NEW: Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have announced the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Data Center Moratorium Act, legislation that would enact a reasonable pause to the development of AI to ensure the safety of humanity.
We need it. They were not allowed in College Station, TX. They are now attempting to put one in our small rural area. Land was purchased by Musk. The people in this County are not happy. We want to maintain our rural life. That's why we moved here. Abbott is a pathetic slime seeking attention from Trump and Musk. Problem is, he doesn't have what it takes to run with this group. He's a flunkie.
There are so many problems with data centers the main one is that we have no idea how these centers will affect the health of the people, animals and vegetation around them
NONE should be built without an INDEPENDENT impact and health study for EACH Proposed Data Center before approval to build is given. Also there must be size limits
On this whole topic, Reed Lucien Truscott IV September 9, 2025, post on his SUBSTACK, where he writes an exquisitely clear essay about AI data centers and how they are barking up the wrong tree with their approach to AI because it is not infinite in its possibilities while it is using up massive resources in land and utilities, wow also polluting big time. Within the essay, he points two the track that would lead to success, an inversion basically of what they’re doing. Read it and learn! I taught primary grades much of my career in education and I told him the clarity with which he explains this issue would lay the groundwork for very successful lesson plans to instruct eight-year-olds on the topic. Take a look. I’d call it an eye-opener! And if what he describes is accurate, and I believe it is, any of these centers that succeed in being built ultimately will become extinct and abandoned… And then where are we?
I’m excited to post this reminder which pops up with some frequency.
I’m feeling like we don’t need to crack the entire philosophy of the mind before we regulate the data centers that are sucking our power grids and our communities dry right now. 😂
Your "potentially erroneous but testable assumption" is that we don’t need to crack the entire philosophy of the mind before we regulate the data centers that are sucking our power grids and our communities dry right now. My potentially erroneous but testable assumption is a version of Bob Dylan's "Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn’t see?" question. So, what next? Assume you're right while implying, "What's the worst that can happen?" Or test the two conflicting assumptions? LOL!
Urgent post-tRUMP recommendations: Remove his name, likeness or both on every government building, all government-issued documents, U.S. military ships/bases, U.S. passports, encyclopedias, presidential lists. In addition, all government buildings he has remodeled, destroyed or built should be returned to their former state. Yes, that means tearing down the gasbag's so-called Ballroom and replacing it with the former East Wing. And restoring the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden and the iconic Rose Garden to their original states. In short, his name should be replaced with an "X" on U.S. presidential lists and he, along with every member of his family, should lose their U.S. citizenship and sent to Russia.
Gee wiz Susan Collins thank you for not voting with MAGA for a change. You what? You have race coming up with a very popular progressive candidate who will mop the floor with you and so that’s why you crossed the aisle?
The one thing that can't be overturned day one is our lose of World standings and the Alienation of our Allies. That will take years to build back since the reality is that we as a country have shown that we can change instantly, just one vote cycle.
Trump who built his entire brand on "permanent, irreversible, my-name-is-on-everything" is learning that sharpies wash off. Executive orders? Reversible. Gutted agencies? Rebuildable. Name on federal buildings? There is absolutely a government worker somewhere already pricing out sandblasters. 😂
The ballroom built on the rubble of the East Wing getting 97% disapproval. That's not opposition... that's a Yelp review. One star. Would not recommend. Demolished historic wing for vibes.
The regime wants you demoralized. Don't be. They think if enough craziness is thrown at us, we will quit.
We must demand of our respectgive lawmakers that ICE be immediately and totally defunded and their unihabitable death trap prisons confiscated - prisoners sent to hospitals as needed otherwise to decent, regulated low security facilities awaiting due process hearings
THERE IS NO ROOM IN A DEMOCRACY FOR ICE TERRORISTS we must stop trying to enact work arounds- just DEFUND & ELIMINATE ICE
I don't know about undoing his shenanigans, but #1 priority for me is impeaching Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. Then we can do whatever is necessary to overturn Citizens United and the IMMUNITY RULING.
DAY ONE CAN’T GET HERE SOON ENOUGH! But I want all trump has done to the environment and foreign aid and domestic, humane protections and assistance AND science and higher education UNdone. The problem is it is too late for thousands of species, habitats, the climate, hundreds of thousands of children and families are already dead without USAID and American families and elders - hell all Americans who aren’t billionaires - have suffered tremendously. And we all know how important science and education are and they need to be re-funded.
We need a Wayback Machine.
Perhaps going as far back as 9 months before trump was born. Give his father a condom or fly him to a separate country from his wife or whoever trump’s mother was for an indefinite stay.
Wis, I am so with you about getting what we can of our public lands and national parks back in the hands of those who would protect what is left. It must be done as soon as possible to stop what they have already started doing.
I will add that trump has royally f’d up diplomatic relations with every single one of our former allies and countries in both hemispheres. Without a Wayback Machine, we need to get some humility and conscience, admit defeat and get out of Iran; we must mend relations as best we can with other countries (first by ending all vestiges of trump’s tariffs within the first hour of having power) and work WITH our former friends - (even letting them lead if it will show our deference and appreciation of them) - in negotiating a nuclear weapons moratorium with Iran. [If we had that machine though, Obama’s painstakingly hard-won nuclear treaty with Iran would still be in effect, since trump would have never shredded it up in the first place.]
On day one - I would like the new president to fund healthcare and food programs, freeze Trump's assets and launch an investigation into him, his cabinet and his family for bribery and thievery during his presidency. Then an investigation into Trump and his flagrant disregard for the oath he took to uphold the Constitution. Then education, national parks and - oh - everything else he has touched or gutted - AND get the fake gold out of the Whitehouse and remove his name and every statue.

