this is imo an example of how data center hatred isn't just reflexive nimbyism
This is wild. 93% of the renewable electricity generation added to the Irish grid over that last decade now powers data centers, rather than reducing fossil fuel use. Data centers have pretty much annihilated the health and climate benefits those renewables could have provided.
What is even more striking is that data centre demand has matched 93% of the growth in renewable electricity generation (wind + solar + hydro) over the past decade. If we measure since 2020, data centre demand has grown nearly 3-times faster than renewable electricity growth.

Feeling pretty good about the reflexive inclination tbh
[Pryor] Ryan Kennedy, the Lions fan involved in the altercation with DK Metcalf, held a press conference. Unclear his full message because the audio on their zoom was muted until halfway through
He did ask “DeKaylin” to tell people he didnt use racial slur or hate speech twitter.com/bepryor/stat...

Kind of fucking sucks that my reflexive reaction to any “animal doing a cute thing” video now is “is this AI?“

If you are buying or using an Elon Musk product, I just automatically assume you are a bad person. It's just reflexive.
Oligarch Elon Musk said Wednesday that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau should be abolished. Like Putin's oligarchs, Musk wants no regulations so he can make money by screwing over working class people. Musk is a cancer. www.politico.com/live-updates...
‘Delete CFPB’: Musk calls for elimination of consumer bureau
Republicans and the financial industry have long targeted the CFPB for what they consider its overly aggressive regulation.

Think I'm going to start a social media campaign arguing that Trump shouldn't be allowed to fire handguns during his Cabinet meetings and see where his reflexive spite takes us.

“it’s probably a black person’s fault this bad thing happened” as a reflexive explanation is just a racist statement, there’s not a level of substantiation that makes it not racist bsky.app/profile/pgou...
more like: his remarks followed his reflex to seize on occasions of public distress and fear as opportunities to deny accountability through escalating racist and partisan demagoguery

conservative baseline reflexive hatred of anything libs like has now expanded to hatred of anything that anyone likes
I think it’s fascinating how this administration’s guiding principle on every single policy is just “be evil.”
Starving children? Take away their food. AIDS patients? Take away their treatments. Refugees from conflict zones? Deport them. Nations under attack? Cut off assistance. VA? Fire everyone.

I think it's fucking pitiful to require this kind of reflexive affirmation and deference from everyone around you
There's just really no way to exaggerate how dumb & pathetic & offputting I find everything about this.

Reflexive contrarianism is a hell of a drug.
If I were a writer for a prestigious national magazine I would include more evidence for my thesis than against it, but that's just me

Kill the reflexive urge to engage with anything you think is neat by finding out what the worst people you can imagine are saying about it first. Feel what you're feeling and move on with your day.

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling.
Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.

It is not good that on almost every single policy question, this remains the reflexive position of Democratic elites, donors, and pundits — and many of their liberal fans.

“Restore more doctrinaire leadership” about THE ACTUAL PAPACY is really a gorgeous combination of the Times’ hick condescension toward religion and its reflexive belief that right-wing politics is the only true and authentic politics
Pope Francis died at 88, the Vatican announced Monday, ending a pontificate that sought to reshape the Roman Catholic Church into a more inclusive institution. Cardinals will now decide whether to continue his approach or restore more doctrinaire leadership.
