.S. war casualties during WWI were due to influenza. Today—Trump’s War Secretary remove the flu vaccine requirement for all U.S. military. Plus, bragging about this to all enemies is just absolute idiocy.

This lady:
- spent 4 years targeting providers of free and cheap services (e.g., Amazon Prime)
- spent 4 years dutifully working for Biden on whose watch inflation almost hit 10%, but who argued it was "transitory"
- is getting shouts out from Warren, who overran Biden's admin with her handpicked minions (i.e., Warren was totally responsible for all this).
So, uh, affordability my ass! 2028 Dems should run away from Khan and Warren as fast as their legs can carry them...
