In so-called "red states" and "blue states" around the US, from rural areas to urban centers, the explosion of new data center projects is impacting residents in poor, working-class, and middle-class communities alike. In this episode of Working People, we speak with a diverse panel of residents fighting new and proposed data center projects in Texas and Maryland about what it means for you and your community when one of these loud, polluting, energy- and water-guzzling behemoths comes to your town—and how to fight back. Panelists include: Cheryl Shadden, a registered nurse anesthetist who lives right next to the site of a Marathon bitcoin mine in Granbury, Texas; Karen Pearson, a licensed professional counselor and a resident of Granbury who also lives right next to the Marathon bitcoin mine; Dr. Shannon Wolf, Precinct Chair in Hood County, who lives three miles from the Marathon bitcoin mine; Craig Jackson, a resident of Granbury who lives 300 feet from the site of a new proposed data center, and who is also a plaintiff in a current lawsuit residents have filed against the city of Granbury; Micaiah Lloyd, a grassroots organizer and resident of Charles County, Maryland, who lives near the site of a proposed data center; Hillary Gonzalez, an eco-poet, author, founder of Sacred Parks & Waterways, and a resident of Baltimore, Maryland, who lives right next to the site of Johns Hopkins University's future Data Science and Artificial Intelligence complex.

Granbury doesn't just “host” events, it builds a home for them. Recording live from Hewlett Park during the Lone Star Street Rod Association State Run, we talk with Tammy Dooley from Visit Granbury about what it really takes to make a car weekend feel legendary for participants and profitable for local businesses.Tammy walks us through how Granbury earned its official identity as the Celebration Capital of Texas, including the community process and the Texas legislative steps it took to claim a moniker that fits year-round. If you care about destination marketing, place branding, or event tourism, you'll hear why a clear identity helps everyone, from organizers and restaurants to first-time visitors looking for their next weekend trip.Then we get practical for car clubs and promoters who want to grow: how to find a city that truly wants your event, how to work with a convention and visitors bureau (CVB) or tourism department, and what “support” can look like beyond money, including park access, logistics help, hotel partnerships, advertising, swag, and protected dates. We also dig into Granbury's weekly Rise and Grind meetup, a simple communications play that keeps locals informed and businesses engaged.We close with the numbers behind the strategy, including tourism budget basics like hotel occupancy tax and how Granbury talks about ROI in a way residents understand.

Wiring is where a lot of classic car projects go to die: brittle insulation, mystery splices, random colors, and “temporary” fixes that turn into permanent hazards. From the Lone Star Street Rod Association State Run in Granbury, Texas, we sit down with Dennis Overholster from Painless Performance Products, the company so many builders mention when they want a clean, reliable automotive wiring harness for a street rod, classic truck, or restoration.Dennis breaks down what Painless actually does day to day, from using tens of millions of feet of wire each year to building harnesses by hand on layout boards for consistent routing and branch lengths. We get into the real craft of reverse engineering: bringing a vehicle into the shop, deconstructing the original harness, building prototypes, test-fitting, documenting every change, and then producing a kit that's repeatable. If you've ever wondered why a good harness costs what it costs, the “it can take a year to get it right” explanation lands hard.We also go practical with classic car electrical upgrades: six volt versus twelve volt systems, choosing wire gauge with headroom, and why a simple relay often fixes problems when modern accessories like air conditioning demand more current than the original circuit can safely deliver. And if you're nervous about installation, you'll love hearing about the full-color manuals and the phone support that helps first-timers avoid expensive mistakes.If you enjoy smart car talk and want fewer electrical surprises, subscribe, share this with a friend who hates wiring, and leave us a review so more builders can find the show.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

A famous last name can open doors, but it can't turn a wrench for you. We're live from the Lone Star Street Rod Association State Run in Granbury, Texas, talking with Christi Edelbrock about the real work behind the Edelbrock legacy: foundries, manufacturing, learning parts and processes from the ground up, and stepping into tough spots when the business needs a fixer.Christi walks us through how the 2008 to 2009 recession hit the automotive industry, why banks backed away from anything car-related, and how that kind of pressure forces hard decisions even for established performance brands. We also dig into what it means to represent a historic aftermarket name today, and why curiosity and hands-on learning still beat chasing clout. If you care about hot rodding history, Edelbrock performance parts, intake manifolds, dyno culture, and the people who shaped American racing, this conversation delivers the human side of that story.The second half widens out into big-picture car culture: trade careers and automotive education, why shop class still matters, and a candid take on social media toxicity. Christi also shares how charity car shows, silent auctions, and community partnerships raised serious money for local programs supporting complex-challenged kids. Plus we hit quick automotive news, including a Cadillac Formula One update involving Colton Herta and talk of Mitsubishi jumping into the midsize pickup space with a Nissan-sourced truck.Subscribe for more real-deal car talk, share this with a friend who loves the aftermarket world, and leave us a review with your favorite memory of learning something the hard way in the garage.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

