Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

I am once again asking why these data centers are all fucking SECRETS "A controversial plan to build a 2.2-million-square-foot data center on farmland may still happen. A rural community... is looking to settle a lawsuit recently filed by a development firm working for an unidentified tech giant."

New blog post: #Cleveland #Museum of #Art 36th Annual #CMAChalkFestival - After the Rain sosassociates.com/blog/2025-10... Despite the fact that I missed seeing the pre-rain #ChalkFestival by just a few minutes, I still found the #artwork most enjoyable. The brief rainfall brought a “soft focus!”

@mskellymhayes.bsky.social I did the US tour already but this post says a bit about the book—and it’s so much about how we fight, how we hold on to hope. bsky.app/profile/bsch...

Hello #UK friends! I’m touring the book THE INTERMEDIARIES starting next week. It’s a deeply researched look at the way #LGBTQ and #women used science and rebel alliances to fight fascists—it offers up a reminder that we can fight back. Nazis are not inevitable—they just want you to think so.

Hell I remember when leftists cost us the Alamo

Unfortunately, the Patreon platform takes a relatively large chunk of revenue from me due to my set up for @peculiarbookclub.bsky.social (19.8%). Then the Apple app hit took about 20% too—and nobody can afford to lose 40%. I moved to Payhip.

Chinese, Italian, Swedish, frog's legs and a "succulent roast duckling" for good measure. Here's a President's Day restaurant guide from 1941. some cool stuff in here, particularly the international style places. #c20th 🗃️ 🍜 www.loc.gov/resource/sn8...

Is there good recent historical work on the Barbary pirates? I know Colley has written about narratives of enslavement, but is there anything by someone using non-European sources in a significant way? 🗃️

Look I get that it's not sexy that the Florida facility was closed via an environmental lawsuit but Al Capone got taken down by tax evasion. Not everything is sexy!

I’m sorry that I did not get a clearer shot of this. But it’s a real sign near Cleveland. And I just—am very curious about what demographic the ad is going for.

I'm not talking about US politicians I'm talking about normal people. I see people fighting back and organizing every fucking day. ICE hasn't met their recruitment goals. They haven't met their kidnapping goals. That's WHY they keep escalating.

on Twitter I once made a joke about getting a genius grant to study who has the best one dollar hot dog and the Foundation retweeted it and then DM'd me to say they thought my post was really very funny but just FYI the grant isn't for that kind of thing

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

We’re about zero days from major news outlets accidentally posting AI videos they think are real

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

Hi y’all I am on tumblr just saying www.tumblr.com/brandyschill...

OpenAI’s planned data centers will use more power than New York City & San Diego use at their peak consumption, combined. More power than the entire nations of Switzerland & Portugal combined. And San Altman’s buddies in this administration have been cutting all of our energy infrastructure upgrades

Come on now. Bring back Link.

What if we all just post the word Link over and over again repost it and like then until even the normies are bothered?

Medical and legal experts lay out a very clear case for why these are war crimes and genocide. I encourage everyone who cares to listen to this. revealnews.org/podcast/gaza...

Wow. That's just...do they not know about Chicago PD? How long their institutional memory is? How hard they hold on to grudges? I wouldn't want to be working for ICE and living in Chicago now at all. You may well end up at Homan Square.

Attention #Cleveland area folk. Do I know anyone willing to foster a girl kitty who has had it rough? Found behind McDonalds, missing tail, toes, one ear. We had her at a pet store that allows us to feature cats for adoption… but they complained about her looks :(

The photo of me at age five that gives away the ending—I was always going to be this.

Woooo #Cleveland! Cc @dbm23.bsky.social www.cleveland.com/entertainmen...

Time Line Cleanse

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

More and more non-terrible Jews are saying that Talia is correct

As more of my valued colleagues face the threat of redundancy, here’s a quick reminder that it takes years and years of public investment to train an academic. Cutting someone with this wealth of experience loose isn’t “saving” anything. It is a massive waste of our collective resources.

Why use "we live in the dumbest/stupidest times" when "we live in the most surreal/absurd times" is right there AND IS ACTUALLY ACCURATE

I am a historian & writer…and due to upbringing I can grow food, start a fire, do basic carpentry + have working and practical knowledge of how to field dress game, set a limb, perform minor surgery, and sew my own clothing.

Ok, who had death-cult-Nazi-AI-Trump-Vought-grim-reaper video on the 2025 bingo card?

The sitting president of the United States has shared a largely AI-generated music video on Truth Social that depicts Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought, an architect of the conservative Project 2025 plan, as the Grim Reaper. POSITIVELY. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

Hey!! So, you know how we were told Trump wouldn’t Project 2025 us? And those folks also said things like, well, if he did actually try to be a Nazi death cult fascist, we would stand and fight? THE TIME HAS COME youtu.be/ejorQVy3m8E

Um.
