The Republican dream

You’re assuming that the world is covered in server racks. I don’t expect anything like that, even with significant increases in datacenter construction.

Let’s assume 1kw per person. 10 billion people at peak population some time hence. So about 150 billion m² to provide 1kw per person 24/7. The earth’s surface area is 510.1 trillion m², of which about 1/3 is land. So we’re probably just fine on renewables.

I agree that it would have been better for people to figure things out a lot sooner. Its really hard for folks who are either listening to the right wing propaganda machine or tuned out from the news. I’ll take late over never any day.

Three options:

1. Go to every embassy or consulate you can and try to get a visa
2. Live illegally in another country
3. End up in a concentration camp

Nothing people do has zero impact. But pretty much everything else has a bigger one. Coal will utterly destroy the land, and the gases emitted after it burns will destroy far more.

Solar like this on a few percent of the land will supply all the electricity people need. So it looks huge, but is surprisingly low-impact compared with other options, or things like raising cattle

I prefer to give people space to change who they are and how they vote.

Not if we don’t try

Its on us to change out our government with one that is full of people who think that government exists to improve peoples’ lives.

This is a national problem, not just a Texas one.

Nah. Deported before the event to ensure that somebody whiter wins

I think they wanted it to be a bit less blatant — they took down this version and Yaccarino resigned

Its Musk’s LLM, which interacts with people on X. He’s been paying people to tune it to be more hate-oriented for years.

The US has a permanent seat at the UN security council, which means the US government can veto anything there

He has, however, read a collection of Hitler’s speeches:

Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.

“Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?” I asked Trump.

Trump hesitated. “Who told you that?”

“I don’t remember,” I said.

“Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew.” (“I did give him a book about Hitler,” Marty Davis said. “But it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”)

Later, Trump returned to this subject. “If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them.”

He’s been spewing antisemitism like this since at least 2015. (I didn’t pay much attention to him before then)

It’s not just ignorance when it’s pointed out repeatedly over the years and you keep doing it.

Happens every day already. Just not organized
