In Appalachia, they're putting data centers in movie studios
I went to a Hamilton County Commission meeting about a proposed movie studio in downtown Chattanooga with an Oracle data center inside it. I think this could be a harbinger of what's to come.

This is a great mini doc that everyone should watch
Hasan Piker has posted a documentary on his trip to bring 40 tons of aid to Cuba
"In Havana I saw the shadow of Washington's deliberate policy of collective punishment.
The horror of patients surviving on hand-pump ventilators, sweating through darkness with no electricity."

McMorrow is peddling talking points that centrist and right-wing accounts have been pushing relentlessly about Hasan. It’s dishonest, deeply cynical, and appear to be a coordinated smear against Abdul El-Sayed.
Michigan senate candidate Mallory McMorrow says streamer Hasan Piker is "not different from Nick Fuentes"
"He says things that are misogynistic and antisemitic. That is not somebody that you should be campaigning with"
