    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.

    #Anthropic Building a #PreCrime System to Surveil #AntiAI #Dissenters, Investigation Shows | Common Dreams

    One legal expert said that as AI companies “become more hated, there’s more pressure on them to over-disclose knowing that some of the people they identify for law enforcement shouldn’t be targeted.”

    by Brad Reed, September 9, 2026

    "The American Prospect on Wednesday published an investigation revealing that top artificial intelligence firm Anthropic is building a predictive surveillance system aimed at tracking activists who are opposed to advanced AI development.

    "The Prospect found that Anthropic last month issued a job posting seeking an intelligence specialist to “identify, assess, track, and investigate global threats including geopolitical instability, terrorism, crime, activism, nation-state targeting of the AI sector.”

    NextEra secures US loan of up to $1.9 billion for restart of #Iowa #nuclearPlant

    By Reuters
    September 8, 2026

    Excerpt: "Iowa's lone nuclear plant, the #DuaneArnoldEnergyCenter, closed ‌in 2020 ⁠after operating for 45 years. Operations are scheduled to resume in early 2029."

    Um... ☢️

    A #Michigan #NuclearPlant shut down for good is being switched back on for #AI power

    Story by Everett Sloane, September 6, 2026

    "A nuclear plant on the shore of Lake Michigan that shut down for good four years ago is now weeks or months away from producing electricity again, in what would be the first time in American history a retired commercial reactor has been brought back online. #Palisades #Nuclear Generating Station, in #CovertTownship, Michigan, ceased operating in 2022 after Entergy concluded it no longer made economic sense to keep running. Its new owner, #HoltecInternational, is now racing to restart it, betting that the same wave of electricity demand from artificial intelligence #datacenters reshaping the U.S. power grid can justify resurrecting a plant that was, until recently, on a path toward permanent teardown. The attempt is being closely watched across the utility industry because more than a dozen other reactors were permanently retired nationwide over the past decade, and each one is a potential candidate for the same kind of revival if Palisades proves it can be done safely and on budget."

    #Texas Gov. #GregAbbott on #AIDataCenter Backlash: 'They Dug Their Own Grave'

    Jennifer Oliver O'Connell, August 23, 2026

    "#NewYork Gov. #KathyHochul (D) and #Kentucky Gov. #AndyBeshear (D) have pushed back against the expansion of #AIDataCenters in their respective states. But with the increasing backlash from communities and individuals toward new #datacenter construction and expansion, even governors that have embraced the #AIRevolution, like #Pennsylvania's #JoshShapiro (D), are now moderating and talking about scaling back.

    "Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) is one governor whose state has embraced the data center expansion. In November 2025, Abbott declared that Texas is the 'epicenter of AI development' in his announcement of #Google building three data center campuses to the tune of $40 million dollars.

    "Fast forward to August of 2026, and Abbott acknowledges that much of the community resistance to the construction of new and existing data centers is the fault of the AI companies."

    [...]

    "Abbott is not wrong. According to a report from #DataCenterWatch, 64 billion in data center projects have been blocked or delayed in #Arizona, #Utah, #Missouri, #Oregon, and #California, to name a few. Even formerly friendly #Virginia is pushing back. #CommunityOpposition surrounds the lack of information provided and the lack of accountability taken towards the citizens who will be most affected.

    "Water and power concerns loom large. Many of the newer development concepts, like entrepreneur #KevinOLeary 's 9 megawatt #StratosProject in #Utah, will have their own self-sustaining water and power systems. However, this did not prevent the backlash by #environmentalists and local activists to shut the Stratos Project down, and Utah state lawmakers ultimately backpedaled from their original approval and requested O'Leary cut the project's 400,000-acre footprint down to 10,000, about 75 percent.

    Hmmmm... Something both the right and left can agree on! 🤖

    ‘I’ve Never Seen This’: Massive Collapse in Support for #AIDataCenters Captured in New Poll

    “If you can think of a cohort of Americans, there’s a good chance they wouldn’t welcome a #datacenter in their area.”

    Brad Reed, Aug 20, 2026

    "A poll released on Thursday shows a massive collapse in support for building #ArtificialIntelligence #DataCenters among #Republican, #Democratic, and #IndependentVoters.

