Following a sizzling 4th of July weekend, we talked with Assemblymember Sarahana Shrestha is a democratic socialist from the Mid-Hudson Valley. She has long been a champion of of rapidly expanding New York's public system to accelerate the buildout of renewable energy sources. We spoke with her following a 4th of July weekend heat wave that roasted much of the East Coast and knocked out service to thousands of Con Ed customers in Queens.

In the first segment, we spoke with Anna Yoney and Ivano TK of Columbia Postdoctoral Workers-UAW Local 4100 about their battle to win a new union contract from Columbia University that improves pay, working conditions, child care and provides more protections for international postdocs.

Today in The Update Journal, love is apparently in the air — but so is panic, confusion, and at least one NYPD officer standing by the elevator wondering how this became their shift. We're starting with the Empire State Building situation, where romance, daredevil behavior, and citywide trauma all met at the top of one of the most recognizable buildings on Earth. Because nothing says “big gesture” quite like making an entire city look up, freeze, and collectively ask, “Are we doing this today?”Then, we're taking one last look back at Season 19: the season that needed a fan, a MetroCard memorial, and possibly a licensed emotional support counselor. From heat warnings and humidity crimes to transit betrayal, school-year chaos, summer watchlists, vampire feelings, and enough personal commentary to fill a group therapy session, Season 19 really put us through it. It laughed, it ranted, it sweated through its shirt, and at some point, it probably asked ConEd for mercy.And finally, The Last Word closes things out with “America at 250: Fireworks, Freedom, and One Last Word Before Season 20.” We're saluting the country's big birthday with fireworks, history, summer chaos, and the kind of patriotic reflection that comes right before a long holiday weekend. America has made it to 250 years old, which means it deserves celebration, cake, and maybe a quick wellness check. So before Season 20 comes charging in with new drama, new segments, and fresh reasons to yell into the microphone, we're giving Season 19 the sendoff it deserves: loud, funny, slightly sweaty, and deeply exhausted.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Thursday, two people got to the top of the Empire State Building's antenna and unfurled a banner about “the power of love” at midday, before descending, embracing, taking selfies and ultimately being arrested.Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will celebrate their wedding at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the security plans.And in Mississippi, a family whose 1-year-old child was killed when police fired into a moving car offered evidence that they say challenges the officers' account that they were in danger when one opened fire.

East Fishkill approves moratorium When Debra Pagano heard that a developer was proposing a 1-gigawatt AI data center in East Fishkill, she asked her son in Texas what he thought of the controversial facilities. With 466 currently operating or planned data centers, Texas has more than any other state except Virginia, according to the Pew Research Center. "I asked his opinion — if it was to their advantage or not," said Pagano. "He said, 'If you can put the brakes [on] in any way to stop it from coming, especially to this area, do it.'" East Fishkill's Town Board applied those brakes on June 25. After a nearly two-hour public hearing during which Pagano and other residents aired emotions ranging from concern to fear, the board approved a three-year moratorium on data centers, which are facing a nationwide backlash as their construction accelerates to meet the large energy demands of AI. New York's Legislature approved a one-year moratorium that needs Gov. Kathy Hochul's signature to take effect. Several upstate towns have also hit pause on any new projects, and Orangetown officials in Rockland County are weighing a moratorium for their town, which has several existing centers. East Fishkill's moratorium, lasting until July 1, 2029, prohibits permitting or consideration of any data center "until the completion of federal and state studies" of their power and water usage, noise and heat emissions. The town allows an exception for projects "ancillary to an existing or permitted use" and less than 20 megawatts, or ones eligible for an economic-development special permit. It passed amid protests from residents who learned that Treetop Companies had asked the New York Independent System Operator, which operates the state's electric grid, to study the impact of an AI-processing and cloud-computing center at its property off of Donovan Drive. While the center would connect to ConEd's grid, the study will also look at its effect on Central Hudson and NYSEG's systems. Nick D'Alessandro, East Fishkill's supervisor, has emphasized that Treetop does not have a formal application with the town, but he said before the public hearing that "the people speak, the government listens and the government acts responsibly." He also said a "significant use" like a data center requires "impactful thought" by professionals and the public. "A moratorium gives us time," said D'Alessandro. "Time to study the infrastructure impacts and the environmental impacts. Time to hear from the experts." With its timeout, East Fishkill joins a movement that has led to more than 100 active moratoriums nationwide and permanent bans by eight municipalities and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina, according to the U.S. Data Center Moratorium Tracker. The warehouse-sized centers house rows of servers that are the repositories and waystations for the documents, images and video stored and shared by Americans through their smartphones and computers. Their construction has accelerated in recent years, driven first by cloud computing and cryptocurrency mining, and now by the processing needs of AI. Behind the backlash are economic and environmental concerns: the effect of the power-hungry facilities on household electricity rates; their thirst for large amounts of water to cool equipment and the impact on wells; and other issues such as noise and traffic. A proposal to build a 200-megawatt data facility at Indian Point is also being studied by NYISO. Tanya Radford, an East Fishkill resident, who gets her electricity through Central Hudson, said any project should be subject to a "robust environmental review" that assesses "air, water, noise and light pollution." She also said that developers should pay for any new energy infrastructure they need. "Ratepayers and communities should not have to pay for new infrastructure that supports new industry," said Radford. "Large commercial industrial users should pay premium prices rather than get sweetheart deals at...

