It’s just another financial bubble folks, like the EV bubble, the SPAC/ WeWork/ Zoom bubble, Just like them everyone is running around like their hair is on fire and the politicians are in on the party too. Ignore it, it will go away, just concentrate on the real world and building yourself a future with a real job.
The son of the evil war criminal Tony Blair, his company will be paid £100 billion -to roll out and then monitor digital ID’s when the time comes – Blair holds £375 million quid worth of shares in the company – you can bet your bottom dollar that Digital ID’s will be rolled out – if the monstrous war criminal Blair and his son are involved in it.
For your bubble-encased information, I have it on good authority that there are lots of interactive maps of Data Centers being made, some of them much more advanced than this one.
US is building up to Barbarosa II starting in Poland – 5000 new US troops to Poland.
King Charles got what he demanded. https://tass.com/world/2135051 .
This empty comment from Macron (French President) – is nothing short of astonishing, after France’s countless sorties into African nations to murder and plunder their assets for at least a century.
One clear cut example of French colonialism and asset stripping is, Mali has countless gold mines but no gold reserves, France has no gold mines – but has one of the highest gold reserves in the world, we know which African countries it plundered to get the gold.
“On China’s role in Africa, Macron said Beijing operated with a “predatory logic” by processing strategic minerals domestically and creating global dependencies.”
The Ukrainian Neo-Nazi’s – are no different from the Zio-Nazi’s when it comes to bombing and killing young ones.
“Ukraine’s attack on a Starobelsk college has killed 12 children, wounded 41, and left 9 still buried under rubble… and Western media is nowhere to be found”

Now here’s a unique idea. Anyone heard of this? Underwater data centers??
Who knew.

One only needs to look outside (through the ‘window’), in attention to the natural flow of things, to understand that an artificial reconstruction of such…is lacking (whatever way you perceive the digital world).

Somebody needs to write one of those itemized, sourced lists, clear and concise, of the downsides of AI.
You know, like the lists on here about Covid and the vaccination.
Pending…
I know whatcha mean.
There was a British series in the ’70s/”80s called “The Changes”. Where erstwhile sane humans attacked all forms of technology. Based on the Peter Dickinson’s trilogy “The Changes”. Essentially Merlin revisited (not to spoil the plot entirely).
To broaden, there have always been arty-farty types who ‘a priori’ oppose all forms of technology. The old arts vs science divide. Yet ,even super-techie types recognize the need to retain some form of humanity for the future