    "The poll, which was conducted by Embold Research and published by Heatmap Pro, shows that 75% of Americans now oppose building AI data centers in their area, including 61% registering strong opposition."

    "Just one year before, 42% of Americans said they opposed AI data centers in their areas, compared with 43% who expressed support."

    #SamAltman and others at #OpenAI are trying wicked hard to convince folks that they're all about saving #Nature... Buying #JackieAndShadow's home and now this... Um, sorry Sam and friends. It doesn't make up for the #NoisePollution, #WaterPollution, pollution from #EnergyConsumption , etc. for the #AIHouseOfCards... But folks are seeing right through that!

    #OpenAI flew influencers to a #NatureResort to fix its image. The internet called it #greenwashing.

    OpenAI flew a group of influencers to a $2,000-a-night wellness resort to warm up the public mood around #AI. Days before a reported $500bn #Datacentre deal, the internet called it greenwashing, and the creators got the backlash.

    August 4, 2026

    "The event, branded 'Summer Camp,' ran at Wildflower Farms, a resort in New York’s #HudsonValley where rooms can top $2,000 a night, Business Insider reported. Creators posted farm-to-table dinners under bistro lights, a beekeeping session, and classes on OpenAI’s tools. They went home with branded canvas bags and jars of honey.

    "The videos were soft-focus and lighthearted. The comments were not. Across TikTok, Reddit, X and Instagram, people called the trip 'dystopian' and accused OpenAI of greenwashing. One commenter told TechCrunch the issue was timing: '#TheWorldIsOnFire. It’s not a great time to brag about your $5,000-a-night suite.' "

    #AIIndustry to world: 'Somebody stop us'

    Story by John Herrman, July 30, 2026

    "More than 1,200 employees at AI firms, including top executives at #OpenAI, #Anthropic, #Meta, and #Google, have signed on to a statement calling for an 'option to buy time to address emerging risks, develop security measures, and strengthen oversight' in the face of 'a real risk that capability development rapidly accelerates beyond our ability to understand or control the resulting systems.' AI could 'help create a dramatically better future, but that outcome is not guaranteed,' they say. Companies and countries are under 'intense competitive pressure' not to slow things down unilaterally, the statement says, and the world currently lacks 'the technical and governance tools to deliberately pace fronter-wide progress.'

    #Kansas town is getting an underground #nuclear reactor [whether they like it or not!]

    Story by Jessie Williams, July 29, 2026

    "A pilot project to bury a #NuclearReactor one mile underneath a town in Kansas has split the opinion of local residents, with some fearing the #EnvironmentalImpacts while others hope it will create economic opportunities.

    "The so-called #GravityReactor is being proposed by #DeepFission, a California-based start-up from a father-daughter duo, #LizMuller and #RichardMuller, emeritus professor of physics at University of California, and an inventor.

    "It will be the first time a commercial nuclear reactor operates underground.

    It's #HammerTime!

    #Illinois Drops the Hammer on #AI Companies

    #Pritzker isn't playing.

    By AJ Dellinger
    Published July 6, 2026,

    "On Monday, Illinois Governor #JBPritzker signed the #ArtificialIntelligence Safety Measures Act into law, giving the Midwest state arguably the strictest set of regulations yet designed to protect its citizenry from the risks posed by the growing power of frontier AI companies.

    "According to a press release from the Governor’s office, the AI Safety Measures Act creates a framework that will require the 'developers of the largest advanced AI systems' (read: #OpenAI, #Anthropic, #Google, etc.) to provide public disclosures as to their safety practices, report any significant #SafetyIncidents, and remain in line with a set of compliance processes. It also creates a channel for #whistleblowers working inside AI labs to safely and securely relay any safety concerns they might have without fear of repercussions.

    "A lot of the law is in line with what states like #California and #NewYork have passed already, but Illinois is claiming a 'first-in-the-nation' distinction for one major part of its efforts: It is the only state that will require AI systems to undergo regular, independent third-party safety audits. That requirement will apply to any AI company reporting more than $500 million in revenue. Those requirements are set to go into effect on January 1, 2028, now that the bill has been signed into law."

