I'm still working on this AI data center environmental effects talk (which, let me tell you, is seriously fucking depressing), but I wanted to share the best article I've come across on this topic, in case anyone else is interested in knowing exactly how much to hate slop-AI* use: technologyreview.com/2025/05/2

(I am using slop-AI purposefully here to mean something you could do with more effort on your part, in a less energy intensive way)

I wanted the American people to not elect Trump TWICE so that we wouldn't have to put up with his corrupt Supreme Court. Boy did the anti Hillary and anti Kamala crowd screw over this country.

@evan which misses the first letter entirely, it dropped both the diacritic vowels AND the letter vowels

@evan @maj I was in Montreal in October (thanks for the poutine!) at the beginning of the season, and was at a sports bar for an office dinner. They were playing Toronto at NY (baseball) and Montreal at Toronto (hockey), and we were expected to cheer for Toronto and Montreal, respectively.

That led to a point where Toronto was up by one (that's good!) and Toronto was up by one (that's bad).
