📋️ The more Americans hear about datacenters, the less they like them

｢ Pew surveyed 10,548 US adults between July 20 and August 9. Fifty-four percent said datacenters were mostly bad for the environment, up from 39 percent in January. Half said they were mostly bad for household energy costs, up from 38 percent, while 49 percent viewed them negatively for the quality of life of nearby residents, up from 30 percent ｣

If you've never been there/read up on it, Bangkok's greater metropolitan area is home to over 17 million people—we're talking New York/London in scale—and is on the Chao Phraya river delta in reclaimed swampland. There are canals, and drainage is a perpetual problem.

This is as bad as the entire Netherlands facing inundation.

Today a social media algorithm showed me a post stoking outrage about the cost of a local library's holdings.

One of the top comments was a thread started by a parent who whose child had donated those works to the library before passing away.

What started as an argument continued as a tribute. <3

1st and goal, ball on the Iowa 5. We can't screw THIS up right?

@ozoned 100 episodes!!!! w00t!

@ricci sono d'accordo. Per questo penso che il Liceo Scientifico abbia consentito di creare un ambiente stimolante in cui rampolli della upper class meno bravi a scuola o rampolli più ossessionati dalla tecnologia e dalla scienza si sono confrontati con i ragazzi più versati allo studio provenienti dalle classi meno agiate e per questo privati della possibilità di andare al classico. Un esperimento sociale che ha portato a un virtuoso meticciato intellettuale

More scientific research is published now than at any previous point in history, and yet the majority of it never makes its way to the general public. This is only getting worse now that the billionaires have completely taken over legacy media. @briefecology is an attempt to improve this situation, by focusing on recent ecological research and exploring how to improve nature-society relations.

@lrhodes Sounds all too familiar. Lemme guess: you’re only allowed to read on iOS, Android or in a browser?