    New filing stirs #GreatSaltLake fears as giant #Utah #DataCenter comes into view, eyes water needs

    by Jennifer Green
    Thu, May 21, 2026

    "A new #WaterRights filing tied to a proposed #MegaDatacenter in northern Utah is renewing fears about the future of the Great Salt Lake, just as new renderings offer the clearest look yet at what the massive development could become.

    "What's happening?

    "A proposal connected to the #BoxElderCounty data center project seeks to transfer 11 acre-feet of water from an unnamed spring in #HanselValley, KSL reported.

    "That marks a steep drop from a previous 1,900-acre-foot application that was withdrawn May 7 after prompting around 3,800 protests.

    [...]

    "The proposal is facing intense scrutiny because the Great Salt Lake is already under strain from long-term water shortages, and data centers can consume huge amounts of both electricity and water.

    "Critics worry that even relatively small individual filings could add up over time if the development expands toward its full vision, which includes 7.5 to 9 gigawatts of power-producing capacity."

    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.
    Get Inside Voices newsletter. A weekly collection of ideas, perspectives and solutions from across Utah.

    "Despite loud public objections, online and in person, commissioners did exactly that. 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 23-Atomic-Bomb Valley: Why #Utah’s #AIDataCenter Is A #ClimateDisaster In The Making

    by Rex Freiberger
    Wed, May 20, 2026 at 11:18 AM EDT

    "Your state might be next. Utah counties just approved a data center so massive it would consume more power than the entire state currently uses, dump the heat equivalent of 23 atomic bombs daily into high desert, and potentially increase local #carbon emissions by 55%. Welcome to the #StratosProject—#KevinOLeary’s 40,000-acre bet that #AI supremacy trumps everything else."

    [...]

    "Utah State University physicist Robert Davies calculated #Stratos would dump 16 gigawatts of #ThermalLoad into the surrounding valley—energy equivalent to 23 Hiroshima-scale atomic bombs worth of #heat every single day. You’re trying to cool massive server farms by blowing hot desert air over hot radiators, Davies notes, which doesn’t work well in high-altitude, arid conditions.

    "His projections show daytime temperatures rising 2-5°F and nighttime temperatures jumping 8-12°F across the region. #Desert #ecosystems depend on #NighttimeCooling to generate life-sustaining #condensation. Lose that temperature drop, and you’ve fundamentally altered how plants and animals survive in an already stressed #GreatSaltLakeWatershed."

    #KevinOLeary’s Massive #DataCenter Project in #Utah Gets the Greenlight, Locals Are Furious

    The project would be more than twice the size of Manhattan and could consume more electricity than the entire state currently uses.

    By Bruce Gil
    Published May 6, 2026

    "The Box Elder County Commission voted on Monday to move forward with a proposed 40,000-acre #AI and #CloudComputing campus in a rural part of northern Utah near the #GreatSaltLake. The site would span more than twice the size of Manhattan.

    "The project, backed by O’Leary Digital, the infrastructure arm of O’Leary Ventures, is expected to eventually produce and consume up to 9 gigawatts of power. That’s roughly double the amount of electricity the entire state of Utah currently consumes, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.

    "The campus is expected to be built in phases and overseen by Utah’s Military Installation Development Authority (#MIDA). O’Leary proposed a similar project in Canada in 2024 and has referred to both developments as '#WonderValley.' "

    [...]

    "For his part, O’Leary has claimed, without evidence, that much of the opposition to the project was 'paid' and that the meeting was filled with 'professional protestors.'

    " 'We think that over 90% of the protestors are actually not people that live in Utah or Box Elder County. They’re being bussed in,' O’Leary said in a video posted on X.
    He also claimed backlash on social media surrounding the project was AI-generated.

    "O’Leary Ventures did not immediately respond to a human-issued request for comment from Gizmodo."

