Melbourne PSA: avoid driving through tunnels under train tracks. And if you're parked in the street, especially where blocked drains and flash flooding are a risk, maybe check your car is high and dry. (This is in Caulfield about 5 mins ago.)

Same Gaza town, below: www.google.com/maps/@31.304.... This is not aerial bombardment; there are no bomb craters. IDF sappers systematically entered every private home, placed demolition charges, and exploded them.
Tal as Sultan, far southern Gaza, February 2026. Every house here is demolished, now just a neat pile of rubble -- thousands of them. No bomb craters at all are visible, indicating that this was not done by aerial bombardment.

Money doesn’t just buy comfort in America. It buys time. Expected age at death rises steadily with household income, with the richest living roughly a decade longer than the poorest.

This might be one of the funniest chart about energy scenarios I’ve seen. You can hardly see “actual” for gas
Winners and Losers
The IEA overestimated gas growth in Asia and underestimated solar

Gas
• Forecast 547 TWh
• Actual 17 TWh

Solar
• Forecast 465 TWh
• Actual 1,333 TWh

Note: Shows expected growth in Asian power generation between 2018 and 2025, based on actual 2018 generation, actual 2025 generation, and the 2018 World Energy Outlook's Current Policies Scenario estimates for 2025. Actual 2025 generation figures are from Ember.

“To switch on that one data center, we would need to shut off power for half the country,” he said of the project. “That’s when I knew there was a problem.” www.semafor.com/article/05/0...

The proposed site for the data center in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley. Donwilson Odhiambo/Semafor.
A $1 billion geothermal-powered data center project in Kenya by Microsoft and UAE’s G42 is unlikely to go ahead after President William Ruto blamed inadequate power capacity for its stalling.

Semafor reported in September that the once-hyped project had stalled, with developers yet to break ground and questions mounting on its future. Ruto said last week that Kenya was forced to reconsider the plans after learning that it would require a third of the country’s total installed capacity of around 3,000 megawatts. “To switch on that one data center, we would need to shut off power for half the country,” he said of the project. “That’s when I knew there was a problem.”

Ruto had first announced plans for the facility during a state visit to Washington in May 2024. Orchestrated by the Biden administration, Microsoft and G42 originally promised to invest in the site ​​around 60 miles (100 kilometers) northwest of Nairobi to provide government and business cloud services on the US tech giant’s Azure cloud computing platform. They said it would run on geothermal power — which accounts for around 40% of Kenya’s energy mix — a sustainable source of baseload power that was seen as an advantage.
