On top of everything else, this was an impressive, if slightly adrenaline-inducing, thing I had to stop and wait for on the way home from campus today. WOW.

After a day of rumors and threts, of more severe attacks, the decision is made to enter Greek territorial waters, and continue eastward along the coast of Crete. And we've had a calm night so far. We know though that it is only a delay of the confrontation, as it seems most of the world bow their heads as Isreal take it as their right to attack civilians in international waters.

The absolutely correct response to this would be for every country with an interest in upholding international law, and the law of the sea, and humanity itself, to send their navies to escort us, no less.
Still, as Italy and now Spain seem to gesture in that direction, we are weary of what the reality of their 'protection' might turn out to be.

VF : La réponse absolument correcte à cela serait que chaque pays ayant un intérêt à faire respecter le droit international, le droit de la mer et l'humanité elle-même, envoie ses marines pour nous escorter, rien de moins.
Pourtant, comme l'Italie et maintenant l'Espagne semblent faire des gestes dans cette direction, nous sommes fatigués de ce que la réalité de leur « protection » pourrait devenir.

Last week, despite widespread outcry from across Doña Ana County, county commissioners approved a massive $165 billion (yes, billion with a B) tax package to develop "Project Jupiter" which is a massive AI data center complex

Project Jupiter moves ahead despite massive public outcry - ProgressNow New Mexico
Despite massive public input against Project Jupiter, Doña Ana County Commissioners voted last week to move forward with the data center.Lucas Herndon (ProgressNow New Mexico)
Significant concerns on the project included:
Pollution – a State of NM Economic Development Department memo gave permission to the company to use gas turbines that pour hazardous chemicals like formaldehyde into the air...
These pollutants cause increases in asthma, respiratory diseases, heart problems, and certain cancers, and are especially harmful to children
Elon Musk is also doing this kind of thing in Memphis: selc.org/press-release/musks-x…
Musk’s xAI explores another massive methane gas turbine installation at second South Memphis data center - Southern Environmental Law Center
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — XAI, a company founded by Elon Musk, is evaluating a plan to install between 40 and 90 polluting methane gas turbines at its second South Memphis data center, according to documents obtained by the Southern Environmental Law Center.Southern Environmental Law Center
Water – most of the region experiences extreme drought at various times throughout the year
Camino Real Regional Utility Authority (CRRUA) has also consistently failed to provide safe drinking water to 19,000 people in the Sunland Park and Santa Teresa areas... they are listed as the primary sewer/water contact on the bond application for the project
Additionally, the project would rely on brackish salt water pulled up from deep in the earth in a process similar to fracking
