The Chicago White Sox are now 38-32 and leading the AL Central

They just won 2/3 against the Dodgers and 4/5 on the homestand including 2 vs the Braves.

4-1 against the 2 best teams in MLB.

All while their leading OPS player Munetaka Murakami is on the IL

Sox are legit

Falls Lake right now… completely cracked and bone dry. 😱
This is what drought looks like in NC while residents are restricted to watering lawns or washing cars just 2 days a week.
Yet massive data centers keep guzzling millions of gallons daily, and many are rushing into drought zones. The question is why?

Coincidence? I think not.

And they were spraying heavily right before this drought hit..

We currently have clear blue skies every day… and dead silence for months. No planes. No helicopters. No zig-zag lines lingering for hours. 🔕

My daughter noticed the trails disappeared first. Now even the regular flights are gone.
Very, very odd. 🤔

Pond to mud. Falls Lake is cracked and dry. Data centers are still drinking billions while we conserve. Heavy spraying right before the drought… then total silence overhead.

In my experience, there are no such things as coincidences.

Control the weather → control the water → control the food → control the people.

Just asking questions. 😑

The response to #SaveStargate has been incredible.

Fans, cast, crew, creators and people connected to the franchise are all making it clear that Stargate still matters.

Seeing support from @BaronDestructo, @MartinGero and so many passionate fans gives me hope that this story isn’t finished yet.

As both a lifelong Stargate fan and a professional actor, I’d be honoured to be part of the journey WHEN Stargate returns to our screens.

Until then, let’s keep making some noise.

The gate is still open. Let’s see what’s out there!!

This aired on CNN — Laura Coates Live. And it is the most powerful single television appearance in the entire data center fight.
Consumer advocate and environmentalist Erin Brockovich joined the fight against AI data centers as communities nationwide raise concerns about secrecy, environmental damage, and quality of life. Brockovich tells Laura Coates that “the size of these places is unbelievable” and says the rapid expansion of the projects across the country is “shocking.” 
The size is unbelievable. The expansion is shocking.
Those are not words from an abstract policy debate. Those are words from the woman who drove to Hinkley, California and looked at what a corporation was doing to a community and decided she was going to do something about it. Who spent years being told she was wrong. Who helped win a $333 million settlement that changed American corporate accountability forever.
She looked at AI data centers — the size of them, the speed of them, the secrecy of them — and said: it is unbelievable. It is shocking.
And then she built a map. And 6,615 Americans filled it with their stories in 30 days.
Here is what Erin Brockovich said on CNN that every American needs to hear:
She called the secrecy surrounding data center approvals the most troubling part of the entire phenomenon. Not the water. Not the electricity. The secrecy. The fact that communities find out after the deal is done. After the NDA is signed. After the permit is approved.
After the bulldozers are already warming up.
She has seen this before. She knows what it looks like when an industry moves fast and in secret and counts on communities not finding out until it is too late.
She is not going to let it happen again.
And this week — with 71% of Americans opposed, with working class communities fighting at five times the rate of wealthy ones, with Kentucky voting out data center supporters, with Blue Island packing a council chamber tonight, with Nashville Zoo’s legal challenge filed today and 332,000 signatures still climbing —

You have noticed it. ChatGPT feels dumber than it used to. Your prompts that worked six months ago produce worse results now. The writing sounds flatter. The ideas sound safer. The internet itself feels like it is shrinking. Every article reads the same. Every email sounds the same. Every answer sounds like it was written by the same voice.

You thought it was you. It is not you.

Researchers at Oxford and Cambridge published a paper in Nature proving what is happening. They call it Model Collapse.

Here is the mechanism in one sentence. AI trained on AI-generated data gets dumber every generation until it forgets what real human data looked like.

The internet is filling with AI-generated content. Blog posts. Articles. Reviews. Comments. Social media. AI companies scrape the internet to train the next generation of models. Which means the next generation of AI is being trained on the output of the current generation.

Each cycle loses information. Not randomly. It loses the rarest, most unusual, most creative parts first. The researchers call these the "tails of the distribution." The weird ideas. The unexpected perspectives. The things that made the internet feel human. Those disappear first.

