Three letters, one word:

"And".

It's helped get me through some tough times lately.

When life gives you the worst, and you make it through, just ask yourself:

And now what?
And now what can I do with what I've just learned?
And what have I unlocked about myself?
And where are we headed next?

Another weekend 10KM run. 24*C and a few magpies.
Today we're in for a cheeky 4KM at lunch.
Managing to keep the weight down.
Sleep schedule improving.
Keep going.

"The growth of AI has been called the “savior” of the gas industry. In Virginia alone, the data center capital of the world, a new state report found that AI demand could add a new 1.5 gigawatt gas plant every two years for 15 consecutive years"

AI is guzzling gas
Big Tech is paying for gas plants and pipelines to directly power data centers, threatening global climate goals.

Everyone knows data centers use a ton of water.

What hardly anyone knows: they can poison the water that remains.

And in eastern Oregon, Amazon is doing exactly that.
AI’s water problem is worse than we thought
A new investigation reveals how Amazon is amplifying Oregon’s nitrate pollution crisis.

AI is one of the most infuriating phenomena in the world because I'm here reading about how it killed a kid, then I go out into society and people are like, "well you have to admit it's good for some things" No

So I finally think I've worked out why Mabel was rejected at a very early age by her parents (and constantly attacked by them over the years):

She's blind in one eye = damaged goods.

As in, cannot see me out of her right-side peeper.
