  7. Hey, Southeast GA folks, Amanda Hollowell is in a runoff against Joyce Griggs for Buddy Carter's old seat! Joyce has tried twice, never raised money, never campaigned, and never even tried to win. Amanda is a fighter. Amanda will raise money.

    We have a chance to win this time, in a district dems haven't won since it was gerrymandered into existence.

  9. We visit the old Medea sanatorium in the once-thriving Georgian spa town of Ts’q’alt’ubo (წყალტუბო), whose healing radon waters have been known for hundreds of years. During Soviet times, workers’ spas were established, then left to decay after 1989. With its delapidated surfaces and an insurge of plant life, within its empty corridors and gaping window frames, these ruins evoke a kind of dreamlike state.

  21. #Georgia #DataCenter Secretly Used 29 Million Gallons of Water, Exposed by Residents’ Low Water Pressure

    By Staff Writer
    May 11, 2026

    #FayettevilleGA — "A major #datacenter campus in Fayette County, Georgia, drew nearly 30 million gallons of water through unmetered connections before the issue surfaced due to complaints of low water pressure from nearby homeowners, county officials said.

    "The discovery, first reported by Politico, centers on the sprawling 615-acre #QTSDataCenter development located about 20 miles south of #Atlanta. #QualityTechnologyServices (QTS), owned by #Blackstone, operates the site, which is one of the largest data center projects in the United States.

    "Fayette County investigators found that the campus had been pulling water through two connections the county was unaware of and had not properly billed. As a result, QTS was issued retroactive charges totaling $147,474. County officials estimated the unmetered usage covered roughly four months, while the company maintained the period was between nine and 15 months.

    "Vanessa Tigert, director of the Fayette County Water System, attributed the oversight to an administrative error that occurred during the county’s transition to smart meters. [I call BULLSHIT!]

    " 'Fayette County is a suburb, it’s mostly residential, and we don’t have much commercial meters in our system anyway,' Tigert said. 'And so we didn’t realize our connection point wasn’t working.'

    "A QTS spokesperson confirmed the company paid the retroactive charges immediately upon notification and said the unmetered usage stemmed from the county’s meter system upgrade.

    "No fines were issued. County officials emphasized they are maintaining a cooperative relationship with the developer.

    "The Fayetteville campus currently includes 13 buildings encompassing approximately 6.2 million square feet. It is part of a larger planned development that could eventually include up to 16 buildings.

    "The incident highlights growing tensions nationwide over the resource demands of data centers. Communities across the U.S. have become increasingly vocal about the strain these facilities place on local water supplies and electrical grids, leading to heightened opposition to new projects.

    "In a separate but related development, an Indianapolis City-County Council member’s home was shot at in April shortly after he supported rezoning for a data center project. The attack on Ron Gibson came days after a 6–2 vote approving the nearly 14-acre facility in the Martindale-Brightwood neighborhood."

  22. #India's #DataCentre boom confronts a looming water challenge

    Nikhil Inamdar, 9 November 2025

    Excerpt: "From #Chile and #Mexico to #Georgia in the #US and #Scotland, serious concerns have been raised around data centres guzzling excess water for their cooling systems and consuming vast amounts of energy at the cost of local communities.

    "In an energy starved, water-scarce India, these challenges are even more accentuated.

    "According to the World Bank, India has 18% of the world's population, but only 4% of its water resources, making it among the most water-stressed countries in the world.

    "India's data centre water consumption, meanwhile, is expected to more than double from 150 billion litres in 2025 to 358 billion litres by 2030, putting further pressure on its water table.

    "Moreover, most of India's data centres are concentrated in urban clusters like #Mumbai, #Hyderabad, #Chennai and #Bengaluru which have strong competing water needs."