What remains is the average. The safe. The expected. The bland.

Then the next generation trains on that. And loses more. And the next generation trains on that. And loses more. The researchers proved this is not a slow decline. Major degradation happens within just a few iterations. Even when some of the original human data is preserved.

They tested it on large language models. On image generators. On statistical models. The pattern was the same every time. The output converges toward a narrow, flattened version of reality that looks nothing like the original data.

The lead researcher put it plainly. "Large language models are like fire. A useful tool. But one that pollutes the environment."

The pollution is invisible. You cannot see which sentence on the internet was written by a human and which was written by AI. Neither can the AI that is about to train on it. And once the tails are gone, they do not come back. The damage is irreversible.

This is not a prediction anymore. It is a diagnosis.

The internet you grew up on was built by humans writing things no algorithm would have written. Strange, personal, imperfect, alive. That internet is being diluted. One generation of AI at a time. And the models trained on what remains are learning a smaller and smaller version of the world.

Model Collapse is not a technical problem. It is a cultural one. The thing that made the internet worth reading is the thing that disappears first.

I think a lot of people are exhausted because it feels like every beautiful or useful thing eventually gets monetised, privatised, extracted, or bulldozed.

Tonight is the first time in nearly 5 years that the White Sox are in first place in the AL Central. It’s hard to believe.

Feels even more satisfying knowing we sat through a 121 loss season to get to this point.

BREAKING: We're suing the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service over their plan to give away 715 acres of a public wildlife refuge to billionaire corporation Space X.

We shouldn't be sacrificing our cherished public lands to subsidize a company owned by the richest man in the world.

[Nullspeed @Nullspeed1987]

I'm genuinely surprised at the Stargate fandom. I've looked at quite a few posts of them. And the intellectual and ideological diversity is astounding.
And the craziest part is seeing them almost all agree on one thing and that's saving Stargate.

These are people that just a few weeks ago would be calling each other names and insults back and forth. Yet Stargate seems to be this weird but awesome thread they mostly all follow. It's heartwarming in a way.

A new proposal by a business trade group is causing Ohio farmers to fear that the state and utility companies could take private property to build data centers. This idea would also allow entities to take the land before the owner gets paid. https://t.co/jNv02410vh

🔥 NEW - Stargate SG-1's @MichaelShanks Calls for Fans to Pound Amazon's Social Media!

Following news that Amazon won't be moving forward with a New #Stargate series, the actor who played Daniel Jackson has called on fans to make noise online!

#SaveStargate

[Joseph Mallozzi 🏴‍☠️ @BaronDestructo]

Sadly, it's true. Amazon has elected not to move forward with the new Stargate series.

There's not much I can add beyond confirming what's happened. But I will say this...

Creator Martin Gero developed a new Stargate series over two years, ultimately crafting a show that offered a fresh jumping-on point for new viewers while deeply respecting existing canon. It was a series that avoided the pitfalls of several modern remakes and reboots by fully embracing the core of its predecessors: action, adventure, exploration, wonder, heart, humor, and found family. And based on that creative vision, the new Stargate series was greenlit in November of 2025.

As of today, officially, that original vision is no more. We'll never get the opportunity to introduce you to that world and those characters - or reintroduce you to, and check in with, some familiar faces from the past.

My heart breaks. For the incredibly talented writers who worked tirelessly to bring this show to life. For Martin who maintained an unwavering positive outlook throughout despite the challenges, and who always strove to make a show that would honor the fans while welcoming a new audiences. And for the long-suffering Stargate fandom who waited so long and came so close to getting a show they truly would have loved.

[Michael Shanks @MichaelShanks]

🙋‍♂️I also dispute their claim

[Variety @Variety]

EXCLUSIVE: The new "Stargate" TV series has been axed at Amazon.

The show was first announced with a series order in November 2025 and hailed from showrunner Martin Gero, who was a writer on "Stargate SG-1" and "Stargate: Atlantis." Sources say Amazon execs were concerned that Gero's take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise's already dedicated fanbase.