We talk about Hannah getting CONED and giving up your bed when others come to visit.

In this episode, James talks with Sam McGarvey, Director of Origination at NineDot Energy — a developer, owner, and operator of front-of-meter battery storage systems across New York City's five boroughs.NineDot made a deliberate bet: ignore every other market and go all-in on the single hardest place to build energy storage in the country. That focus has taken them from 3 employees to 84, and toward 400–500 megawatts of distributed storage across New York City by the end of the decade. Sam breaks down what it actually takes to develop in NYC — and why the lessons apply everywhere.Why NYC's complexity is a feature, not a bug, for a focused developerThe affordability story: 1.3 million NY utility customers behind on bills — and what storage can do about itWhy January 2026 was a turning point: the first time ConEd included distributed storage in its load forecastA must-listen for developers navigating dense markets, complex permitting, and the next phase of distributed storage.Paces helps developers find and evaluate the sites most suitable for renewable development.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 70: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: We are all looking at it backwards: That was Tulsi Gabbard’s passive-aggressive mini-coup against Trump - about Iran, and the elections. That's what she did in her Senate testimony – and what her deputy Joe Kent did when he resigned, a day earlier (and you think THAT was a coincidence of timing?) In a kind of bizarre code, through omission and not commission, they called Trump a liar about Iran and nukes. Not nobly or bravely. But they did it. They left no other conclusion that Trump was and is lying about Iran. Under oath. And THEN Gabbard passive-aggressively called Trump a LIAR AGAIN about the seized ballots in Georgia. Under oath. She testified that HE sent her. It might be a break in the damn; it might be trivial. It is NOT nothing. Because everybody has a moment in which they realize that they have to protect their own assets - and this might've been theirs. Lord knows all the allies have found theirs. Trump literally has no support from anyone, and the EU just started talking to Iran about a deal to get its ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump is neck high in quicksand that he ordered and installed - and he's run out of people to blame. Plus I'll explain what the hell Trump meant when he said “DIG WE MUST" instead of "drill baby drill." (It was his brain defaulting back to 1962 and it's a really bad sign). B-Block (26:00) SPORTSBALL TONIGHT: Are there ANY good feelings left from the US Olympics Men's Hockey Gold? Now the scorer of the winning goal, Jack Hughes, is demanding they give him the puck rather than enshrine it forever at the Hockey Hall of Fame, and an ESPN commentator is demanding we ignore "politics" and admit Russia to the next international tournament (while Russia is aiding Iran, who we are - like it or not - at war with). (34:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Newt Gingrich falls for an internet troll who wants to create an instant Trump Canal in the Middle East using nukes. Rachel Maddow becomes the umpteenth commentator to insist HER favorite Trump scandal should be getting more attention than the others. And not only did the Los Angeles Dodgers desecrate Dodger Stadium by slapping a sponsor name on it - but they then lied and said they HADN'T sold the naming rights. C-Block (56:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: My great grandfather not only turned down stock - circa 1907 - in the company that would become General Motors, but according to family lore he gave the owner the idea for the NAME "General Motors." We are not businessmen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Trump administration's $130 million purchase of a warehouse in Roxbury, New Jersey to convert into an ICE detention center is drawing opposition from local leaders who cite infrastructure limits and question the town's ability to handle a facility of that size. Meanwhile, many New Yorkers are seeing unusually high Con Edison bills this winter, even without using more energy. Ian Donaldson of the Public Utility Law Project explains what is driving the spike and how the state's Energy Affordability Program could lower monthly costs for eligible households.

