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
One of the worst things you could do (but many people still try) to fix your posture is to try to manually override your body’s natural strategy.
Instead, gently open up space and show it a better way 👇
Have you ever heard of the surgeon’s knot? Similar to the knot used by surgeons, this technique is used to join threads using tweezers (tweezer-assisted weaver’s knot).
Brené Brown, researcher and author, on the contradiction she keeps hearing in rooms full of tech billionaires:
Her work puts her in rooms where the founders and CEOs of major tech platforms talk openly about how they think.
What @BreneBrown hears there unsettles her:
"So I hear someone say, 'Hey, you know, tech billionaire, what should my kids study? I'm worried for my kids… they should study coding, physics,' and then five minutes later, as if that answer didn't happen, someone will say, 'What do you attribute your success to?' I mean deeply when you think about it, and the same person will say, 'My deep reading of philosophy and the stoics.'"
The contradiction is what stops her: the same people crediting philosophy and the liberal arts for their own success are telling other parents their kids should focus on coding and physics.
That gap leads her to a bigger, more uncomfortable question:
"I start to extrapolate from there and wonder if there is a thinking class that's emerging where they're like, 'We're going to read philosophy and we're going to read the liberal arts and we're going to study history, and the rest of you just keep scrolling. Don't worry about the big words. We'll handle all the big words for you.'"
She points to Steve Jobs as an early signal of the same pattern:
"It's like when they asked Steve Jobs, 'Boy, your kids must love the iPad.' Steve Jobs said, 'My kids don't have an iPad.' And then his biographer who spent time with his family said he wasn't kidding. There's no technology. At dinner, they're talking about art and history."
The takeaway is simple but uncomfortable.
The people building these platforms are protecting their own kids from them, and giving them books, ideas, and real conversation instead.
So why are the rest of us being sold something different?
Your feet are the foundation of every movement your body makes.
Weak arches and stiff toes can slowly affect your balance, posture, knees, and even your lower back. Small daily foot exercises can rebuild strength from the ground up. 👣🔥
Today at noon thousands of red rose petals will flutter down through the oculus of the Pantheon in Rome. This spectacular tradition is held each year on the feast of Pentecost.
@crreynolds@3YearLetterman@JamesLucasIT No but I imagine as it’s that old, the walls will be thick and keep it cool in summer and keep the heat in, in winter
Her creativity is truly unmatched
The way she turned a simple idea into something so beautiful and inspiring is honestly amazing 😍👏
Talent like this deserves all the love and appreciation ❤️
I adore Eurovision and watch it every single year. I must say though that I cannot understand why Russia was banned for war and crimes but Israel isn’t. The double standard is shocking and disappointing. Be consistent. #Eurovisión2026#Eurovision#Eurovisión
