And here it is again. Graduation at Columbus, Ohio high school ends in massive brawl.
What was supposed to be a celebration for graduates turned chaotic on Thursday when several large fights broke out at the Greater Columbus Convention Center during graduation events. Some of the violence spilled outside onto High and Vine streets.

In the next 15 years, data centers are expected to add an additional $160 billion to grid costs in the US
Estimate say electricity rates for average households will spike by as much as 70%
Data centers are projected to triple their share of US electricity demand in the next few years
The main driver is the explosive growth of data centers built by Big Tech companies like Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Google, OpenAI and more to power artificial intelligence
Places like Northern Virginia already has over 200 data centers with massive new ones planned.
Utilities are striking secret proprietary deals with Big Tech companies. These are hidden behind NDAs that shift much of the infrastructure costs onto regular residential customers
Just in the PJM energy market of 13 states covering 65 million people, data centers were responsible for 63% of last year’s record 800% spike in capacity prices (This is INSANE)
Residential customers in places like Virginia and Louisiana are being forced to subsidize billions in new power plants and grid upgrades for data centers.
An Examples of this is in Louisiana, Meta’s data center deal leaves the public potentially on the hook for half or more of a $3–4 billion power plant
Again, without major policy changes, average household electricity bills could rise by up to 70% over the next 15 years due to data center demand.
There is only one real way we can stop this, we must create a separate customer class for data centers
Maryland and Oregon have already passed laws doing this
Forces data centers to pay for the specific infrastructure they need instead of spreading the costs to everyone else. More states need to do the same
Ban secret sweetheart deals
Require full public disclosure of all contracts between utilities and Big Tech
Prohibit deals where data centers pay below the actual cost of service
Make data centers pay the full cost of new power plants and grid upgrades
Change regulations so utilities cannot socialize the cost of data-center-driven infrastructure to residential and small business ratepayers
This needs to be done immediately

One of the funny things I keep noticing in trials for blood pressure medications is that placebo groups frequently report more side effects.
I suspect this happens because the treatment group ends up less anxious when their blood pressure is controlled.
Here's an example:

Maybe Claude's usage consumption was just a release-day phenomenon.
It seems to not be destructively inefficient anymore.

Inflation is increasingly outpacing American incomes:
Real disposable income fell -1.1% YoY in April, the biggest decline since October 2022.
On an annualized MoM basis, this metric dropped -5.6%, the biggest decline since May 2025.
Furthermore, real personal income excluding government transfer payments fell -0.4%, the 4th monthly decline in 5 months.
This metric captures after-tax income from labor and capital sources while excluding government support such as Social Security and unemployment benefits.
Over the last 6 months, real personal income excluding transfer payments has declined by an annualized -1.8%, the largest drop since 2022.
Historically, such weakness has rarely occurred outside of a recession or an economic slowdown.
Inflation is eroding the purchasing power of most Americans.

Most big companies are sticking with the quieter approach from last year.
Fewer rainbow logos , splashy campaigns, and big sponsorships.
It’s all amid consumer backlash, post-election shifts, and DEI pushback.
I think what really broke the camel’s back is kid safety.
People just don’t want brands funding “kids at Pride” parades and drag shows.
That was the LGBTQ+ movement’s biggest mistake.
