Someone needs to tell the US Senate and MAGA that almost every single country had vaccine mandates and lockdowns.

It’s not unique to America.

No other country is attempting to persecute the doctors in charge of public health.

Also, COVID isn’t over.

@Nonilex Good God! Dr. #Fauci should be receiving the Medal of Freedom for the job he at least attempted to do in 2020-21. He was a dedicated civil servant for decades, and these blockheads are trying to make it all about him wanting fortune and fame. And people are buying it! It makes me sick to my stomach! #USPol

On another site I lurk there’s been a lot of talk about what we’re going to need to do when we defeat the fascists here in the US, but mostly I haven’t found the suggestions helpful

Today, on a new podcast I started listening to, a Black woman said that Black peoples’ fight for reparations should be the blueprint for fixing everything going forward and that’s something I hope is explored a lot more

NY Times: Trump Administration Is Repurposing Federal Land for A.I. Data Centers

The #EnvironmentalCost of #ArtificialIntelligence: #Carbon, #Water, and #LandFootprints

#AI’s rapid growth drives huge energy, water, and land use, raising environmental and equity challenges across its global infrastructure.

Date Published 3 Jun 2026

UNU-INWEH Report: Aczel, M., Chamanara, S., Matin, M., Farsi, A., Marwala, T., Madani, K. (2026).

"This report, Environmental Cost of Artificial Intelligence: Carbon, Water and Land Footprints, by the #UnitedNationsUniversity Institute for Water, Environment and Health ( #UNU - #INWEH ) on its 30th anniversary, examines one of the most underexplored consequences of AI’s rapid expansion: the environmental footprints of the energy required to power it. As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in economies, public services, research, communication, and everyday life, it depends on a growing physical infrastructure of #datacenters, advanced #chips, #CoolingSystems, #ElectricityGrids, #WaterResources, land, and #CriticalMineral supply chains. The report shows that AI is not only a digital technology, but also a material system with measurable #EnvironmentalCosts.

"The report moves beyond a carbon-only lens by quantifying the carbon, water, and land footprints associated with the electricity used to train, deploy, and operate AI systems at scale. Its central finding is that AI’s environmental costs depend not only on how much electricity is used, but also on where that electricity is generated and which energy sources power it. Every kilowatt-hour used by AI carries carbon, water, and land implications, and these footprints do not always move in the same direction: low-carbon electricity is not automatically low-water or low-land. The report also shows that AI’s footprint is shaped by both major infrastructure trends, including the rapid growth of data centers, and everyday use patterns, including model choice, output length, modality, and the growing use of text, image, and video generation.

"Importantly, the report frames AI’s environmental footprint as a governance and justice challenge, not only a technical problem. The benefits of AI often flow across borders and sectors, while the environmental burdens of data center siting, electricity demand, water withdrawals, #LandUse, MineralExtraction, and #EWaste can be concentrated in specific communities and regions. To address these risks, the report calls for a responsible AI ecosystem grounded in transparency, efficiency by design, equity and #EnvironmentalJustice, lifecycle responsibility, global cooperation, and sustainable use. By making AI’s carbon, water, and land footprints visible and comparable, the report provides a practical basis for integrating AI into energy, climate, water, and land-use planning, ensuring that innovation advances without shifting environmental costs onto vulnerable communities."

Press Release: Rising #Emissions, Depleting #Water and Vanishing #Land—UN Scientists: #AI Is Threatening #NaturalResources for Billions

By 2030, AI's water use will match the needs of 1.3 billion people while its power use triples that of 650 million, UN University investigation warns

Date Published
3 Jun 2026

Excerpt: "Inference, efficiency, and the rebound effect

"Public discussion has largely focused on the energy required to train massive models. Training GPT-3 was estimated to require 1.3 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity, while estimates suggest GPT-4 consumed between 50 and 70 GWh. However, the report reveals this framing is outdated. Once a model is deployed, inference—the continuous running of models to answer everyday user prompts—becomes the dominant cost, accounting for 80 to 90 per cent of total #AI energy use. ChatGPT alone is estimated to process around 2.5 billion prompts per day, translating to roughly 383 GWh of electricity per year for a single product. Offsetting associated carbon emissions would require 2.6 million tree seedlings grown for 10 years, enough trees to cover a land area the size of Manhattan. The water footprint is equivalent to the minimum annual domestic water needs of roughly 500,000 people in Sub-Saharan Africa, and the land footprint is equal to over 800 football fields."

The question I have is: What’s the final straw for people/businesses/orgs using meta platforms still? Businesses across the board still rely on it for reach, or at least instagram in particular, and I still imagine they’ll cling onto it despite the dwindling numbers and lack of defined alternatives. WhatsApp also still dominates for messaging in many countries.

The top #Democrat on the panel, Senator #GaryPeters of Michigan, accused #RandPaul of waging a politically-motivated inquiry to “basically legitimize a predetermined conclusion that was reached years ago.”

Dr. #Fauci & Mr. Paul have been tangling with one another for years. In 2021, when the senator accused Dr. Fauci of lying while testifying before the #Senate, Dr. Fauci replied, “If anybody is lying here, senator, it is you.”

#COVID #ConspiracyTheories #PublicHealth #science #USpol #law

Over the weekend, #RandPaul released >1,100 pages of Dr. #Fauci’s typewritten personal diary without saying how he got them. On Tuesday, “Health” Secy #RFKJr said he gave the documents to Paul & another [crazy] #Republican, Sen #RonJohnson of Wisconsin, “so they could see the light of day.”

#Trump #COVID #ConspiracyTheories #PublicHealth #science #medicine #USpol #law

The diary does not add much to the scientific debate around the so-called lab leak theory. Rather, it echoes past disclosures showing Dr. #Fauci wrestling with a fast-moving crisis as scientific understanding of the virus evolved.

But the entries included personal observations in which Dr. Fauci marveled at his fame & relationships with celebrities, further inflaming a partisan political battle. [it had to be surreal for him]

On Tuesday, a group of >155 physicians, scientists & #PublicHealth advocates, organized by #AIDS activists who worked closely with Dr. #Fauci in the 1990s, issued a public letter defending him & condemning what they considered the #Trump admin’s relentless attacks on #science & scientists.

#COVID #ConspiracyTheories #medicine #USpol #law

Early in the hearing, #RandPaul warned that there would be “repercussions” for Dr. Fauci’s refusal to testify, & then ordered the removal of his lawyer‼️, David Schertler, when he tried to speak up on his client’s behalf. The hearing, unusual even by the #Senate’s recent hyperpartisan standards, also featured #ConspiracyTheories & personal attacks, with Republicans taunting Dr. #Fauci as a megalomaniac & a liar.

#Trump #COVID #PublicHealth #science #medicine #USpol #law

Senator #RandPaul accuses Dr. #Fauci of funding research in China that sparked the #pandemic, & then lying about it to #Congress — outrageous accusations Dr. Fauci vehemently denies.

In a brief opening statement, Dr. Fauci noted that he had testified before Congress more than 200 times during the 38 years he ran the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases [ #NIAID ], including during the #Covid pandemic.

#Trump #ConspiracyTheories #PublicHealth #science #medicine #USpol #law

“the only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, ‘behind bars,’”Dr. #Fauci said

Dr. Fauci told the panel that it pained him not to answer questions, but that he was doing so on the advice of his lawyers.
