I had a rather huge article written about the Michigan-Western Michigan game from last week, but it was just too long for this platform. If you don't know what I'm talking about, please go look up what happened and realize that I'm not *just* talking about #sports here. So don't do that "ew, sportsball" nonsense.
There is one very big takeaway from the whole story that I feel is getting way underplayed, and that is that the entire official story, as parlayed by the Big 10 Conference, very literally comes down to a demand that you disbelieve what you saw. We have a clock over here, it shows one second, and what you saw doesn't matter...it didn't really happen.
This is an increasing problem to navigate in a world of Jeffrey Epstein, the Donald Trump regime, AI, and similar crap - a loss of objective grounding. Rather than there being a standard established by consensus and neutral authority, we're dealing with "rules" that serve the whims of those whom we are powerless to affect. Michigan will walk away with this and that will be that; no one will complain because there's money involved and no one is going to lose their money over this.
One of the things I heard in leading the #Greens was, "You can't lead because you don't compromise on anything!" Which wasn't true. Compromise is a virtue; what we did was refuse to be *compromised*. (These were #Democrats . They definitely didn't understand the difference.)
At this point, with all that is occurring, I don't know how to change things for the better, but I'm convinced of one necessary starting point, and that is to refuse to be compromised and to stand up and say, repeatedly, annoyingly, stubbornly, again, and again, and again, and yes again that we won't be "getting over" anydamnthing. Yeah, ultimately, it's a football game and who cares - but they just made it into something much, much deeper with their insistence that #reality is something they control.
The President of the U.S. is a madman, and he lost the 2020 election. The elites of the world ran a pedophilic trafficking ring. Billionaires are recklessly pushing AI and ruining the planet. Right-wing evangelical movements in the U.S. have nothing to do with Christ. Vaccines are efficacious and contribute to overall public health. There's a genocide happening in Gaza. "Human rights" means everybody, including the trans people.
And for God's sake, you lousy sons of bitches, there was no time on that clock.

Oh look. Our #BigTechOverlords don't want us to diss their #AISucks technology!
US law enforcement warns of “#AntiTech extremism” as #AIHatred grows
The feds are raising the alarm about a new category of threat.
Daniel Boguslaw, WIRED.com – May 27, 2026
Excerpt: "In the wake of attacks on CEOs, a nationwide protest movement targeting data centers, and increasing concerns about AI job replacement, federal intelligence agencies and domestic law enforcement are circulating reports with a new domestic target in mind: #AntiTechnologyExtremists.
"More than 1,000 pages of unpublished reports from the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, and fusion centers obtained by WIRED show a national shift taking place to surveil this new and worryingly broad category of people and activities deemed an emerging threat.
"This new effort follows President Donald Trump’s National Security Presidential Memo 7, which instructs the Department of Justice to target anyone holding '#AntiAmerican,' '#AntiChristian,' and '#AntiCapitalism' beliefs. Earlier this month, #Trump’s counterterrorism czar, #SebastianGorka, released a public counterterrorism strategy claiming that left-wing extremists are one of the three top counterterrorism priorities facing the United States.
"Taken together, these Trump administration directives have commandeered the domestic surveillance apparatus to surveil and criminalize speech and assembly that challenges the ideology of the White House. A new focus on anti-technology extremism adds an unreported category to already public designations under a presidency that has heavily invested political and material capital in #AI and #datacenter proliferation.
"Among the documents in the tranche obtained by WIRED is a New York Intelligence and Counterterrorism Bureau report that warns of widespread upheaval in response to AI adoption. Of particular note is a novel term for what the bureau purports to be an emerging extremism threat."

Tribune editorial: The voice of the people has pushed #Utah leaders to stop and think about massive #DataCenter. Keep it up.
This is an issue that has united people across the political spectrum.
By The Salt Lake Tribune Editorial Board
| May 22, 2026"The fear that a ginormous, water-guzzling, air-befouling, weather-modifying data center planned for Utah’s northwest corner was a done deal seems to be easing just a bit. It’s not hard to see why.
A handful of key state officials are now promising that, before the project actually gets built — if it ever does — the appropriate environmental reviews, with opportunities for public comment, will happen.
"That doesn’t mean that the people who have stood up to what appeared to be a pre-greased mega-project can rest easy. Vigilance and activism are what have worked so far, and will be necessary going forward. As long and exhausting as that process might be.
"It will take a lot of continual public outcry to counterbalance the monied interests pouring campaign contributions into the coffers of Utah Senate President #StuartAdams and other powerful worthies who have been pushing the plan.
"Few Utahns had any inkling that a little-known state agency called the Military Installation Development Authority (#MIDA), which Adams chairs, had put its weight behind the #StratosProject, a proposed data center that would, at full build-out, generate and consume twice as much electricity as the whole state of Utah.
"The Box Elder County Commission had to sign off on the project before the MIDA board could take over all land-use, water, energy, environmental and tax-abatement authority over the 40,000-acre project — immune from any democratic oversight.

Given that the land is privately owned, not part of any city and not zoned for any particular use, commissioners argued they really didn’t have the power to stop it.
"But others do."

The AI marketing droids are jedi mind tricking your boss into thinking AI codes better than you do. It doesn't. It approximates a pattern it thinks is best. The pattern is a weighted approximation of everything it has gobbled up. And if that pattern is anything close to what I've seen in my career, it's around 28% decent code, 2% golden awesome, and 70% shit.
Oh and half the shit source code in the pattern is only shitty because it allows execution without validating its context correctly (or at all lol). And AI might try to do it's pattern matching parlor trick to the best of its ability, but it is constrained to a context relative to how well the user understands and has inputted it, and also from the implied context of the mass of stuff it has consumed - it still can't evaluate it meaningfully or "understand" it (Ai being not actually intelligent), so...
Admitting defeat to the point I skimmed over, the jedi mind trick has worked so far. Your boss will probably (or has already) still gut some other critical budget to buy this crap and demand the parlor trick. Be safe everyone.

#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."
