A report published today by ENTSO-E seems to rule out either a Russian cyberattack or renewable energy as being the cause of April's blackout in 🇪🇸Spain & 🇵🇹Portugal.

Instead, it was a perfect storm of coincidences following a not uncommon oscillation.
Neither Russia nor renewables caused the Iberian blackout - report
The right blamed it on wind turbines and the left blamed it on a Russian cyberattack. But an expert panel had concluded that it was actually the first-ever blackout caused by overvoltage.

The only good thing about the ongoing disintegration of the US is that it's been happening slowly enough for other countries to adjust economically and politically.

Dear young men,

I've been married to an amazing woman for nearly 23 years, now. Here is a list of things this person owes me:

1. Not a goddamn thing. Not food, not comfort, not sex.

I'm in a relationship, not a fucking lease. We give to each other out of love, respect, and joy.

Learn that.

Unquestionably the most dangerous and corrupt attack on the independence of US economic data in American history. Trump is firing the head of the BLS, a longtime civil servant confirmed 86-8 by the Senate, simply because the job numbers came in below his expectations today
I was just informed that our Country’s “Jobs Numbers” are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under “TRUMP” despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting “Kamala” elected – How did that work out? Jerome “Too Late” Powell should also be put “out to pasture.” Thank you for your attention to this matter!

No she shouldn't. If we can't afford taxes to pay for the NHS then we can't afford charges either. And if we can't afford a decent state pension then we can't afford private ones. There's no magic money tree.

The first privately developed U.S. nuclear enrichment facility is going to be built in Paducah, Kentucky at the site of a former nuclear fuel plant.

The US government is now allowing a private citizen to enrich uranium, aka nuclear bombs.

That private citizen is "destroy humanity" Peter Thiel.