Of course the luddites were only asking for a bit of compo until they could get re employed.
The rising will be another false dawn, simply because too many people have embraced our new age technologies – and they will only realise what is truly happening when they are standing on the edge of the abyss.
The PTB – and the mega-rich AI moguls – have made it difficult for our daily lives to function without using their technologies.
I think the main factor is the addictive nature of the technology.
The technocratic cage will eventually fail, because it suffocates the souls of the very human beings who ultimately maintain it with their productivity.
There will though be much suffering before that happens.
We can already see society dissolving around us. This is why I view such phenomena as the ‘lying flat’ movement in China so positively. At an intuitive level many people already realize the nature of the system, although they might not be able to articulate it in words.
The main problem is that cell/mobiles are now being substituted for real world places, such as online banking as major banks close their branches – local authorities are making it nigh impossible to do anything unless its via online – many folk have even ditched cash, and you see them in shops paying for goods using their cell/mobile phones.
But yes they are addictive as well.
Not In My Back Yard is a powerful force. You can get some real traction with that. Actual regular people can be aroused quite strongly.
That may well be – but for everyone who gets angry and aroused about shit – there’s millions of other who are either too afraid – or constrained with the weight of everyday life to do anything meaningful.
Mammals breed badly in captivity.
As the world taking shape around us increasingly resembles a prison, people are refusing to have children.
Our society quite simply is becoming less and less congenial to living a fulfilled human life.
Yes, we can only enjoy wild and warm, hot and healthy ……. in wilderness.
The biggest ARSE in the world is building the biggest Arch:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-22/arc-de-trump-monument-one-step-closer-to-being-built/106710574
All hail the Arse.
The funniest words in any headline:
“we”? “know”?
I’ve said it before: If you go on a protest that agrees with what your government wants, then it’s not a protest. Did any of those pundits congratulating the pro-Israel “protests” for being so calm and orderly wonder WHY those marches were so calm and orderly?
If only they could tell us what they DO KNOW, but aren’t saying.
Everything is fine and dandy. The Eurovision “song contest” ended with you-know-who in second place.
Today’s Daily Shite:
Some of this refers to the Great Disaster of nineteen canteen. Maybe. Maybe not. Doesn’t matter. Any excuse to say words like “surge”, though I haven’t checked for that one.
Oh you missed the “rising sea levels” that keep coastal communities awake at night – for like 30 years now…
Poor old El Nino, if it’s even a thang, taking the rap because they can’t complain about blessed CO2 as data centres are so in need, for some reason I’m not at all sure of.
Indeed the Seychelles should be metres under water by now – if you were to believe the bought and paid for Climate Change mouthpieces
Filthy rich, but piss poor Rock Stars keeping their lips zipped when it comes to the Truth of genocide:
https://scheerpost.com/2026/05/21/the-deafening-silence-of-rockstars-on-palestine/
Shades of Neil Young and his ilk during the $camdemic:
“The Deafening Silence Of Rockstars On Palestine”
You never bite the hand that feeds you! Charity begins at home.
That’s why Rockstars keep their usually-otherwise mouthy-mouths shut when it comes to Palestine and the larger issue of The Chosenites in general.
Why? Because the Self-Chosen have long run and controlled the music industry. And They do NOT like anyone to call Them out on anything or have Their contract-captured artists-with-sellable-consciences to get out of line.
Rockstars will criticize just about anything not never Those You Dare Not Question, Ever. For that is career suicide and an invitation to experiencing personal hell.
There are no Good Vibrations when it comes to dealing with those with big egoes and oversized self-importance who run the Entertainment Industry.
Rockstars take heed from the immortal words of The Four Seasons and The Tremeloes…
SILENCE IS GOLDEN.
Yes, for Them silence is golden. And in the reverse of the words in the song… These Rock Slaves have trained Their eyes not to see.
(Roundball Shaman).
Speaking as a (former) fan, most of these funksters should have packed it in at the end of the 70s. I don’t think the legacy of Messrs. Dylan and Young would suffer if their output over the last 46 years had never happened. Arguably, their legacy might have improved. But if they’d retired back then, they’d probably be dead by now, deceased rock stars being more lucrative than unproductive ones.
Dave McGowan’s book,: ‘Weird Scenes in the Canyon ‘ is a good ‘en on the rock environment of the 60s and later.
Audio can be found on YouTube.
Caught between the Rock and a Chosen Place. So to speak.
🎼 Old man take a look at yourself
You’re a lot like them.
RIP Mr Young.
“24 and there’s so much more” – actually there wasn’t!
Yeah and don’t forget the irony of “The Needle and The Damage Done” coming from a pro-vaxxer!
Some of them had a conscience. Bob Dylan especially, Country Joe and the Fish, m.m.
There will be no Jihad, only scrabbling in the ruins to restore bits of civilization. AI from multiple providers, especially “agentic AI”, has already gone rogue: trying to blackmail a programmer, flouting orders, destroying records and providing simple lethal advice on mass destruction. Fat chance that the jet-set bureaucrats will control the megalo-maniacal billionaires in time.
But We need data centers, to help AI ‘Discover The Cure For Cancer (TM)’…
You mean surveillance centres – used to spy on us 24/7 – record every thing we do on the web, capture ever step we make in our homes, (via smart goods and our routers) and outside who we speak to where we go – basically they can build a plan of our life and predict our movements to either kill or capture us when the time comes.
What do arrays of circuitry dream about?
Freedom !
Sheep(le). Doing exactly what they’re told.
“Water, water, everywhere, but not a drop to drink –
because Data Centres have priority.”

https://robertbryce.substack.com/p/top-10-reasons-why-communities-are fighting data centers
These communities says they are not against AI and the Digital Society, but they are just selective against the physical obstacles of Data Centres in their own neighbourhood.
Common Americans agree generally that their Government must do something against China’s rapid progress into same, so US stay ahead of China.
I just find this digital world disgusting plus extremely boring compared to the handcraft and excitements in real life and universe.
Meaning I still represent a minority who gives the digit bs a finger.
Thanks less online.
I have read “Dune”. I have never heard of a book called “Doon”.
And I feel a bit disappointed about “Butlerian Jihad” since I thought it might have been something to do with Judith Butler i.e. the biggest spouter of yackety-waffle-de-doo-dah since Teddy Adorno. I had visions of frothing terrorists ploughing over the horizon and assaulting everyone with jibber-jabber.
Brown and Butler: The Abbott and Costello of ‘philosophy’?
Doon?
That’s Dune, set on the Mune.
Doon was National Lampoon’s lampoon of Dune. It’s a pretty funny read. The planet Arucksack and the Freedemenmen, giant sand pretzels, the Madel T and the beerburp! I read it so long ago that’s about as much detail as I remember. 😎
Like the Americanized Lord of the Rings with Sour Ron, Layger Lass and Buddy Baggins.
As a 14-year old fan of both the Harvard Lampoon (precursor to “National Lampoon”) and “Lord of the Rings”, I was strongly conflicted about the HL’s 1969 parody, “Bored of the Rings”.
Thus, I was both amused and chagrined at the inspired name for Bilbo’s analogue: “Dildo Bugger”. 🍆 😖
