This and that for your Tuesday reading.
– Matthew Dowd discusses how opposition to data centre construction is a rare issue where U.S. voters are almost entirely in agreement rather than having been polarized based on partisan or demographic alignments.

– Meanwhile, Julianna Kowlessar argues that students are going to be best served learning to question artificial intelligence rather than relying on it.
– Paige Collings writes about the dangers of age-restricted internet access generally, while Michael Geist offers a Q&A about the particular problems with the Carney Libs’ version.
– Kelly Hayes writes about the U.S.’ heist state which has been designed to do nothing more than loot the country’s resources on behalf of Donald Trump and his cronies.
