@cdarwin@c.imAn artificial intelligence data center development venture has signed a multimillion-dollar deal that will allow it to ⚠️consume over 40% of a Pennsylvania town’s excess water supply.

@patrick_townsend@infosec.exchangeSignal can help you organize a group
I have been amazed at the stories about neighbors helping neighbors in Minneapolis and in other towns and cities. Nothing can replace the courage and kindness of the people who have risen to the occasion to help others. And one tool they use to organize their neighbors and friends is Signal.
You might think of Signal as a messaging app. It is that, but it is so much more. In addition to messages, Signal supports private video meetings, phone …

@cdarwin@c.imIran’s supreme leader has vowed that authorities will not back down in the face of a rapidly growing protest movement,
setting the stage for an intensified violent crackdown on the second day of a nationwide internet shutdown.
Protests have raged in cities and towns across the country in recent days,
posing a threat to the authority of the regime, which has been significantly weakened since the last large protest movement in the country in 2022.
Another round of demon…

Reminds me of Walmart/Amazon decimating the economy of small towns

Indigenous peoples from #Chiapas, Mexico, rose up.
They took control of city halls in towns across the state.
They took the state capital #San #Cristobal

@cdarwin@c.imRemoving the United States as
co-host of the 2026 World Cup
would hurt for pretty much everyone.
Fans would miss out on seeing the sport’s pinnacle in their home towns (or somewhere nearby).
Cities and businesses small and large would lose the financial benefits they had banked on.
It would be a logistical and political nightmare on an international scale,
the likes of which have never been seen before in sports.
It would be eminently sad.
