The results here illustrate a couple of things: (1) treating these proposals as 12 separate proposals was destined for failure when success is defined as a stakeholder-weighted vote in support of 1, and (2) the disagreements here are really around just a few issues. 1/
If you spend even just a little time with all the proposals, you find that there was good unanimity around (1) improving load forecasting, (2) making DR more workable in the short term, and (3) accelerating generator interconnection to facilitate "bring your own power". 2/
Several of the "separate proposals" mostly included variations on these things, or additions to this list, not full on new proposals or disagreement around these items. 3/
The U.S. Power Crisis: How AI Data Centers Are Breaking the Grid
AI data centers are on track to become one of the biggest single loads on the U.S. grid. Data center electricity use is projected to jump from 176 TWh in 2023 to 450–580 TWh by 2028—up to 12% of all U.S. electricity.
That surge is slamming into a grid already strained by aging infrastructure, generator retirements, transformer shortages, and a collapse in transmission build-out.
By 2028, the U.S. faces a 13–73 GW shortfall of firm capacity—enough to power 3–18 million homes. This isn’t a distant 2040 climate scenario; it’s a 2025–2028 crunch already showing up in higher bills and growing reliability risks.
What does the next decade look like? Who pays for it? Here's the full breakdown:

What does the next decade look like? Who pays for it? Here's the full breakdown:
The Demand Shock: A Collision with Reality
For two decades, U.S. electricity demand was flat. That era is over.
• The AI Factor: Traditional data centers consume 5-10 kW per rack. AI clusters require 60+ kW per rack—a 6-10x increase.
• Scale: A single cluster of 100,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs consumes roughly 150 MW, enough to power a small city.
• The Timeline Mismatch: You can build a data center in 2-3 years. A power plant takes 5-15 years; transmission lines take 7-20 years.
Demand is simply outrunning the physical ability to build infrastructure.

Generation: Building Too Little, Too Late
We need to double the pace of generation additions, but every path forward is blocked.
• Natural Gas (The Only Near-Term Fix): Gas is the only baseload power deployable by 2028. However, turbines face 7-year wait times, and new plants face intense environmental opposition.
• Nuclear (The 2030s Solution): Despite hype from Amazon, Google, and Microsoft regarding Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), zero commercial SMRs will be online by 2028. The earliest optimistic timelines are 2030-2035.
• Renewables & Storage: Solar and batteries are growing fast, but they lack the "capacity factor" needed for 24/7 AI operations. Batteries are great for peak shaving, not multi-day backup.
• Coal: In a desperate move, utilities in Nebraska and Maryland are delaying coal plant retirements just to keep the lights on.

Two Hartford, VT Middle School teachers are forcing 6th graders to read a trans-identity novel that encourages kids to hate their bodies and question their s-x.
This isn’t “education.”

Graphic Gender Ideology:
“The Other Boy” pushes the idea that hating your own body is normal and implies mutilation is a solution.
This is emotional manipulation of children — not literature.
➤ Heroic “trans kid” who’s better at sports than the boys
➤ “Supportive” mom
➤ “Bigoted” dad
➤ Bullies everywhere
It’s the same script activists use to push kids toward gender confusion!
“My body felt like a traitor. I hated everything about it. I suddenly understood why some of the kids in the support group hurt themselves; they were trying to carve off the pieces that didn’t belong.”

1/4.ZK/Math Model (Scroll)
Strength: Instant finality via ZK-Proofs. Math guarantees correctness.
Flaw: Relies on a centralized seq. SPOF risks censorship, contradicting decent. ethos.
Verdict: Strong core security, but
sequencing is the main bottleneck for true decentralization.

Counterpoint: you ABSOLUTELY can control an airborne virus.
Seriously, who says this kind of nonsense? We literally have numerous ways to control airborne spread.

Shoutout to @CDare10 for flagging up this idiot’s post.
@CDare10 Hey @ClareCraigPath , how do scientists study airborne viruses if they are “uncontrollable “? For example, how is airborne decay measured if it’s impossible to control an aerosol?
Most sites link from important pages to unimportant pages.
Homepage → about page → privacy policy.
That's backwards.
Link equity should flow TO money pages, not away from them.
Client had 10,000 internal links.
95% were pointing the wrong direction.
Fixed it. Rankings jumped 40% in 6 weeks: 🧵👇

1/ How internal linking should work
Link equity = ranking power.
Every page has it.
Links pass it to other pages.
The rule:
Link FROM less important pages TO more important pages.
Not:
Homepage → Privacy Policy
But:
Product pages → Homepage
Blog posts → Product pages
Support docs → Product pages
Flow equity upward to money pages.

2/ The hub and spoke model
Create content hubs that feed main pages.
Example for "running shoes" category:
Hub (money page):
/running-shoes/
Spokes (supporting content):
- /blog/best-running-shoes-for-marathons/ → links to hub
- /blog/running-shoe-sizing-guide/ → links to hub
- /blog/running-shoe-care-tips/ → links to hub
- /blog/trail-vs-road-running-shoes/ → links to hub
10 spokes = 10 internal links pointing to your money page.
Client implemented for 20 categories.
All categories ranked page 1 within 8 weeks.

Canadians are generally content to assume an identity resting on the idea of being “not American”, but there is a material dialectic usually associated with times of economic precarity when the notion of joining the U.S. was ascendant:
…particularly in the late 1840s after Britain repealed Canadian tariffs, and in the 1860s leading up to Confederation, when the U.S. proposed annexation. Other periods include a strong annexationist movement in Quebec's Eastern Townships around 1850,
…and a lesser-known movement in Western Canada in the 1980s.
💥 Today we say “hello world” from OpenAI for Science.
We’re releasing a paper showing 13 examples of GPT-5 accelerating scientific research across math, physics, biology, and materials science. In 4 of these examples, GPT-5 helped find proofs of previously unsolved problems.
We’re releasing a paper showing 13 examples of GPT-5 accelerating scientific research across math, physics, biology, and materials science. In 4 of these examples, GPT-5 helped find proofs of previously unsolved problems.
Our aim is to be measured, yet optimistic. We show, with specific examples, what GPT-5 can and cannot do today, and give a clear path for how researchers can use it to accelerate scientific discovery while keeping standards high. We believe GPT-5 already provides substantial value for scientific researchers today, and will become an even more powerful tool tomorrow.
It’s not just about the proofs of unsolved problems. There are everyday examples of acceleration, like when GPT-5 can save hours by completing a tough calculation. It’s an incredible brainstorm partner for new ideas due to the sheer breadth of science it understands. And its literature search abilities are incredible—matching concepts across disciplines and languages.
🚨 Sam Altman’s Viral Confession 🚨

Amb. Mike Huckabee, together with David Milstein (Mark Levin's stepson), held an off-the-record meeting at US Embassy Jerusalem with Israeli spy/US traitor Jonathan Pollard, the NY Times reports.
Pollard confirmed "it was a friendly meeting" and trashed Trump as a "madman." 🧵
Pollard confirmed "it was a friendly meeting" and trashed Trump as a "madman." 🧵
"Mr. Pollard said he did not regret spying for Israel, claiming the United States had cut Israel out of intelligence sharing. And he castigated Mr. Trump, calling him a 'madman who has literally sold us down the drain, for Saudi gold,'" the Times reports.
Trump's DOJ allowed Pollard to "make Aliyah" in Israel after ending his strict parole conditions in 2020.
"After a review of Mr. Pollard's case, the US Parole Commission has found that there is no evidence to conclude that he is likely to violate the law," the Justice Department said.
He was then flown to Israel in 2021 on Zionist megadonor Sheldon Adelson's private plane and given a hero's welcome, with Netanyahu greeting him on the tarmac.
"Our greatest ally" rewarded Pollard with Israeli citizenship and a pension reserved for ex-Mossad and Shin Bet agents.