    "In a detailed report released last week, titled The Urgent Case Against #DataCenters, #FWW pointed to some of the 'documented harms caused by #AI and data centers,' including:

    - Enormous #energy footprints: A single hyperscale data center can consume as much energy as 2 million US households.
    - A lifeline for #FossilFuels: The thirst for fuel is being met by keeping old #coal-fired power plants running and by building new natural gas ones. [And restarting old #NuclearPlants]
    - Skyrocketing electricity costs: Increased #EnergyDemand can raise residential rates, which soared 31% from 2020 to 2025 (compared to 4% from 2015 to 2020).
    - Drained water resources: By 2028, AI data centers could use as much water as 18.5 million households, just for cooling their servers.
    - An investment bubble: A handful of companies are investing in one another and increasingly turning to risky debt structures to hide the threat of the bubble.
    - A litany of other harms: This includes massive amounts of electronic waste (#EWaste), unrelenting noise pollution, loss of #farmland, political instability from #deepfake videos, lost revenue from data center tax incentives, and #ChildEndangerment from #AI #chatbots."

    #AIBots may lead to the end of the internet as we know it

    In recent weeks, #OpenDemocracy’s website has been repeatedly brought down by an army of bots. We’re not the only ones

    Matthew Linares
    20 February 2026

    Excerpt: "Slater explained that 'the traffic often arrives through anonymous residential IPs', referring to residential proxy networks that route internet traffic through intermediary servers using IP addresses assigned by internet service providers to real homeowners. This, he said, makes it 'hard to distinguish ‘normal users’ from automated collection'. [That's not right and needs to be changed!!!]

    " 'We're being forced into permanent defence mode. #ResidentialProxyNetworks let #AIScrapers hide in plain sight, rotate identities, and extract data at scale. That shifts real costs onto projects that exist to serve people, not feed training pipelines."

    More reasons to say "No!" to #SpaceX and #Starlink (and other unnecessary satellites!).

    SpaceX rocket fireball linked to plume of polluting lithium

    Georgina Rannard, Science reporter, February 19, 2025

    Excerpts: "When a SpaceX rocket failure set the skies aflame over western Europe last February, no-one was sure if the debris was also polluting our #atmosphere.

    "Now scientists are directly linking the uncontrolled rocket re-entry to a plume of #lithium measured less than 100km above Earth.

    "It is the first time researchers have drawn a direct link between a known piece of #SpaceDebris crashing to Earth and #pollution levels.

    They warn that as SpaceX chief #ElonMusk pledges to launch one million satellites in the coming years, this #contamination could be the tip of the iceberg."

    [...]

    "Earlier research has suggested that 10% of aerosols in the atmosphere are already contaminated by space debris.

    "SpaceX has not responded to emailed requests from BBC News for comment. The researchers also sent their findings to the company but did not receive a response.

    "Almost 30,000 pieces of debris are calculated to be free-floating in space, created when rockets break up in space or satellites disintegrate.

    "Scientists warn that the debris is congesting space and threatens collision with rockets, the International Space Station, and our planet.

    "Musk's SpaceX is the world's leading company for rocket launches including for sending humans into space and maintaining a network of 10,000 Starlink internet satellites.

    "Musk recently announced he has applied to launch one million satellites to support #ArtificialIntelligence (#AI) data centres in space.

    "Scientists warn that as humans move more activities off-Earth, more debris will fall to Earth, polluting as it plummets."

    This #SpaceX Situation: Not Good!

    by Jason Koebler, Feb 5, 2026

    Excerpt: "There are many reasons that 'AI data centers in space' may be a pipe dream and may not happen, but what he is proposing is a magnitude of #SpaceJunk that no other company could plausibly promise to launch. Data centers or not, SpaceX is now dominating #LowEarthOrbit in a way no other company or country has. While Musk has been gutting the federal government, interfering in #elections, allowing people to generate #CSAM, engaging in white supremacy, planning trips to #EpsteinsIsland, implanting #chips into people’s brains, siphoning off taxpayer money to build ridiculous tunnels, giving his sperm to whoever will take it, turning his cars into experimental robot taxis, and pretending to build #HumanoidRobots, #SpaceX has somewhat (?) quietly #colonized and dominated low earth orbit.

    "Musk has taken this space for his own use, concerns about #LightPollution, satellite collisions, and telecom #monopolies be damned. This has always been concerning, but explicitly intertwining the aspirations and fate of SpaceX with Musk’s CSAM generating social media website, his #AIBullshitMachines, and his right wing political project is horrifying and monopolistic. What happens next, I have no idea."

