Finally completed the watercolor painting for the cover design for my Novella Painted In Positano. Here's the front cover with the finished painting of Paloma and Giovanni dancing. Great way to head into 2026.

You move and then there's the unpacking and redesigning. Still a WIP but my downstairs bathroom and wine bar are coming together. (Yep, there's still a ton of boxes everywhere... it all takes time.) #homedesign #buonaseralifestyle

Why yes. Afternoon coffee at 6:13pm plus listening to Heart's Crazy On You will help me get things done on 5 hours sleep in 48. Even if I said I'd fax my husband when I meant text. youtube.com/watch?v=OZuW6BH_…

The only thing heard for a thousand miles was the overpowering hum of township's AI Data Center. It had been that way for two decades and now the only one to hear it this morning was the AI bot at the controls. The last human took his last breath before he died of dehydration...
🚨 DATA CENTERS: This is How Democracy Dies in America, One Lawsuit at a Time 🚨 A small Michigan farm town did everything right. Saline Township residents packed meetings, plastered signs everywhere, and convinced their board to vote 4-1 AGAINST rezoning prime farmland for a $16 BILLION OpenAI-Oracle "Stargate" data center. The people said NO. Two days later? The billionaire-backed developer sued. The tiny township (budget $1M) couldn't afford the legal war... so they caved and settled. Now the bulldozers are rolling over farmland while the town treasurer resigned in tears over death threats. This isn't development. This is corporate conquest. Big Tech doesn't ask. They sue until you break. Your town could be next. When corporations can override a 4-1 local vote with lawyers and cash, do we still live in a democracy? How many more family farms get paved for AI server farms before we say enough? Why do billionaires get to force their "future" on rural America while draining our water and power grids? What would the Founding Fathers do if corporations treated towns like this? Watch this town fight... and lose. Retweet if you're done with corporate rule. Comment your town below... are data centers coming for you too? Let me know what you think, and SHARE THIS so that others may too. And if you're not already following @TrueOnX... What the heck are you doing?!

OMG The RIO GRANDE RIVER is DRY? We need to END AI before it ENDS HUMANITY.
🚨BREAKING: There is NO water in The Rio Grande?! I’m standing here in New Mexico and the river is completely DRY. Nearby AI data centers are consuming massive amounts of water to keep their systems cool. Meta’s Los Lunas facility alone has reportedly been tied to roughly 75 million gallons of water usage per year connected to Rio Grande resources and it’s only ONE of many projects expanding across the state. People can argue over the exact numbers, but one thing is undeniable… these facilities require enormous amounts of water and there are more data centers across the country being built as we speak. This is starting to look like an environmental disaster in plain sight. We need to put pressure on local representatives and the President to examine this environmental crisis before it’s too late.

Say NO to DATA Centers.
Mark Zuckerberg built a MASSIVE data center in Georgia Just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Water pressure collapsed. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are common A billionaire gets his servers — working families get steamrolled.

"The companies building AI are telling investors it saves money. The companies using AI are finding out it costs more than the humans it was supposed to replace. And even the company that makes the chips just admitted it through its own VP."
May 24
Microsoft just banned its own engineers from using AI. The tool was literally costing MORE than the humans it was supposed to replace. They lied to you about AI adoption and now the whole narrative is blowing up: Microsoft gave thousands of engineers access to Claude Code six months ago and encouraged them to use it. Engineers loved it and adoption exploded. But then the invoices arrived. Token-based pricing means every query, every code review, every debugging session costs money. At scale across 100,000 engineers, the numbers became so large that Microsoft issued an internal order to cancel nearly all Claude Code licenses by end of June and force everyone onto their own cheaper tool instead. The company that invested $5 billion in Anthropic just told its own people to stop using Anthropic's product because it costs too much. Uber's story is even worse... Their CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga told The Information that the budget he planned for the full year was "blown away already" by April. Uber had rolled out Claude Code in December 2025. By March, 84% of their 5,000 engineers were using it with 70% of all committed code coming from AI systems. Heavy users were burning $500 to $2,000 per month each. Naga himself spent $1,200 in a single two-hour demo session. The company had even built internal leaderboards ranking engineers by how much AI they used. They literally gamified the spending and then ran out of money. Now look at what Nvidia's own VP of applied deep learning Bryan Catanzaro said to Axios last month. Direct quote: "For my team, the cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees." This is a VP at the company that SELLS the chips saying that using AI is more expensive than paying humans. Think about what this means for the entire AI narrative. Every CEO on every earnings call for the past two years has said the same thing: AI will make us more efficient, reduce headcount, and cut costs. The stock market rewarded every company that said it. Fired workers, stock goes up. Announced AI adoption, stock goes up. But the actual companies deploying AI at scale are discovering the math doesn't work. The MORE employees use AI, the HIGHER the bill. Goldman Sachs forecasts a 24x increase in token consumption by 2030 as companies adopt AI agents. Gartner just published a report showing that even though individual token prices will drop 90% by 2030, total enterprise AI costs will go UP because agents consume exponentially more tokens per task than basic tools. Meta built an internal dashboard called "Claudeonomics" to track which employees use the most AI. Amazon started pushing engineers to "tokenmaxx," their internal term for consuming as many AI tokens as possible. Both companies are spending hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure this year alone. And Microsoft, the company that bet its entire future on AI, just told 100,000 engineers to stop using the tool they liked best because the per-token bills got out of control. The companies building AI are telling investors it saves money. The companies using AI are finding out it costs more than the humans it was supposed to replace. And even the company that makes the chips just admitted it through its own VP. This is the gap nobody on Wall Street is pricing in. $725 billion in AI infrastructure spending this year across Big Tech. And the first companies to actually deploy these tools at scale are already pulling back because the economics don't work. What do you think?

The first thing that creates an emotion for your brand is it's logo. In a more simple way, this also applies to the cover page of your screenplay. Each one has it's own unique feel and that helps make the human connection. And it's all about connection. #design #screenwriting

My Tuesday began like a rocket and it's kept going full speed. No doubt I'll be crashing later if I don't get my morning coffee before late afternoon. My next purchase will be my own grinder. Any recommendations? #scriptsky #coffeegrinder
