On a recent flight my seatmates learned I was a writer and asked my opinion on AI. They didn't understand genAI is based on work stolen from authors, and they DEFINITELY didn't know about the energy costs. Both shocked them. People just don't know.
Info on its energy gobbling should be in every news story about AI. It is newsworthy. It is inseparable from the tech itself.
It's all fun and games until …

Last weekend in Chicago, 1500 historians gathered for the Organization of American Historians' conference where leading scholars discussed little things like, oh, the fate of democracy.

It would appear CNN was also at the eugenics conference? Why are all these mainstream news orgs at a 200-person event where all the speakers are eugenicists and racists? www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/u...

What if left wing politics is actually popular and its “unelectability” is just a right wing propaganda campaign propped up by a media largely owned by right wing billionaires?
BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.
Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

If DC Studios was to produce a TV Christmas Special starring one or more of our DC characters (in the tradition of the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special), who would you want it to be?