    #SpaceX acquires #xAI, plans to launch a massive #SatelliteConstellation to power it

    “This marks not just the next chapter, but the next book in SpaceX and xAI’s mission.”

    Eric Berger – Feb 2, 2026

    "SpaceX has formally acquired another one of Elon Musk’s companies, xAi, the space company announced on Monday afternoon.

    “SpaceX has acquired xAI to form the most ambitious, vertically-integrated innovation engine on (and off) Earth, with AI, rockets, space-based internet, direct-to-mobile device communications and the world’s foremost real-time information and free speech platform,' the company said. 'This marks not just the next chapter, but the next book in SpaceX and xAI’s mission: scaling to make a sentient sun to understand the Universe and extend the light of consciousness to the stars!' [How much Special-K did you take, dude?]

    "The merging of what is arguably Musk’s most successful company, SpaceX, with the more speculative xAI venture is a risk. Founded in 2023, xAI’s main products are the generative AI chatbot Grok and the social media site X, formerly known as Twitter. The company aims to compete with OpenAI and other artificial intelligence firms. However, Grok has been controversial, including the sexualization of women and children through AI-generated images, as has Musk’s management of Twitter."

    #AI Is a #MassDelusion Event

    Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.

    "Who thought this was a good idea?"

    By Charlie Warzel, August 18, 2025

    Excerpt: "The interview triggered a feeling that has become exceedingly familiar over the past three years. It is the sinking feeling of a societal race toward a future that feels bloodless, hastily conceived, and shruggingly accepted. Are we really doing this? Who thought this was a good idea? In this sense, the Acosta interview is just a product of what feels like a collective delusion. This strange brew of shock, confusion, and ambivalence, I’ve realized, is the defining emotion of the generative-AI era. Three years into the hype, it seems that one of AI’s enduring cultural impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it."

    Should we add "#SkinJobs" and "#Toasters" and "#GoRustYourself" to this list?

    How ‘#Clanker’ Became the Internet’s New Favorite Slur

    New derogatory phrases are popping up online, thanks to a cultural pushback against #AI

    by CT Jones, August 6, 2025

    "Clanker. #Wireback. #Cogsucker. People are feeling the inescapable inevitability of AI developments, the encroaching of the digital into everything from entertainment to work. And their answer? Slurs.

    "AI is everywhere — on Google summarizing search results and siphoning web traffic from digital publishers, on social media platforms like Instagram, X, and Facebook, adding misleading context to viral posts, or even powering #NaziChatbots. #GenerativeAI and #LargeLanguageModels — AI trained on huge datasets — are being used as therapists, consulted for medical advice, fueling spiritual psychosis, directing self-driving cars, and churning out everything from college essays to cover letters to breakup messages.

    "Alongside this deluge is a growing sense of discontent from people fearful of artificial intelligence stealing their jobs, and worried what effect it may have on future generations — losing important skills like media #literacy, #ProblemSolving, and #CognitiveFunction. This is the world where the popularity of AI and robot slurs has skyrocketed, being thrown at everything from ChatGPT servers to delivery drones to automated customer service representatives. Rolling Stone spoke with two language experts who say the rise in robot and AI slurs does come from a kind of cultural pushback against AI development, but what’s most interesting about the trend is that it uses one of the only tools AI can’t create: slang

    " '#Slang is moving so fast now that an #LLM trained on everything that happened before it is not going to have immediate access to how people are using a particular word now,' says Nicole Holliday, associate professor of linguistics at UC Berkeley. 'Humans [on] #UrbanDictionary are always going to win.' "

    Massive Energy Needs of AI & #Cryptocurrencies Lead #Amazon, #Google & #Microsoft to Embrace #NuclearPower

    #DemocracyNow, November 19, 2024

    "Tech companies are turning to #nuclear to fulfill the skyrocketing energy needs of #ArtificialIntelligence, with major #corporations like #Amazon, #Google and #Microsoft announcing plans to invest in #NuclearPower. But the speed at which energy needs are growing may not align with the construction or revitalization of nuclear infrastructure, says Alex de Vries, who researches the unintended consequences of #AI and #cryptocurrencies. There may be a 'mismatch between the needs of tech companies today' and the future, while nuclear power continues to carry the same #SafetyRisks that led to its phasing out in the first place."