New Sode Glitter Ledger; I must be the only person on God's Green Earth who is so deeply unimpressed with AI. Have you ever heard one of your peers or staff speak with authority on the topic without sounding like a complete pompous asshole with small anatomy and/or a  troubling complexion? Alas, I consider myself a deeply attractive pompous asshole with a kind stalker-like disposition . As such, I use ChatGPT like rest of my well bred waspy goldigging alcoholic materialistic sxually starved intellectuals for concoctions on how to seduce a Sheik or for how to leverage all of my alimony into a House in St St. Tropez. Otherwise, I see the AI use cases as a Communist Manifesto; good idea in practice, but everyone ends up #poor.  Perhaps automated workflows are uninteresting to yours truly because I have no workflow to automate. Ipso Facto; wake me when #AI can give my husband a uknowwhat and design a powerpoint that designs a plan to launder money for the lazy. I digress,, my guest today is a real Crypto Nigerian Prince, side ordered as a well dressed Zoologist turned Ava Labs Executive. Not to be confused with an Avalanche Foundation executive. Yes, Afeez Awowole. He is a sought after guest and heavily edited my questions because most were too personal and likely  indictable.  I was looking forward to learning how to cook the books beyond throwing my journals into boiling water. I asked him why #accounting is so boring. I asked how to talk about balance sheets with a hint of mortifying sexual tension. When I was high on quaaludes I took out a mortgage that I made on crayons to buy more #AVAX and could only eat chickpeas and prosecco for 3 weeks. ButI lost a stone so I am bullish. Furthermore, my ex had a penchant for the P-chain.#Avalanche is the less cute stepsister of #Solana with an Ivy League degree and a #vicodin problem. She has what it takes to succeed with meaningful useless institutional partnerships for real world assets that I cannot melt down into a bullet. Real world assets should not be on-chain and should be in a #vault. Although I have some assets onchain I lost them because it is too goddamn complicated to retrieve. But like #Jesus Christ rising on Easter, Avax too will rise. I digress, Awkle met during the early days of Facebook in Ireland, I was working as a cocktail waitress on the lam and he helped set up a sick album. I was desperately in love with him but he maintained that he couldn't marry a married woman . Instead he agreed to help me put my ConED on autopay and teach me the zoology of #Ocelots. He is deeply intelligent to the point of sinister intrigue. His accent is a country club pour of Miles Davis meets Michael Saylor meets Liam Neeson. If this Nigerian Prince says Avalanche will change the world then it's indeed time to take out a third mortgage in Cray Paux right in time for Halloween. #GlitterLedger #Avax #AutomateMyPChainSupport the show

One of the most powerful tools in the fight against climate change is the money sitting in investment portfolios - especially the trillions of dollars invested on behalf of public retirees. That's money that could continue to fund fossil fuel development, or help pay for  climate solutions instead.New York City has implemented an ambitious Net Zero plan for its public pensions. That plan includes divesting from some fossil fuel companies and investing billions of dollars in climate solutions. One company benefiting from that investment is NineDot Energy.   Wedged between an elementary school and a big box shopping center in the Northeast Bronx, NineDot Energy is operating a battery farm that the city's utility company, Con Ed, can call on to help relieve the grid when it gets overstressed. “The batteries hold a combined three megawatts of battery storage. That's enough to power about 3,000 New York City households for four hours on a hot summer day. Last summer, the battery farm was called half a dozen times, which was enough to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a combined 24 metric tons. That's the equivalent of nine thousand car trips on the Cross Bronx Expressway.Currently, the city has the dirtiest energy grid in the state. More than 90% of its power comes from fossil fuels. NineDot Energy is still in growth mode, but battery farms like this could eventually help the grid transition to renewable sources, like wind and solar.“The sun only shines when nature tells it to; the wind only blows when nature tells it to, but people use electricity when they decide to,” explained Adam Cohen, co-founder of NineDot Energy. “A battery helps mediate that process. It pulls in the extra power when it's available, and then puts it back out when people call for it.” On a recent visit to the Bronx facility, 12-year-old Virtue Onoja showed off a mural she helped paint along with other students from the elementary school across the street, envisioning a future powered by cleaner energy.“One thing about me, I'm definitely an artist,” she said. “I drew a clear blue sky, no pollution, no nothing [and] beautiful yellow flowers and the sun.”There are also drawings of windmills and electric school buses. “There's still a lot of pollution, not just in the Bronx, but just in New York in general,” Onoja said. “All of this is the goal that we want to achieve.”This is an excerpt from the latest season of How We Survive.

