Two months ago, this same activist went to a city council meeting to push for a roof-repair fund so taxpayers could fix her roof. A Democratic lawmaker was like...with what money? You blocked the data center.
Decline really is a choice sometimes.

This hero saved part of America's majestic beauty where me and my buddies go to huff rattle can paint and shoot rats. Hero.

“NO ONE READS”
Trailer is just two people having their AI agents text each other on breaks from short-form video binges from two different houses, never together.

They're gonna have to explain to moviegoers under 40 what bookstores were. And email. And romance.
A suggestion for Hollywood - instead of remaking good movies, could you consider remaking bad movies that had the potential to be good movies but were poorly executed at the time they were made?

This Maryland blocked data center story is interesting.
The land for the proposed $5B data center was empty, unused 90 acres that was a *mall 24 years ago* - right up against 495 - one of the busiest freeways in the region.
The county already has huge revenue problems - they just lost a Six Flags, they lost the Commanders to DC...
And the woman leading the fight against the Data Center is also asking local government to fund things like roof repairs on her father's house..
But they don't have enough money coming in... because they block things like data centers.

"Okay guys, we just won a huge Senate majority because a bunch of moderate voters in red states who are sick of Trump voted for us. What's our opening move on policy?"
"I know! Let Elizabeth Warren ban credit cards!"
Let’s cap credit card rates at 10%. Take action on affordable housing. Protect rural hospitals. End price gouging.
Democrats have the bills ready.
@SenWarren says now it’s up to Trump to work with us and get things done.

When you promote activism as an end in itself, you get absurd outcomes like this.
The shopping mall closed 24 years ago and was leveled. A data center developer offers to build but gets blocked—leaving the struggling community without jobs, a tax base and the ability to negotiate other concessions.
This NPR story compares it to the civil rights struggle and MLK.
Yes, data centers are the equivalent of the civil rights movement 🤦
My lord, we’ve lost the script, and China is laughing at us while they catch up and conceivably bear us to superintelligence.
Best advice: ask them to downsize the Data Center to half the space, require closed-loop water systems and have them build a giant trade school adjacent to the data center, offering free engineering and construction training to local community residents.

Thank goodness we kept that empty abandoned giant concrete pad rather than creating more jobs and generating more tax revenue.

He’s doing the stages of grief in reverse. He began with acceptance. Then bargaining in the Douthat interview. And is now back to stage 1 - denial.
I didn’t know this could be a thing.

On the flip side, voters are consistently offered relatively boring and normal options and insist on being given the choice between clowns.

It takes very little for someone who opposed Charlie Kirk to still recognize the horror of his murder. You don’t have to share his views to recognize the depravity of political assassination. It takes a particularly evil person to celebrate his murder or turn it into a punchline.
Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan plead with their supporters for financial support after more than 20 sponsors dropped them.
"If you want to sponsor us financially, you can become a member on YouTube... also go buy my book."
The women had a nearly 30-minute meltdown over Turning Point following backlash after the two hags giggled profusely at the thought of digging up Charlie Kirk and "doing it" again to him.

The other thing we could do is just ask voters, which we did, and they all said four or five things, with corruption at the top of the list, and affordability, and the economy overall, and yes, Iran. I’ve never seen people with such obvious agendas refuse to accept the multi-causal explanation that voters wrote on the chalkboard for them in huge letters

I love how their self assigned atonement was to contribute to a cause that Charlie Kirk vehemently opposed.
Their “apology“ is nothing more than business damage control. They are not sorry and their “joke” was completely in line with their well established values.
