They climbed into that boat en route to storm the beach at Normandy as kids and into history as heroes. 4,414 never made it back. Today we don’t celebrate. We remember. Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

@wtflanksteak Why do people compare book counts? That's stupid. "Book" could mean Gone With the Wind or All Systems Red. One reader may read very slowly, another may be fast.

Finding out people on booktok skip everything but dialogue makes reading 30+ books a year make a lot more sense.

Data centres don’t “burn” water. They obey the Second Law of Thermodynamics. A high-energy system generates heat. That heat has to go somewhere. Water is simply one of the most efficient ways to move it. And the water itself is not destroyed. It returns to the water cycle.
Jenni@hashjenni

Can’t wrap my head around why AI data centers need fresh water. Not recycled, not wastewater. Fresh, drinkable water, burned through by the millions of gallons just to keep servers cool. Why are we using a basic human necessity to prop up machines?

Just so you don’t need to be corrected today, and with respect, don’t wish combat veterans Happy Memorial Day. It ain’t happy.

The image depicts Katherine Cathey, the pregnant widow of U.S. Marine 2nd Lt. James “Jim” Cathey, lying on an air mattress on the floor in front of her husband’s flag-draped casket the night before his burial. A Marine honor guard stands vigil in the background. Jim Cathey was tragically killed in action in Iraq in August 2005. Overcome with grief, Katherine refused to leave her husband’s casket. She requested to spend one final night with him. Two Marines went to great lengths to provide her with a makeshift bed, using a mattress and pillows on the floor. One Marine stood guard over her and the casket throughout the night. This powerful and Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph was captured by Todd Heisler in 2005 as part of his series “Jim Comes Home” for the Rocky Mountain News.
