Nuclear power plant owner wants $1.6 billion "loan guarantee" -- this means, in the end, a gift from the taxpayers -- to supply power to tech monopolist Microsoft.
This stinks in every conceivable way..

Three Mile Island owner seeks taxpayer backing for Microsoft AI deal

Nicole Mortillaro of CBC nicely lays out all the things that SpaceX's Starlink is doing to destroy astronomy and LEO.
"how much infrastructure in orbit do we need? How much can we put up there safely? How much can we put up there without having very long-term impacts on the environment?"
And of course, the article include the obligatory "SpaceX did not immediately respond to a CBC request for comment." because SpaceX doesn't think they have to answer to anyone.

Crazy. The For You feed is the root cause for so many of the ills in social media. The idea that “AI slop” will be injected as a test in people’s feeds in the coming months is another reason why the fediverse is more important than ever.

I'm super interested to see what the Website League (websiteleague.org/) comes up with. (I might even join their Discord 😩) It's an island network being created by #cohost users that's allowlist-based and very conscious of governance. I'm down for an experiment like that. Why not?
The FAQ on their site has some helpful analogies and values statements. I'm especially curious how I'd find new folks/islands/neighborhoods to connect with in a practical sense. In looking for where to create Mastodon accounts for some things recently, I found that some very relevant instances weren't in the common instance search tools or weren't labeled in ways that made them come up when searching. That scenario seems even more likely in an allowlist-based environment.
