Hungry, Hungry Hippos (first published in 1978) was designed by Fred Kroll, along with Masatoshi Todokoro (about whom I can't find any details). Kroll, who died in 2003 at age 82, also designed the game Trouble. He had a fascinating life: groups.google.com/g/alt.obitโฆ
Patrick Cicero, former state consumer advocate, just called data centers "hungry hungry hippos" whose desire for electricity cannot he satiated.

PA Senate just passed SB 1150 (@SenatorStefano) to strengthen the Sunshine Act (our open meetings law) in response to a (terrible) court decision. SB 1150 is an excellent bill & will ensure that the public can meaningfully participate in public meetings. palegis.us/legislation/billsโฆ

We have a $6B structural deficit. Some of the money thatโs included in PAโs budget this year just doesnโt exist. Itโs fantasy spending. ๐ฆ๐งโโ๏ธโจ
@PASenateGOP & I will continue to negotiate a fiscally responsible budget, just as we have for the past 3 years.

Bradford then claims the state has a $1 billion surplus. That's not true. The state just has $1 billion in revenue more than projections. But spending still outstrips revenue by several billion dollar.

Today, June 5th, marks the beginning of full enforcement of my legislation, Paul Millerโs Law!
Named in memory of Paul Miller, who was tragically killed by a distracted driver, the law is a reminder that no text, notification, email, or social media post is worth risking a life.
