“If you were a parent (like me) then you’d understand why I sabotage my child’s life (out of fear.)

Yes. Fuck the techno fascists!
Michigan communities are pushing back on massive data-center projects, citing huge energy use, water strain, and few permanent jobs. From Saline Township to Kalkaska, local resistance is growing as residents question whether the trade-offs are worth it.

Commentary from Rick Haglund

Thanks for the update
Lands extra hard when you know the indigenous American voice actor who played John Redcorn, Jonathan Joss, was murdered in a hate-crime this year.
