An attorney representing DC Blox said at a Thursday night Metro Planning Commission meeting that “they’re going to build” the data center next to the Nashville Zoo, despite community opposition.    “We already have the permits in hand,” he said. “We just want to work with the community to find a solution.” The attorney is Doug Sloan, former director of Metro Planning. @WSMV - you need to identify him. @MarshaBlackburn did you sell your soul…

@KathleenWinche3 No letters or numbers on the keys. Old manual typewriters, take me back to 1959

I remember but it was an electric typewriter!

🚨President Putin’s Message to the German Government and the German People This is how the coup de grâce is delivered – without weapons, verbally… “We don’t want to attack you! Why would we? Those times are long gone! Anyone who is still in their right mind and can think clearly understands that. First: You already have national debt amounting to 2.5 trillion euros, and no serious economist has any idea how you ever plan to pay that back. And now you want to take on another 1 trillion euros to arm yourselves against us. Do you want the Russian people to foot that bill? Never! Second: Your country is teeming with millions of migrants who cost you 50 billion euros a year. Should the Russian people be held accountable for that? Third: A considerable portion of your population is so deranged that they believe they can influence the climate by cycling and eating insects. Perhaps this massive brain damage could be fixed, but that would cost us something too.” a lot. Fourth: – Your education system was once exemplary. Now, in many classrooms, hardly any teaching takes place anymore because almost no one speaks German. Fifth: – Your infrastructure is crumbling, and you can’t keep up with the repairs. Sixth: – Your railways were once the pride of the entire world. Now your trains run like they do in India. Seventh: – We don’t need your famous engineers. During the sanctions, we learned that we can get by without them. But if we do need them after all, we’ll turn to China. There they’re not only cheaper but also better. Eighth: – You have neither raw materials nor energy sources. So why should we conquer your country? To solve problems we wouldn’t even have otherwise? Realistically speaking: Even if you called us, surrendered, and raised white flags, we still wouldn’t come!

A man in Barnstable MA speaking on illegal immigration: Brings to mind the Quote from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: “The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of men who wanted to be left alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They do not ask for much. Just to be left alone. But when they are pushed too far, when their families, their homes, their livelihoods, or their way of life is threatened… they become the most dangerous force on earth.”

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 German Media Claims Trump Gave "Secret Order" on AI Drones Hitting Russia is False - It Started Under Biden & Trump Simply Continued it... ▪️The report ignores the fact that for well over 2 years - under the Biden administration - the US already green-lit this program and it has only just now come fully online; ▪️This means US foreign policy continued - 100% uninterrupted - from one admin to the next (continuity of agenda) regardless of the campaign lies told by Trump in 2024 - literally nothing has changed except on the battlefield and across the respective industries of the West and Russia; ▪️This is also evidence that despite political theater, the US is still 100% driving this proxy war of its own deliberate creation; ▪️Here is the timestamp of my warning from 2 years ago regarding precisely this AI drone program: youtu.be/qWC-48Y_gmQ?si…

@GigglingGanon If you don’t know your rights you don’t have any.

Motorcyclist owns police at a DUI checkpoint by saying nothing. The power of exercising your right to remain silent is so powerful. ​A multi-agency DUI checkpoint at the California-Nevada border was not ready for a man that was willing to push the boundaries of control and patience. ​When the officer asks the standard probing questions, the rider doesn't argue, yell, or escalate. He simply uses six powerful words: "I don't wanna answer any questions." ​Why This Approach Works Police officers use casual small talk at checkpoints to look for signs of impairment, slurred speech, or conflicting stories. By politely refusing to answer, you give them zero verbal ammunition to build reasonable suspicion. ​ Notice how the rider asks, "Are you ordering me?" before moving to the staging area or handing over his ID. You are legally required to comply with lawful commands (like showing a driver's license while operating a vehicle), but you are never required to consent to voluntary questioning. ​ Because the rider remained completely silent regarding his activities, and showed no physical signs of impairment, the law enforcement officers had absolutely no probable cause to detain him. Once his identity was verified, they had no choice but to let him go. ​Knowing your Constitutional rights is one thing, but having the calm confidence to execute them under pressure is where the real power lies. Speak less, know the law, and protect your rights. This was done to perfection.

