If you’re looking for additional examples of the environmental cost of AI, there’s also the fact that xAI’s data center in Memphis is currently causing HORRIBLE air pollution. They’ve been releasing so much methane gas that residents are having trouble breathing www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

I just started an accountability partnership and it’s already keeping me on track. The support of my writing friends has really helped pull me out of what’s been a bad year, and an impossible time to write. I cherish them!

I live close to Boston and a good 1/3 of my town is a dead zone. Might want to work on cell coverage before we hand everything over to the robots.

I support anything my kids want to do as long as it’s not magic. I would rather they join isis than become magicians.
