Ranchers, the GOP let this happen. They voted to let DOGE and Trump eradicate funding for screwworm monitoring programs. Now, screwworm is here and cases are rising by the day.
Nashville Zoo is asking the public to help stop an AI data center from being built next door.
One of America's biggest zoos has launched a campaign against a proposed 69,000-square-foot data center that would sit next to habitats housing endangered species, including vulnerable clouded leopards.
Zoo officials fear the facility's constant noise, artificial lighting, and electrical hum could disrupt animal behavior and breeding programs that have taken years to establish.
The dispute highlights a growing side effect of the AI boom.
As artificial intelligence systems become more powerful, companies are racing to build new data centers to provide the computing power they require. These facilities consume enormous amounts of electricity and often operate around the clock.
Across the United States, communities have increasingly pushed back against new data centers over concerns about energy use, water consumption, noise pollution, and environmental impacts.
Now wildlife conservation groups are joining that resistance.
The Nashville Zoo, which houses more than 3,700 animals representing over 350 species, says the project could threaten one of the most important collections of rare animals in the country.
More than 180,000 people have already signed a petition opposing the development.
The company behind the project says it will use waterless cooling systems, meet noise requirements, and comply with environmental regulations.
But for zoo officials, the location remains the problem.
The battle reflects a growing challenge facing the AI age: how to expand the digital infrastructure powering artificial intelligence without creating new pressures on communities, ecosystems, and wildlife.

The CBS Sports family lost a beloved teammate over the weekend. A tragic accident took the life of 31-year old Bryce Adair, who worked on football and golf coverage
Can’t imagine how any family deals with a sudden loss, both immediate family and work family

Whatever you do, don’t save this picture and reply to all of Trump/White House/ Foxnews/ MAGAs tweets with this picture . Please. Trump wants it to go away:
Unfortunately, the current level of supplies for our air defense does not allow us to intercept a significant share of missiles. Last night, there were hits. 130 people were injured. Tragically, 22 people were killed, including two children. My condolences to all those who have lost their loved ones.
We know from intelligence that another large-scale strike may come as soon as tonight. All our partners together, and everyone in Europe, should continue working to ensure missiles for our air defense, as well as the systems, critical intelligence, and other things that help to save lives.
It is crystal clear that Europe needs its own anti-ballistic system with sufficient volumes and strength to guarantee protection against any threat.
🚨Congressman Thomas Massie dropped the bombshell everyone was waiting for: He revealed Epstein's hidden list and exposed Kash Patel for lying to the American people. Massie says: 'The FBI has files with the names of 20 other men involved with Epstein in the sex trafficking network, including a high-ranking government official.'"
400,000 dead Americans at Arlington.
Fuckface somehow heard: “This would be a good moment to joke about how few dead soldiers were named Donald.”
This utterly vile, self-obsessed asshole turns a sombre event into a fucking stand-up routine about himself.
Imagine starting a regime change war to end Iran’s nuclear & missile threat only to:
- Keep IRGC in power
- Give Iran control of Strait
- Unfreeze $20 BILLION in assets
- Allow Iran to keep ballistic missiles
- Allow Iran to keep uranium
It’s not a peace deal.
It’s surrender.
