Be the FIRST to like, comment & repost if you agree: Our remaining forests in the Amazon & Congo Basin MUST be protected. They're not "trees". They're our planet's AC, water pump, and carbon vault. Deforestation = Ecocide

All the reactions to American food... I would like to remind everyone living here, our food is so good because of immigration. We started using flavors from other countries and mixing them. Just like our population. We'd still be eating beans on toast without immigrants.

I made pesto for the 1st time. I had a bunch of basil to guard tomatoes & the basil went crazy so I had to end it. Recipe called for 9 cloves of garlic, the pesto 😋 except my mouth is still burning from the garlic. How much garlic is nine cloves of garlic exactly? Some of those clothes were big.

State officials have given data centers $1 billion in tax breaks. Abbott asked ERCOT and PUC on June 10 to conduct a review in a month to ensure data centers are not shifting the increased costs for electricity and water onto Texans. His order is little more than a campaign stunt. P 1/2

Gov. Greg Abbott ordered state agencies to come up with a plan for data centers, but it’s little more than an election-year promise, writes columnist Chris Tomlinson.

It feels strange that humanity dreams of finding life on distant planets while forests here vanish every day. A forest takes decades to grow, to cool the air, protect wildlife, and create peace—yet only moments to destroy. The most important world is the one we already inhabit.

Every year, deforestation and fires release billions of tonnes of CO₂ back into the atmosphere, undoing nature’s hard work. Protecting existing forests is often far more effective than planting new ones. Old-growth forests can be up to 32x more efficient at carbon capture.

There are no economical benefits from datacenters to communities. Convenience stores have more employees, and most of the employees will be shipped in from out of state. Any financial gain to the community will be dwarfed by the increase in electric utility rates. And the noise is unforgiving.

The use of that for immigration overall is bs. On more specific locations though, yes there is physical space, there is absolutely not water and other resources needed to live in a sustainable way. Green grass lawns are dumb and a waste of space/water. Open spaces growing naturally are not useless.

Sometimes I think about how we seem to care more about other animals & less about our own species. A small example in my own life is when I will say hi to someone walking a dog without saying hi to the person walking said dog. They were surprised - we both laughed. The dog wagged his tail.

Our water is too valuable to waste. Yet more than 500 planned data centers are headed to drought-stricken areas. We deserve a say before our water is handed over to these corrupt bigshots.
Infographic from The Guardian comparing the locations of operational and planned data centers in the United States against drought conditions. The headline states that of 809 planned data centers in the U.S., 517 are in locations that experienced drought conditions during the past year. Two stacked charts show drought severity levels ranging from moderate to exceptional. The left chart shows 601 operational data centers, with 392 located in drought-affected areas. The right chart shows 809 planned data centers, with 517 located in areas classified as drought-stricken over the past year. The graphic highlights that a majority of both existing and planned data centers are situated in regions facing water stress. Source cited as Cleanview data as of May 18, 2026.
