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.”

#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.

‘Never seen this level of objection’: #Scotland pushes back against #datacentre boom
#Holyrood ‘inching towards moratorium’ amid concerns over massive proposed developments in #Auchtertool and beyond
by Aisha Down, 25 Aug 2026
"In a village 21 miles north of #Edinburgh, a real estate consultancy plans to build a datacentre larger than the village itself – 35 metres high, with an area larger than 100 football pitches.
"Billed as the second-biggest datacentre in the world, the development in Auchertool, Fife, has attracted 1,600 objections.
" 'The public pressure is huge,' said David Torrance, a member of the Scottish parliament representing the village. 'I’ve never seen this level of objection to a local plan, and I have been in politics for 25 years.'
"Similar concerns are being echoed across Scotland, next to gargantuan planned developments in towns such as #Airdrie and #Larbert. In a matter of weeks, as the Scottish parliament comes back into session, the growing opposition could pose a challenge to #Britain ’s #AI strategy.
" 'The Scottish government is inching towards a moratorium,' said Kat Jones, director of the Edinburgh-based charity #ActionToProtectRuralScotland. 'MSPs return to parliament next week, after a summer in their constituencies where they have been hearing the concerns of local people about proposed #hyperscale #datacentres. They will be expecting action.'
"For months, #UK officials have been encouraging would-be datacentre developers to consider Scotland. In April, Fintan Slye, the chief executive of the UK’s National Energy System Operator (Neso), told a London audience to look north: 'If in the audience you have a big datacentre and you want to go to Scotland, please come talk to me, we will help you,' he said.
" 'They are coming up here because we are energy-rich, and we are water-rich, and England is in drought and the grid is struggling,' said Torrance.
"But Scotland, it turns out, isn’t having it. The proposal for Auchtertool is a behemoth: drawings show the 600MW datacentre towering over the village, dwarfing old stone houses and blocking the view of #fields and #forests.
" 'How can you possibly ask people to accept that?' Torrance said. 'You can see why the public is objecting.'
"Scotland has already started to take steps that could mean the Auchtertool datacentre – and dozens of others – may never be built."

EPA says power for data centers can sidestep pollution laws
By Tim McLaughlin
July 27, 2026"Power sources providing electricity only to data centers and not the public grid may not be subject to federal pollution laws, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said on Monday.
"The EPA said if the power plants are not supplying electricity to the grid then they would not be subject to the federal #CleanAirAct's #AcidRain Program, which has been key to the dramatic reduction of #smog and #soot pollution from industrial facilities."

#BrunswickME considers pause on #datacenter proposals
There will be a public hearing on the proposed moratorium on June 1.
by Katie Langley, Posted May 19, 2026, Updated May 20
"Brunswick is among several Maine municipalities considering moratoriums on large-scale data centers after Gov. #JanetMills vetoed a bill that would have temporarily restricted such developments.
"At a Monday night meeting, Brunswick’s town councilors set a June 1 public hearing on the proposed moratorium. If passed, the moratorium would give the town 180 days to gather information on the impact of data centers and set regulations on their development.
"The drafted moratorium closely mirrors other temporary policies being considered in towns and cities including #WestbrookME, which uses the same law firm as Brunswick.
"Town councilors on Monday removed a section in the draft moratorium that defined data centers as having a gross floor area of at least 10,000 square feet or electrical capacities of at least 20 megawatts. Instead, data center projects with an electrical capacity of 1 megawatt or more would be prohibited during the moratorium period.
"Brunswick has an existing, smaller-scale data center on #BrunswickLanding, owned by internet company #FirstLight, that town leaders have said has not been an issue and does not store artificial intelligence data.
"Town Manager Julia Henze said Monday night that there are no proposals for data centers on the horizon for Brunswick, but a moratorium would give the council time to update town ordinances and be prepared for such projects.
"Other municipalities, including #SanfordME and #ScarboroughME, are considering data center moratoriums in response to already proposed projects."

#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."

#BraveHeartSociety Issues Urgent Warning on #ArtificialIntelligence and #DataCenters
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Jan. 8, 2026
Excerpt: "#FaithSpottedEagle, #Ihanktonwan, delivered an urgent warning today about artificial intelligence and data centers, imperiling the future of our water.
" 'I come to you on this beautiful day with an urgent message. Many times in our past as #NativePeople various #messengers have come to warn us of frightening, hurtful invasions that are coming. There is one coming immediately -- and it is here and it is called artificial intelligence."
"Spotted Eagle said artificial intelligence is developing these data centers, and they are sounding the alarm, to all relatives, including the non-Native people, that this is really going to be the last blow to our land and water.
" 'It takes billions of water to run these data centers, and it is known to enhance cancer, it is just a multiple of dangers that are coming.'
" 'So our main concern is the unborn, we have to be at this point in history,' warned Spotted Eagle, director of the Women's #OhitikaOkodakiciye (Brave Heart Society) and chair of the Ihanktonwan Treaty Committee.
" 'Just like #ThomasBanyacya, #SittingBull, and #ChiefSeattle, they foresaw the future and we are seeing the future right this minute, and so we ask, implore you to join us, united together, as relatives as all races, to stop these data centers from stealing our water.'
" 'The invasion is coming again.'
"Speaking in an urgent video address today, #ElijahSmall, biologist for the Brave Heart Society, joined Spotted Eagle and described how the data centers bring an unbelievable harm to the communities.
" 'These data centers are energy consumptive. They warm the river water and dump that water back into our rivers and streams. This could have a profound effect on both the natural environment and the fish that we rely upon.' "

