US prez is recalling all diplomatic staff in the ME and Netanyahu is preparing a major military operation in the West Bank soon.
The CisJordan & Gulf countries are going to flare up soon.
Expect further restrictions on hydrocarbon supplies over the coming weeks/months.
Prepare yourselves.
Nostr needs recruiters and more work on the citizen spirit around these parts if it's ever going to be anything other than a BTC cultist protocol-platform.

All the billions og quid in the world cannot make you a confident man if you are of a dishonourable mentality and dare not openly admit to what you do.
This goes for all the strongmen wanna-bes all over the world.

DC erection is turning into a nightmare business:
"According to the Washington Post, Amazon has scrapped a plan to build data centers on the site of George Washington University's former campus in Ashburn, Northern Virginia, after reaching an agreement with local officials amid widespread opposition from residents. Under the deal announced Tuesday by Loudoun County Board of Supervisors Chair Phyllis J. Randall, Amazon will repurpose the majority of the 122-acre campus for mixed-use and residential development, and commit to never building data centers on the land."
and
"Some context on just how big a reversal this is: Amazon paid GWU $427 million for the campus earlier this year, roughly four times its assessed value, according to Supervisor Juli Briskman, because the zoning made data centers "a reasonable expectation." It filed a site plan in late July for "Bridgefield Tech Center": four two-story data center buildings totaling more than 800,000 square feet. Briskman promptly vowed to fight it "every step of the way," and by September Randall was meeting with Amazon because a "likely disagreement" was emerging over what the land could legally be used for, per Bisnow. Amazon's take was that it read the site's legal potential differently than the county, but chose a "shared vision" over costly litigation. Translation: Amazon also agreed not to sue.
So instead of 800,000 square feet of servers, Loudoun gets an arts center, an indoor sports facility, housing, and roughly $70 million in land and cash (the 25 acres carry a stated fair market value of about $65 million). The rezoning alone is expected to take about a year, even on a fast-track schedule. Amazon, for its part, is left holding a very expensive future apartment complex."

So much of fediverse 'debate' is merely reply-guying 'me too' or 'yes, so much this', as the predominant mentality of the fefiverse dweller is a maladjusted person with poorly managed personality disorders that will throw hissy fits if not getting their arse kissed over their inane drivel.
So everyone is walking on eggshells and kissing their arses, creating one huge echo chamber with scarcely any real, honest debate.
A side effect of this is that the people that tend to be most correct about things are the 'trolly' shitposters, because they do not caee about that bullshit conformity.
BEWARE THE PHONE SCAMMERS
