When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Good on New Yorkers for not backing down against ICE thugs. I'm sure ICE will escalate in a way that people will suffer (because their orange lord and master wants suffering), but these goons need to be stood up to, regardless.

Trump’s USDA is threatening to withhold food stamp funding for 20 Democrat-controlled states if they don’t share recipients’ sensitive personal data.
Yes: Trump is weaponizing hunger against millions of Americans, including children, to score cheap political points.
The cruelty is endless.

This story sums up Trump: No need for evidence. No need for laws or treaties. No need for discussions. If Trump decides (based upon whatever random information or maybe just heartburn) that someone is in the wrong, he believes he has the right to kill them.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.
