Farmers and small business owners were promised financial help for energy upgrades. They're still waiting for the money.
Farmers and rural business owners were promised federal dollars for energy upgrades. With funds frozen, some are left holding the bills.

Thank you, @ejreports.bsky.social for localizing this story. "'A private company’s not going to put a gauge on the Ogeechee River or on Lazaretto Creek,' Watson said, naming two smaller waterways on Georgia’s coast. For nearby residents, though, such gauges are critical in the event of a flood."

I do think it's incredibly unfair that Instagram for MONTHS relentlessly fed me ads about the Importance of Being Earnest with Ncuti Gatwa and Hugh Skinner showing in US theaters but then none of those theaters turned out to be near me

Georgia was about to retire coal plants. Then came the data centers.
Utilities nationwide are falling back on fossil fuels to meet huge energy demand.

Georgia was going to retire its coal plants, but then the data centers arrived. AI is pushing energy providers back to fossil fuels.

Last time the Eagles made the Super Bowl, my Amoroso's order arrived late and I was forced to serve roast pork and broccoli rabe on Publix rolls. This time, it has arrived early so I am forced to freeze the rolls.
This is obviously a good omen, right?

Very important I think to transfer one of my main fixations to this platform: HOW ON EARTH were they POWERING the international criminal operation data center aboard the luxury cruise ship on the Mandy Patinkin cruise ship murder show?!

Is the deputy mayor of Bob's Burgers Town (is it called Wagstaff? Unclear) full of crap or does this show not take place where I think it does because both New Jersey and New York are one-party consent stages for recording

There's a point late every workday when I get up to get water or go to the bathroom or something but because it's late in the afternoon, my dog thinks we're signing off and going for a walk. He gets up and stretches and then when I sit back down he's SO sad. The worst.
