Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

This is sick. Climate change will not only kill more people than big tobacco ever has, but it will displace millions of people and cause the demise of entire cultures and languages which is effectively genocide. Is this really about the national government saving its own arse? #nzpol

The NZ Govt charges the same Road User Charge to a small electric car as it charges a giant 3.5 tonne diesel SUV. Giant cars cause more road damage, more injuries and deaths to pedestrians, cyclists and children, more climate and air pollution. It is a bizarre subsidy and it needs to change.

Our donor loving govt has: Systematically destroyed emissions reducing policies. Crashed the carbon price. Subsidised high emitters. Put up $200 cash for fossil fuel exploration. Will tax billions for LNG. And is now outlawing climate litigation. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/environ...

America held elections during wars, national crises, and our darkest moments. Now voters are being told 45,000 ballots can be tossed aside and people can “vote again.” Louisiana GOP Gov. Jeff Landry’s response? “It’s not a big deal.” Disgraceful. #SheShed

For many years I have been aware that our local museum had these two cat portraits in their collections, but I had never seen either of them on display. When I found out they were going to be part of an exhibit this summer you better believe I made plans to be there on opening day.
