"Both the agreement’s text and Mr. Carney’s remarks the same day were loaded with references to powering AI data centres – an indication that he’s fine with more fossil fuel use in the name of digital sovereignty."

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk
on your knees for a hundred miles
through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal
of your body love what it loves.

Mary Oliver, 20th century

Students should have just boycotted the new university fees system when it was introduced. It would have been scary for a year, then normality would have had to ensue, as it sis in the likes of Germany. Instead, we have the fucking disaster we see now.

In the Q&A after Judith Butler’s job talk at Berkeley she was asked, given what she’d just argued, if she could see women in the audience.

She came out from behind the podium, hooked her thumbs in the belt loops of her jeans, gave the audience a long appraisal, and said: “Yep.”
