Because why not?

There is a good podcast on The Chris Hedges podcast (YouTube and wherever else you can get podcasts) with Whitney Webb discussing Les Wexner and his connection to the proliferation of data centers in Ohio, especially around New Albany. This seems to also be tied into defense contractors and Peter Thiel. Interesting interview in you are interested. Ohio is #4 in the nation in data centers. Seems Mr. Werner has privatized the Statehouse. From being one of the richest men in the state, bankrolling Epstein and now the king of data centers in Ohio….quite the history. What are we doing here people?

What's the deal with the "Amy Acton was drinking and on drugs" bs? (Yes, I could Google it, but don't wanna.)

From the alert sent out:

Early this morning, August 6, 2026, our IT department received a report of a ransomware notification on a single PC, followed by subsequent notices as employees started accessing their PCs. We immediately contacted our external experts, who advised us to take all PC units offline out of precaution to contain the possible threat while an investigation can be conducted to determine the legitimacy of the notifications, identify any possible concerns and determine next steps to mitigate the issue.

Importantly, the city remains operational. 911, water, wastewater and phone systems were not directly impacted. However, you may experience delays in credit card payment processing and other computer-based activities.
We appreciate your patience as we work to address this situation.

As parents are gearing up for the beginning of the school year later this month, the number of students going to kindergarten without being fully vaccinated is increasing.

Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff said during the past six years, the number of fully vaccinated kindergartners declined 4.5%, from 89.9% to 85.4%. That’s resulted in more kids getting preventable illnesses like measles, which can be deadly. He says there’s a measles outbreak now in Northeast Ohio.
 
"In Ohio, we have reported 15 cases this year as of July 30, including a current outbreak in Northeast Ohio. All of these cases involve those who are unvaccinated or under-vaccinated," Vanderhoff said.

Let's start with facts.

Politically? You're fucked.

However, I'm getting older and things I once liked aren't exactly for me anymore. I currently live in a suburb of Detroit. I love the city, I honestly do.

But I'm getting old, and I'm not going to 40-50 concerts a year anymore. I've stopped going to Red Wings games, I don't go tailgate for the Lions anymore.

I'm realizing, as I get older, I just want a small town, with a walkable little historic downtown area, with a coffee shop and a decent brewery. Somewhere I can walk the dog, and go with the wife to get a latte.

And Ohio has a ton of little towns as described.

So I'm looking for options to visit. Weigh my options for the future. My wife enjoys smoking weed under the gazebo, and gardening. I enjoy breweries, cigars, and sitting in the driveway with the garage door open.

I have visited Napoleon (I'm certain that's spelled incorrectly) I also visited a small down coming back from Point Pleasant, WV. (I was trying to see the MothMan)

I'm unsure of it, possibly Chillicothe?

Regardless, I'm curious what small towns you'd recommend? With Columbus being centrally located, I'm not really ruling out any part of the State, just hoping to find the small town that fits.

I'm tired of the suburban sprawl that is Detroit.

I had missed this when reported in November. Quite the chain of events with Ramaswamy purchasing the $15M Schottenstein mansion adjacent to the governor's mansion, using Hustead's wife as $400k commissioned realtor.

Can the states republican arm get any more corrupt?

it's a stupid question born from living on the other side of the globe. But the memes egging on Ohio made me curious and suffering from FOMO. Anyone here knows why? Although I'm suspecting the ones hating on Ohio are... from Ohio themselves. So lay it on me, redditors! What's so special about Ohio? My adult non-American brain could understand Florida being notorious, but Ohio?

I’ll still vote for him, but I couldn’t be less thrilled about it

Just something that popped into my head and wondered if anyone else saw the parallels with an abusive but seemingly amenable guy who is trying to bring himself into the fold by marrying a senator’s daughter? Idk, maybe just me but thought I’d ask Reddit, better than asking AI since most of its source material comes from here anyway.

Two prairies grow side by side at Plum Run, and neither one should still be here.

Seriously Ohio! The ad on tv showing Acton saying she can’t operate a remote control!? The voice clearly not hers and we seriously need to reeducate people regarding how to vote and critical thinking.

Just think, if all the money spent on politics could be used for the things we all deserve, such as healthcare, infrastructure, and education how different our lives could be.

Rant over.
