What’s really happening at Elon Musk’s xAI facility in Memphis? This in-depth video investigation from More Perfect Union breaks it down. With sharp reporting and firsthand accounts from community members, legal experts, and environmental advocates, the video uncovers how xAI rapidly constructed the world’s largest supercomputer, powered by dozens of unpermitted gas turbines, just miles from neighborhoods already burdened by toxic air.

xAI’s “Colossus” project is burning enough methane gas to power a small city, without pollution controls or federal permits, raising serious concerns about public health. The video covers:

  • The secretive approval process and lack of community input
  • The use of 35 gas turbines—33 of which were documented to be actively running
  • Potential violations of the Clean Air Act
  • The health effects on nearby residents
  • Federal and local regulators’ inaction
  • xAI’s plans to expand with even more turbines

Memphians deserve better than the pollution, secrecy, and dishonesty they are getting from xAI and some community leaders. Memphis residents have suffered environmental harms from fossil fuel facilities–coal, oil, and methane gas–for generations. Memphians are owed environmental justice, but instead, xAI’s hasty and reckless methane gas facility just pours more fuel on the fire.

Minnesota is home to intelligent, well-educated people whose approval of Trump is lower than that of toenail fungus.

If Lindell wants to lead a state, he needs to choose one at least 800 miles away. Oklahoma?

He may also want to consider that Trump is easily the most detested person in this nation.

The Existence of God

I wouldn’t say that the burden of proof lies on religion.  No one knows how the universe got here.

The Big Bang was an event in which there was no chaos, no “entropy,” as we say in thermodynamics.  How did all this orderliness get there 13.87 billion years ago? No one knows. This is an issue in cosmology which is quite likely to outlast human civilization on this planet.

I’m an atheist for a few reasons, one of which is that saying that God created the universe doesn’t get us any closer to an understanding of the cosmos, if only because it raises the question: Who made God?

More to the point, there are hundreds of moral reasons to disbelieve in God.  Each year, 9 million children will die unbaptized on this planet before their fifth birthdays.  In the bible, we learn that God punishes them all with an eternity of torture in hell.  To what sort of weirdo does this make sense?

At left we have another good reminder that our cognitive biases can render us incapable of thinking critically.

Some of us believe anything we want to.
