🚨JUST IN: Reuters: Iran ordered Houthis to block Bab al-Mandeb Strait if Trump carries out his threats and attacks power plants





Fascinating to see the "every dead Gazan is morally a civilian because Israel shouldn't exist anyway" crowd suddenly get super interested in carving out of a fast-moving deliberate massacre of civilians the short-lived moments when combatants were being killed and demanding they be recognized as morally distinct events. Oh, and how dare Israel claim combatant deaths are legitimate! No, they don't actually believe any of it.

Kathy Hochul’s AI Protection Racket New York dismantled the power supply needed for the AI economy, then turned the resulting shortage into a new source of political control and revenue. In 2021, the state shut down Indian Point, eliminating roughly 2,000 megawatts of reliable, carbon-free electricity that supplied about 25% of New York City and Westchester. Natural gas replaced much of the lost generation, emissions increased, and the grid surrendered one of its most dependable assets. Kathy Hochul was lieutenant governor when the closure was completed. She later admitted Indian Point was shut down “without having a Plan B in place.” She still opposes reopening it. The eventual replacement plan collapsed on schedule. Hochul promoted two transmission projects expected to power 2.5 million homes and offset Indian Point. The 175-mile Clean Path NY project was canceled. The remaining Canada-to-Queens line began operating in May 2026, five years after Indian Point closed. It supplies only 1,250 megawatts, barely three-fifths of Indian Point’s capacity, and failed twice during July. Albany eliminated 2,000 megawatts of dependable American nuclear power, abandoned half its replacement plan, waited five years to import a smaller amount of Canadian electricity, and then announced that New York lacked sufficient energy for the AI economy. Hochul’s solution is America’s first statewide moratorium on large data centers. The indefinite permitting freeze comes with bureaucratic reviews, union mandates, additional clean-energy requirements and a recommended payment of at least $1 million per megawatt. A 400-megawatt project could be pressured to surrender $400 million for childcare, housing programs, museums, electric-vehicle chargers and other progressive priorities unrelated to the electricity it consumes. Albany destroyed New York’s energy advantage and converted the wreckage into leverage. AI companies are now expected to finance the political machine for permission to build inside the energy crisis that machine created.









CEOs of the largest companies in America make 281 times what the typical worker makes. Since 1978, pay for these CEOs has skyrocketed 1,094%. Typical worker pay? 26%. So no, your $5 coffee isn’t why you can’t afford rent.

So many people I respect think of this guy as somehow an intellectual defender of the 'Israeli right', however, the unfortunate reality is that he functions as nothing more than a propagandist of the Israeli regime who is willing to lie about anything to protect Israel's reputation.







Translation: oops, didn’t realise people outside our ideological bubble are THIS pissed off about the loss of sex-based rights. We remain implacably opposed to any organisation fighting to retain them, but shove in the words ‘rights of women’ to keep the bigots happy.
