  3. And, if the #AUKUS tier one debacle ins’t muddy enough for us lay people and tax payers, here is yet more #Double-talk from our #Secretive #DefenceProcurement, #Minister and #LaborMP.

    Make of it what you will, but I’ll venture to say that we will not know the truth of it all until sometime hence when an #AmyRemeikis of the future writes a revelatory book about those #RustBuckets #HandMeDowns #SSN boats we are now likely to get from the USN.

    Nothing stinks like #ScottyFromMarketing smell… now where did I store that gas mask I used during the #Moretorium protests?

  8. #Arkansas Advocate: Arkansas Explained -- Understanding the #Datacenter boom and debate

    by Ainsley Platt, Arkansas Advocate May 23, 2026

    "Hailed by officials and economic developers as a boon to the state, data center projects heading to Arkansas are facing increasing scrutiny and calls for local regulations.

    "Since an overhaul of energy permitting laws credited with luring more data centers was enacted last year, companies have announced plans for five such projects statewide. Two of them are already under construction.

    "But the rapid announcements and #secretive negotiations with local governments and business chambers have prompted an outcry from some #Arkansans. Reassurances from utilities that costs won’t be shifted to existing customers haven’t assuaged fears.

    [...]

    "In central Arkansas, residents opposed to #datacenters crowded into board rooms in #ConwayAK and #LittleRockAK, while many more commented on social media videos and posts expressing their dismay over data center projects.

    "Momentum for regulations on data centers is also picking up in Arkansas’ most-populous county, even after the Pulaski County Quorum Court voted to send proposed regulations to the county planning department for a 90-day review.

    "Little Rock Mayor Frank Scott, Jr. who stood with supporters at a press conference last week, announced his support Tuesday for data center regulations.

    "Wendell Griffen, the Democratic nominee for Pulaski County’s top elected position who wrote Pulaski County’s proposed regulations, has made data center regulation a central part of his campaign. Griffen has pushed for the quorum court to enact an emergency moratorium."

  13. Spending by recently resigned #University of #Florida President #Ben #Sasse is coming under scrutiny
    after the student-run newspaper found that he awarded #secretive #consulting #contracts and gave high-paying #obs to former members of his U.S. Senate staff and Republican allies — actions that he defended Friday.
    Both Gov. #Ron #DeSantis and Florida’s chief financial officer are calling on the state university system’s Board of Governors to #investigate after The Independent Florida Alligator reported this week that as school president,
    #Sasse gave six former staffers and two former Republican officials jobs with 🔸salaries that outstripped comparable positions🔸
    👉. Most did not move to Gainesville, but work remotely from hundreds of miles away.
    The former Nebraska senator became the school’s president in February 2023.
    Overall, Sasse’s office 💥spent $17.3 million 💥during his first year
    compared to the ❇️$5.6 million ❇️spent by his predecessor Ken Fuchs in his final year.
    The university has an overall budget of $9 billion.