When Chekhov bought his country estate in Melikhovo, he wanted to ensure the local peasants knew when he, as a doctor, was available to help. He set up a simple but effective system: whenever he was home and ready to receive patients or head out on house calls, he would hoist a specific medical flag on a pole outside his house. Local villagers would watch the horizon for the flag, knowing that if it was flying, "the good doctor" would treat their illnesses completely free of charge. For the struggling farmers of the Russian countryside, that simple piece of cloth waving in the wind was the difference between life and death. They did not care that the man pulling the rope was a famous writer whose stories were debated in the grand salons of St. Petersburg. To them, Anton Pavlovich was the tireless soul who would ride his horse carriage through freezing mud in the dead of night just to soothe a child's fever. This deep bond with the poor defined his entire existence. Chekhov lived a short life, dying of tuberculosis at just 44 years old, but he packed more humanity into those years than most do in a century. He managed to balance two demanding worlds simultaneously, famously explaining his double life to a friend with a sharp flash of humor. Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my mistress, Chekhov said. When I get fed up with one, I spend the night with the other. This unconventional arrangement worked beautifully. Rather than distracting him, his medical training became the secret lens through which he viewed the human condition. He did not look at people as characters to judge or lecture; he looked at them as a caring physician looks at a patient, observing their flaws, their quiet heartbreaks, and their daily contradictions with complete empathy. His literary mistress brought him worldwide fame, but his lawful wife kept him grounded in the harsh realities of human suffering. When a devastating cholera epidemic struck the surrounding provinces, Chekhov did not use his growing celebrity status to flee to safety. Instead, he took charge of multiple medical districts entirely on his own, treating thousands of destitute peasants without asking for a single ruble in return. Even as his own lungs failed him and he began coughing up blood from the disease that would eventually kill him, his focus remained fixed outward. He used his literary earnings to fund the construction of rural schools, organize relief projects for families facing famine, and build a public library in his impoverished hometown of Taganrog, personally shipping crates of books to fill the shelves. He firmly believed that life had to be measured by concrete actions rather than beautiful theories. He once noted that it is good if each of us leaves behind something good, a trace that will continue to exist and prove our lives did not pass in vain. When he finally closed his eyes for the last time in the summer of 1904, the literary world mourned a genius, but the peasants of Melikhovo mourned a protector. Long after his physical presence faded, the warmth of his extraordinary generosity remained. Chekhov showed the world that true greatness is not found in how high you rise above others, but in how low you are willing to bend to lift them up. His life reminds us that a legacy built on pure kindness is the one thing that never truly fades away.

@AlexLemas @shouq_al90149 It’s very subtle but this is the most asinine fucking comment on this thread

🇺🇸/IRAN The US-backed Israeli War on Lebanon is Part of the US War on Iran ▪️The US has, from 2024-2026 waged direct war on Iran either through its own military forces or those of Israel spanning both the Biden & Trump administrations; ▪️The US has also waged regional war on Iran for decades, attacking and toppling the nation of Syria culminating in war spanning 2011-2024, war on Ansar Allah in Yemen, and of course war on Hezbollah in Lebanon spanning the entire 21st century including a major US-sponsored Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon in 2006 and now again in 2026; ▪️This is one single war - not separate semi-related conflicts - which is why an "MOU" supposedly ending hostilities against Iran must include ending hostilities against Hezbollah in Lebanon; ▪️ A failure to end attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon & forcing Israel out of Lebanese territory means that despite the "MOU" being signed - the US gets to continue its war on Iran simply via Israel against Iran's asymmetric regional defenses - winning a "breather" for itself while continuing to tighten the encirclement and isolation of Iran; ▪️This further proves the US seeks further war, not peace, and is seeking to manage the war's progress, not end it;

🇷🇺🇺🇦Russian Forces Continue Encircling Ukraine's Remaining Donbass Strongholds ▪️Despite claims across Western media Ukraine has "turned the tide," Russian forces continue their incremental advances including toward the most heavily fortified positions within the Donbass; ▪️The city of Konstantinovka (1) is being encircled with sections of the city already admittedly held by Russian forces according to pro-Ukrainian Live UA Map; ▪️The same pro-Ukrainian map admits the presence of Russian forces inside Lyman (2) to the north; ▪️Following the taking of Konstantinovka and Lyman, Russia will enhance its ability to target Slavyansk and Kramatorsk with drones and other precision-guided weapons to complicate logistics, rotating forces, sending reinforcements, weakening the defense of these strongholds as well; ▪️ Slavyansk and Kramatorsk are the two remaining strongholds in the Donbass held by Ukraine - following their fall, Russia will control the entire Donbass region - a key objective of the SMO;

