Larry Correia brought up something my daughter told me

'Anybody else find it funny that after decades of regular people getting screamed at by environmentalists about how we shouldn't drive cars, eat meat, or have air conditioning in order to SAVE THE PLANET all of a sudden those same bossy assholes are strangely supportive of some megacorporations building a bunch of AI data centers, each of which sucks up the power equivalent to a small country?
Weird how that shakes out.'  from Correia.

What daughter once told me:
Ever heard of 'Captain Planet'?  Supposed Savior of Mother Gaia, with a bunch of kids who helped him smash company owners and factories and whatever else.  Shit cartoon, it was pure indoctrination("We can't just make more efficient air conditioning, we need to get rid of it!")

I'd worked a late shift and was getting some sleep, she was watching tv and that thing came on.  She said I came stumbling out of the bedroom, with my eyes closed, changed channels, and went back to bed.

I have no memory of this, but I was glad I gave up a minutes precious sleep to turn that crap off.