This week in the studio, I'm joined by Dr. Nick Barringer—Army Ranger, performance nutrition expert, and one of the sharpest minds in military and metabolic health. Together, we cut through the noise around today's most controversial nutrition topics. If you've ever felt whiplash trying to make sense of conflicting headlines, this episode is your science-based compass.What's really going on with artificial sweeteners like sucralose and aspartame? Are seed oils toxic—or just misunderstood? And what's the actual science behind popular supplements like creatine, testosterone boosters and fat burners?Dr. Barringer brings two decades of elite military and research experience to help us separate hype from evidence—while sharing real-world tools that help people perform, think, and feel better.We cover:Whether sucralose and other artificial sweeteners damage DNA or gut healthWhat to actually worry about with food dyes Seed oils, inflammation, and what most people get wrong about themProtein and carb dosing for people over 40 (and how to think about fiber and fat)Why creatine is still the most underrated supplement for muscle and brain functionTactical hydration tips (and how sweat composition varies with diet)Hidden risks in testosterone boosters and “fat burners”Practical takeaways for elite performance, healthy aging, and being stronger at any ageWho is Dr. Nick Barringer?Nick Barringer, PhD, is a Nutritional Physiologist with deep experience in both applied and academic settings. He directed the U.S. Military-Baylor Graduate Program in Nutrition, taught at West Point, and was the first active-duty dietitian to graduate U.S. Army Ranger School and serve with the 75th Ranger Regiment. He holds a PhD in kinesiology from Texas A&M, and his research on tactical nutrition has been featured in outlets like Science Daily and Men's Journal.This episode is brought to you by: ARMRA - Use code DRLYON for 15% off your first order → tryarmra.com/DRLYON Manukora - Use code DRLYON for $25 off the Starter Kit → manukora.com/DRLYONOneSkin – Get 15% off with code DRLYON → OneSkin.coNed - 15% off with code DRLYON → helloned.com Find Nick Barringer at: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-barringer-phd-rdn-cscs-cssd-5137789a/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nickbarringer.phd.rdn/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/nickbarringer.phd.rdn/Find me at:Instagram: @drgabriellelyonTikTok: @drgabriellelyonFacebook: facebook.com/doctorgabriellelyonYouTube:youtube.com/@DrGabrielleLyonX (Twitter): x.com/drgabriellelyonApply to become a patient – https://drgabriellelyon.com/new-patient-inquiry/Join my weekly newsletter –

Queens Borough President Donovan Richards is urging Con Edison to reconsider its proposed rate hikes, warning they would burden working families. Meanwhile, police credit the quick thinking of children and first responders for saving lives during a stabbing in Brooklyn that injured four girls. Plus, a developer is proposing a casino next to the United Nations, complete with a Museum of Freedom and Democracy, as part of a bid for a state gaming license.

Con Edison is facing pushback for proposing a major rate hike, and lawmakers are questioning how the state approves those increases. Meanwhile, the city has started issuing fines to property owners who don't comply with the composting mandate, but NYCHA isn't following the rule yet. Officials say public housing compost collection won't begin until next year. Plus, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker breaks a Senate record with a 25-hour speech protesting President Trump's latest actions.

New York City officials say they're preparing for the end of a federal rent voucher program that currently helps more than 7,600 low-income households. The Trump administration says the program will run out of money next year. Meanwhile, Con Edison has agreed to pay $750,000 to settle a workplace discrimination case involving 17 women and people of color.

Why do we expect to be great business owners without any training at all?  We don't think that way about our clinical skills.In fact, we all spent 7+ years in school, countless clinical con-ed hours and often hundreds of thousands of dollars to become good clinicians. And yet, most of us have never invested anything in ourselves as business owners.  Yet we expect to have immediate success - no wonder 90% of us aren't happy with what we're making financially in business! There's a 'compound interest' in becoming a better business owner.  A small improvement or investment now grows and grows over the years and decades we own our practice.If we develop a front desk script now, we might use it for thousands of patients.  Our call logs, budget templates, 'last 5' for clinical buy-in - all of these skills or habits will last for years.These investments in the business will pay off over the life of your practice.  Yet we don't approach business with the same dedication we do our clinical practice.As we said in a recent podcast 'sode, "If we invested 1% of the time and money in business ownership that we did to become great clinicians, 90% of us wouldn't be unhappy with what we make in the practice!Business Accelerator Program - Closes Friday!Registration for the January Cohort of the Accelerator Program closes on Friday (12/20)!!  If you're a business owner looking to take things to the next level in 2025, make sure to check it out and get on the wait list here: www.pelvicptrising.com/acceleratorSee how business owners increased their revenue, boosted their confidence and reduced the overwhelm of building a business!About UsNicole and Jesse Cozean founded Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to physical therapists to change the way we treat pelvic health.   PelvicSanity Physical Therapy (www.pelvicsanity.com) together in 2016.  It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.Through Pelvic PT Rising, Nicole has created clinical courses (www.pelvicptrising.com/clinical) to help pelvic health providers gain confidence in their skills and provide frameworks to get better patient outcomes.  Together, Jesse and Nicole have helped 600+ pelvic practices start and grow through the Pelvic PT Rising Business Programs (www.pelvicptrising.com/business) to build a practice that works for them! Get in Touch!Learn more at www.pelvicptrising.com, follow Nicole @nicolecozeandpt (www.instagram.com/nicolecozeandpt) or reach out via email (nicole@pelvicsanity.com).Check out our Clinical Courses, Business Resources and learn more about us at Pelvic PT Rising...Let's Continue to Rise!
