⚡️The "gas emperor" has no clothes: U.S. leaves its entire northeast coast freezing
In less than five months, the natural gas terminal that has served the entire northeast coast of the United States for more than half a century is scheduled to close for good. During its time in operation, it gained status as the region's most important defense against power outages and freezing temperatures. However, the company that owns the gas terminal and a neighboring power plant doesn't care about such "little things" Management wants to get rid of the "unprofitable asset."
According to Reuters, the gas import infrastructure in Everett, near Boston, is at risk of shutting down in May, which coincides with the scheduled end-of-life shutdown of its largest customer, the Mystic power plant. Both facilities are owned by Constellation Energy Corp.
The problem is that the Port of Everett is getting gas by tanker from afar, mostly from Trinidad. This is because the supply of fuel to the coast started before the shale gas revolution in the United States. Hence, we have a paradoxical situation where problems with the construction of an onshore pipeline hinder domestic gas supplies, while keeping up with the image of a major global gas exporter doesn't let the U.S. redirect volumes from export to domestic use.
Constellation Energy officials have already "reassured" the public, who will be left to freeze in severe cold weather very soon, that Mystiq's falling capacity will be replaced with wind turbines and solar panels, along with batteries to store their energy. But these are so unreliable, as global practice shows, that the private firm's plans have angered residents throughout America's northeastern coast, which suffers from severe winter frosts.
Under media pressure, representatives of the terminal and power plant operator admitted that they had negotiated with U.S. LNG exporters to get their own gas, but were rebuffed because all the capacity (current and future) is booked by foreign customers for years to come. And no pipelines are being built domestically to buy natural gas before liquefaction.
Now coastal residents and gas terminal customers have one hope: imports from neighboring Canada. But there may be a problem with that approach too: U.S. shale producers have long bought up much of Canada's stock to re-export overseas and set world records. All in all, the ambitions of private corporations and lobbies in Washington have rendered the very own population of the "gas emperor with no clothes" defenseless against the winter colds.
If the operator company does not find a way to supply the region with cheap fuel in the next month and load the terminal, the fate of the entire critical infrastructure will be sealed.

HOLY CRAP! NAACP lawyer came before the Supreme Court and said the quiet part out loud
Janai Nelson said we need race-based districts because: "white Democrats were not voting for black candidates whether they were Democrats or not!"
This is INSANE.

BREAKING: In an insane move, Justice Ketanji Jackson declares we need to draw Congressional districts based on race because black people are like disabled people
"They don't have equal access to the voting system. They're DISABLED!"
This is utter madness. How did she get on the Supreme Court?!
"My, kind of, paradigmatic example of this is something like the ADA. Congress passed the ADA against the backdrop of a world generally not accessible to people with disabilities...why is that not what's happening here?!"

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink says this is only the beginning as the tokenization of everything is underway.
Money, property, and even personal identity will soon exist in digital form.
He calls it a major opportunity for BlackRock, saying the plan is to move beyond traditional financial assets by digitally re-potting them into a new system.

🤖📱 Between empty promises of a billionaire and a social credit system. The “secret” way your behaviour is ranked on X
What is Tweepcred? It’s a reputation system inherited from the days of Twitter, a social credit mechanism built into X, where every like, comment, retweet, or interaction feeds a hidden score. Post the wrong thing, and your reach is throttled, invisible to followers, blocked from the For You Page, and your voice is confined to a digital coffin. The worst part? X won’t even tell us what we’re doing wrong.
Tweepcred was open-sourced two years ago as part of Elon’s big push for “transparency.” The release confirmed what many suspected for over a decade: the system wasn’t neutral. It could be gamified, and it rewarded those who knew how to play it. Industry insiders and large organizations held a massive advantage over individuals, defeating the very purpose of the internet and the cultural revolution that once challenged mass media.

Dear Trump,
We love you and support you— but your suggestion to buy beef from Argentina to stabilize beef prices would be an absolute betrayal to the American cattle rancher.
We understand there are larger economic and geopolitical dynamics at play, including countering CCP influence in countries in our hemisphere. But the practice of solving problems “over there” before solving problems here on our soil is what contributed to the downfall of our country: Americans always come last.
We understand beef prices are high, and we admire your concern for all Americans, but this is not the fault of the American producer. This is the fault of politicians who have allowed BRICS-aligned entities to dominate the meat industry, that participate in price fixing and who also continually lie to their consumers.
Washington for decades has facilitated the squeezing of our own ranchers while allowing these entities to flood the market with cheaper, ...