Good news. Do they know Step 1?
Step 1: If you understand AI without understanding NI (natural intelligence), then you don't understand AI.
If somebody could check, that would be the best news. Thanks!

I am disappointed she wasnt more disappointed about being disappointed in her disappointment wait waht?
I too have concerns about this lol
Too little too late for Susan Collins. I hope every Mainer votes her out for her many disappointing votes.
Excellent post today - the day 1 shall then be the Real Independence Day from tyranny graft misogyny racism idiocracy!
Thank you Debra I agree!
Bring back the voting rights act
Reinstate the accountability offices
Absolutely Jeffrey!
That would be great
First thing to do is jail Trump for the rest of his life for what he’s done to this country.
Looking forward to that day.
The one thing that can't be overturned day one is our lose of World standings and the Alienation of our Allies. That will take years to build back since the reality is that we as a country have shown that we can change instantly, just one vote cycle.
Very true😢
True but I have a feeling much of the world will celebrate with open arms when we get to that day.
Trump who built his entire brand on "permanent, irreversible, my-name-is-on-everything" is learning that sharpies wash off. Executive orders? Reversible. Gutted agencies? Rebuildable. Name on federal buildings? There is absolutely a government worker somewhere already pricing out sandblasters. 😂

Thank you ❤️
Well said, Steve!
1. I want ICE abolished. 2. I think the election in NYC of Mamdami was my favorite, so far.
You took the words right out of my mouth. Ice gone and NYC Mandami election.
I agree!!!
We must demand of our respectgive lawmakers that ICE be immediately and totally defunded and their unihabitable death trap prisons confiscated - prisoners sent to hospitals as needed otherwise to decent, regulated low security facilities awaiting due process hearings
THERE IS NO ROOM IN A DEMOCRACY FOR ICE TERRORISTS we must stop trying to enact work arounds- just DEFUND & ELIMINATE ICE
Yes, that is a classic footnote during the Trump reign!
I don't know about undoing his shenanigans, but #1 priority for me is impeaching Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. Then we can do whatever is necessary to overturn Citizens United and the IMMUNITY RULING.
Agreed!
🙋🏻♀️On Day 1, let’s make a plan to protect democracy so that this won’t / can’t happen again! Fairness.
Let’s get it started!
Let's do it Sharon!
The Voting Rights Act.
DAY ONE CAN’T GET HERE SOON ENOUGH! But I want all trump has done to the environment and foreign aid and domestic, humane protections and assistance AND science and higher education UNdone. The problem is it is too late for thousands of species, habitats, the climate, hundreds of thousands of children and families are already dead without USAID and American families and elders - hell all Americans who aren’t billionaires - have suffered tremendously. And we all know how important science and education are and they need to be re-funded.
We need a Wayback Machine.

Wis, I am so with you about getting what we can of our public lands and national parks back in the hands of those who would protect what is left. It must be done as soon as possible to stop what they have already started doing.
It will be full steam ahead, or full solar ahead, to get our environmental future back on track... We've got the means and the alternative energies!!!
Yes!
Love it!
Keep building the list!
I will add that trump has royally f’d up diplomatic relations with every single one of our former allies and countries in both hemispheres. Without a Wayback Machine, we need to get some humility and conscience, admit defeat and get out of Iran; we must mend relations as best we can with other countries (first by ending all vestiges of trump’s tariffs within the first hour of having power) and work WITH our former friends - (even letting them lead if it will show our deference and appreciation of them) - in negotiating a nuclear weapons moratorium with Iran.

Then education, national parks and - oh - everything else he has touched or gutted - AND get the fake gold out of the Whitehouse and remove his name and every statue.
This is the way
