The volume of water needed to cool the servers in data centers has become a nationwide resource issue.

Volume isn’t the most pressing problem in Morrow County, however. The issue is pollution, which Amazon’s data centers have exacerbated since its arrival.

Wth is happening in the US? Every day this Trump regime brings more shame on the nation. It's going to take decades to remove this shitstain from the reputation of the country.

Now the BBC are pulling at another thread. If I was the wide mouthed frog I would be seriously worried right now.
Congratulations to the BBC who were emboldened by recent events to run with it on the 6pm news!!!

I’m beyond proud of Peter Ettedgui speaking out about Farage and the vile antisemitic abuse he endured. I first heard Peter’s story nearly 20 years ago when Farage was a virtual nobody. It’s not a hit job. Just the truth

I want to apologize to the rest of the world, because electing this guy didn’t just harm us, it sent shockwaves through global democracy.

Thanks to this incompetent government, we’ve managed to export our chaos far beyond our own borders.

"Inside the White House, top advisers joke that they are ruling Congress with an “iron fist,” according to people who have heard the comments. Steve Bannon, the influential Trump ally, likened Congress to the Duma, the Russian assembly that is largely ceremonial."

Just imagine if the leader of the Labour or Conservative parties in Wales were sent to prison for a decade for being a traitor for Putin.

There would be fundamental, unavoidable questions about the fitness of the entire party to govern

The wide mouthed frog is starting to lose his 'super confident ' appearance. Finally the British media are starting to pull at the threads and he is beginning to unravel.
The former leader of Reform in Wales pled GUILTY to accepting bribes from Russia.

As hard as Farage may try, he cannot duck the scrutiny...

We need a full investigation into Russian interference in our politics - the people of Wales deserve full transparency.

It's left to ITV News to rattle Farage and expose him as the racist we all know he is. The BBC will obviously cover it out of duty, suffocate the story as soon as it can, and move on. Well oiled Reform machine. #wato

Trump has repeatedly claimed that gas prices have fallen, are at $2 per gallon, and are the lowest in two decades. Not surprisingly, he’s lying. The national average for regular gas stands at $3.055 today, almost exactly the same as $3.056 a year ago under President Biden, according to AAA. ⛽️

Oh they will come out with excuses...

"Too little, too late" (ingoring the fact it's far from the first time)

"Not stop copying Reform" (note: they are not doing that)

"They should just ignore Reform" (yeah, easy to do that when specifically and directly asked about Reform/Reform MPs asked Qs)

Is that unambiguous enough for those saying Starmer should speak out about Reform UK Ltd?
"How on earth could they respond to a situation like this?"

"There's no point standing up and saying you support Ukraine, if within your own party you are pro-Russian."

As I was preparing this clip, Richard Tice asked a question. The PM's response included this:

"Reform are pro-Putin."

This is called right wing political bias…in favour of a right-wing corrupt president. So much for freedom of speech, and good on Bregman for blowing the whistle...
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Given the GOP majority is so small it wouldn't take many Reps to step down early to make the midterms almost irrelevant. The Dems could be in the majority long before then. Here's hoping!🙂
