  1. I want this bobblehead of Schrödinger’s senator

    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcwuDHYktZy/ It's been months since anyone heard a word from Kentucky's Schrödinger's senator, Mitch McConnell. He was carted in an ambulance in mid-June, and his constituents have heard a word from him since. But since I keep referencing Schrödinger, I should at least provide a simple explanation of its significance. But if I write it all in a post, your eyes will glaze over (much like Mitch's ... if he's still in a state of being, since he sure as hell […]

  17. #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.

  20. Fairies of Northern Appalachia is OUT NOW!

    I’m so excited to say that “Fairies of Northern Appalachia: A History of the Little People of the Mountains” is out everywhere now.

    The book collects old and new folklore from Pennsylvania, West Virginia, eastern Ohio, Virginia, eastern Kentucky, and western Maryland. It features Pennsylvania Dutch, Scots Irish, Irish, and Cornish traditions, among others.

    Here you’ll find stories about banshees, tommyknockers, gnomes, mountain dwarves, household spirits, wassernixen, fairy queens, fairy witches, Appalachian pygmies, and arrow-shooting elves.

    The painting on the cover is “The Fairy Favourite” by John Anster Fitzgerald, which I thought perfectly captured the strangeness and diversity of Appalachian fairies. The carving on the back cover is by artist Joan Reed.

    You can find it at your local bookstore or at Amazon. The book is also available in a beautiful hardcover (see below).
