Fungal infection outbreak shakes Tennessee

A dangerous fungal infection, histoplasmosis, is spreading in Middle Tennessee, leaving one person dead and over 30 others sick. What’s alarming is that this fungus is common in our soil—especially around bird or bat droppings—so avoiding it isn’t easy. Some folks, like 14-year-old Eli Stinson, faced months of mysterious illness before getting the right diagnosis. Health officials haven’t pinpointed the exact source, and the CDC warns it’s often misdiagnosed. If you’re gardening, cleaning old buildings, or working with soil, consider wearing a mask. How concerned are you about everyday risks like this in our community? #Health #BodyHealth #Tennessee

From Space to Silicon: xAI’s ‘MACROHARD’ Roof Marker Signals Massive Datacenter Expansion in Tennessee” “Satellite images have revealed a bold message atop xAI’s Colossus 2 datacenter in Tennessee — the word ‘MACROHARD’ painted across the roof, a symbolic wink toward Microsoft that’s visible from space. Behind the humor is serious infrastructure. The Colossus 2 campus is rapidly scaling, with power and cooling systems expanding alongside construction. Reports indicate the site is moving toward ~400 MW of active capacity, with new gas turbines and cooling towers already being installed. Even more significant, xAI is building on a foundation that paves the way for over 2 GW of potential IT capacity in the future, backed by permitted infrastructure, ordered hardware, and on-site generation plans. The message from the rooftop may be playful — but the growth underneath it is anything but. #xAI #DataCenters #AIInfrastructure #TechnologyNews #ElonMusk #Tennessee #CloudComputing #BigTech
