Bella’s intense emotion, paired with visceral scratches, dirt, and a fiercely battle-worn aesthetic, brings an unexpected, gritty realism to the beloved fantasy epic.
⭐ Rating: 9.0/10 – A beautifully dark, visually spectacular fantasy war that delivers Hollywood-grade contrast and heartbreaking tension!
Last week, we joined organizations from across the country at the @lisc_hq Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) Resilience Action Network (LRAN) convening in Asheville, North Carolina, to reflect on what long-term neighborhood resilience really looks like.
During one of the conversations, people shared what happened in their communities after Hurricane Helene. Before formal systems fully mobilized, neighbors were already checking on each other. Bringing food. Sharing supplies. Supporting local businesses. Helping families stabilize however they could.
One of the things this convening reinforced for us is that resilience is not only built during emergencies.
It is built slowly, through trust. Through neighbors who know each other. Through small businesses that become gathering spaces. Through organizations rooted in the community long before a crisis happens.
Because when communities are supported before disruption happens, they are better able to care for one another when challenges come.
Grateful to @liscphx LISC Phoenix , LRAN, and the many leaders and organizations who created space for these conversations rooted in care, dignity, and long-term vision for communities.
As of May 2026, over 69 jurisdictions in
the U.S. have enacted restrictions or bans on new data center builds due
to resource strain. Maine leads with the first statewide moratorium, while 14+ states are considering similar legislation.
The U.S. Data Center Moratorium Tracker and DataCenterBans.com provide updated tracking on these actions
As the negative effects of building these sites too close to population centers are slowly being revealed, we expect opposition to these projects to keep increasing.

data center project secretly sucked 29 million gallons of water over 15
months before detected by residents complaining about low water
pressure — officials refuse to fine builders of massive 6.2
million-square-foot facility over unauthorized water use
Fayette County,
Georgia, was telling residents to stop watering their lawns to conserve
water. The request came after homeowners in a nearby subdivision
reported unusually low water pressure, but when the county investigated,
it found the cause: a data center campus 20 miles south of Atlanta had
been drawing roughly 29 million gallons through two water connections
the county didn't know existed, Politico reported Saturday.
Quality
Technology Services (QTS), the Blackstone-owned developer behind the
615-acre Fayetteville campus, owed $147,474 in retroactive charges for
the unmetered consumption, but the county didn’t fine the company.
. . .QTS told Politico the 29 million gallons were consumed during
temporary construction activities, including concrete work, dust
control, and site preparation. The company markets a "closed-loop"
cooling system for its data centers, which recirculates the same water
rather than drawing from the municipal supply. Once operational, QTS
said its facilities would only require water for domestic needs like
bathrooms and kitchens.
However, the discrepancy between QTS’s stated and actual water usage remained undetected for months, with Politico reporting
that the county’s water system director, Vanessa Tigert, attributed the
oversight to a procedural error during the county's transition to a
cloud-based metering system.
NOTE THIS >
Tigert told Politico that
her department has a single employee handling both inspections and plan
reviews, saying,
“... we don’t have enough staff. We can’t keep staff.”
QTS and the county disagreed on how long the water went unmetered,
withTigert estimating about four months and QTS saying 9 to 15 months.
Despite the unauthorized connections, Fayette County opted not to fine
the company.
"They're our largest customer, and we have to be partners,"
Tigert said.
"It's called customer service."
> The incident came to
light last week after a Fayette County resident obtained the utility's
May 2025 letter to QTS through a public records request.
> Fayetteville
had already moved to restrict data center growth
before this, with the city council banning new data centers in every
zoning district earlier this year, adopting Ordinance 26-0-12.
>A
separate proposal from developer Crow Holdings was denied by the city's
planning commission in January, and the company withdrew its appeal in
March.
Georgia's Public Service Commission also froze Georgia Power's base
rates through 2028, specifically to prevent data centers from shifting
electricity costs to residential customers. The state is currently
experiencing moderate to severe drought, and Gov. Brian Kemp declared a
state of emergency last month over wildfires. Georgia hosts more than
200 data center facilities.
The QTS campus is projected to
generate $150 million to $200 million annually in property tax revenue,
according to the city. Fayetteville is one of at least 50 cities across
the U.S. that currently have active bans on new data center construction, with four adopting permanent prohibitions, according to the U.S. Data Center Moratorium Tracker.

The Controversial Sound Only 2% Of People Hear - YouTube
A single modern AI GPU is estimated to consume up to 3.7 MWh of power annually,
and with each server rack containing multiple AI GPUs, that means that
it consumes a lot of electricity just to keep it running. This also
means they generate a lot of heat — so these systems must be cooled to
operate efficiently. Cooling accounts for nearly 40% of data center
power use, and it’s also another major source of noise pollution,
especially if a site relies on air-cooling. Although a single fan might
not make much noise, the scale at which they’re deployed is starting to
have a noticeable impact on the sound level they generate.
The
noise from industrial-grade backup generators compounds this. On-grid
data centers require constant power levels to operate at 100%; that’s
why most, if not all, of these projects have on-site diesel backup
generators. If you have a small diesel generator at home, you know how
much noise it makes just to deliver a small amount of electricity. Now,
scale that up to data center levels, and you’re looking at multiple
generators with massive outputs. The noise output from these machines
can reach 105dB, louder than a snowmobile and as intense as a car horn
at full tilt.

By shredding alliances, legitimizing Russian aggression, and stripping U.S. policy of the credibility that once made American power work, failure to decisively win the Strait of Hormuz will cement Iran as a dominant regional power, strengthen China and Russia, and leave America more isolated than at any point since the 1930s.
The bitter irony is that the man who once argued American power was the indispensable guarantor of global order is now conceding that Trump’s lawless, go-it-alone version of that power has handed America’s adversaries a geopolitical windfall that no battlefield success can undo."
This article recognizing U.S. defeat in Iran was written by the most die-hard interventionist neocon you could imagine:
Robert Kagan.
A Zionist, Jewish, Israel-first war hawk who was one of the most influential ideological advocates for the Iraq War in 2002 — if not the most influential.
For decades, he worked through the Kagan Institute and the Brookings Institution, producing the language, logic, and policy papers that helped spread chaos and war across the world.
He spent years begging for war with Iran after already helping lay the ideological groundwork for the ravaging of the entire Middle East — a catastrophe that brought death, damage, and destruction to tens of millions of people.
Now, after finally getting exactly what he wanted with Iran, he’s throwing his arms up and pretending he had nothing to do with it.
And by the way, his wife is Victoria Nuland — the neocon princess who helped provoke the Ukraine war back in 2014.
It’s believed there are now more than 1 million casualties in Ukraine.
Kagan and Nuland are a power couple responsible for massacring millions, destroying nations, embarrassing the United States, and weakening the dollar.
In a just world, they’d be in jail.
