Iran war energy crisis is a renewable energy wake-up call

The Iran war is exposing how much the global economy still depends on fragile fossil fuel supplies. The conflict has virtually choked off the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping lane for a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas. That's shaking up markets and pushing prices higher. Countries reliant on imported fossil fuels — from wealthy industrial economies to poorer developing nations — are facing major disruptions that can quickly ripple through utility bills, food prices, transport costs and electrical grids. Analysts say the crisis is a stark reminder that energy security is not just about stockpiles and shipping, but also about the lagging transition to renewable energy.

As a man we have to be the ones to help create this world with every action we take. Call out your homies and hold them responsible.

I wasn’t sure FLAC was really that much better than MP3 but wow I was wrong! Glad to be moving away from Spotify and rebuild my music library again!

I wrote about the House hearing today, how Congress is trying to strip anonymity from the Internet, and the devastating effects that has for journalists, whistleblowers, LGBTQ ppl, immigrants, civil rights activists, abortion providers and anyone challenging power for @theintercept https://theintercept.com/2026/03/05/kosa-online-age-verification-free-speech-privacy/

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online

The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

This #Plushtodon, a recent immigrant to Canada, is checking out our Mastodon feed. How did they get my password?
They are excitedly looking for updates on how our community is convincing politicians to dump U.S. based social media and join the #Fediverse. It's almost like they have a vested interest in your activities and efforts. Hmm....

After about twelve hours, the same post had received more than 300 shares and likes on Mastodon, while it had only been shared three times and liked four times on BlueSky.

I'm no social media expert, but it's amazing how reluctant people are to use Mastodon because of its lack of reach and interaction.

If we bring more people here, the Fediverse could become the de facto public square.
