I live in rural Virginia where so many of these data centers (thanks to you) have been blocked.
My county doesn’t have any yet, but all the farms near me have had to be RUINED by these horrible things to power data centers in adjoining counties, and we are fighting to keep bigger towers away.

There was actually a Democrat outside our polling place!! We live in a very red county and there’s usually a huge contingent of Republicans and no Democrats.
She said there was one other Democrat who spoke with her today.
(Hiding her face because I didn’t ask permission to post her photo.)

It makes so much sense! Why take a child’s pet away and then make some shelter pay to care for it?
We got our Covid baby from them. She’s on the left, not happy with babysitting duties.

The SPCA near us has a program for families to enable them to keep their pets if they can’t afford to feed them. They offer free pet food and some medical subsidies.
You must live in King George, Caroline, Stafford, Fredericksburg or Spotsylvania County in Virginia.

I saw this recently and thought it was quite interesting.
When someone on X (not me) asked Grok if a video of Elon was real or AI, Grok responded “that’s not me.”
