To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

One of America’s Last Chestnut Groves Is About to Be Destroyed for a Data Center

A rare 200-tree American chestnut grove in West Virginia may be cleared for data-center development, but the project denies the site is on its land.

Anxious about the elections? Imagine that you’re somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs begin to take hold. You remember saying something like "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive. . . ." And suddenly the sky is full of what look like huge bats.

Misread a headline about a vehicular manslaughter incident that "killed six" as "killed sex". Which it sort of did. (i'll show myself out)

Elon Musk, who is estimated to have ensured the mass deaths of 16 million people by 2030, most of whom will be children, is also history's most prolific creator and distributor of CSAM. He has basically infinite money to avoid facing any legal consequences whatsoever for his vast, vast crimes.

Low-angle view of the vintage stainless-steel exterior of the Hi-Lo Diner against a moody, overcast sky. Prominently displayed above the metallic roof trim is a large neon sign glowing red that reads "Diner" in a cursive script. Warm soffit lights glow along the diner's metallic overhang.

Getting reports of bad election ideas in Signal groups. Defend democracy by shooting these down. No, you can’t show up at a precinct & be a challenger/observer. Those must be appointed by a party, nonpartisan campaign or ballot initiative. Letter must be accepted by officials. No letter, out you go.

Black and white photograph of a restaurant dining room. The ceiling features a drop ceiling with a wavy edge that runs along the edge of the room. The underside of the drop ceiling is dark, the elevated side is lighter. The dining area is arranged with round tables covered in white tablecloths, surrounded by dark chairs with upholstered backs. To the right, chandeliers hang from the ceiling.

Wow, according to Wikipedia, there’s a whole history here. It’s a 1950s-style diner, shaped like a giant hot dog, that was built in Denver in 1966 only to close a few years later. It was then relocated to Aspen Park in 1970 and again relocated to Bailey in 2007 where it still operates today.

Picture of a diner shaped like a giant hot dog with a sign CONEY ISLAND and an American flag and I presume a Colorado flag. There are a bunch of evergreen trees behind it and a couple cars parked in front.
