    Sam Altman’s Stargate is science fiction
    https://www.theverge.com/openai/603952/sam-altman-stargate-ai-data-center-plan-hype-funding
    A great narrative built on shaky ground. If it materializes, Stargate could effectively be the largest private computing infrastructure project in history. It would mean a network of massive computing complexes — each spanning hundreds of acres and consuming as much power as a small city. Each facility would draw enough electricity to power tens of thousands of homes, requiring its own electrical substations and transmission lines. It’s a bid not just for computing dominance, but for control of a significant chunk of America’s energy infrastructure.

    How Biden’s Foreign Policy Destroyed His Presidency
    https://www.thenation.com/article/world/biden-gaza-legacy-foreign-policy/
    Biden's domestic agenda was the most progressive of any president since Lyndon Johnson. But it was entwined with a foreign policy that leaves his legacy drowned in blood. As progressive and left critics have repeatedly pointed out, this foreign policy vision failed not just because of faulty execution but because of fundamental contradictions. The sharpest critics of Bidenism have been left voices such as Richard Beck (writing in New Left Review), Adam Tooze (in the London Review of Books), and Grey Anderson (in Sidecar) and progressive critics like Nancy Okail and Matt Duss (writing together in Foreign Affairs). Despite their differing perspectives, these critics all focused on the internally contradictory nature of Bidenism: The problem with military Keynesianism is that, over time, the militarism devours the Keynesianism.

    Justice Dept. discusses dropping corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams, source says
    https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/eric-adams-justice-department-meeting-about-dropping-charges/
    Senior Justice Department officials have held discussions with federal prosecutors in Manhattan about the possibility of dropping corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a source familiar with the discussions confirmed to CBS News. Adams was indicted on five counts of corruption in September, including bribery, conspiracy and campaign finance violations. He has pleaded not guilty on those counts. If he is found guilty, the charges could result in up to 45 years in prison. The Justice Department did not comment. CBS News has asked reached out to Mayor Adams' office for comment. There is no indication yet that federal prosecutors in New York who brought the case will drop the charges.

    Forget 'Emilia Pérez.' Its parody, 'Johanne Sacreblu,' is the real work of art
    https://www.latimes.com/delos/story/2025-01-29/emilia-perez-parody-johanne-sacreblu-jp-brammer-representation-mexico-france
    "Johanne Sacreblu," a parody of "Emilia Pérez" directed by filmmaker Camila Aurora, has gone viral online — and for good reason. I’m here to champion a work of art that centers a transgender woman in the lead role, to make the case for thought-provoking cinema that subverts tropes by radically embracing them. I could only be speaking, of course, of “Johanne Sacreblu,” the “Emilia Pérez” homage and the directorial debut of Mexican filmmaker Camila Aurora. In addition to being the most compelling conflict between France and Mexico since the Battle of Puebla, it’s the critique of shallow Hollywood representation I’ve been waiting for. To access “Johanne Sacreblu” as a text, you need both a working knowledge of Spanish (there are, as of the time I’m writing this, no English subtitles) and of “Emilia Pérez,” the polarizing musical directed by French filmmaker Jacques Audiard that recently snatched up a mind-blowing 13 Oscar nominations. In order to get to France, we have to cruise through Mexico, which, in “Emilia Pérez,” is just France with a sepia filter. Regardless, allons-y.

    RFK Jr. tries (again) to distance himself from the anti-vaccine movement

    Kennedy's statements at his confirmation hearing bore little resemblance to the years of documented stances he took on vaccines. The dissonance did little to blunt the excitement in the anti-vaccine movement.
