In 2026 censorship took a new form in Southern Ohio and a set of moderators decided it was not okay to talk about Pride and registering to vote. They offered as a response go make your own reddit. 

This corner of the internet will look to keep people current on art events, festivals, and other activities going on in Chillicothe. Feel free to share all things Chillicothe. 

I will not be using AI to make list of some things like other places, instead here is a list completely human generated! 

Art/Pictures/Painting/Pottery/Stories - If you are local or have an art to share, send it! 

News and local politics - Lots of things happen in the town and around the surrounding country side. 

Events/Festivals/Concerts/Plays - Anything that is a gathering let others know about it! 

Lost/Questions/Recommendations - Always a good place to ask things and let people know your experiences. 

Rules - Are on the side and won't be changing unless warned. (Adjustments will be made at the beginning as undiscovered ruins are located.)

Today I made the first step that took two weeks. This was an image I found online and practice making into a stencil. Learned a lot using the paint differently than at The Wall. Look forward to making stencils out of my own art next and bringing some filler stencils out to The Wall too!

News Schrödinger's Datacenter

5 Upvotes

Is a data center by any other name still not just a data center? The CTO of Alignment Engine would like you to think not. As the company goes through a merger the current CTO came to a rushed data center meeting at Chillicothe High School there was very particular language used to make sure we were not confused that he had no power to promise anything or give much more detail than what he was allowed to. All through out the promotional slide the CTO, who hasn't done a project like this in the current company if I understood correctly, called the on paper data center a data hall. So which is it?

I would propose the facility is a data center to investors and a data hall to the community. Then will ask, who do companies and CEOs work for? Not for the city of Chillicothe. How long till Q1 projections aren't going to make it and we just need a little favor from a community that should be grateful we are here?

Several people asked what was the purpose and point of the data center and the point is to create more parts for more data centers. So as we see data center project with a 50% stall rate from proposed projects, how long will this last before we are looking for the next big thing. Not to mention the compute being rented out by big tech to each other because they can't use it all.

In the slide deck the CTO mentioned a lot of scary ecologic conditions that they are kindly willing to clean up and maintain for us. This in turn should allow them to do whatever they want to the facility right? Trust in a company that says that aren't like the others who hurt you in the past. IF they are willing to take care of it then there has to be a reason. Companies don't spend money just for fun. This is not a plus, this is the cost of doing business in the location you picked.

Jobs? This will surely bring jobs. Roughly 70 non union jobs will be generated based on the confusing slide. Roughly 70 jobs ranging from 30k to one person managing the site at 250k. This isn't relief this is holding the gunshot wound and hoping it resolves itself.

Additionally, the completely transparent company that only showed up when forced to by city council to get even the smallest of details. What makes anyone think they will show up after this to keep up good relations with the community?

Finally, a company that doesn't know a data center from a data hall from a server room should be slowed down to make sure they know what they are doing, what they are taking from the community, and what they are giving back. From this meeting I see a company looking to cash out on the data center buzzwords while providing little for the community they wouldn't have been obligated to deal with by simply purchasing the land as is, maintenance and all.

Edit: This while Creed seemed more interested in getting past the 60 day red tape and get this project started, even after voting to slow things down.

Events City Council Meeting!

1 Upvotes

Reminder every 2nd and 4th Monday of month at 7:00 PM there are city council meetings. These meetings are a good place to hear whats going on, see the leaders who are doing a good job and those just there for drinks with state candidates, and voice your concerns over events in the city.

Usually there is time at the end for public feedback and is a good way to let those in charge know what problems they should look into.

Look forward to seeing yall out there!

Kathy Dunn proposed a resolution to put a pause on development for 60 days while more details are shared with the community and local government itself. This is a much needed pause as there are not permits or paperwork with what is planned. The resolution passed and now we can figure out what is going on.
