As lots of people are liking a post I wrote that has the word "advice" in it, I need to issue my periodic reminder that my advice may in fact be terrible. I know very little, in general.

Most data centers use the same amount of water—or less—than an average large office building. Meanwhile, they're helping lower electricity costs by financing new power generation. The hysteria over AI data centers is going to age very, very poorly.

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul is enacting the nation’s first state-level moratorium on large-scale data center construction amid concerns over the impact of the facilities meant to support AI. politico.com/news/2026/07/1…

Kind of amazing that a fully made up criticism based on a decimal place error now motivates actual policy for the fourth largest state in the union.

SITUATION DETECTED: New York has imposed the first statewide moratorium on data centers, pausing permitting for projects at 50 megawatts or more for up to one year. Governor Hochul’s order takes effect immediately and directs regulators to set standards on energy and water use.

@andre_quentin @cluckerbuck1 I definitely think Derek and Ezra are themselves center-left and generally have a center-left vision for the country.
English
@btshapir @cluckerbuck1 Would you consider the "abundance" movement center-left?
English
My take:
The center-left is fully incoherent when in coalition with the far left. Center-left requires openness to disagreement, while the far left forbids it. They are incompatible worldviews.
Challenges are because they keep trying to coalition with the far left.

The center-left is having some real challenges. 1) D primary electorates are becoming more left-wing 2) Many voters see the center-left as synonymous with the D "establishment" when many on the center-left would reject that framing. So I have a few questions for the center-left.

@cluckerbuck1 Center-leftoids are people like e.g. Governors Polis, Shapiro & Beshear

@cluckerbuck1 The people who identify as center left do not agree.
The fact that you can't tell the difference is exactly making my point. The center left has a problem because regular people can't distinguish them from the left, due to coalitional confusion.
English
@cluckerbuck1 You are describing a position of the left. Not a position of the center left.
English
@cluckerbuck1 Being pro-growth center-left I think means wanting everyone to do better via growth rather than making it a zero sum competition between "working class" and others.
English
@btshapir There’s an emphasis on status and leadership amongst progressives that isn’t really relevant to working class voters due to credential differences. The former believe that they are entitled to leadership positions because they have the right papers while the latter do not.

I'm a Bills fan who thinks Josh Allen is the best player in the world.
I also openly advocated for the Bills to draft Jackson and not Allen. And Jackson has not disappointed.
Ranking him 69th is absurd.
Lamar Jackson is a top 10 NFL player easily, but I think top 5.

No. 69 on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026… @ravens QB Lamar Jackson! @NFLFilms

Turns out rage baiting Argentina soccer fans is much easier than rage baiting people about the definition of soup.
Congrats on advancing!

What a surprise Argentina getting a crazy favorable call

Making simulation an immediate red card would make soccer much more watchable.
