“This week, the Trump administration’s long-promised revival of “clean, beautiful coal” collapsed in plain sight. A federal coal auction in Montana drew exactly one bid: just $186,000 for 167 million tons of coal.
That’s not a typo.“ 👏

Oh what’s that? They will depreciate at roughly 3 times the rate previously touted and require constant replacement and 2-3x the revenue to match initial expenditure?

AI Data Centers Are an Even Bigger Disaster Than Previously Thought

An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.

The NAR's practice of "spiritual warfare" is a not-so-thinly-veiled call for physical violence, as political opponents are identified with demons, or even identified AS demons. Hence their special spin on the story of Esther.

What’s usually left unsaid

Event organizers say that the Washington rally was just “the starting line. Now it’s time to mobilize.” And by mobilize, they mean going “global with this Esthers movement!”

As I noted last year, however, urging Christian women to reimagine themselves as the biblical figure of Esther is “an implied call for physical violence against perceived enemies.” While various Christian and Jewish traditions draw different meanings from the story of Esther (usually celebrating her role in saving her people), NAR leaders highlight the part about the annihilation of enemies, which is typically left out.

I’m happy to see the frogs have refused to just stay in the boiling pot and have hit the street

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Yeah, it’s frustrating as hell. On that note, I’ve wanted to say I admire your patience trying to explain things to those people. I don’t have that kind of patience. I appreciate what you are doing here 🙏
