Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: You can't earn a billion dollars. Ilana Glazer: That's right. AOC: You just can't earn that. Glazer: That's exactly correct. AOC: You can get market power. You can break rules. You can do all sorts of things. You can abuse labor laws. Glazer: Yup. AOC: You can pay people less than what they're worth. Glazer: Yup. AOC: But you can't earn that, right? Glazer: That's right. AOC: And so you have to create a myth that -- since you didn't earn that, you have to create a myth of earning it.

The new logic of violence: “Drones bring the logic of mutually assured destruction down to the individual level.… If you really hate somebody, in the future, a drone will be able to get them.”

What’s life like outside of the megaregions I feel like I’ve lived a lot of places but turns out never outside of a megaregion

Sorry to my friends in the Great Lakes but these circles are where the ‘climate refugees’ from FL TX AZ are going to move, not inner city Detroit and Milwaukee

Naval: “We have to nurture optimism. We have to reward optimism. We have to be irrationally optimistic, because that’s the only way out of this anyway.”

Municipal election day on Mackinac Island, today. Mayor Doud is running unopposed. The mayoral elections are annual, so this will be her 51st term she'll be heading into after tonight.

Aalo has received DSA approval from DOE for our 10 MW reactor, zero-power criticality! This is the equivalent of an NRC license in DOE space. We've been working towards this milestone at Aalo for 2.5 years. This was a very ambitious project under the DOE reactor pilot program for a bunch of reasons: ➡️ 10 MW, commercial-scale system. This is a system with the full-scale amount of fuel, moderator, controls, etc, necessary for powering AI data centers. Proving out this supply chain is a big deal. In the coming weeks we'll be taking it to zero power criticality, and then going to full-power operation in the months that follow. We'll be getting the factory set up in parallel to mass-produce it. ➡️ Built everything ourselves, from scratch. We started with a green field, and within 4 months finished the building, facilities, policies & procedures, reactor, shielding, instrumentation, control, etc. People thought this would be impossible to do on this timeline for a reactor of this size, but we've done it. Hyperscalers care about speed, and we're showing that moving fast is possible at commercial scale. ➡️ Achieving criticality before July 4th. We set out to ensure we met the president's order, and we are on pace to do so. We only started hiring at Aalo 2.5 yrs ago. It was questionable how realistic it was to take on all of the above while being one of the younger nuclear companies, but we are on track to pull it off. Insanely proud of the team for all the hard work, nights and weekends that went into this. Full blog post will be linked in comments.

I am astounded by the number of millennial families who moved to Dallas, bought a home, then turned around and sold the home to move out of Dallas, in less than a 5 year time span Is Dallas just super transient or is this a post-pandemic phenomenon happening everywhere?
