Erin Brockovich is back, and this time she's coming for the AI industry, calling out Big Tech's data center boom as the next great environmental shakedown of American communities. She launched a self-reporting map at https://t.co/ODEJlqLss3, and within a week over 1,600 residents had filed complaints spanning noise pollution, skyrocketing utility bills, and serious water depletion concerns. The pattern she's seeing looks awfully familiar: corporations dangle promises of jobs and tax revenue, municipalities wave projects through with minimal environmental review, and the people who actually live there get left holding the bag.
The water issue alone should be setting off alarm bells. Data centers gulp enormous amounts of water to keep their cooling systems running, and some are being planted directly above critical aquifers. As Brockovich put it plainly, "Wasting heat is wasting water. We can't afford either." The technology to capture and reuse that waste heat already exists, it's just not being required. That's a policy failure, not a tech failure.
A recent Gallup poll found that 7 in 10 Americans oppose data centers being built in their communities, with many saying they'd rather live near a nuclear plant. Brockovich's demand is straightforward: if Big Tech is going to drain public water supplies and jack up utility bills, the public deserves full transparency. "If you're using public resources, the public has a right to know how much. Sunlight is the best disinfectant."
Milly Alcock addresses the backlash she received after saying that “simply existing as a woman is something that people comment on. We have become very comfortable having this weird ownership of women’s bodies.”
“I didn’t even say ‘men’ — I said ‘people!’” Alcock says. “And they got so angry. I was like, ‘You’re proving my point. You’re proving my point!’”
“And [the backlash] is from a lot of people whose profiles have no photo, who are burner accounts. Or someone’s name and then ‘Dad of four, Christian,’ which is hilarious to me. But I mean, whose opinion do you really care about? If you’re pissing the right kind of people off, you’re doing OK.”

This is one of the most foul, dehumanizing things I've read in a long time.
You see a homeless woman — someone who has likely survived abuse, trauma, mental illness, or systemic failure — and your first thought is her body as a commodity?
You didn't ask: 'Does she need food? Shelter? Safety? Help?'
You asked: 'Does she know she can sell herself?'
That's not dark humor. That's predation dressed up as a 'joke.' People like you are exactly why so many homeless women stay invisible — because they know what men like you see when you look at them.
Shame on you. Genuinely.
I honestly haťe how ADHD has been sensationalized as the fun mental illness but having it literally feels like walking around with some very specific kind of dementia that is actively ruining your life at every step and the culprit is always you.
adhd ruins my life everyday it pisses me off when people talk about it like some quirky personality trait. do you understand how horrific it is to know you have to get something done and your brain is on red alert screaming at you to do it but you just physically cant
In Greek mythology, Cassandra was a Trojan princess and prophetess cursed by Apollo to have the "gift" of seeing the future, while he ensured that absolutely no one would believe her warnings. Today, "Cassandra syndrome" describes people whose valid warnings about impending disasters are ignored.
To all the Cassandras, I see you and I understand. 😭
People underestimate how much chronic illness can affect cognitive function.
Pain. Poor sleep. Autonomic dysfunction. Inflammation. Constant physiological stress.
All of it can impair attention, memory, processing speed, and executive functioning.
“Brain fog” sounds harmless until you actually live with it.
Saw a patient today with a hemoglobin of 1.9 g/dL. For context, a level that low is almost incompatible with normal consciousness, but she walked right into the clinic on her own feet.
For three long years, she lived with crushing weakness and since last 6 months breathlessness from just walking across a room. Why didn’t she get help sooner? At first, it was because the kids had crucial school exams and later her husband was reluctant to deal with the hassle of a hospital admission.
Her health was treated as a background inconvenience.
When we dug deeper, it got worse. A year ago, her Hb was 6.4 g/dL. A doctor explicitly told them she needed immediate admission. The family refused, walked out with a basic strip of iron tablets, she took them for two weeks, forgot about them, and nobody in the house ever bothered to check on her or remind her.
She didn't even come to the hospital today because of the air hunger. She came because her periods had completely stopped for months. Her body was so profoundly starved of iron and oxygen that it literally shut down her reproductive axis just to divert what little blood she had left to her heart and brain.
It’s completely heartbreaking. A woman will literally bleed her body dry, gasp for air for years and keep working silently, only to be brought to a doctor when her normal functioning stops.
Please check on the women in your homes. Stop letting them normalize chronic exhaustion.
🚨 WELL FUCK A DUCK… ANOTHER “INFLUENCER” CAUGHT WITH THOUSANDS OF CHILD ABUSE IMAGES
Callum Powell, 34, part of the massive parkour YouTube group Storror (over 11 million followers worldwide), has pleaded guilty to making 2,932 indecent images of children — including 178 Category A (the most serious).
He also admitted possessing images involving bestiality taking fuck a duck to a whole new level.
This bloke was out there doing rooftop jumps, dangerous stunts, and working on big film projects (including stuff linked to Netflix and Ryan Reynolds) while allegedly hoarding thousands of sick images of kids.
Brighton Magistrates’ Court heard it all. He’s been released on conditional bail until sentencing in July.
Storror have kicked him out and called it a “betrayal”. Parkour UK condemned it.
Yeah, no shit.
How many “cool” influencers and content creators are hiding this same disgusting secret? Trust no one around kids.
Name him. Share his face. Warn every parent whose kids watch parkour videos.
Protect our children from these monsters in plain sight.
No mercy.
2) 📌However, unlike for Ebola-zaire strains, there are currently no approved Bundibugyo virus-specific therapeutics or vaccines. As such, this event is considered extraordinary.
📌The event constitutes a public health risk to other States Parties through the international spread of disease. International spread has already been documented, with two confirmed cases reported in Kampala, Uganda on 15 and 16 May following travel from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Both confirmed cases were admitted to intensive care units in Kampala. Neighboring countries sharing land borders with the Democratic Republic of the Congo are considered at high risk for further spread due to population mobility, trade and travel linkages, and ongoing epidemiological uncertainty.
📌The event requires international coordination and cooperation to understand the extent of the outbreak, to coordinate surveillance, prevention and response efforts, to scale up and strengthen operations and ensure ability to implement control measures.The Director-General of WHO, under the provisions of the IHR, will be convening an Emergency Committee, as soon as possible to advise, inter alia, on the proposed temporary recommendation for States Parties to respond to the event.
@dieworkwear @YongHyu71707411 Americans would absolutely do those jobs, for legal fair pay. They arent even listed b/c of exploitation. That needs to change. People turn a blind eye because they believe we would have to pay unaffordable prices at the store & that's propaganda.
@darafaye@YourAnonOne Idk its almost like because of how absolutely psychotic everyone was last time, including the administrations, they're just expecting & okay with people that arent paying extreme attention to be left in the dark & wing it.
