Utah 🇺🇸

A plan to create one of the world’s largest AI datacenters (40,000 acres), a gargantuan project spanning an area more than twice the size of Manhattan, has provoked a huge public backlash in Utah, amid concerns over its vast energy use and impact upon the state’s already stressed water supply.

The facility will require about 9GW of power, which is more than the entire state of Utah currently consumes, and suck up a massive amount of water in an area that has been hit by severe drought in recent years.

The network of industrial fans required to cool the data center will result in so much waste heat that it could raise daytime temperatures in the surrounding Hansel valley by 1.1C to 2.7C and night-time temperatures 4.4C to 6.6C, according to an analysis at Utah State University.

Yet another example of profits over people. Net zero for us, but the exact opposite for the tech corporations.

The world’s primary forests are more than just trees. They are elders of the Earth, older than any human story, sheltering species we have yet to see, breathing life into the world around us.

Protect the irreplaceable.

Albanians are fighting harder against their land being stolen to build Epstein Island 2 than Americans ever fought against our CEOs, politicians, and presidents being in the Epstein files and raping children.

What Albanians are doing is extraordinary. Time for us to do the same!

BAM! Colombia has announced a historic ban on all new oil and large-scale mining projects in its part of the Amazon Rainforest, protecting an area roughly the size of Sweden. 🌿

Experts say the move could help protect one of the planet’s most important ecosystems—often called the “lungs of the Earth.” 🌎🌳

Nature is amazing. Protect it.

إيرلندا تعلن رسميا، على لسان رئيستها، أن إسرائيل دولة إرهابية، في وقت لا يزال فيه كثيرون في عالمنا العربي يروجون لصورتها كدولة صديقة ومسالمة وموثوق بها، ويدعون إلى التطبيع معها وتجاوز ما ترتكبه من انتهاكات بحق الشعب الفلسطيني.

More than 200 people have now been killed in U.S. military strikes on boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific. Human rights groups have condemned the attacks as extrajudicial killings.

THE AI SCAM IS COLLAPSING AND THEY'RE PANICKING 🔥

🤬🖥️ Jimmy Dore and Garland Nixon break down how the AI math isn't mathin'.

Data centers are bankrupting their own customers. Here's why:

Cloud AI = Corporate AI. Rent your brain back at 1000x markup. Tokens add up fast — faster than employee salaries. Scale up? The bill eats you alive.

Local AI = Independent AI. A $250 Nvidia card in your closet runs offline storage and private apps cheaper and better. No subscriptions. No surveillance. No scam.

But that doesn't make oligarchs trillions, does it?

Surprise — it's another wealth transfer. Trillions to a handful of companies who can't deliver what they sold us.

THE LIE:

For two years: "AI will slash payroll! Replace workers! Unleash productivity!"

Wall Street ate it up. Stocks pumped. Workers got canned. Execs cashed out.

THE REALITY:

Every. Query. Costs. Money.

Code reviews. "Helpful" suggestions. Background agents.

Multiply across thousands of employees making millions of requests.

The bill looks less like software and more like a ransom note.

THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW:

Cloud = handing your clients, secrets, and liabilities to a server farm that data-mines and resells everything.

Why would any business want that?

Because they rigged the game. Locked the infrastructure. Same five companies own every exit.

THE DATA CENTERS AREN'T FOR "BETTER AI."

They're for SURVEILLANCE.

Every prompt logged. Every conversation analyzed. You — legible, trackable, replaceable.

THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY:

They spent decades saying labor was "the problem."

Now compute is the problem.

More AI adoption = more tokens burned = bigger bills = harder to justify the layoffs.

That's not disruption. That's a bait-and-switch.

WHO PAYS? WHO PROFITS?

Workers lose jobs. Communities crumble. Investors lose.

The executives who sold this fairy tale? Already cashed out.

We've seen this movie:

🏠 Housing bubble — "Everyone gets rich!"
🌐 Globalization — "Endless prosperity!"
💰 Zero rates — "Permanent growth!"
💣 Neo-liberal order — "Peace through hegemony!"
Now: 🤖 AI — "It'll solve everything!"
Same scam. Different logo.
THE QUESTION THEY CAN'T ANSWER:

If AI is cheaper than humans...

WHY IS EVERY COMPANY PANICKING ABOUT AI COSTS?

Why throttle usage? Why "unlimited" plans getting limits? Why hire "AI efficiency consultants" after firing half the staff?

BECAUSE THE MATH DOESN'T MATH.

THE OFFLINE REBELLION:

While they build billion-dollar surveillance palaces, the real solution sits on a shelf:

$250 machine

Private storage

Your data stays YOURS

No subscription. No surveillance.
Independent computing = independent people.
And independent people are harder to milk.

FINAL THOUGHT:
When your "cost-saving technology" generates bills rivaling the payroll it replaced...

That's not a revolution. That's a warning sign.

The bubble is leaking. The execs are exiting. You're holding the bag.

Again.

Israel tied up children and babies, KILLED them, then buried them in mass graves.

A French aid worker: “We found a mass grave in Gaza containing 300 bodies. Small children were killed with their hands tied behind their backs

EuroMedHR: Inside the mass graves, they found children & babies with their hands bound with zip ties

This photo is from 2 mass graves discovered at Nasser Hospital, southern Gaza, in April During the genocide, the EuroMedHR documented over 130 mass graves of victims of the Israeli genocide

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

Erin Brockovich has launched a website and has begun tracking all data centers in America and logging resident complaints

In just 1 week it’s already logged 1,690 resident complaints

For this who don’t remember

Erin Brockovich was the paralegal responsible for winning out a case against PG&E, Hinckley in California, because their wastewater runoff was seeping into rural areas and creating a lot of health issues for, for the surrounding neighborhoods

That case brought in a $333 million settlement that went to the families affected by the situation because a lot of them either had staggering medical bills due to their tap water was no longer safe

So why is this important, well residents all over America are reporting their tap water and river water is being heavily polluted by data centers

Her map of data centers is new, she just launched it

The website features an interactive US map showing operational, under-construction, and proposed AI data centers, overlaid with community-reported complaints

Residents can submit reports with details, photos, and locations. Within days of launch, it received a surge of submissions over 1,600 in the first week, and reports of 1,800+ from 47 states shortly after

Common Resident Complaints Being Logged

- Water usage
- Raising utility bills for residents
- Noise pollution: Constant 24/7 humming from fans, generators, and cooling systems disrupting sleep, daily life, and wildlife.
- E-waste from frequent hardware upgrades, pollution including PFAS concerns

China, like Mexico & Russia, is defying the deadly blockade threatening the lives of 10 million Cubans.
The world has condemned the US embargo of Cuba 33 times in near unanimous votes.
The US shames itself & turns its "adversaries" into heroes for all the world to see.
