Mollie blocked me on Twitter because I pointed out that she had mis-quoted herself, and for that she’ll always be a headline speaker.

AB 93 was one of four bills meant to regulate data centers and their enormous usage of resources. Two others that didn’t make it out of the legislature would have required data centers to publicize their energy consumption and would have given a tax exemption to centers that used renewable energy. The fourth, Senate Bill 57, was signed by the governor on Saturday in a watered-down form. It was originally intended to protect electricity ratepayers from having to shoulder the costs of data centers in their communities, but now simply authorizes the Public Utilities Commission to study whether the cost-shift is happening.

And even within governance -as if Elinor Ostrom's body of work does not exist- that his whipsawing of funds and government based on the whims of “these guys” is somehow going to be more efficient, rather then the flaming disaster it is shaping up to be.

You are so right. If he HAD died of a drug overdose instead, it likely would not have even made news, despite the cruelty it implies regardless.

Machado issues her first statement since being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and makes a thinly-veiled appeal to Trump for US intervention in Venezuela:

This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.
We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.
I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!
