Here's some stuff I haven't seen in a while. How long has it been since I've seen a dial-up modem? #cleanup #retro

If you're worried about #AI data centers in #WestVirginia, it's worth watching the video to see what's already happening to citizens in Texas. PBS Terra investigated one of the world’s largest AI data centers, using thermal drone footage to reveal the hidden pollution powering the AI boom.

Facts not bullshit #Afghanistan

Some of these aren't dope cars, they're cars on dope. That Impala? That Honda trike? That abomination that calls itself a Karmann Ghia? Somebody took the brown acid, man.

This is an interesting question. If you could go on a road trip with any figure from history AFTER cars were invented (because, you know, road trip), who would you choose? My first thought: Frank Zappa. Definitely a great conversationalist. You? #roadtrips

Expect the price of your oil change to go up.

And farmers earn rent for those #solar panels

No matter how much people scream about how #solarpanels & wind turbines are a blight on the countryside, they pay farmers well — money that may be the difference between a successful farm and farmland being sold off for residential or commercial development. Or #datacenters! #renewableenergy

A Q+A with chef Keyarna Frederick, whose annual Juneteenth Farm-to-Table Dinner shines a spotlight on #WestVirginia ’s #Black #farmers. By Jennie Williams of the West Virginia Folklife Program oxfordamerican.org/oa-now/junet...

Trump says the quiet part out loud - again.

"Speaker Johnson sees nothing, which isn't surprising, given where he is." - Ann Telnaes anntelnaes.substack.com/p/speaker-jo...

Energy prices rose 3.8% in April. Airfares also rose 20.7%. Costs essential to everyday living also increased across the board: food prices increased by 3.8%, while energy services, which includes electricity and utilities, rose 5.4%. #inflation #ThanksTrump www.theguardian.com/business/202...

#WestVirginia ranks as the state where #gasprices hit the hardest, with a 15-gallon fill-up consuming 5.2% of median weekly household income. Mapped: The States Paying the Most for Gas Relative to Income www.visualcapitalist.com/mapped-state...

#WestVirginia can expect this. -- Homeowners in Fayette County, GA reported unusually low water pressure. The cause: a #datacenter campus 20 miles south of Atlanta had been drawing roughly 29 million gallons through two water connections the county didn't know existed.

Good news? One can hope. #ballroom

"...there’s a strong, clear negative correlation between Trump-leaning orientation and low #lifeexpectancy at the state level. Deep red states like Alabama and #WestVirginia have life expectancy comparable to, say, Kazakhstan." MAGA Will Kill Many Americans paulkrugman.substack.com/p/maga-will-...

They will until we stop them #womensrights

#Meta and #Microsoft are laying off humans so they can use more Fartificial Intelligence. Everyone will be pissed, but nobody will ditch Facebook or Windows over it.🤬 Microsoft and Meta announce large staff reductions as they spend big on #AI www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

AEP's CEO made $36.6 MILLION following a very specific mandate: "create sustainable shareholder value." But no interest in sustaining customers: AEP disconnected ratepayers ~210,000 times across #WestVirginia, VA, and OH. I love my #solarpanels www.columbusnavigator.com/aep-ceo-pay-...

Do us a favor and eat him!

Nothing like having a chemical leak on #EarthDay #WestVirginia

Definitely bottom shelf😎

If we're getting into religious iconography, this is much more appropriate. #Trump #Baal

"The World Quantum Day aims at engaging the general public in the understanding and discussion of Quantum Science and Technology..." Good luck with THAT when people have trouble understanding how vaccines work.🤣 #QuantumDay

It's not the clowns that are killing #WestVirginia, it's the county fair snacks we keep electing. Get out and vote so we can elevate from corn dogs to bratwurst! #elections appaleppchia.substack.com/p/our-politi...

“Rights, as important as they are, do not swing free and clear of the larger social Compact. We live in a society that accords its citizens enormous benefits. In return, states can, in a measured way, require certain exactions and accommodations to the broader social interest.” #WestVirginia

By Tuesday afternoon, more than 20 Democratic members of Congress had called for Trump’s cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment to the constitution to remove a president who is deemed unfit for office. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

While the U.S. keeps losing to a fourth rate country, #Ukraine keeps beating up a global superpower. Can we trade presidents? 'latest in a string of long-range strikes on Russia's most important oil terminals, as Kyiv looks to restrict the windfall gained by Russia from soaring world oil prices.'

A reminder that E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G he does is a distraction from the sex crimes he, if there is justice, will be imprisoned for. On November 3rd, 2026: #AccountabilityIsComing

You say you want a #datacenter? You're gonna have to wait. Analysts estimate 30%-50% of AI data centers planned for deployment in the US this year will be delayed or canceled. The main constraints are difficulty sourcing key electrical equipment and securing enough power to operate new facilities.

#maternitycaredesert About half of the 55 counties in #WestVirginia are “maternity care deserts,” compared with 32.6% in the US. 22%of WV women have no birthing hospital within 30 minutes, compared to 9.7% in the rest of the US. Via @westvirginiawatch.com westvirginiawatch.com/2026/04/06/d...

Jake Auchincloss, a Democratic representative and US Marine Corps veteran: “Iran recognizes that their control over the strait is even more strategically vital than the development of a nuclear weapon. Strategically, this war has been a failure” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... #Iranwar

🤦🤦🤦 The sales drive by Florida-based Powerus – which announced a deal last month to bring onboard Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr – positions the company to potentially benefit from a war that their father began. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I wouldn't doubt this happening for one second.😡

I thought Iran's military was obliterated. How did a fourth rate nation shoot down an American F-15?🤬 #IranWar www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Let's focus on something we ALL agree on: #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

A few photos from today's #NoKings rally at the state capitol in Charleston, #WestVirginia

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️ It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

"Google says it...invests in new energy sources through contracts that allow it to accelerate clean energy deployment without shifting costs to local customers." Has anyone told Google that WV GOP doesn't allow #cleanenergy in #WestVirginia?

Another reason to use a credit card and avoid handling paper money 🤬

In other news, Senate Republicans again shot down a bill to pay TSA workers. They want to tie these poor folks' pay to ICE funding.

#ConflictOfInterest #WestVirginia Hanshaw, a Republican, was key in steering to enactment a 2025 law deregulating data centers in the state. Craig Holman, a government ethics expert with the watchdog group Public Citizen, called the arrangement “an obvious conflict of interest.”

Remember, your hospital birth certificate is NOT the same as a certified birth certificate. You have to get that from your state's Vital Records office, and they charge you money for it.🤬 #SaveAct

"It is surprising that Trump is surprised." #IranWar ‘No clear goal’: lack of Iran war plan has unleashed chaos and could stymie US military for decades, say critics www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
