A new Amazon data center in Canton, Mississippi, is part of the AI-fueled boom in tech infrastructure that promises to bring more jobs to the state.
But for residents in a neighborhood near the facility, it’s bringing unwanted dust, noise and concerns about their health and their property values.

Patriotism to me is to do what I can to help ensure others don't have to struggle the way I did to get where I'm at now. HS dropout (GED) and homeless at one point. I've had some pretty big hands helping me.
Though it doesn't benefit me to help others, I do it, because it's the RIGHT thing to do.

See, this is what real patriotism is to me. It's wanting your country to be better and learning from other countries. It's not saying it's the best because it's your country.

I've been running my sliding sport website for nearly 15 years. This is my fourth Winter Olympics I've covered in one way or another.
By far, I've seen more enthusiasm for the Olympics here on Bluesky than I remember on any other social media platform. It's legitimately not even close.

If Dem senators vote to extend the DHS CR again, they are instantly going to lose a tremendous amount of support from their base who have been in wait-and-see mode on this. I can only assume Dem senators considering this have completely lost touch with their voters. Don’t do it.
