Al Gore lost in 2000 as a centrist. John Kerry lost in 2004 as a centrist. Barack Obama won in 2008 larping as a progressive. Then lost the House in 2010, and Senate in 2014 after it became clear that he was a centrist. Hillary Clinton lost in 2016 as a centrist.

On Tuesday, I presented on the City of Lexington’s AI Policy and spoke of the need to confront the issue of data centers. On Wednesday, we learned that a data center developer had purchased property in Lexington and is seeking to develop it. In case it wasn’t apparent enough—I’m opposed to that.
A Note on Data Centers
Like many of y'all, I was frustrated to learn that DartPoints, a data center developer, had purchased a portion of property formerly owned by LexMark with the intention to expand existing data center infrastracture on the property to support a new, larger data center.

City leaders, including my fellow Councilmembers and I, were not involved in or made aware of this proposed development ahead of time. I learned of this the same that the general public did: through reporting by the Lexington Herald-Leader.

I find this development alarming for many reasons. As I said during the GGP
Committee's Al discussion on Tuesday:

"Our constituents have legitimate concerns about the rapid proliferation of data centers across our commonwealth and our country. I share their concerns. That is a part of this conversation that we are anticipating having in the near future. It is my hope that we will choose to protect our people and our resources."

I said that at the time, because Council was already set to discuss how data centers should be defined in our Zoning Ordinance during our July GGP meeting.

I want to be clear with you about where I, personally, stand: I do not support the construction of hyperscale data centers in Fayette County and I do not support allowing the expansion of existing data center infrastructure at this time.

As of now, Mayor Gorton has confirmed that the project will not receive any city funding and added that she supports "tight controls" because data centers "do not produce many jobs, and have the potential to increase utility costs on local residents."

I am continuing to have conversations about what the most effective and impactful next steps are on this front and it is my hope that we will act sooner rather than later to protect our people and our resources.

Not even Danhausen can overpower the curse that is Donald Trump. While I want to see the @ny-knicks.bsky.social win the NBA Finals, I cannot help but find it poetic & LOL’able that they lost their first Finals game in New York City since 1999. Ending a 13 game win streak in the playoffs.

⚡️NEW: Trump defends Hamas crackdown on gangs in Gaza, likens it to cleaning up Washington, D.C.

Speaking from the White House, Trump said Hamas “did take out a couple of gangs that were very bad… and killed a number of gang members.”

“And that didn’t bother me much, to be honest with you,” he added. “That’s okay.”

Trump compared it to how his own administration handled violent gangs, claiming “Venezuela sent their gangs into the U.S., and we took care of those gangs,” and Washington, D.C., once “one of the worst cities in the country,” is now a better place thanks to similar crackdowns.

“Now it’s safe. You can walk to work. Isn’t it nice?” Trump said.Correspondent claims: "Hamas is rearming itself as a police force, shooting rivals. What's the message to Hamas?  

"Because they want to stop the problems. They have been open about it. And we gave them an approval for a period of time..."

At the time of this tweet, no ceasefire has actually been established. Israel continues to bomb Gaza, commit war crimes, and commit genocide of Palestinians. If… BIG IF… a ceasefire truly takes hold and the genocide ended, credit will be given where due.

The alleged killer of Charlie Kirk turned out to NOT be a person of color, trans, gay, an immigrant, ANTIFA, nor even a Democrat. 22 year old Tyler Robinson is a typical white, Christian (Mormon), cis male from a pro gun conservative family. His father is a retired cop.
