Complicated mix of nerd, hard rock, fashionista, cartoons, kink, gaming, drama queen, gender identity, ditziness, sports, hopeless romantic and total dork.

I'm still gonna be here, but you can also find me in the other place. Work in progress. ^^;

NEW: Private equity is taking over bowling and pricing everyone out.

Bowling alleys aren't just disappearing, they're being bought up — and one corporation now controls 35% of the revenue for the entire sport.

We uncovered how Wall Street greed is ruining yet another pastime.

The noise from a plant powering Elon Musk's xAI data centers in Mississippi is keeping residents awake and destroying their quality of life.

Residents of Southaven, MS, have organized, gone to hearings, and talked to media.

But so far the mayor's advice is: "Consider selling."

NEW: Billionaires hide in plain sight in America’s richest county.

But the workers who keep the town running can no longer afford to live there. Half commute an hour through a canyon just to get to work.

Jackson Hole tells the story of wealth inequality playing out everywhere.

Physical is actually a much bigger deal in the anime world. The Blu-ray version is often actually a better-quality show with new animation that never gets streamed. Also, a lot of anime will never stream again and unless you buy the discs you won't have legal access again.

I said this about AI well over a year ago. Using it to diagnose and fire people with medical conditions so they lose their insurance AND their income is somehow even more heartless and evil than I’d predicted.

Dua Lipa speaks out about the Albania protests: "I find it so inspiring to see how much people really care. You know, day after day they're hitting the streets, because the government has opened up this part of a beautiful nature reserve to a high-end beachfront development. And of course, this has been a huge story internationally because the company that's invested in the project is part-owned by Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. But what I actually find concerning is the principle that the government could just change the law to remove the environmental protection without any kind of public consultation."

NEW: Florida’s economy is rigged for the mega-rich and is pricing everyone else out.

We went to the private billionaire island where Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos escape taxes.

Working Floridians pay $13 of every $100 they earn in state taxes, while the richest pay under $3.

One of the most shocking data center developments in the country is families increasingly being pushed to sell their property for data center power lines, under threat of eminent domain.

Flock is now in over 5,000 communities, conducting over 20 billion license plate scans every month.

Flock's CEO says they respect the democratic process, but when a Cleveland commission voted not to renew the AI surveillance company's contract, that decision was promptly reversed with little explanation.

This is what it looks like when politicians don't respect the people — it is in fact the opposite of the democratic process.

To be clear: ICE shot and killed a man who was not their target. He had no criminal record, was seeking legal status, & was pushed off the road by unmarked cars.

There’s “no body cam footage”, his family can’t recover his body, and the witnesses in his van have been detained.
