A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear: “It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

After so many artists backed out, God has stepped in as the great dramatist, architect, musician, painter, and dedicator of the 250th.

The antidote for brain rot is going back to reading longer formats: books, essays. Reading will help you rebuild your focus and attention span.

Satanic. Horrifying.

Getting close to topping out second building. It’s been tough. First month me and our Dir of Arch and Cons were on site daily 7:30am - 7:30pm with masons. 4 weeks straight. Had to lay stones for them, correct small details, put up leads—had to act as lead mason, essentially. Now our Superintendent and Field Tech know how to do these things which has freed me back up. But we are having to hold masons hands the whole way. We were supposed to be going faster with 2 simultaneous crews going, but 2nd crew got scared of trying. Along with 10 other crews. We’ve rearranged schedule to make up some time elsewhere, but ultimately it’ll just be 6 weeks slower than we’d planned. On development side we’re okay; still going through equity, no bank debt yet so no unplanned interest. We’re in budget. And it’s looking freaking amazing—and word is getting out on lease up. But, this isn’t for the faint of heart. I get asked all the time “how to do this”. I tell most people don’t try. Unless you are really, really committed, and are willing to blow up your schedule and work 80 hour weeks just to keep it on track. Thankfully I have an amazing team and we are that committed. My goal is to make it easier over time. Train more masons, clear documented systems, etc. But when innovating, it is hard—and you have to make up for a lot with sheer effort. It’ll make the final product all the sweeter, knowing what went into it.

We took Erin Brockovich's map of every data center in America. Then we laid the nation's aquifers on top of it. We noticed they're not building data centers where the land is cheap. They're building them where the water is. Farmers near these facilities say their livestock have stopped falling pregnant. Residents say the humming never stops. And the projects arrive under NDAs, so most towns don't know until the ground is already broken. The question isn’t where they’re building anymore. It’s why they’re building where they’re building. Tonight, we think we can answer that question. We’ve been covering the data center issue in great detail on this broadcast, and for good reason. It’s a serious problem in America and worldwide, and it’s one that is uniting people from all sides of the political aisle because, guess what, whether you are a conservative or a liberal, you have human rights that enable you to have access to basic survival needs like water, which was given to us by God, not by the state or Big Tech, by the way. Erin Brockovich joined the data center fight recently. She launched a site including a map that shows data centers either completed, under construction, planned, or community reported, likely due to all those pesky NDAs in place stopping us from knowing they’re coming to our area. But the public isn’t stupid. So Maria thought she’d do something a little bit different. She created a series of maps using Erin Brockovich’s data center data, then superimposed aquifer maps onto those maps, then superimposed smart city locations onto those maps. What Maria found was pretty mind-blowing and, she says, lends credence to her theory that those in charge are purposely making rural areas unlivable for the purpose of pushing people into smart cities, where they will be under constant surveillance and on a short leash.

I'm seeing my feed flooded with posts about Europeans realizing that they were lied to about America. The consensus of their posts is that America is safer, more prosperous, and more welcoming than they were told. This might be the most powerful effect of the World Cup.
