    A newly built AI data center in New Mexico is reportedly drawing far more water from a drought stressed region than the company's own public estimates suggested it would, straining a community that welcomed the project mainly for its promised jobs - The Blog Herald (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    Why does the public water figure for a single data center keep changing, and why does it only ever seem to go up? It’s a question worth asking plainly, before getting into any of the technical explanations offered for it, because the pattern itself tells you something the explanations often don’t. That’s the question hanging over Project Jupiter, a roughly 1,400-acre data center development from Oracle and OpenAI going up in Doña Ana County, in the southern New Mexico desert near the Texas borde

    MLive announced in September 2026 that it will end print production entirely for eight of its Michigan newspapers, shifting those communities to digital only coverage after years of steadily declining print subscriptions across the whole state - The Blog Herald (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    Start with what “digital-only” actually means here, because it’s easy to hear that phrase and picture a newsroom shutting its lights off. That isn’t what’s happening. MLive announced on September 2, 2026 that eight of its papers, the Ann Arbor News, the Grand Rapids Press, the Flint Journal, the Jackson Citizen Patriot, the Bay City Times, the Kalamazoo Gazette, the Muskegon Chronicle, and the Saginaw News, will stop printing after their final editions on December 6, 2026. The newsroom staff cov

    An AI company built specifically to replace vanishing local reporters in news deserts nationwide shut its entire operation down in 2026 after journalists discovered it had been copying, nearly word for word, stories those same reporters had already written - The Blog Herald (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    In April 2026, a company called Nota took down all eleven of its AI-generated local news sites within a matter of days, after local journalists started noticing something familiar in Nota’s coverage. Their own reporting. Nota had pitched itself as a fix for the news desert problem, using data from Northwestern’s Medill School to pick counties with thin or vanished local coverage, from California to Georgia, and building AI-written sites there instead. The pitch was that a community losing its la

    Less than one in three Google searches actually sends a visitor to someone else's website anymore — here's what that 2026 number means if your blog still lives on search traffic - The Blog Herald (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I’ll admit something that doesn’t show up on any bio page. Several times a day, across half a dozen browser tabs, I check traffic dashboards. Not out of anxiety exactly, more out of a habit built over years of managing content where visitor count is the number that tells us whether the work landed. That’s an ordinary, slightly boring confession, and it’s exactly why a stat like this one stopped me mid-scroll instead of sliding past. The number is 68.01 percent. That’s the share of Google searche

    In 2007, a 107-year-old Australian woman who could no longer type began dictating a blog about surviving two world wars and the Great Depression, and kept posting until two weeks before she died at 108 - The Blog Herald (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    In 2007, at 107 years old, an Australian woman named Olive Riley started keeping a blog. She could no longer manage a keyboard herself, so she talked, and somebody else typed. A friend introduced her to the idea that year, and the arrangement stuck: Riley would dictate, someone else would post, and the words that went up online were entirely her own. She had been born in 1899, two years before Federation gave Australia the borders and the government it still has. That birth year put the First Wo
