The small town of Festus, Missouri
— a community made up of just under 14,000 people
— has become a focal point over the growing backlash against
AI data centers entering communities across the country.
Following the approval of a $6 billion data center project,
voters removed four of the eight members of the Festus city council,
as well as started a petition to remove the remaining city council members and the mayor, reports Politico.

A lawsuit is also seeking to undo the project's approval.

Something that has been bothering me since the start of the Isreal-US conflict with Iran is this idea that the war will be won quickly because Iran is just a bug to be crushed under the boot of the US military. I really get the feeling that people have this massive misunderstanding of the size of Iran, thinking it to be a small country where very few people live. That couldn't be further from the truth.
Just by numbers, Iran is about 1/6 the land mass of the United States. It's…

My #silentsunday.. I only had a chat with two guys at the summit and one guy a bit below.
Besides that... 4-5h silence. If we don't count the minutes I was following the activities of a woodpecker a couple of meters away from me 😊
It took me really efforts to get out. But - as usual - it was worth it.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu here's a suggestion before spending a bazillion on "AI". Make it (much) easier to start small businesses. Like, €100 instead of €1000s, and a clearly defined list of paperwork, that can be processed at a single govt agency in under 1 hour, in 1 country. Then, simplify the byzantine pan-EU tax arrangements so this small business can just pay tax once, instead of needing to spend €4000/year on accountant support, and filing in multiple countries.…
