Data centers have contaminated ground water in Oregon.

They've released smog into the air in Memphis.

And they've contributed to electricity bill spikes — all while receiving millions of dollars in tax breaks.

Is it any wonder why a nationwide backlash against AI data centers is brewing?

I really just hate the way Trump and his goons insert themselves into literally everything. I don't personally care who is or isn't in the pro football HOF, but I'm so sick of Trump using the office of the president to try to get organizations to do shit that have nothing to do with government.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

If Sabrina carpenter did something. You leave her alone; I don’t care what she said. She is perfect

The only reason we aren’t seeing even more EV sales in the US is because people can’t afford to buy cars right now and they got rid of the tax credit. If by some miracle the economy rebounds, people are definitely going to remember this when making their next car purchase.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Someone started putting “I did that” Trump stickers up at this gas station. Looks like a Bama chud tried to scratch it off though

Exactly 💯

Alabama has banned all books with words in them.

I always say something along these lines when they ask me to leave a review. I know it won’t do anything but maybe I make someone over there uncomfortable at least

I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😍

Ok so there’s this pedophile with a cult following who thinks he’s Jesus and he lives on a compound surrounded by armed security and he wants to usher in the apocalypse via holy war. It’s like America killed David Koresh and then he came back as president

I'm actually sick of the gaslighting.

What's happening is that consolidation of wealth at the top is escalating (that's why we have more billionaires and millionaires than before), which means the people at the bottom are being SQUEEZED HARDER

So, yes. The "economy is great," b/c THAT'S CAPITALISM

Doctors dress like Jesus now.

Pulling out Rosary beads and a bible like John Wick when he went into the basement for all his gear

All lapsed Catholics are activating like sleeper agents

once you reach a certain threshold in this country you can only become more wealthy no matter how bad you are at life and business, you can even waste billions and billions on the metaverse and remain wealthy and powerful it doesnt matter

Imagine still riding for liberalism in the big two six. Even rats know when to abandon a sinking ship

Tho it may seem primitive & unscientific, thru the fairies we could ask Mothra for help

You tell that son of a bitch, no Yankee is ever crossing the Strait of Hormuz! Not as long as you bastards are running things!

I think the opposition party widely expected to make historic gains in the next election(s) has an obligation to explain how they'll stop this and prevent it from happening again or it's reasonable to conclude they don't plan on doing those things, which raises more uncomfortable questions

It’s cool that I get an email from the Department of Education saying that they’re forcing student loans back onto everyone…on the eve of us announcing that we’re going boots on the ground in Iran now I get to worry about paying more money that I don’t have 🥳

Basically what’s happening in the US too but we’re hamstrung by only having 2 parties

I long for the days of paycheck to paycheck. I'm day to day currently

Just got an ad for stock trading company called BluSky and was incredibly confused the entire time thinking it was about this website. I wish I could find the ad to post it

such a classic scene

questionnaire filled out with childish handwriting 8. I worry about ... My cat 9. I am happy when... I see my cat 10. I am sad when... I don't see my cat 11. my responsibility is... my cat

*nodding*

You’re way more read up on things than I am (I’m working my way through your reading list) so I will take your word for it and keep reading. I know we won’t be “allowed” to have a revolution but I don’t see AOC going after DSA like the admin is currently
