When the hell have you ever seen it called “pop” in any of the supermarket aisles?

It's the new highways through Black neighborhoods: Data centers

Jack Tripper @chadstanton.blacksky.app · 1d

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

Why Are Plans for This Alabama Data Center So Hush-Hush?

Officials in Bessemer, Alabama, are mum on Project Marvel, a proposed data center the size of 18 Walmart Supercenters.

I am encouraging all HBCU students to walk right pass these 🦝’s and to NOT engage.

Nothing you say will presented accurately w/ full context to their viewers b/c their views are very low IQ and are not looking for an intellectually honest debate.

There’s no point in talking to these people.

They're really on a mission to make you feel like you're responsible for climate change if you need meds to breathe. Tell you what, reduce some of the billionaires to not being billionaires to help greenhouse gasses & we'll keep staying alive with our inhalers.

The people who are most vulnerable to the hard-to-breathe air that comes with climate change may inadvertently be adding to the problem, new research finds. https://cnn.it/4pWQMoh

I also loved her little two step when an old song from her days came on.

The way she’d pour white rum on my head to stave off a cold

Even down to her scowl

I miss my Grams 😔

Sylphanne @sylphanne.bsky.social · 2d

I miss baking cakes and ham with her for Thanksgiving. We didn’t have a mixer so I had to stir the bowl until no lumps present.

Asking her for a recipe and one of the instructions was “to put in enough to make nice” 💀

Watching her cuss: strangers, parents, kids and dog could all get it

When she used to take me with her to Alexander’s and Woolworth on senior citizen discount days.

Waiting with her for medication at Kings County (IYKYK)

Finding out she could drive stick shift when she picked me and my cousin from camp. I had zero clue Grams knew how to drive at all.

all these data centers are going end up being used for surveillance, hence the locations where they’re being propped up.

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

Talk to the people you know in thy Illinois National Guard about what it means to refuse an illegal order. 👇 And how Trump will 100% throw them under the bus in a legal challenge.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 4d

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

This is what authoritarian governments want to do to everyone who defies them, even non-violently, especially YOUR authoritarian government.

The tearful televised apologies, the hiding of faces in shame, that's the gentlest reward polite deference has in store for you if you fail to kiss the boot.

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

I'm really worried about the gestapo full on moving to executions of people. I'm praying it doesn't escalate to that. I think people should reckon with what that would mean for all of us. I already have. Just please be safe, is what I ask.

To me, unassisted means no furniture, no walls, no people to help pull yourself up. You have to use your own body strength, but you can use your arms.
