Just a reminder that a sitting Senator and his wife and a sitting representative and her husband were all shot and 2 were assassinated in a politically motivated spree killing 2 months ago and nobody gives a fuck

A friend sent me this. Heartbreaking.

Thanks to Karen Hao's brilliant book Empire of AI, I learned that ONLY drinking water can be used to cool data centers. Other types of water have too many impurities We are sacrificing our DRINKING water, so depraved tech loons can try to build themselves a god

Lush have closed their stores in the UK today in solidarity with the people of Palestine: “Whilst Lush is losing a day of takings, this also means that the UK Government is losing a day of tax contributions from Lush and our customers.” (weare.lush.com/lush-life/comp…)
