Just sit back and let this roll around in your mind … what was a toll free passage through the SoH may now be millions per ship … used to pay for infrastructure the US & Israel blew up .. a long term tax/dead weight loss on the global economy. With probably some corruption for fun.

“Worse than Nixon”

The Lions will not take Proctor when Miller is still there. I'm of the belief that they are 100% locked in to Miller (or Freeling if he falls), and it's a matter of how far down they can trade and still get him. He is everything that Dan Campbell wants.

More on three-time Pro Bowl DT Dexter Lawrence requesting a trade from the New York Giants:

Modeling shows that a system with at least 40% clean firm capacity can live with less transmission and batteries. That does not mean renewables can't be a substantial 60% of the grid. That distinction has been muddled for years. And it matters a lot.

One of the most persistent myths in energy is that high-renewables grids require months or even years of backup to survive “dunkelflaute” — those rare periods of low wind and solar output. That claim is often far more ideology than analysis. www.energyintel.com/00000194-848...

The current estimated cost to connect San Francisco and Los Angeles by high-speed rail is $126 billion, says Anthony Williams, a California High-Speed Rail Authority board member. Can the project succeed without federal funding? cbsn.ws/4t54eHO

NFL GM: Leo is still a member of the team

Kaleb Proctor is a DT prospect in the 2026 draft class. He scored a 9.14 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 196 out of 2270 DT from 1987 to 2026. ras.football/ras-informat...

Markham just lost $7.36 million of their $58.8M (12.5%) federal Housing Accelerator funding for violating their requirement to legalize fourplexes. Not massive, but honestly, a bigger cut than I thought it would be.

I'm still baffled Skydance Animation is still doing this stupid gimmick of crediting Lasseter as the "creative visionary of Toy Story" to sell their films after it failed to sell the last two films and knowing it's just obnoxious. Also, it doesn't make the film look any better.

I think this is my favourite interview with Stephen Lewis. It's 12 yrs ago, & we spoke about Pres. John F. Kennedy on the 50th anniversary of his assassination, because Lewis had debated Kennedy at UofT, & JFK helped get Lewis elected: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqxX... #onpoli #uspoli
