#WATCH: Israeli passengers rush the cockpit to rescue their Flydubai flight after the copilot attempted to hijack it.

Here on vacation from Israel. Spent a month chatting with what he thought was a 15-year old boy. Sent photos of his erect penis to said child. Had additional unrelated CSAM on his phone. What's different though? Did you notice? Something is off here. Did you notice the complete lack of remorse or shame? Usually when one of these freaks gets caught, they at least appear unsettled. This man isn't ashamed. In fact, he actually appears to be SMIRKING at certain timestamps in the video. This man is unashamed of what he's doing because he knows that nobody in his social circle or network back home cares how many boys he rapes as long as they aren't Jewish. THAT'S what makes Israelis different.

What a bizarre freak. So many of the most unhinged morons on this app.

Political streamer Hasan Piker notes that more establishment Democrats have condemned him over comments he did not make than have demanded the release of Sama Safi, a 20-year-old American imprisoned by Israel without charge in the occupied West Bank since June. Her doctors warn that Israel’s denial of adequate medical care puts her at risk of irreversible, life-threatening damage to her internal organs. As journalist Prem Thakker points out, Chris Van Hollen is the only potential 2028 presidential contender in the Senate who has called on the Trump administration to secure Safi’s release. Van Hollen is also introducing a resolution requiring the State Department to provide answers about nine Americans killed in the West Bank since 2022 with zero accountability, as well as the broader abuses Palestinians face under Israeli occupation. He says he will bring it to a vote when Congress returns.

There is a word for this. It is called apotheosis. It is when members of a cult believe their leader possesses divine powers that are, in fact, just naturally occurring phenomena. Modern historic examples include: North Korea: when Kim Jong-Il was born, biographies claimed winter instantly shifted to spring and a double rainbow appeared. It was later revealed he was born a year earlier in Siberia. Mao’s red sun: state propaganda claimed that when the morning sun rose earlier than usual, it was because of admiring Mao’s portrait the night before. Now, an otter appears in the Bronx River with absolutely zero attribution to any policy or procedure under Mamdani’s administration, and yet, his cult have apotheosized this man as the deity that hath brought the nameless otter forth.

This is a fun exercise: How large a data center would your town need to replace your property taxes? In 2023, U.S. local governments collected $1,965 per resident in property taxes, which includes municipalities, counties, school districts, and other local taxing jurisdictions. So, for a 20,000-person town, that nets out to $39.3 million in annual revenue. Let's be conservative and call it $40m. We'll also combine the city, school, and county so we make the case even fairer to people who are data center-skeptical (if we didn't, this would mean cutting down the number to ~$15m on average). Commercial effective property tax rates in major U.S. cities are usually in the range of 1-3%, so split the difference and call it 2%. That means our target annual property tax being $40m would require a taxable value of $2b. Current U.S. hyperscale DC construction runs ~$9.5-$13/W of critical IT capacity before considering any other costs, and if the facilities are liquid-cooled as most of the more recent ones are, then they run ~7-10% higher on average. Luckily, Turner & Townsend have provided a model that includes shell/core, M&E, equipment, contractor costs, and everything else we need to consider, simplifying things for us. With $10-$12/MW as approximate building/infra investment, $2b/$10m per MW = 200 MW, so if all construction value was taxable, a ~160-200MW DC campus would be sufficient to generate a ~$40m/yr bounty. It would do this while increasing electricity prices by ~5-10% on average (I have a post prepared on this; coming soon, just waiting on a final outside review), so well worth it, and also something the DC itself could offer to handle. Municipal-only, the DC could be much smaller: $750m/$10-$12/MW is ~60-75 MW, with basically no effect on electricity prices on average. In short, being generous, you could drop your property taxes entirely with a data center that doesn't even hit the hyperscale threshold of 250MW. And if we count the taxes done on business personal property in some jurisdictions, then this scales even better for local residents, because the revenue generated to the municipality is even greater per MW.

על כל דמעה של אמא ישראלית, אלף אמהות לבנוניות צריכות לבכות. לבנון כולה צריכה לבעור! עם כל הכבוד לאמריקאים, ישראל חייבת להבהיר לעולם כולו שדם בנינו וביטחון אזרחנו איננו הפקר. לבנון כולה צריכה לבעור. חובתנו העליונה היא להגן על אזרחי ישראל ועל חיילי צה״ל, והמחויבות הזו קודמת לכל שיקול אחר. אמרתי לראש הממשלה, גם בישיבות בינינו: על כל דמעה של אמא ישראלית, אלף אימהות לבנוניות צריכות לבכות. מספיק עם הפינג־פונג. במזרח התיכון לא מנצחים בתגובות מדודות ובהכלה - צריך להשתגע. למחוק. להכריע את הטרור.
