JUST IN: AI data centers could soon require blast-resistant concrete, anti-drone defenses, & missile protection as attacks on computing infrastructure escalate worldwide. — Financial Times

Economic growth is THE anti-poverty program.

Connected everything in your home, like where you talk to your fridge and your toaster tells you the weather, is going to get way less popular. All that software, how secure do you think it is? Yeah. Just buy an oven or a fridge that does fridge and oven things. Everything else is just an attack vector.

From 3 MW to 500 MW planned. Since Project Red, Fervo has been scaling what’s possible with geothermal. Cape Station is now generating 33 MW net, with more on the way. Firm, 24/7, carbon-free power. More to come.

Americans, read this to the end. Then share it. Because if you don't understand what I'm about to tell you, you will lose your country the same way we lost ours. You need to kill the EU. Not reform it. Not negotiate with it. Kill it as a political project. If you want to save Western civilization, there is no other way. I know how that sounds. Let me show you why I'm not exaggerating. Over the past few years, Brussels has built a complete architecture of control. The Digital Services Act to decide what you're allowed to say. Chat Control to read your private messages, including encrypted ones. A digital ID to end anonymity. A digital euro and a war on cash to see every transaction you make. Speech, private messages, identity, money. All four pillars of total control, built in plain sight, each brick sold as "safety." But the laws are not the real danger. The real danger is the machine that produces them. And the one thing you need to understand about that machine is this: It never stops. In 2005, France and the Netherlands voted NO to the European Constitution. A clear, democratic no. Two years later, Brussels repackaged almost the entire text as the Treaty of Lisbon and passed it without asking the French people again. In 2008, Ireland voted NO to Lisbon. So they made Ireland vote again the next year, until it said yes. Chat Control was rejected by the European Parliament. It came back. Rejected again. Came back again. Every new presidency, a new version, a new name, the same goal. They don't win the argument. They outlast you. You have to win every time. They only have to win once. And once a power is transferred to Brussels, it never comes back. Now here's what should keep you up at night. That same machine doesn't stop at Europe's borders. It will come for your institutions too. Not with an invasion. Step by step. Like a hacker probing a system for weak points. First, through your companies. Brussels doesn't regulate European platforms. It regulates X, Meta, Google, Apple. It's cheaper to apply one set of rules worldwide than two, so the censorship machine built for Europe ends up running on your phone in Texas. That's how GDPR cookie banners ended up all over American websites. Second, through NGOs. The DSA gives special status to "trusted flaggers," organizations whose takedown requests platforms must prioritize. When your State Department barred the architect of the DSA from the United States, it also barred people from organizations campaigning against "online hate" and "disinformation," some of them operating on both sides of the Atlantic. The network is already inside your house. Third, through experts and academia. A whole industry of "disinformation research" produces the reports, the definitions, and the lists that regulators then turn into law. Same vocabulary in Brussels, London, Ottawa, Canberra and Washington. That's not a coincidence. That's a pipeline. Fourth, through international agreements. Every summit, every treaty, every "global standard" on online safety or digital governance is another lever to make American rules converge with European ones. Quietly. Technically. Without a single vote of the American people. Fifth, through patience. They are waiting for the next administration that agrees with them. One election. That's all it takes for every safeguard you built to be dismantled from the inside, with European legislation ready to copy and paste and a press kit that says "our democratic allies already do this." You blocked them once. They will try again. And again. And again. With new names, new causes, new crises. It will never stop. Not as long as the machine exists. That's why half measures won't work. You can't fine a cancer into remission. You can't negotiate with it. You remove it, or it spreads. The EU started as a free trade area between sovereign nations. That Europe, I'd defend. What it has become is a supranational bureaucracy that no one elected, no one can fire, and no people can vote out. A machine designed to transfer power upward and never give it back. So use everything you have. Stop treating Brussels as a legitimate rule-maker for American companies. Refuse any trade deal that accepts foreign censorship of American platforms. Deal with Europe nation by nation, not through Brussels. Make it clear that the price of exporting censorship to America is too high to pay. America is the last great country with free speech written into its founding document as an absolute. If America holds, Europeans have something to point to, something to fight for, somewhere to look. If America falls, there is nowhere left. Western civilization was built on free people saying what they think, owning what they build, and governing themselves. The EU, in its current form, is the negation of all three. Kill the project. Everywhere. Or one day, it will have you too. I'm writing this from France. I love Europe. That's exactly why I'm asking for your help.

BREAKING: Belgium is now affected too by a major IT incident disrupting refrigeration systems across multiple supermarket chains. More than 40 Delhaize stores, 15 Carrefour locations, and around five Spar outlets are reporting problems. Refrigerators and freezers are reportedly heating up to 15°C, putting food supplies at risk.

BREAKING: 🇸🇪 Swedish grocery giant ICA, one of Sweden's largest supermarket chains, says several of its stores have been hit by a cyberattack overnight, causing refrigerators and freezers to be remotely set to 50°C. The incident has likely resulted in large quantities of food spoiling. Multiple stores, including ICA Kvantum in Sjöbo and Tomelilla, have reported being affected. ICA says stores will remain closed during the morning and are expected to reopen at 9:00 a.m. Swedish time. The company has apologized to customers and says it is working to restore normal operations. The incident comes amid a wave of cyberattacks targeting businesses recent weeks, following similar incidents reported in France and the United States.

Here’s a story for you. We started filming without owning the title and had to do alternates. Taft Broadcasting owned the title Ghostbusters as part of their half-hour sitcom starring Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker (F-Troop) and a gorilla chasing ghosts. I had never heard of it. They didn’t have proton packs or Bill Murray. Columbia paid $500,000 to buy the name, but they really should have paid Dean Martin, from whom I first heard the term. In the film Scared Stiff (1953), he and Jerry Lewis (check out his acrobatic stair descent) are in an old haunted castle, and Lizabeth Scott asks Dean: “Who are you guys?” And Dean answers: “You’ve heard of Trustbusters and Gangbusters, we’re Ghostbusters!” For my research writing the first movie, I watched every single ‘ghost’ comedy ever made. Bowery Boys, Hope and Crosby, Abbot and Costello, Martin and Lewis all did such films. Happy Halloween 2026.