Countries are struggling to meet the rising energy demands of data centers
#Mexico’s lagging energy grid is forcing companies, including #Microsoft, to use generators.
By Daniela Dib and Pablo Jiménez Arandia, 15 September 2025
Excerpt: "That Mexico’s electric grid is struggling does not bode well for a country trying to position itself as a data center hub, and which is already home to 150 #DataCenters, including from Microsoft, #AmazonWebServices, and #Google. Together, they have invested over $7 billion in the country since 2020.
"Like Mexico, countries around the world are scrambling to meet the rising energy demands of data centers, spurred by a boom in #ArtificialIntelligence and #CloudComputing. Like Microsoft, some companies have tapped alternative — and sometimes more #polluting — energy sources. Mexico’s power grid faces a deficit of 48,000 megawatt-hours by 2030, which is more than half the country’s output in 2023, according to the Mexican Institute For Competitiveness, a research center. As the country lures more data center-related investments, more companies may follow in Microsoft’s footsteps.
" 'This case is part of a broader global pattern, particularly in areas where the rapid deployment of #DigitalInfrastructure is outpacing the #EnergyGrid’s capacity,' Marina Otero Verzier, a visiting professor at Columbia University who researches data centers, told Rest of World. 'In some cases, corporations frame fossil-fueled generators as temporary solutions, which, over time, become normalized.'
"Microsoft set up its data center last year in #ColónMexico, an industrial hub with a population of over 67,000 people, but was unable to plug into the country’s energy grid, which is itself largely powered by #FossilFuels. In documents filed to Mexico’s environmental secretariat in 2023, Microsoft said the grid would not be fully operative to the company until mid-2027 due to 'long construction times required in [Microsoft’s] contract with CFE,' referring to the Federal Electricity Commission. The following year, the secretariat approved Microsoft’s request to use seven generators to temporarily power its data center.
"A spokesperson for Microsoft declined to comment on how the company is powering its data centers in Mexico now, and whether it will continue using generators.
"Worldwide, nearly 60% of the electricity used by data centers comes from fossil fuels including #NaturalGas. #Renewables including #solar and #wind meet more than a quarter of the demand, according to the International Energy Agency. But while the share of renewable energy is increasing, the rapid growth in the demand for data centers is outpacing the expansion of renewable energy infrastructure, posing a challenge to the climate goals of countries and tech companies alike."

#BorderPatrol Wants Advanced #AI to #Spy on American Cities
A U.S. Border Patrol “Industry Day” deck also asks for #drones, seismic sensors, and tech that can see through walls.
by Sam Biddle
July 23 2025Excerpt: "U.S. Customs and Border Protection, flush with billions in new funding, is seeking 'advanced AI' technologies to surveil urban residential areas, increasingly sophisticated #autonomous systems, and even the ability to see through walls.
"A CBP presentation for an 'Industry Day' summit with private sector vendors, obtained by The Intercept, lays out a detailed wish list of tech CBP hopes to purchase, like satellite connectivity for #SurveillanceTowers along the #border and improved radio communications. But it also shows that state-of-the-art, AI-augmented surveillance technologies will be central to the Trump administration’s #AntiImmigrant campaign, which will extend deep into the interior of the North American continent, hundreds of miles from international borders as commonly understood.
"The recent passage of Trump’s sprawling flagship legislation funnels tens of billions of dollars to the #DepartmentOfHomelandSecurity. While much of that funding will go to Immigration and Customs Enforcement to bolster the administration’s arrest and deportation operations, a great deal is earmarked to purchase new technology and equipment for federal offices tasked with preventing immigrants from arriving in the first place: Customs and Border Protection, which administers the country’s border surveillance apparatus, and its subsidiary, the U.S. Border Patrol.
"One page of the presentation, describing the wishlist of Border Patrol’s Law Enforcement Operations Division, says the agency needs '#AdvancedAI to identify and track suspicious activity in urban environment [sic],' citing the 'challenges' posed by 'Dense residential areas.' What’s considered '#SuspiciousActivity' is left unmentioned.
Customs and Border Protection did not respond to questions posed about the slides by The Intercept."Read more:
