I’ll rewrite the headline for them: not enough water for people if Data Centres built
Prem Sikka@premnsikka.bsky.social · 2w agoThe UK will not have enough water for future datacentres. England faces 5bn litre a day shortfall for public water supplies. A trillion litres of water a year lost to leaks. Widespread hosepipe bans. No national grid for water. Poor infrastructure. No national plan.
What can you get in Central London for £8? Cinema ticket? No. Coffee & sandwich? Just about. Tonight you could have heard 105 musicians of the BBC Philharmonic playing Betsy Jolas, Sibelius & Strauss at the BBC Proms. Some of world’s finest players are there every night until Sept 12. For £8. Go!

Reprehensible post-match behaviour from some of the Argentinian players, Leandro Paredes in particular, who received a red card for his violent actions. #WorldCupFinal
Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 2w agoViolent Argentinian players stained the biggest professional moment of Spanish players' lives and set the worst possible example for hundreds of millions of children on how to handle defeat in sport. Reprehensible. Appearing in the World Cup should be a privilege, not a right. Ban them outright.

Imagine the UK govt telling us all to not run our fans/AC or use our drinking water because data centres take the bulk of the electrical grid and potable water. We are grossly underreacting to the danger data centres pose on our lives and our resources in the UK. If it's us vs them, they need to go.
