@PopHemingway ... I hear the screen door with the spring on it swapping shut behind me coming into the kitchen. The smell of fresh bread just out of the oven. ... Percolator coffee pot perking away, my grandfather at the kitchen table reading the morning newspaper, and grandmom smiles 🥰

Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.

@StephenM Like you're truly concerned about "God's Creation" 😏

These monstrous wind farms—every one of which exists solely based on federal subsidy—are a visual assault on God’s creation that weaken the grid, disrupt marine ecosystems, and force reliance on foreign fuel when have near-limitless reserves of our own.

@nettermike That's a good step. There needs also be language to include far-reaching environmental factors in both all phases of construction and afterward in operation, with penalties for violations

One state. One law. One sentence that says everything: “Big Tech pays its own bills. Not you.” While Washington D.C. argues, while other states debate, while communities across America watch their electricity bills climb month after month — Oklahoma quietly did something extraordinary. It passed a law that no other state had the courage to pass first. And it takes effect in just 19 days — July 1, 2026. This is the story every American needs to read today. THE LAW THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING — AND THE GOVERNOR WHO SIGNED IT On Monday, May 11, 2026, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed House Bill 2992 — the Data Center Consumer Ratepayer Protection Act of 2026 — into law. The name is long. The message is simple. The law is designed to protect Oklahoma families, small businesses, and traditional utility customers from rising utility and infrastructure costs tied to large-scale energy users such as data centers, cryptocurrency mining operations, and artificial intelligence facilities. That’s it. That is the entire point. Big Tech builds a data center in Oklahoma — Big Tech pays for the power lines, the substations, and every infrastructure upgrade its facility demands. Not your grandmother. Not the family-owned restaurant. Not the farmer running a well pump. Not you. The law requires large-load customers that add 75 megawatts or more of demand to sign long-term agreements covering all infrastructure costs tied to their projects — rather than spreading those costs across the general rate base. 75 megawatts. That is the threshold. Any data center, AI facility, or crypto mining operation that demands that much power must foot its own bill — every dollar of it — before connecting to Oklahoma’s grid. AND THE VOTE THAT PASSED IT LEFT NO ROOM FOR ARGUMENT The Data Center Consumer Ratepayer Protection Act passed the House floor and the Senate floor with a unanimous vote — winning approval from every single lawmaker who voted on it. Unanimous. In both chambers. In Oklahoma — one of the most politically contested legislative environments in the country. The bill passed unanimously in both the House Utilities Policy Committee and the House Energy and Natural Resources Oversight Committee before reaching the full floor. At least 36 House and Senate lawmakers from both parties signed on as co-authors of the legislation — reflecting broad bipartisan support across the entire Legislature. Republicans. Democrats. Rural lawmakers. Urban lawmakers. All signing the same bill. All sending the same message. When a bill passes unanimously in both chambers with 36 bipartisan co-authors

@johnrich @Ford It has to do with how newer models are made, the features. If ppl have an EV there are voltage components. It's not always like fixing your old car

This is one of the BIGGEST SCAMS, and no one talks about it. You buy a truck, but you're not allowed to fix it because "You could get hurt?" So instead, they force you to bring it in so they can "fix" it, which is 10 times more expensive than if you did it yourself. @Ford

@ThoNg676733 Never see a platform owner doing that tho

The reason I want to be rich 😍

LISTEN TO A CITIZEN OF OUR COUNTRY WHO IS HAVING A DATA CENTER BUILT NEAR HER PROPERTY. Don't ignore what is actually happening - Maybe it's best not to listen to the fluffy propaganda we hear about almost everything, but when reality strikes - sometimes it's too late to do much about it. Metaphorically - Aren't we launching planes that are still being built - We are forced to pilot them - and we don't know how to fly. Are the only people who are actually going to profit from the DATA CENTERS the people who own them and the government?

@WallStreetApes Well, Trump does this too

Hoover Institution's Scott Atlas says he was in a meeting with Anthony Fauci during Covid He says Anthony Fauci’s goal was to make the public as afraid as possible so we would listen to mandates “Dr. Fauci at one point leaned over this sort of oval conference table and said, "One of the problems is the public is not afraid enough." And I was shocked to hear something like this. And I interrupted. I said, "Can you repeat that?" Dr. Fauci said, "That's the problem. The people are not afraid enough, so they won't listen."” “That's unethical. That's not the way public health is supposed to be done. It's unethical, in my opinion, to use fear in an emergency to manipulate people” - Being apart of releasing a virus that causes a global pandemic is crimes against humanity - Crimes against humanity can’t be pardoned - Multiple life sentences is the historical punishment

@WHFraudTF @WHOMB Only if it's the sanctioned partisan agenda 😏

Alongside @WHOMB, we are winning the War on Fraud. American taxpayers will no longer be forced to fund woke NGOs with partisan agendas. 🇺🇸

@jschroed7 @Not_the_Bee The lands of Virginia, Maryland, and more are good green lands. Private lands. People wanting to keep their multi-generational farms or cultivate new ones. Virginia was called the "Breadbasket of the Revolution" idk how data centers or ruining it fits into a sound equation.

@SummerlarkDC @Not_the_Bee Texas is completely different. No zoning exists outside of cities. Y’all keep running the data centers out of Virginia. We’re happy to have them.

A Texas farmer donated his land for the specific purpose of building a park. The city sold it for $10 million to a data center company. notthebee.com/article/a-texa…

@jschroed7 @Not_the_Bee I read where prior to and after the donation/sale the land had been used for recreation/park. Why was it deemed unsuitable by Taylor TX? I'm going from a set of facts seen on the narrative all y'all are shoving on the very thing you're shoving. ~ AI, housed in data centers

@SummerlarkDC @Not_the_Bee It wasn’t a shell game at all. The land was completely unsuited for a park, which is why three different entities never built one over several decades. Y’all are trying to shove your narrative onto a set of facts that just doesn’t work.

@jschroed7 @Not_the_Bee Do you? I think it *can* benefit people, does But does it across the board Remember we're also talking about data centers encroahing/taking farmland resources there farmers have *their* private property rights and capital interests w/o subsidies.

@SummerlarkDC @Not_the_Bee No, we believe in private property rights and that capitalism actually benefits people.

@omgsidewalks Listening to politicians ... listening to Trump and Jefferies talking ... listening to both talking to each other ... although that might be really funny to see what happens. 🤣

What's worse than being lonely ??

@MmisterNobody Were you at the White House tonite?

The bread is stale and the circus is boring

@Kinza1278 They're like the old witch stairs

What’s the first word that comes to your mind? 👇
