[Rodney Smith Jr @iamrodneysmith]

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.

More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸

This is how Democrats stay in power in California

US Attorney Bill Essayli was kicked off the Elections Committee by Democrats for fighting for Voter ID

🚨 He exposed how the State’s website allows ANYONE to receive mail in ballots without a drivers license or social security. You simply check the box, ‘I don’t have one’ and are sent a ballot

“The Democrats in our legislature in Sacramento kicked me off my elections committee for fighting for you, the voters, and speaking up on voter id”

“I'm on the website for the State of California to register to vote on the section where you put in your driver's license, your last four of your social, there's a box underneath each one. It says, I don't have one. I don't have one. And then you're allowed to proceed to go to vote. What is the agenda here? Why do we let people register to vote and we don't verify their immigration status? We need to instill confidence in our elections”

Here’s how Democrats rig elections with those mail in ballots

California moved aggressively toward universal mail-in ballots. Key steps included:

- 2016-2018: Laws like the Voter’s Choice Act expanded vote-by-mail options.

- 2020+ Permanent universal mail-in ballots, every registered voter gets a ballot mailed automatically

Ballot harvesting third parties collecting and delivering ballots was also legalized and expanded

The finishing blow: In 2024 SB 1174 was signed. It locked in the statewide no-ID standard

And that right there is how you permanently rig elections forever

No one can ever beat this voter fraud

We need a federal audit of California elections

The punishment for election fraud should be equivalent to the punishment for treason, because that’s exactly what it is

#DataCenter approach

[Science girl @sciencegirl]

China has begun deploying underwater data centres as a way to reduce the enormous cooling demands of modern artificial intelligence infrastructure.

One such facility is located off the coast near Shanghai, positioned roughly 35 metres below the surface of the ocean. It reportedly houses close to 2,000 servers, including high performance GPU systems designed for AI processing, 5G applications, and other large scale computing tasks.

The concept is based on using the surrounding seawater as a natural cooling system. Conventional data centres require large amounts of electricity to prevent servers from overheating, especially when running AI workloads that generate significant heat. Cooling can account for a major share of total energy use.

By placing sealed server modules underwater inside pressure resistant units, operators take advantage of the consistently low temperatures found at depth. This reduces the need for traditional air conditioning and mechanical cooling systems.

Reports indicate the site has achieved a Power Usage Effectiveness score of under 1.15, which suggests that a greater proportion of its electricity is being used for computing rather than supporting infrastructure. For comparison, many standard data centres operate at around 1.5 or higher.

The project is said to have been developed by HiCloud Technology alongside Chinese partners, with an estimated cost of around 226 million dollars and a capacity of approximately 24 megawatts.

This approach reflects a wider trend in the technology sector as demand for AI computing power continues to rise rapidly. Engineers and companies are increasingly exploring alternative designs such as offshore facilities, floating platforms, and experimental cooling methods in response to growing energy requirements.

Underwater data centres remain an emerging solution, but they highlight the scale of innovation being explored to manage the environmental and energy pressures of modern computing.

THIS is why #TSA agents should never, ever go without a paycheck, and deserve our thanks every time we go through the line. It seems like whenever we collectively start to relax and complain, someone tries something like this.

🆘 HOUSTON, THIS DOG NEEDS HELP NOW 🆘

A concerned citizen has been reporting this situation for over a week and has been making a nearly 2-hour commute every day to check on this dog.

According to reports, the dog is being left outside in extreme heat and is showing signs of distress, including excessive panting. Water that is placed outside quickly becomes extremely hot due to direct sun exposure, raising serious concerns about the dog's welfare and risk of heat-related illness.

This dog cannot speak for himself. The community's voice may be the only thing that gets him help.

📍 Location:
Wyte Ln, Houston, TX 77093
The house is located between 4514A and 4510.

Despite multiple reports, the SPCA has reportedly declined to intervene and has advised concerned callers to contact the Houston Police Department instead.

📞 Houston Police Department Non-Emergency:
713-884-3131

Community members are encouraged to respectfully call and request a welfare check. Every report helps bring attention to this situation and may help prevent a tragedy.

Please share this post, tag local animal advocates, rescue organizations, media outlets, and anyone who may be able to assist. This dog deserves safety, shade, water, and proper care.

🐾 Please help amplify this message until help arrives.

Dr Elisabeth Potter, a plastic surgeon for cancer patients in Texas calls for healthcare reform in America

While in the middle of a surgery, UnitedHealthcare called the Operating Room and made her to exit surgery to justify an overnight stay for her patient

Dr Potter made a social social media video saying out insane this is and UnitedHealthcare threatened her

UnitedHealthcare sent her a 6-page legal letter from a defamation firm. It demanded she:

- Remove the posts and videos
- Issue a public apology
- Retract her statements claiming she lied
- They accused her posts of “fomenting violence” due to angry public comments against insurers

Dr. Potter is pushing for the Speak Free Act legislation to protect healthcare workers from retaliation when they speak out about systemic issues in patient care

We must DEMAND healthcare reform in this country. It’s only going to get worse because of big health insurance carriers

May is closing with one of the most captivating celestial events visible to the naked eye. On the night of May 30–31, the second full moon of the month will rise, creating what is known as a Blue Moon.

This will be the first Blue Moon since August 2023, with the next not occurring until December 2028. But this year’s event is especially memorable because it coincides with a beautiful alignment of planets.

As the Blue Moon shines, all four of the brightest planets visible from Earth, Venus, Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn, will also be on display. Before sunrise on May 31, Mars and Saturn will glow low in the eastern sky. After sunset, Venus and Jupiter will shine brightly in the western sky, with the full moon dominating the night.

Despite the name, a Blue Moon is not actually blue in color. The term simply describes the second full moon within a single calendar month. Because the lunar cycle is approximately 29.5 days, two full moons rarely fit inside the same month. On average, a Blue Moon occurs only once every 2.5 years.

The planetary “lineup” is an impressive sight created by perspective. While the planets are separated by hundreds of millions of miles in space, from our viewpoint on Earth they appear to line up across the sky alongside the brilliant Blue Moon.

A perfect opportunity to look up this weekend and enjoy one of nature’s rarest sky shows.
