2022-04-20 13:02:23 South Africa outages double as power plants break down

South Africa’s state energy utility provider Eskom had to cut supply to the nation by half after two of its power plants tripped.

A power crisis is rampant in the country due to aging coal-burning generation facilities, as breakdowns reached record highs Sunday.

Eskom was forced to start a so-called stage 2 blackout, in an attempt to replenish depleted power reserves, while appealing to citizens to reduce their use of electricity and switch off any non-essential items.

Great news for climate activists?

2022-04-20 06:00:17 MSNBC Analyst Ditches Network to Join International Legion Fighting in Ukraine

Malcolm Nance, who has served as an on-air analyst for MSNBC since 2007, appears to have joined Ukraine’s foreign legion - ditching his post at the network to fight Russia.

“The more I saw of the war going on, the more I thought, I’m done talking. It’s time to take action here,” Nance said.

But is he capable? Multiple conservatives have mocked Nance, for his odd military uniform and that he appeared to have the safety OFF while speaking on camera - a big no, when it comes to safely handling weapons.

Maybe Kyle Rittenhouse could give him a lesson in gun safety?

The disgraced former governor hasn’t minced words slamming democrats over “egregious” scandals, gerrymandering and high crime rates in New York State.

He says that Democrats are destined to be hit hard at the polls for these various failings when New Yorkers head to the ballot box for the midterms.

2022-04-20 05:00:59 US military tech innovation official quits, says Pentagon lags behind

Preston Dunlap, a senior official responsible for driving technological innovation in the DoD says the institution needs “structural change” - or risk losing in the tech race.

“By the time the govt manages to produce something, it’s too often obsolete,” he said in his resignation statement, adding that it should behave more like SpaceX and other commercial ventures.

He said “the world’s largest bureaucracy” at the Pentagon is behind in distributed computer processing, software, AI and cybersecurity, instead focusing on turf wars.

Dunlap is the latest departure among senior officials that have warned the US is lagging behind China in tech terms – is anybody listening?

2022-04-20 04:31:02 Ohio professor WINS $400,000 in “preferred pronouns” battle

Shanwee State University demanded that professor Nick Meriwether refereed to his transgender student as “female” and then reportedly proceeded to punish him for refusing to do so in 2018.

Meriwether said it was an infringement of his freedom of speech and religious beliefs, saying “The university has no place in telling professors how they are to think with the students”.

Following three years of legal battles, the US Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit ruled that Meriwether’s rights were indeed violated.

A win for common sense?

2022-04-20 03:30:42 CNN fires its CFO - wraps up marketing spending on CNN+

The CNN+ streaming service is reportedly failing with roughly only 150,000 subscribers so far.

That’s as CNN Chief Financial Officer Brad Ferrer has been replaced by Neil Chugani, Discovery’s current CFO for streaming - as part of what could be a deeper finance team restructuring after Discovery merged with WarnerMedia earlier this month.

The service was reportedly projected to become profitable within four years, with some $1bn invested into it - but now some Warner execs believe it will fail to live up to expectations.

Is it a surprise people are not willing to pay for more CNN propaganda?
