This is insane:
The Stratos artificial intelligence datacenter footprint will cover more than 40,000 acres (62 sq miles) over three sites in Box Elder county in north-western Utah. The facility will require about 9GW of power, which is more than the entire state of Utah currently consumes, and suck up a significant amount of water in an area that has been hit by severe drought in recent years.

I have no idea what’s going on with this mural but I like it.
10,000 rulings: The courts’ overwhelming rebuke of Trump’s ICE policies
Yep, the administration has lost in court over 10,000 times. And basically, they don’t care and continue to violate the law. This does not make me optimistic about a free and fair election later this year.

What I Just Heard About the Plot To Oust Trump
Pure fantasy (shared by Robert Reich), but one can hope.
Rusted but still a classic.

“Mushroom Party”
Banks seek to offload risk to avoid ‘choking’ on data centre debt
Groups including JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and SMBC are trying to find ways to distribute portions of data centre-related deals to a broader range of investors, according to people familiar with the matter.
Lenders are exploring private deals to sell stakes in the debt as well as so-called risk transfers to reduce exposure to big borrowers and free up capacity for more lending.
Didn’t we do this with home mortgages a couple of decades ago? And look how well THAT turned out!
