🇮🇹 In Trieste, Italy, an illegal migrant was filmed sexually assaulting a woman in broad daylight right on the street The migrant pinned an Italian woman down while she screamed for help. Police are still trying to identify the assailant.

🚨BREAKING: Delta Dental calls itself a "nonprofit" for the tax breaks, while its CEOs raked in $48 MILLION over four years. Her pay jumped from $4.5M to $15M a year. Meanwhile, they slashed dentist reimbursements and patients paid more. This is how "nonprofits" game the system.

Dumb Mammals that think we are going to do great things with building this AKLNG pipeline as is currently your being played. If you don’t got some kind of documentation for me your speculating at best until this becomes publicly available, it’s all FAKE and GAY. Building a pipeline could deliver long-term affordable gas to Alaskans. TRUE I support North Slope gas development and getting gas to market. The question isn’t whether the pipe is good in theory; it’s whether the current structure actually guarantees affordable, reliable gas for us first, or whether we’re being asked to bet on rhetoric and future promises from a private developer whose Phase 2 is built for export to Asia. The info the public knows right now the public record shows: • Glenfarne/8 Star Alaska (75% private, 25% state via AGDC) has signed Gas Sales Precedent Agreements with the big producers (ConocoPhillips 30-year deal announced May 2026, plus ExxonMobil, Hilcorp, Pantheon). Those secure upstream supply for Phase 1 (the 739-mile in-state pipeline). Good step. • For the actual local buyers (ENSTAR, the main utility that serves most Alaskans): only a non-binding Letter of Intent for a 30-year supply. It still needs definitive contracts + Regulatory Commission of Alaska approval. No signed deal, no locked-in price, no guaranteed tariff. • Older AGDC proposals talked about preferential terms (priority over exports, price no higher than what the LNG facility itself pays). Those have not been publicly confirmed as binding under the new Glenfarne-led structure. Without the executed, binding contracts that spell out the delivered price to Alaskan utilities/residential customers, priority supply rules, and protections against the project later favoring higher-paying export markets, we’re speculating. The project openly says Phase 1 is for domestic needs “first,” then Phase 2 adds the Nikiski LNG export terminal for Asian buyers (Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand already have preliminary offtake interest). That’s why the financing and investor returns are tied to the export side. I’m not against the project. I’m against taking the public record at face value when the downstream contracts that actually protect Alaskans wallets still don’t exist in final form. Show us the executed utility supply agreements with firm pricing and priority language, and I’ll celebrate with you. Until then, skepticism isn’t “anti-industry” it’s asking for the same documentation any logical person would want before we lock in decades of energy costs. Happy to read the actual contracts if they’re out there. Links?

Even as other cities transform their skylines, Anchorage's hasn't changed in 20 years. This is what happens when local government is dominated by anti-building NIMBYs fixated on blocking new housing and development.
