Exactly 100 new paid members to go to hit this annual goal. It'd be a miracle if we made it?
Ok last Patreon push of the year. On January 1 this year, I set a goal of getting to 1000 paid Patreon supporters by the end of the year. Right now between my newsletter and Patreon, I'm at 883.

Suckers who vote for xenophobic politicians imagine that immigrants are monopolizing resources that would otherwise be theirs.
In fact, politicians scapegoat immigrants in order to distract attention from the fact that they themselves are the ones hoarding resources.

You might find yourself wondering why American Tech is so brainwormed about AI. You might be confused about why they'd bleed themselves dry over a new tech. For them it's not just a new tech, but a silver bullet for their only real enemy and the one thing they hate the most:

So what do we do when they finally ram KOSA through?
They've demonstrated that they - like we've noticed - won't take no for an answer and they don't care what we actually want. Democrats are not even pretending to fight Trump's agendas in any significant way.

I think this highlights two things for folks who hate AI and want to stop massive data center expansion
First: when we're talking about AI, it's a mistake to lead with the environmental impact.
It's a bad frame, bc it implies that if the numbers were different, it would be ok. But it wouldn't.

new from me: are data centers going to wipe out water supplies? how much water does ChatGPT really use? and what's going on with that big correction in Empire of AI?

Given the urgency, this was filed as a Nine-Twelfths agenda item for Wednesday, December 17th. I need nine Councilors to approve this. If you want Council to exercise its oversight powers in this matter, reach out to your Councilors and ask them to sign the 9/12 request.
Thank you.

The public needs to know two things:
1. What are the circumstances around these funds and why didn't Council know about it ahead of budget?
2. Is Council going to do anything about that?
It's time for Council to step into its power and settle these questions for the public.
