Afternoon quickie:

There is absolutely no logical reason to do this other than Trump’s hatred of wind because someone built an offshore wind farm off the coast of Scotland in front of his golf course. So taxpayers will pay to cancel a project that would get us closer to true energy independence and Total Energies, the French company building the wind farm, will then (theoretically) invest in oil/gas projects in Texas that will make us more energy dependent on outside forces.

We’re talking infinite-dimensional chess being played here by the Trump Admin. So clever it looks incredibly stupid. Genius!

...According to statements from Flashpoint and Check Point Software, cited by Cybersecurity Drive, hackers are believed to have exfiltrated an enormous volume of data—estimated at over 375 terabytes—from {Lockheed Martin} systems.

...Further claims circulating on messaging platforms linked to the group indicate that the stolen information may include highly sensitive materials, such as blueprints related to the F-35 fighter jet program.

F.A.F.O. alert

"FBI Director Kash Patel's personal email account has been hacked by an Iran-linked group, the agency has confirmed.

A group, known as the Handala Hack Team, shared Patel's purported resume and photos of him on its website on Friday along with a statement that says: "This is just our beginning."

Thing is, our shitty "regulated" for-profit utility industry has, in general, really gotten on the wind bandwagon.

It's telling that an industry that's never told "no" has a president that hates wind more than he loves corporate profits.

I'm kinda surprised he hasn't tried to negotiate a "deal" on this stuff in order to further line his pockets.

Don Quixote is using taxpayer dollars to tilt at windmills.

Elon Musk should be taxed out of the existence.

I had a roommate named Sancho. He said his folks named him to spite Spanish convention, which was Franco-ist rigid. Apparently it means “back door man,” if you get my drift.
