The Nashville Zoo is fighting against a new data center in Tennessee due to it being built around 50 yards away from the zoo.
They've got over 230,000 signatures on a petition demanding construction be halted for safety of their animals.
Now I get it!
“The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.
That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.”
Dave Matthews: “I will never stop calling for an end to the violence in Gaza and the West Bank and Lebanon and for that matter the Congo and Sudan and Ukraine or the horrific violence against immigrants and their neighbors in our country”
The Nashville Zoo launched a petition this week calling for the community to push back against a proposed data center from DC Blox, a digital infrastructure provider in the Southeast, citing concerns about environmental damage to the zoo and its animals. Read more: https://t.co/X19vptgvP2

Grocery prices are rising faster than wages, so we’re launching 5 municipal grocery stores with lower prices.
But people can't benefit from resources they don't know about. We need expert branding for New York's city-owned grocery stores to properly serve New Yorkers.
Help spread the word: We're accepting design proposals at https://t.co/I2dfbUIpq5 until June 30, 2026 at 4:30 PM ET.
Stand with us to protect the future of Nashville Zoo.
A proposed 69,000-square-foot data center is planned next to the Zoo, but no environmental impact studies have been conducted. Sign our petition to help protect the animals in our care ➡️ https://t.co/q2ISQnxLBK
The lack of morning weather balloons launched across the western and central U.S. is having a real, tangible impact on degrading forecast quality.
We can't look at weather balloon data that doesn't exist. We can't pump nonexistent data into models. We can't rely as heavily on models that don't "know" what's happening above our heads.
Today's severe weather forecast is less certain because we don't have weather balloon data to confirm the strength of jet stream winds aloft.
This is extremely frustrating, and is the result of logistical, organizational, political and budgetary decisions.
Starting this month, more than 900 deep-sea ocean sensors will be pulled out of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans off the coast of Washington, Oregon, Alaska, North Carolina and Greenland. https://t.co/jmm86WQNcY
