And guess who's funding data centre construction... Blackstone and other vulture funds... the perfect recipe for desaster - at our cost, not theirs
Patrick Bresnihan@pbresnihan.bsky.social · 4d agoWhen we talk about data centre expansion representing an 'irrational allocation of resources' (@iliasalami.bsky.social), this is what we are talking about. When there are severe deficits in social infrastructure, construction capacity should not be funnelled into speculative AI.

In Ireland, the govnt commissioned a report that exaggerated the benefits of data centres. In the UK, figures produced by the tech industry are taken as given. It is the work of policy-makers, not think tanks, to interrogate industry claims. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
UK datacentres will create just 25% of jobs predicted by tech sector, analysis finds
Facilities likely to employ 10,400 workers, compared with 40,000 in industry estimates, thinktank says

Feminist planners -> Anyone out there contesting the gender bias in generalised aircon use? Aircon is increasingly introduced into public spaces and used outside heat days too. Yet supercooled spaces are biased towards male bodies and wellbeing, just as cars are designed for male bodies and safety.
I don't think people understand the extent to which this has been a decade plus long billionaire funded campaign (obviously Thiel is involved). We've tried to ring the alarm about these eugenicists but it is too easy for them to get parroted by the mainstream media. bylinetimes.com/2026/08/18/t...

El Danubio se seca. La gran arteria fluvial que vertebra el centro y el este de Europa a través de diez países es un reflejo más de los impactos de la crisis climática.
El Danubio se seca: crisis energética, navíos varados y vestigios del pasado al descubierto - Climática
El calor extremo y la sequía desencadenan una tormenta perfecta a lo largo de diez países europeos, obligando a restringir el consumo eléctrico, frustrando la navegación y transformando el lecho del río en un museo al aire libre.

In the name of competitiveness and defence, the EU is going backwards on climate action. €800 billion has been committed to prepare for war by 2030, far outstripping anything that is being invested in climate resilience and a green transition. This is madness. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...
Opinion: Europe needs to start treating the climate emergency as a threat to our national security
Idea that climate action is about individual responsibility is as ridiculous as suggesting everyone can equip themselves to fight in war

AI is being imposed, regardless the social and environmental cost. This must be resisted. 'Widespread adoption of AI is no longer being treated as something that might happen...It is becoming an objective of supranational government policy.' euobserver.com/231973/rever...
Reverse centaurs: EU approach to AI risks dystopia for human workers
The EU Commission is manifesting AI as a 'vulgar Thatcherism', while leaving the predictably negative side-effects to fall on citizens.
