(via Geef Tegengas) "Join our mass action against the Microsoft data center on November 6! 🔥 From Switzerland, Portugal, Poland, Denmark, Germany and Belgium, groups are uniting in Amsterdam because data centers (or in this case even hyperscale centers) are rising everywhere. Data centers use all our resources, they are used by Microsoft to support the genocide on Palestine, they let Al take over our jobs and brains, and it is all being decided behind closed doors. They're just a toy for the Tech Fascist millionaires to win the race of the biggest, fastest, richest and most genocide supporting. But we will NOT allow this! We are reclaiming our land, our cities, our right to have a say in our futures and to kick all Tech Fascists out! Join us together with thousands of others, and block these fascist black boxes. This weekend, everywhere in Europe there will be demonstrations and actions happening to stop new data centers. Digital infrastructure is used for oppression. Together we can take back the power of Big Tech. On November 6 we stand up against Microsoft. NOT IN AMSTERDAM, NOT ANYWHERE! Are you joining us?"

Climate supremacy and the spiritual battle over AI 🤖 (discussion with Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, Bill McKibben, and Naomi Klein) It’s a local battle, it’s incredibly material and tangible. It’s a cost of living battle because your electricity prices are going up. It’s a self-determination battle, it’s an indigenous rights battle. It’s all of that. What we’re finding is that it’s also a spiritual battle, about what we are here for, how we wanna live and what is the purpose of life.

Northern Territory water plan condemned as ‘blatant and shameless’ attack on nature "Move to scrap legal requirement to set aside water for environment is ‘extreme even for the NT CLP government’, green group says" "The Northern Territory government has been accused of making a “blatant and shameless” attack on nature by planning to delete a legal requirement that water must be allocated to the environment. In what has been described as the latest in a series of attacks on the environment by the NT’s Country Liberal party, the Finocchiaro government plans to change water rules that govern how much ground and surface water industry can take. It comes as the government plans a major expansion of fracking, datacentres and agricultural development." https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/nov/02/northern-territory-water-plan-condemned-as-blatant-and-shameless-attack-on-nature #EnvironmentalTerrorism #GovFail #News #Environment #ClimateChange #AI #DataCenters #DataCentres #HumanRights #AnimalRights #PlanetaryRights #NTPol

Day 2 of Hallucinate — Unbox — Restart: crafting our interpretation of a data centre. My group made a “decomposed data centre”, with scattered pieces of information and hardware. I dedicated a couple of minutes to write a little poem/riddle about it: Docker taught us to compose, the Silicon Valley to disrupt. Refusing those who impose, cables of oppression to be cut. . A data centre’s best form: decomposed, eviscerated, exploded. From block to swarm, storm. Mighty chaos subverting the coded. . No relations in databases, no order in disorders. To cooperative laces, to trespassing evil borders. @vecna@sociale.network’s group’s data centre is called “Distraction/Destruction”: the cloud is the d*i*straction, the data centre is the d*e*struction. #TencoTecnoTrip #Napoli #HallucinateUnboxRestart #dataCentres #dataCenters #data #winterSchool #GameOfTech

Hallucinate, Unbox, Restart – Winter School Programme 2026

The school proposes autoethnography as one mode of unboxing and to draw on art-based research: a chance to slowly inhabit the ephemeral nature of using, interacting with, fighting against, and making kin with, generative AI through sound-works, multimedia installations, performances, speculative design iterations and narrative provocations are a way to voice, spatialize and process our […]

International Port Strike on October 30 Against the Arms Trade and the War Economy - Left Voice

Dockworkers’ unions in several countries are calling for an international day of strikes and protests against the transport of weapons, rearmament, and the militarization of strategic infrastructure. The call has the support of the Palestinian labor movement and the Global Sumud Flotilla. In Italy, the initiative has expanded into a general strike.

#DataCenters #USA #US Data center developers are planning to build climate-warming power plants on a vast scale, according to a new report from writer Michael Thomas. Thomas writes that developers have announced plans to construct more than 100 gigawatts in off-grid gas-burning plants in the U.S., enough to power roughly 10 New York Cities. Natural gas is primarily composed of methane, a powerful climate pollutant https://yaleclimateconnections.org/newsletter/data-centers-plan-vast-polluting-build-out/ #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Many data centers are located where water resources are limited

One-quarter of the world's data centers are located in areas where water demand exceeds supply for at least one month each year, according to a new global analysis. Researchers reporting in Environmental Science & Technology mapped data center locations against available water resources and found that, under a future climate scenario, the proportion of facilities in water-stressed areas could rise to one-third.

"The demand for electrons on the U.S. power grid remained relatively flat for decades, increasing by a mere 5% between 2005 and 2023. Now that’s changed: Analysts at the consulting firm ICF forecast that U.S. residential electricity rates could rise another 15% to 40% over the next five years and double by 2050, with power grid traffic jams being a root problem." https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/10/america-is-hurtling-toward-a-power-grid-crisis/ #DataCenters

Electricity demand is skyrocketing, utility bills are spiking – but it could take years to build the new transmission lines that would address the problem.
