Utility CEO pay surges amid higher profits, customer struggles Investor-owned utilities paid their CEOs $622 million in 2025, lowering the bar for bonuses while customers struggled to afford bills.

Electricity bills are rising, customers are struggling, but guess who is doing just fine?

Spiegelman: Would you steal from the Louvre? Piker: Yes. Tolentino: I would not be logistically capable of executing such a fact, but would I cheer on every news story of people that I see doing it? Absolutely. Piker: I think it’s cool. We’ve got to get back to cool crimes like that: bank robberies, stealing priceless artifacts, things of that nature. I feel like that’s way cooler than the 7,000th new cryptocurrency scheme that people are engaging in.

This is so embarrassing for everyone involved

Satellite Data Reveal Scope and Scale of US-Israeli Strikes on Iran New data analysis shows the level of destruction in Tehran and across the Islamic Republic — and the heightened stakes of a return to all-out war.

Satellite imagery reveals that US has damaged or destroyed an estimated 7,645 buildings in Iran (including 60 schools) while killing at least 3,300 individuals since 28 Feb. Nearly 3,000 of those buildings were in Tehran

When they received the call to respond to an Israeli airstrike in the city of Mayfadoun, in southern Lebanon, most of the paramedics held back, having previously seen colleagues killed by double-tap attacks targeting rescuers. But the medics from the Islamic Health Association (IHA) rushed to the scene. By the time the other emergency workers arrived at the site, they found the IHA medics had indeed been caught in a second strike. They started evacuating their wounded colleagues, only for their ambulances to be hit in two further attacks. One of the paramedics covered his ears and screamed, convulsing in pain as shrapnel shattered the back window of the ambulance. The rescue mission on Wednesday afternoon had turned into a nightmare as Israel carried out three consecutive strikes on three sets of ambulances and medical workers.

Israel performed a literal quadruple tap attack in Lebanon to massacre three separate sets of medics.

Truly pushing the bounds of human depravity.

Erie’s mineral rights: what’s at stake - Yellow Scene Magazine In late 2025, a proposal from Civitas Resources brought an often-overlooked asset to the center of one of Erie’s most consequential policy debates: the town’s mineral rights. The limited transparency ...

Erie’s possible mineral rights sale raises a bigger question: what happens after towns sell them?

“I can’t sleep because of our own situation,” Ms. Uccello, 49, said over coffee on a recent afternoon. “I can’t sleep because of what I know what’s happening around the world. I can’t sleep because my former colleagues and friends are also suffering.”

I was not prepared to live in times of such cowardice.

This is insultingly pathetic from the guy who was obsessed about Presidential senility two long years ago and couldn’t give a shit now for some inexplicable reason.

I keep saying "no one is at home" and this is what I mean. I do not know what is happening in practice here but judging just from the website, this place is a ghost town.

When FEMA fails big it will largely be because the Trump admin has hollowed out the agency.

It’s a telling indicator of media desensitization that the US government’s ongoing program of murder on the high seas—which according to the perpetrators has killed fourteen (14) people this week— is no longer a subject for much serious or sustained news coverage.
