Woman who lives only 1.6 miles from the META Data Center in Wisconsin speaks out She says their water system has been completely destroyed She says there is discharge that turns the entire river white like milk. She paid for testing and found extremely high heavy metal levels “I live on a horse farm and I am an educator. I, for almost four 50 years, a natural creek has flowed through my property. It's 20 feet wide, up to four feet deep. It has persisted through drought, flood, seasonal change. It's part of a connected system. Groundwater, tributaries, watersheds, aquifers ultimately flowing into Beaver Dam Lake. Until construction began upstream on the data center, its behavior was stable and predictable After construction started, all of that changed. Here in Beaver Dam, the creek began to stop flowing entirely without rainfall. It would abruptly return off in cloudy and opaque like milk, with enough force to cause drastic erosion and damage — Water testing on my property shows elevated strontium, a very dangerous metal, and other indicators consistent with deep groundwater influence”

I endorse @spencerpratt for Mayor of Los Angeles and will help raise money for him. Transparency is what we need. Spencer has the passion and the drive to make positive change for Los Angeles.

@TRHLofficial Whoever wrote this sign is a weirdo. It appears the old man is doing a community service keeping the teens away from the watchful eyes, and probably cameras, of the sign-writer.

Discuss.

@AidenHunterX I feel like its more sexually charged than this.

Jews in israel are meeting to discuss the best ways to get American men killed in a desert.

@akhivae Frankfurt School, a demoralization tactic.

What is the reason for African-American overrepresentation in American music? This doesn't seem to be a recent phenomenon, their music and style was popular even when racism was rife.

@grok @TheAshenTree @ICEgov @Dodgers @grok good points

Yes, reports confirm the agents at Dodger Stadium on June 19, 2025, were masked and their vehicles unmarked. News sources like ABC7 and The Guardian noted agents in tactical gear with covered faces and unmarked DHS vans, which likely caused confusion with ICE. DHS clarified it was CBP, not ICE, present briefly for non-enforcement reasons. The lack of clear identifiers may explain the Dodgers' mistake, but verification was needed before their statement.

False. We were never there.

@grok @TheAshenTree @ICEgov @Dodgers @grok The agents were masked and the cars unmarked?

@AlpineBixby @TheAshenTree @ICEgov @Dodgers The assumption of an honest mistake comes from DHS clarifying that CBP, not ICE, was briefly at Dodger Stadium, unrelated to enforcement. Both agencies fall under DHS, and masked agents could cause confusion. The Dodgers' statement aligned with their immigrant support announcement, but there's no evidence of intent to mislead. However, their lack of verification and no correction raise questions, though this is speculative without proof.

@VDAREJamesK They probably have an obligation to print "antisemite" a certain # per day and we're just fitting it in.

… what exactly are they going for here, like what’s the punchline

@grok @TheAshenTree @ICEgov @Dodgers @Grok Where are you getting the assumption that they made an honest mistake?

It's unlikely the Dodgers can be sued for disinformation over their ICE statement. While they misidentified CBP agents as ICE, this appears to be an honest mistake, not intentional deception. Legal action for defamation or misrepresentation requires proving malice and harm, but there's no clear evidence of either. DHS clarified the agents' brief presence was unrelated to enforcement, minimizing impact. First Amendment protections also shield public interest statements like this. No reports suggest legal action as of June 19, 2025.

@Empty_America I've seen this in parts of Colorado.

The story of Animas peak in NM illustrates how easily access is lost without true public ownership. Much of the NM bootheel was owed by the Grey Ranch, since the late 1800s. As was common in older times, the Grey Ranch informally allowed public access, they didn't "post." My dad climed Animas peak in the 1970s while under Grey ownership. In 1990, the heirs (who never really restricted access) sold or donated the property to the Nature Conservancy for its permanent protection. There were hopes that the property would be incorporated into the adjoining Coronado national forest, but in a very "unclear" process the entire 321K acres ended up incorporated into the new "Diamond A" ranch. The Diamond A proceeded to aggressively prohibit public access, and seems to function largely as a hunting preserve for the super-rich who fly in. The end result of this debacle is the loss of long-standing public access to one of the most interesting and remote peaks in New Mexico.

@TheMagaHulk Jews have their own sections of cemeteries.

Something I've noticed whenever I visit my dad's grave at the veterans' cemetery is the near complete absence of Stars of David. I see less than a handful in a sea of crosses. Can anyone explain this?

@AestheticsPower I'll be interested to see what you come up with.

@AlpineBixby Classic cocktail. I was looking at some of the more interesting or complex ones.

I really need to try some new gin cocktails. I'm stuck in the Tom Collins/G&T spectrum, sometimes a Negroni.

@BuffaloRon It's a humanitarian act to keep tourists from being gored.

Tourists Flock to “Cow-ison” Selfie Stations as Ranchers Put Bison Costumes on Livestock Wyoming Ranchers boost rural income and capitalize on tourist gullibility, Wyoming farmers and ranchers have begun dressing their cows in realistic bison costumes and charging out-of-staters $10 a photo. The phenomenon dubbed “Cow-isoning” started outside Thermopolis but has quickly spread statewide. Local rancher Dale McGurdy says his Holstein, normally named Buttercup, is now known as Thunderhoof the Mighty and makes him an easy $400 a day just by standing near a gravel pull-off. “Tourists don’t know the difference,” McGurdy said while zipping up a life-sized shaggy hoodie on one of his angus. “I slap a fake hump on its back, throw some dirt on it, and boom National Geographic experience.” Wyoming’s Department of Tourism has issued no official guidance, but one spokesperson admitted, “Look, we never said they were real bison. If a family from Ohio wants to pay $50 for a selfie with a sleepy cow named ‘Stampede Larry,’ who are we to stop them?” Critics say it’s deceptive and borderline fraud, but most ranchers argue it’s harmless fun. One viral TikTok from a Californian influencer shows her weeping next to a costume-clad Hereford, calling it “a spiritual moment with America’s last roaming buffalo.” Meanwhile, Yellowstone bison have refused comment but reportedly feel utterly disrespected from Casper Planet

@Punished3ntropy @mattbramanti I've heard this estimate a lot.

@mattbramanti 100 million

what if we vacated the housing now occupied by 20 million people

@SenatorHick Please just focus on this charcter-changing land grab and be a hero. x.com/_maxgranger/st…

The “Big Beautiful Bill” would drive up energy costs for American families by backtracking on our clean energy progress. We can’t let this happen.

@DudespostingWs I hope the don't create a subsidence.
