Pope Leo in address to World of Culture: โ€œThe problem does not lie in knowledge, but in its deviation toward an intelligence that no longer seeks to correspond to reality, but to bend it to its own measures, judging it according to the convenience of those who claim to know.โ€

Now that Iโ€™ve finally finished reading โ€˜Project Hail Maryโ€™ I can stop avoiding spoilers about the movie. And now I see it that itโ€™s staying in theaters longer and not streaming anytime soon as originally planned. Good for it, bad for me.

The City of Montreal must stand firm against Airbnb and its profiteers The City of Montreal must not cave to Airbnb or its profiteers, the same people who've been exacerbating the housing / affordability crises.

โ€œItโ€™s worth considering that Airbnb has encouraged Montreal landlords to pressure the city into reducing regulation on short-term rentals. The city must stand firm against Airbnb and its profiteers.

โ€œYou give an inch, they take a mile.โ€

This Data Center Is Getting a $77 Million Tax Break to Create One Job No other project in the country has gotten such a large subsidy to create so few jobs, according to watchdogs.

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks โ€” while only creating one permanent job.

One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.

Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clearโ€”reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.

Germany's coal exit quietly progressing, likely completed by 2032 โ€“ researcher | Clean Energy Wire Germany's coal phase-out is on track to happen through market forces well before the legal 2038 deadline, regardless of current energy market turbulence, says Hauke Hermann, a researcher at the Institute of Applied Ecology (ร–ko-Institut). Carbon price trends make an exit as early as 2031 or 2032 likely, Hermann told Clean Energy Wire. Refiring old coal plants in response to the Iran war's energy market shock to cut power costs would distort investment signals and is unlikely to happen in practice, he added.ย
