Data centers aren’t just driving up electric bills.

Insatiable demand from AI is consuming the world's memory and storage supply.

Manufacturers are redirecting production, creating a supply squeeze that is driving up prices for SSDs, DRAM, and HDDs for years to come.

Once-cheap SSDs, DRAM, and HDD prices are climbing fast as AI demand and constrained supply converge to create the tightest market in years.

“I fear for public health in our country.”

Former CDC Chief Medical Officer @drdebhoury.bsky.social says that the national US public health system has been subjected to a “hostile takeover” and she’s right. We should all share her fears. Kennedy must go.

"Although the new fee is written in neutral language, its impact is not. More than 70% of H-1B visas go to Indian nationals. In health care, Indian physicians make up one of the largest cohorts of international graduates & are disproportionately likely to serve in rural & underserved communities."
A $100,000 fee for H-1B visas will devastate U.S. health care
A $100,000 fee for H-1B visas will particularly affect physicians trained in India who the U.S. can't afford to lose, writes @geeta_minocha.

It’s wild to me that the Pentagon is just… fine with reporting that most of our senior military are going to be in the same location.

Trying to phrase as delicately as possible to abide by TOS and cover my ass: Nullifying the plain text of the Constitution as explicitly meant by those that penned it for the purpose of voiding a right to citizenship crosses a threshold that cannot be uncrossed and I hope even this SCOTUS sees that.

I’m starting to notice a trend in the polling data…

—Top Public Worry: Corruption

—Biggest problem in Fed Gov: Corruption

—Top fear: Corruption

—What one word would you use to describe American government?: “Corrupt”

It’s almost like voters are trying to tell us something.
