Ohio’s state sales tax exemption for data centers cost $1.6 BILLION in 2025 — 11x more than its original estimate. That’s $1.6 billion that could have gone to public schools and healthcare instead of Big Tech CEOs’ pockets. Is it any wonder communities are organizing against data centers?

It’s worth noting that when Jan. 6 happened, the pro-Trump right used dozens of conspiracy theories to try and offload blame from themselves—e.g., claiming it was “antifa,” “feds.” Now, they seem keen to just admit they did it—all of it—and it was good.

pssst if you HATE that spotify has embraced garbage mode and you long desperately for a cornucopia of playlists (live & archived) made by humans of human-made music that comes bundled with a fab community of like-minded music-loving weirdos, you might want to give @wfmu.bsky.social a listen wfmu.org
