"Hurt" is not an original by Johnny Cash. The song was written by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) in 1994 for the album The Downward Spiral. Rick Rubin had to insist several times on Cash recording his version, at first Johnny found the idea completely insane because the original version is industrial and noisy. At 71, already very ill, almost blind and with trembling hands, Cash completely transformed the band.
The iconic video, directed by Mark Romanek, was filmed at the House of Cash (his own museum). June Carter Cash appears looking at him fondly, the video was shot in February 2003, a few months before she died (May) and Johnny himself (September).
Trent Reznor was so moved that he declared, "This song is not mine anymore." It is considered one of the best covers of all time.
Imagine a soldier who trained his whole life, mastered hand-to-hand combat, and ran 5 miles a day, only to get killed by a geek sipping a Sprite Zero in an air conditioned room. Modern warfare is wild.
A pregnant, homeless woman approached a police officer and said: "I'm pregnant. I'm homeless, I'm a drug addict, and I'm done." She wanted help getting to a treatment centre on Gizen High Street but had no way to get there.
The officer immediately let her sit in his patrol car, followed procedure by checking her pockets, and asked if she was hungry. She was. On the way, they stopped for food—he bought her cheeseburgers and made it a full meal. He offered her the choice to eat outside with him or in the car, treating her with respect and dignity.
After the meal, he drove her straight to the treatment facility and handed her off safely. She thanked him warmly.
They are cutting down the forest inside the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York so they can install solar panels.
I’m not sure how anyone could still believe the climate change hoax at this point.
It’s a giant money laundering scam. This crap needs to stop ASAP.
🚨 Georgia Power is forcing a family off their farm with eminent domain for a Data Center
“I'm fighting for survival of my cattle farm. I'm here because a massive data center was approved just a couple of miles from my land — and I'm being hounded by Georgia Power for an easement to build transmission lines through my property for the data center”
“I'm a local farmer, not an industrial developer. These 500-kV lines aren't for me. They are for the data centers that the boards and surrounding counties continue to approve. I have mail from lawyers stacking up on my kitchen table wanting to take my case because they know my land is being targeted for eminent domain — These easements are permanent.
They affect my ability to graze my cattle, they lower my property value, and they destroy the rural character of this county forever. This board makes decisions to approve these massive, massive projects, but it's residents like me, young people trying to build a life here, who pay the price.
You're voting to turn our farms into a network of high-voltage wires and noisy industrial buildings.
I'm asking you to realize the real-world impacts of your votes. Every time you say yes to a data center, you're saying no to a local farmer. We aren't just numbers on a map. We are the future of the county, and right now you're making that future impossible.“
This data center project affects over 330 private properties. Georgia Power says it will negotiate purchases and easements and use eminent domain
Georgia Power claims its to strengthen the grid for the growing energy demand in Georgia (due to many new data centers)
The lines are widely linked to Project Sail
This isn’t a small operation. Project Sail is a $17 billion hyperscale data center campus by Prologis, Atlas that includes 9 massive buildings totaling up to 4.34 million square feet on 829 acres. It will demand hundreds of megawatts of continuous power equivalent to what a small city uses
We cannon allow data centers to take priority over farmers
NYP Reporter: Prior to boarding Air Force One to depart Beijing, the entire U.S. delegation disposed of every item provided to them by their Chinese hosts. Gifts, badges, pins, and commemorative items were all dumped into a trash bin on site. The directive was absolute, no item of Chinese origin was permitted to board the aircraft. The precautions extended beyond the departure itself. Delegation members had left all personal electronic devices at home before traveling to China and operated exclusively on clean burner phones throughout the duration of the trip.
NEW: Underwater IED detonated after it was found at an Alabama reservoir that is the sole drinking water source for about 350,000 people.
The bomb was reportedly discovered during routine maintenance.
Mobile Area Water and Sewer System (MAWSS) Director Bud McCrory says the discovery is "an unprecedented threat" to the drinking water.
"We are fortunate that this device was discovered before it could cause serious damage to our water supply or harm to individuals," he said.
The bomb is being described as a "grenade-type IED" and was detonated with help from personnel with the FBI Bomb Squad.
MAWSS is currently investigating when and how the bomb got into the reservoir.