A trophy, a '54 Chevy, and a marriage that outlasts more than a few engine swaps. We're broadcasting live from the Lone Star Street Rod Association State Run at Hewlett Park in Granbury, Texas, and we sit down with Linda Rogers to hear how a lifelong hot rod passion turns into a family tradition you can literally see parked on the grass. Her stories hit the sweet spot between funny and real: being a “race widow,” surviving the long years of a project car, and watching the hobby become the thread that keeps everyone connected. Linda walks us through why they chose a 1954 Chevrolet, how long it took to get it finished, and what it's like when the cars never really stop coming. We talk about passing vehicles down to the kids, the pride of showing up year after year, and the unexpected honor of being named Lady Street Rodder of the Year. Along the way, you'll hear the kind of details only car people appreciate, like the not-so-glamorous “before” version of a classic and the way a good shop setup can be bigger than the house. Then we switch into builder mode with a clear, practical breakdown of popular hot rod engines. If you've ever debated small block Chevy 350 vs 383 stroker, big block 454 torque, a modern GM LS swap, or the high-rev Ford Coyote V8, we lay out the tradeoffs in power, reliability, fitment, aftermarket support, and the sound you're chasing. Subscribe, share this with your favorite car person, and leave a review telling us what engine you'd build your dream street rod around.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

A great car show isn't just rows of shiny fenders. It's the feeling that you've walked into a place where everyone speaks the same language, even if they drove in from three states away. We're coming to you from Hewlett Park in Granbury, Texas during the Lone Star Street Rod Association State Run Car Show, and we sit down with chairman Rick Neely to unpack why this gathering keeps pulling people back year after year.Rick tells us how the Lone Star Street Rod Association has evolved to stay strong, from its early pre-'49 street rod roots to a pre-'73 era, and now to a rolling 30-year eligibility rule that keeps the field fresh without losing the club's identity. We talk membership trends, how car clubs and cruise-ins have changed, why some groups never bounced back after COVID, and the bigger challenge of getting younger drivers excited about licenses, wrenching, and showing up in person.Then the conversation swerves into something every car person cares about: the roads. Rick brings his day-job perspective in highway construction to explain why projects take so long, what “specs” and inspections really mean, and how asphalt and traffic engineering are more complicated than most of us want to believe. He also shares the environmental side, including the kind of endangered-species rules that can pause a job for weeks and the now-famous “lizard wrangler” moment.If you love Texas car shows, street rods, hot rods, and the real stories behind the scenes, hit play.

Artificial intelligence can generate outlines, summaries, illustrations, and sermon-like content in seconds. But should preachers use it? And if so, how?In this episode of the Expositors Collective podcast, Mike Neglia hosts a live panel discussion with Bob Franquiz, Pilgrim Benham, Ryan Marr, and Alan Stoddard on AI, ChatGPT, pastoral integrity, and the future of sermon preparation.Rather than simply asking whether AI can save time, the panel presses into deeper questions. What happens to the preacher when the work of sermon preparation is delegated to a machine? Can technology glorify God, or can it train us to depend less on prayer, study, Scripture, and the Holy Spirit? Where might AI serve as a limited tool, and where does it become a dangerous substitute?Pilgrim Benham reflects on the moral weight of technology and warns against treating tools as spiritually neutral. Ryan Marr offers a thoughtful, contrarian perspective on the formative effects of AI in the life of the preacher. Bob Franquiz speaks to the limits of ChatGPT, reminding listeners that AI can generate words quickly, but it cannot pastor people, carry a burden, or replace the preacher's communion with God in the text. Mike Neglia also suggests a narrow and cautious way AI might be used after a sermon draft is mostly complete, as a tool for clarification rather than creation.The central concern of this conversation is not fear of technology, but faithfulness in ministry. Preachers are called to study, pray, think, shepherd, and proclaim. AI may assist with certain tasks, but it cannot replace the spiritual and pastoral work of preaching.This conversation was recorded at an Expositors Collective preacher training event in St Petersburg, Florida.As a sidebar, the panel also ends with discussion on mentoring relationships, spotting future leaders, "overpreparing" early in ministry, the value of reading while you are young, and the difficult question every preacher faces: how do you know when a sermon is actually done?Featured guestsBob Franquiz is the Founding and Senior Pastor of Calvary Fellowship in Miramar, Florida. He is the author of seven books, including Pull: Making Your Church Magnetic and Begin: First Steps for the Journey of Faith. Before entering pastoral ministry, Bob played guitar for the Christian hardcore band Strongarm, often regarded as one of the most influential Christian metal bands of its era. Prior to planting Calvary Fellowship, he served as an assistant pastor at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale. Bob holds a Ph.D. in Bible Exposition from Liberty University and a master's degree in theological studies from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He and his wife, Carey, have been married since 1997 and have three children: Mia, Alexander, and Olivia.Pilgrim Benham has planted churches and pastored since 2002. He is the Dean of Students at Calvary Chapel Bible College, an instructor, and serves on the pastoral team at WestChurch in Bradenton, Florida. Pilgrim loves equipping the saints and also does sermon coaching when not enjoying Florida's beaches.Ryan Marr is the Lead Pastor of Calvary Chapel St Petersburg, where he has served in pastoral ministry since 2004. He holds an M.A. in Biblical and Theological Studies from Western Seminary, and brings years of experience in preaching, leadership, and local church ministry.Dr Alan Stoddard is the lead pastor of Imagine Church in Granbury, Texas, and is part of the Expositors Collective leadership team.AI and the Preacher's Calling - Dr Paul Hoffman : https://open.spotify.com/episode/4Fsx7d2iGUXh2oUcQOnyYG?si=9157ccf1a9144cac The Perils and Possibilities of ChatGPT - Nick Cady and Mike Neglia: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2oTViQSw1a641dsMqfyMOO?si=6f3cc77c796d4174Connect:For information about our upcoming training events visit ExpositorsCollective.com Join our private Facebook group to continue the conversation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ExpositorsCollective

The NCHA Super Stakes delivered unforgettable runs, breakout performances, and plenty of chaos inside the cowbox — I am joined by my good pal, 'The Louis Vuitton Vaquero' aka NCHA Hall of Famer, Jesse Lennox to break it all down. From Kenny Platt's historic dominance in the 5/6 Open to Michael Cooper's clutch performances under pressure, this episode dives deep into the horses, the strategy, and the personalities shaping the future of cutting. Jesse gives a behind-the-scenes look at what really happens in the cowbox, how elite trainers read cattle, and why the next generation of riders like Cade Shepard, Colt Moore, Cooper Clark, and Ryan Rapp are changing the game. They also unpack the rise of Metallic Rey Mink offspring, the evolution of modern horse training, and the subtle details—like "watching a cow's nostril" — that separate great horsemen from everyone else. Along the way, things go completely off the rails with harmonica stories, busking on the Granbury square, Backstreet Boys encounters, celebrity cuttings, and the ongoing rise of the legendary band "Low Expectations." This episode is equal parts cutting horse masterclass and locker room comedy—and one of the most entertaining recaps yet. Enjoy the show! This episode is brought to you by Kerry Kelley Bits and Spurs, Kimes Ranch and Bluebonnet Feeds.

Car ads can feel like a game you're meant to lose, and we're not letting that slide. We dig into the FTC's warning letters sent to dozens of dealerships and major dealer groups over suspected illegal advertising practices and break down what the agency is targeting, including price ads that don't reflect the true out-the-door cost. If you've ever shown up for a “deal” that magically required financing, a huge down payment, or a rebate you could never qualify for, you'll recognize exactly why this matters.Then we take a turn into the kind of story only car people can appreciate: a pair of robins built a nest on the wheel of a brand-new Ford F-250 King Ranch at a Kansas dealership, and everyone from national media to Ford itself helped spread the word. We talk about the legal protections around active nests, why the dealership left it alone, and the surprisingly patient buyer who agreed to wait it out.From there, we hit the wider car world: Mary Barra's latest Fortune ranking, the relentless growth of Mavis Tire and what consolidation looks like in service and repair, plus our plans for the Lone Star Street Rod Association State Run in Granbury, Texas at Hewlett Park.

Granbury doesn't just host a car show, it turns the whole square into a rolling festival. We're getting you ready for the Lone Star Street Rod Association State Run in Granbury, Texas, where rows of street rods and resto-mods park right in the heart of town and the weekend feels like a reunion. From when cars start “trickling in” to what happens on Saturday and how the community treats these visitors like family, we lay out what you'll see, where you'll walk, and how to make the most of the trip. We also dig into the kind of local history that makes a destination stick in your memory. Granbury's courthouse square is loaded with photo-worthy details, and the Granbury City Cemetery adds true Texas folklore, including the long-running rumor that Jesse James is buried there. Whether you're a car person, a history buff, or traveling with family, the mix of walkable downtown spots, live music, the restored opera house, lake views, parks, and trails makes this a weekend that goes way beyond chrome. Then we shift gears into pure car culture and day-trip inspiration. Jeff takes us through Detroit's abandoned auto factories and what they still reveal about American automotive history, from Packard to Fisher Body to the Highland Park Ford plant and AMC roots. Mars wraps it up with Houston driving destinations that are all about playing: arcade halls, claw-machine haunts, axe throwing, and air-conditioned old-school fun. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a weekend plan, and leave a review with your favorite road-trip town or hidden gem spot.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

