Companies join a #DeepSeaMining rush after Trump executive order, as regulators fast-track permits
Trump’s order suggests the U.S. will decide for itself when to mine the global seabed, reversing the decision of previous administrations to honor the seabed authority’s rules.
By HELEN WIEFFERING
Updated 3:11 PM UTC, May 22, 2026WASHINGTON (AP) — "In the year since President Donald Trump signed an executive order promising to create a deep-sea mining industry from scratch, businesses have raised millions of dollars from investors, stock prices have soared and federal regulators have raced to fast-track a permitting process.
"At least nine companies are in talks with the government for access to seabed minerals, according to an Associated Press review. Sections of the seafloor from #AmericanSamoa to #Alaska could be auctioned for offshore mining this summer and through the fall.All the action suggests the U.S. may soon give the green light for companies to commercially mine the seabed — something that’s never been done in international waters.
"But a close look at some of the companies involved reveals uncertain track records and histories spattered with legal disputes, while major questions about how the minerals would be processed and refined remain unanswered. Watchers of the nascent industry are skeptical the promised riches will ever materialize."

CW: Israeli Atrocities: Mentions of Sexual Violence
Israel’s arrogance is becoming the evidence in the case against it
"Ben-Gvir’s video of abused flotilla activists reveals a state so accustomed to impunity that it documents its own cruelty, even against Westerners."
"In the footage, Ben-Gvir is heard taunting activists, who are forced to kneel with their foreheads to the floor and their hands tied behind their backs. At one point, a female activist who tried to speak up was grabbed by the back of the neck and forced violently to the ground.
Disturbing as it is, the video will not surprise anyone who has followed Israel’s treatment of either Palestinian detainees or foreign activists and aid workers.
Earlier this month, veteran New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof published a detailed account of Israeli abuses, including allegations that dogs are used to sexually abuse Palestinian detainees.
These reports follow an August 2024 video leak showing Israeli officers gang-raping a Palestinian prisoner at the Sde Teiman detention facility, as well as a 2024 United Nations Special Commission report, which found that sexual abuse had become part of Israel’s “standard operating procedures”.
Israeli soldiers and officers have also targeted foreign nationals. Activists, journalists, aid workers, medics and humanitarian personnel have routinely been killed, attacked or abused without consequence.
In 2003, 23-year-old American activist Rachel Corrie was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer in Gaza as she tried to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home.
In May 2010, Israeli commandos intercepted a Gaza-bound flotilla in international waters and killed nine activists on board the Mavi Marmara. Autopsies found that the victims had been shot at close range..."

The World Keeps Asking Iran the Wrong Question
"Washington and Tel Aviv entered the 2026 war wanting something contained—pressure on the nuclear program, the missiles, the regional network. Iran expanded the frame. When military pressure reached a threshold, Tehran closed Hormuz, converting the confrontation into a global economic crisis. Every time Washington sets the rules of the game, Tehran changes the playing field."

Took a brief teabreak from working on sewage pipes and checked the (news) feed.
Honestly I am happier working in shit than reading the news. What the hell are we doing as a species? SMH. Sadly I don't have much more poopipe to plumb so I'll have to find other distractions soon.

#India's #DataCentre boom confronts a looming water challenge
Nikhil Inamdar, 9 November 2025
Excerpt: "From #Chile and #Mexico to #Georgia in the #US and #Scotland, serious concerns have been raised around data centres guzzling excess water for their cooling systems and consuming vast amounts of energy at the cost of local communities.
"In an energy starved, water-scarce India, these challenges are even more accentuated.
"According to the World Bank, India has 18% of the world's population, but only 4% of its water resources, making it among the most water-stressed countries in the world.
"India's data centre water consumption, meanwhile, is expected to more than double from 150 billion litres in 2025 to 358 billion litres by 2030, putting further pressure on its water table.
"Moreover, most of India's data centres are concentrated in urban clusters like #Mumbai, #Hyderabad, #Chennai and #Bengaluru which have strong competing water needs."

Oh boy. Plastics? Well, we need less of those anyways (and maybe actually recycle them?). Pharmaceuticals? Yeah, that's a BIG problem! Maybe manufacture them in smaller factories locally. As for fertilizer? Let's see... #Urea, #nitrogen and #ammonia -- all can come from urine! And sulphur? Grow more garlic and onions rather than use oil production byproducts. WTF!
"Around 30% of fertilizer products go through the Strait of Hormuz. Quatar is the world’s biggest producer of urea, a key input to fertiliser manufacture. The region also produces around 35% of the urea and 23% of the ammonia, another feedstock for nitrogenous fertiliser, which is exported globally. Sulphur, another component of fertiliser manufacture, is also produced in the region as a by-product of oil production."

"It is no accident that you have been scared by the IDEA of an apocalypse, a fundamental change in the world since you were a child. It isn't an accident that your inner life teeters between expectations of stability and the idea that there will be nothing on the other side of collapse - that's an intentional belief to keep you preferring the fantasy of false stability."
