As public awareness and resistance ramp up, I'm regularly reminded that researchers have been addressing the environmental, geopolitical, and political-economic impacts of data centers for *a very long time*; legislators, journalists, et al just haven't noticed!

So much think-piecing and op-ed'ing about data centers. I wish folks knew that some scholars have been studying these things — as real estate, as geopolitical battlegrounds, as ecological disasters — for a decade+. Mél Hogan, Alix Johnson, Ingrid Burrington, Jen Holt, Patrick Brodie, et al

I once introduced a man I was dating to philosophy. At first he didn't think he was smart enough for it, but I told him he was Ok. He's now a multi-millioner defense tech investor in the US and Israel. Don't use dating apps

absolutely losing my mind over the new found state paper's damning review of my parents' Central Asia tour. apparently they trolled the censorship committee -those lowlife criminals -by promising a professionally trained fly act but performing banned sad songs instead...unhinged 🪰💩🪰

I don't know where exactly the Centre for Luminescence Dating is in our building or what it does, but as someone with considerable experience in the queer dating scene, I know luminescence is a red flag. I spent a lot of time alone in the dark before this glow up

Things that I noticed to be much more commonplace in society than people who exoticise them seems to realize: 1. Queer men that date men and women. 2. Older women with younger men in an ordinary (non-fetishistic) relationships. 3. Zizeks. There's a Balkan pub full of them 200m away from my house
