I'm meh on these candidates. I wish Aftyn Behn had kept up her momentum and run again.

Has anyone asked or know what kind of business DC Blox will be supporting with this data center? Also, there need to be restrictions on their ability to get lower water/utility rates than residents.

The Republican president of the Utah State Senate lost his 2026 primary because of his support for "AI" Data Centers. UTAH. Democrats, i really really really need you to get this message and get it right now.

My pithy comment: the difference between the Democratic Socialists winning and the Tea Party winning is that the press gave favourable coverage to the Tea Party

Technically, they’re Remains now.

I had not been paying attention to the names involved in the Trousdale Turner/Core Civic issues, so I was surprised to see my very conservative roofing co. owner registering objections to the former Core Civic CEO considering a run for senate. I sure hope others like him are paying attention.

There may be some job as thankless as being the parent of a teen girl, but I sure don't know what it is.

Narcissists have a history with reflecting pools

lol at Rachel Hurley just doing what she does. "Data centers aren't going away" isn't a winning message even in D5.

That the CIA had nothing to do with it and Nixon tried to have them lie to the FBI and say they did is, like, the whole scandal. We literally have it on tape!

Welcome to the fiasco circus

friend of mine pointed out, you gotta admire his commitment to branding. A 250 foot gash for America 250!

Waking up to news from the UK

My mom’s Kirsten Gillibrand.

I haven't see a whole lot national coverage of this. This an epic disaster. And it affects millions of people who've already been through too much.

It’s the longest day of the year because of all the dad jokes

Honestly? Good to see them actually keeping people safe. That is, if what I read about there possibly being toxins in that algae (plus whatever they've dumped in there). I wouldn't touch it or even breathe near it.

nothing in the US is getting better until we start start treating this kind of thing as what it is: a form of bribery

You can tell who the John Oliver fans are today. Burnham!

Nice as it is outside, today is going to be an inside day. I've already pulled a hornworm off my most expensive tomato plant (it may recover) and a tick bite on my inner thigh is angry and painful.

It feels like Disney/ABC is just daring Turmp to battle them. Jon Karl pulling up chunks of paint from the reflecting pool (getting reposted everywhere) and Kimmel standing firm are brave. But it would be great to see them stand up for their female colleagues (and that they'd show unedited footage)

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

Almost everyone who ends up in a nursing home at end of life is using a Medicaid benefit, and even that doesn't kick in until you've spent down everything you have. At the state level, younger people need to start lobbying against filial responsibility laws now.

♥️

Lots of people chuckling, but all I can think of is the implication of the aftermath. I don't see any comparison to the treaty as having a desirable outcome in the next 20 years. Please tell me what I'm missing because I want to laugh, too

I wrote about ‘International Surrealism from Tate: Fifty Years of Dreams’ at the Frist for @nashvillescene.com

Shrek 2 (2004)

3 ph calls in less than 24 hrs from 3 different med providers that I've seen previously. No VMs. I suspect spoofing, but also really weird. As if someone accessed my records. The only link btw the 3 is TN Oncology.

One of the things that I think people don't understand about Netanyahu is that they think he is racist in some inscrutable or exotic Israeli way, when he is actually racist in the exact way you'd expect a guy who went to high school in the Philly suburbs in the late 1960s (as he did) to be

killing minorities in Memphis is necessary to protect national security, you see

The AI rollout is an incredible test case for the power of capital to overrule everything in its way. An overwhelmingly stupid, obscenely polluting, and wildly dangerous set of technologies are being brute-forced into every part of our lives because money says so.

😮

i have been obsessed with this for years. allowing manufacturers to sell direct to consumers would be good for consumers and also destroying the car dealership would be an existential crisis for republicans

More and more private equity firms are pouring money into data centers at a time when families are already seeing their electric bills go up and up. Americans deserve answers about how this could jack up their utility bills even more.

The Southern Environmental Law Center was notified that the facility had 46 turbines on May 6, with the number increasing to 57 on May 15.

I am getting a lot of questions about the angler in Massachusetts who "accidentally" caught a great white shark and then released it, resulting in lots of viral media coverage. Some quick thoughts here, in no particular order. wbsm.com/nantucket-fi... 🧪🌍🦑🦈

Your reminder that fairy tales are full of stepmothers because women once routinely died in childbirth, from postpartum sepsis, or from other infectious diseases and left behind housefuls of motherless children. Stable nuclear families are made possible by vaccines, antibiotics, and safe abortions.

The ɅɅitch (2025)

In addition to all the evil things he’s done over his career, this is the guy who is taking away your hemp-derived THC starting in November, and probably killing the US CBD market as a result. I hope to one day piss on his grave.

This feels like it’s deliberately trolling @dieworkwear.bsky.social.

GTFOOH an Israel tourism ad on my Netflix.

The idea that LLMs 'hallucinate' is itself a clever invention of the tech industry to disguise actual failures of their systems. Rebranding these serious algorithmic glitches as 'hallucinations' was designed to make the public accept this bullshit by linking it to the vagaries of human psychology.

The world’s first trillionaire took away our Ebola response capacity, gave us screwworms, hollowed out our government so he could pay less taxes, and condemned millions of the world’s most vulnerable people to death.

Scotland plays in the World Cup tonight, crank it up to a million

I'm so glad Hulu is showing Bonnaroo so I don't have to miss Wet Leg. But supremely bummed they're not showing Weird Al's set.

In my childhood in a leafy suburb of Memphis, my parents hired a tree crew exactly once: when our large tree fell on the neighbor's house. We had a lot of trees (elm and sweet gum). My adult life in Memphis: never had a tree crew on a property. Meanwhile, I have spent $1000s in 22 yrs here.

In Susannah Felts’ new novel ‘The Come Apart,’ the protagonist is at a crossroads: Is a career in music worth the heartache?

Tree and lawn crews both here, so I do not like this at all. Also, tired of rain.

People are like "oh so you're saying you want there to be no food huh" like my brother in Christ they're draining the Colorado River to grow alfalfa to feed to racehorses in Saudi Arabia youtu.be/owieQnPYfT8?...

All of Ireland & UK shaking their heads at the idea of ppl with the last names Mullin and Kilmeade don't know that the thugs in Belfast are not and do not want to be Irish. (They're British loyalists). Yes, after emigration, too many Murrican descendants decided to ignore troubles in the motherland.
