As I said to @patrickbetdavid, and I as I have said to everyone who asks me if I’d like to one day interview Trump and what I’d ask him if he ever (lol) agreed, it would last like two mins tops.
The guy is a snowflake. He’d walk out, I always say. And here he is walking out:
The Nashville Zoo has launched a public campaign to block construction of a proposed 69,000-square-foot AI data center that would sit directly adjacent to habitats for endangered animals, including vulnerable clouded leopards.
Zoo officials warn that the facility’s constant noise, bright artificial lighting, and electrical hum could seriously disrupt animal behavior, stress levels, and long-established breeding programs. The zoo is home to more than 3,700 animals representing over 350 species and maintains one of the most important collections of rare and endangered wildlife in the United States.
This conflict highlights a growing backlash against the rapid expansion of data centers driven by the AI boom. These facilities require massive amounts of electricity and operate 24 hours a day, prompting communities nationwide to raise concerns about energy consumption, water use, noise pollution, and environmental impacts. Wildlife conservation groups are now joining the resistance.
More than 180,000 people have already signed a petition opposing the project.
The developer behind the data center states that it will use waterless cooling systems, meet all local noise regulations, and comply with environmental standards. However, zoo leaders argue that the location itself, immediately next to sensitive animal habitats, makes the project unacceptable regardless of technical mitigations.
The dispute underscores a broader challenge of the AI era: how to build the vast digital infrastructure needed for artificial intelligence without placing undue pressure on local communities, ecosystems, and wildlife.
WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged
"You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her."
"I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads.
Again, he gets graded on a curve. Dude is losing his shit because a reporter pushes back a bit on his lies, and he loses his temper, insults her, and walks out of the interview. And yet, he keeps being presented as a sane and normal person.
A couple of skate punks showing more spine than 96% of the chest thumping “MAGA patriots.”
When regular people start doing this, we don’t just reclaim our privacy... we reclaim the country.
HOLY CRAP 🚨

This week, my amendment to ban billionaire-funded super PACs received unanimous support from my Democratic colleagues.
The momentum is growing. It’s time to repeal Citizens United, ban super PACs and move to the public funding of elections NOW.
Buying a house is like: “We have no way of knowing you can handle a mortgage.”
Me: I’ve been paying my landlord twice that amount every month.
“So why can’t you save enough to prove it?”
Me: Because I’ve already been paying twice that amount every month.
Israel dropped a bomb on Mona’s home in Mansouri, South Lebanon, today.
Mona is not a fighter.
She is an environmental activist who dedicated her life to protecting endangered sea turtles.
Because of Israel, Mona is now fighting for her life in a hospital bed.
