The Dalles spent 13 months fighting to keep Google’s water use secret
— then records showed the data center campus consumed roughly a third of the Oregon city’s supply

i'm finna sneak into the fourth of july parade in the a.m., which has become sort of an annual tradition
in recent years i've been forced to walk alone, as the local politicos found my sign (DOWN WITH CARS on one side, UPZONE EVERYTHING on the other) off-key
new sign this year: POWER TO THE PEOPLE on one side, HANDS OFF CUBA & IRAN on the other. i'm guessing i'll be marching alone again #alas

Man standing in a doorway with a red front door and green brick facade, holding a handmade cardboard sign on a wooden stick that reads "#UPZONE EVERYTHING" in purple marker. He wears a white linen shirt, red pants, sunglasses, and a navy baseball cap, with a crossbody bag over one shoulder. Potted flowers and a wrought iron railing sit beside the brick steps.

In late 2022, Microsoft detected the hack of a water system in Guam
that U.S. intelligence agencies in the following months determined was orchestrated by China.
The idea wasn’t new.
The spy agencies had long watched as Iran targeted Israeli water systems.

“That another nation state was doing it to us
— that was unsettling,” recalled one former U.S. official,

Water systems are ripe for cyberattacks, experts warn after suspected Iranian hacks
As lawmakers call for protections after incidents in 12 states, an EPA rule that Republicans fought would “remove most of the low-hanging fruit,” a cybersecurity expert said.

dom: Animal dominance archive (2022)
Animal dominance interaction data published over a century of research. The archive contains 434 agonistic interaction datasets, totaling over 241,000 interactions. A directed edge (i,j) corresponds to an antagonist interaction between i (winner) and j (loser). If a 'weight' edge property map exists, it counts the number of such interactions.
This network has 15 nodes and 58 edges.