When the illusion finally shatters, what remains isn't disappointment,it's humiliation. The man you poured your faith into was never a visionary, never a savior, never even remotely exceptional. He was a hollow fraud wrapped in ego, fueled by noise, and sustained by endless self-promotion. Every boast, every grand promise, every display of swagger crumbles the instant reality enters the room. What looked like confidence was arrogance. What looked like strength was insecurity. What looked like leadership was little more than a carefully marketed illusion. Scratch beneath the surface and there's no hidden brilliance, no master strategist, no misunderstood genius. Just an impulsive, self-absorbed figure stumbling from one failure to the next, desperately trying to drown incompetence in a torrent of bluster and spectacle. In the end, the strongman image collapses into exactly what it always was: cheap theater. A gaudy performance. A caricature masquerading as leadership. A salesman peddling an image he could never live up to. And the hardest part isn't watching the act fall apart. It's realizing how long you applauded it, defended it, and mistook obvious bullshit for substance.....

@GrocholskiJack @FurkanGozukara I believe it is a product of producing aluminum, we ain’t cranking out that much plus the refinement is 100% done in China.

@AlexLemas @FurkanGozukara You do know that we have it here. But naturalists won’t let us mine it. Apparently there is an endangered lizard species. Just kidding.

🚨 WOW! Secretary Blinken confirms a massive Pentagon disaster. He reveals Trump halted the war because Washington literally ran out of munitions! He exposes how US stockpiles are severely depleted. Trump's aggression resulted in a total strategic failure for the empire.

Humans create empires for the same reason they create egos. It’s all about the impulse to control. We come into this world boundless and free with eyes full of wonder, but within a few years our minds create and solidify a sense of self around which our mental lives revolve. We do this because we are helpless when we are born, and things happen which are uncomfortable or startling, so we naturally begin seeking out strategies to control what happens to us. Before you know it we’ve got vast spires of psychological architecture within us dedicated to using thought to promote the interests and security of an entirely symbolic me-character that we made up in our minds. And from that point on we are cut off from the Eden of perception. Our attention rests no longer in the wonder of the senses but in the incessant babbling of the mind and its churning narratives about self and other, enemies and threats, attainment and lack, attachment and aversion, ambitions and deficiencies, unworthiness and shame. All because we were born helpless little creatures with nervous systems and a startle response in a world full of chaotic giants. And then we have the capacity for psychological suffering. Whereas previously we were only able to experience discomfort from actual material forces like hunger or a diaper rash, or from being startled by a big dog or something, suddenly we have created the ability to suffer for reasons we created entirely inside our own heads. Stories like “I’m inadequate,” “I failed,” “I embarrassed myself,” “I made a mistake,” “I hate that person,” or “That person isn’t doing what I want” consume our attention throughout the day and make us miserable. And it all arises from that initial impulse to control what happens in order to feel secure. All social dysfunction has its roots in that impulse. Abusive relationships happen when one partner tries to exert extreme control over the other for their own sense of security. Economic injustice happens when one class exploits the other because they think they’d feel a bit more secure if they just had another billion in the bank. Tyrannical governments happen when leaders feel the need to control the thoughts, words and behavior of the populace to secure their ongoing rule. Empires happen when tyrannical governments feel the need to control what goes on not just in their own nation, but in surrounding nations as well. That’s ultimately all that drives the US empire. People who have far too much interest in controlling other people, with far too much power to do so. It causes a horrifying amount of suffering, destruction, chaos and injustice, but at its root is that fundamental impulse to control what happens which emerges within all of us in early childhood. We’re basically ruled by emotional toddlers who never learned to rein in their egos. They’re trying to control the planet in the same way they tried to control their access to toys and candy when they were small. It is possible for the human organism to liberate itself from its habituated creation of the ego through the process commonly referred to as spiritual enlightenment. It is also possible for humanity as a species to liberate itself from its large-scale control mechanisms in the same way. That’s what a healthy humanity will look like. We will be free from all internal impulses to control, manipulate, exploit and dominate, and our systems for organizing society will no longer feature states which oppress their populations and try to rule the world. We are still very, very far from achieving this potential as a species. Humanity is still deeply ensnared in its egoic delusions, on an individual level and at mass scale. But we’re waking up. Strangely, awkwardly, stumbling forward like a toddler, we are moving to become a conscious species.

@FurkanGozukara Gallium…….do some research on what it is and who owns the world’s supply.
