SPEAKING as someone who lives down south it was a bad winter here....
It's why they made weed legal and almost free here - we deserve it.

It's pretty telling that the lunatic fringe keeps trying to whack Trump - and failing. They're crazed and desperate.

So far, the looonies have all been maga. Don't know about this one yet

They want to build one of those "data centers" right near my house. They're springing up everywhere. The power copany here jacked everyone's rates and started replacing all of the regular "telephone" poles with this giant steel things that look like GD East Berlin. They lined them up on the road I live on - which is/was legendarily beautiful. Fortunately they didn't get my stretch of road but they destroyed the neighborhood. Now they'll build a bunch of McMansions, gangs of Arabs, Indians and Albanians will move in. The wives will drive leased Mercedes SUVs, the good for nothing entitled punk sons will have a BMWs. All the animals in my yard will be chased away...my very way of life is slipping away...like the Injuns.


"...Wisconsin data centers to pay full energy costs under new rate, regulators say

Wisconsin's Public Service Commission approved a new energy rate requiring data centers to cover all energy costs, protecting residents from higher bills..."

Someone said they want to put those things in Michigan because they suck a shitload of water

Apparently, near as I can tell, they want to build one on every other block, everywhere.

This is more that just AI, someone is up to something very bad.

I live on a road that looks like a goddamn post card. Now they are replacing all the regular old wooden utility poles that have been serving humanity since ancient times with this enormous steel poles. My house is close to the road. If they put a couple of those monstrosities on my lawn, I go from Walden Pond to GD East Berlin. The kicker is that the crotchety old, swindling, lazy, disability-cheating bum farmer down the road, "Ralph",  rented one of his lots to the very same brigade of assholes that are erecting these giant poles. There's piles of them down the road. So every day at 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM, one after another these big pole-installing trucks come roaring by my house.

This is a picture of what they look like...they're like 100 feet tall. They're hideous.

I can't have this. I'm like part of the land-owning gentry. I need to write my senator...Levin, Miliken...whoever it is...Does Michigan have a senator?

I don't even know what a "data center" is. They have like 4 going up within 20 miles of where I'm sitting. Nobody wants this. Nobody here is hip on Nestle pumping a million gallons of water a day out of the ground here for $200 a year and selling it back to everyone on Earth for two bucks a bottle either.  It's sinister.

I wish I would not have sold the ag lot next door. That could be my undoing. I'm like one of the SS guys who never really had bad intentions but shares the blame for the most dire sort of crimes against humanity. I'm GD Adolph Eichmann!

I don't know how things went down south but the winter here was the worst we've had in a long time. It was like being in jail.
The seasons don’t affect me. I’m too busy with my local AI development.

Seeds accumulate here. I end up with a lot of extra flower seeds and I have a bottle of maybe 50 marijuana seeds. This spring, I'm going to start planting shit randomly throughout the countryside. That will be my legacy.

Somewhere it said that in pioneer times they would plant lilac trees as they moved their outhouses. So now, 200 years later, lilacs grow wild here. At some point, the air smells like lilacs...that's probably happening soon. I should take notes.  Anyhow, so after I'm dead and there's a bunch of trashy McMansions where my backyard is, there will be pot plants growing among the Home Depot pergolas, playscapes, plastic furniture and leased luxury cars.


....God damn them. God damn them all to hell