On the night of March 28, 1980, twenty-one-year-old Kathryn Ann “Kathy” Stembridge was attacked while closing up the C&M Laundromat on Paluxy Road in Granbury, Texas. Stabbed repeatedly in the chest and abdomen, she managed to crawl more than 170 feet across a vacant lot to the porch of her neighbors, Bill and Mary Lou Carney, where she collapsed after telling them, “I've been stabbed.” Despite an immediate response and appeals to anyone who might have been driving by that night, no weapon was ever recovered, and no eyewitnesses came forward to name a suspect.The case soon focused on Robert Lowell Combs, who lived across from the laundromat at the time of the murder. With a violent history that included armed robbery and assaults against women, he was indicted for capital murder in 1981, but the charge was reduced and later dismissed when witnesses changed their stories and prosecutors admitted they lacked evidence strong enough to move forward. Years later, serial killer Henry Lee Lucas tried to claim responsibility, but his version of events didn't match the facts, and local investigators dismissed him as “all wet.” In the 1990s, DNA tests on hair and blood evidence proved inconclusive, leaving the file open but unsolved. Even decades later, investigators described the crime as a likely passion killing committed by someone close to home. Kathy's family never stopped pressing for answers, and the community never forgot her final words on a quiet Friday night in Granbury.If you have any information about the murder of Kathy Ann Stembridge, please call the Granbury Police Department at (817) 573-2648.Sources: The Hood County News, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Houston Post, The Austin American-StatesmanYou can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

It's Tuesday, June 10th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Panama grants asylum to 11 Iranian Christians Eleven Christian asylum seekers from Iran have been given a 6-month reprieve in Panama. A 27-year-old woman, Artemis Ghasemzadeh,  told International Christian Concern that “If you're a Muslim and you convert to Christianity, it's a problem. The police want to catch you.” The Christians will continue searching for a country that will take them to avoid repatriation, imprisonment, and possibly death if they return to Iran. According to Open Doors, Iran is the ninth most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Cuban prosecutors threatening pastor and wife with prison Cuban prosecutors are threatening eight years of imprisonment for a Christian pastor and his wife who mentioned God in a public trial. Pastor Luis Guillermo Borjas and  his wife, Roxana Rojas, of the Assemblies of God, were detained on May 19th for mentioning God's justice in a trial involving their son. The trial for the couple is scheduled for this week. Please keep Pastor Luis and his wife Roxana n your prayers. Open Doors reports that Cuba is the 26th most difficult country worldwide in which to be a Christian. Franklin Graham: We need evangelists who are unafraid and unapologetic A thousand delegates attended the European Congress on Evangelism in Berlin, Germany at the end of last month.   Fifty-nine years ago, Evangelist Billy Graham addressed the first European Congress on Evangelism in Berlin. BILLY GRAHAM: “The city of Berlin has influenced the world in every field. What a place from which to shout to the world: Christ is the Savior.” On May 30th, Evangelist Franklin Graham, his son, addressed the conference as well. FRANKLIN GRAHAM: “The Gospel has power. We're going to reach Europe. We need an army -- an army of evangelists -- unafraid, unashamed, unapologetic, uncompromising.” In his closing remarks, Graham spoke of the opposition he received in England recently. He said, “When we were losing our contracts in the U.K., it was coming from the LGBT+ community. They were the ones opposing us, who have the rainbow flags, which I see as the flags for the anti-Christ. And they wanted to have victory. Well, God gave us victory! … This is the group coming after us. … “So, don't compromise, and be strong. Fulfill your ministry. We know there's going to be suffering and challenges, some fights, but let's be strong. We go in the power of the name of Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords.” Conservative Columbian presidential candidate shot in head The conservative candidate for President in Columbia, Miguel Turbay, was shot three times on Saturday, twice in the head. The 39-year-old senator remains in serious condition in a Bogota hospital.  U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, “We stand in prayer with Miguel's family, loved ones, and his supporters. Those responsible for this attack must face justice.” Lenin statue toppled in Kyrgyzstan The legacy of atheist tyrants does not last forever. Kyrgyzstan is removing a 75-foot-tall monument of Vladimir Lenin in the city of Osh.   Photos showing Lenin's statue face down on the ground were made public over the weekend. This comes as Moscow has just installed a large monument to the communist  dictator Joseph Stalin in a city subway. Keep in mind Psalm 49:12-13, 16. It says, “Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish. This is the path of those who have foolish confidence; yet after them people approve of their boasts.  …  Be not afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases. For when he dies, he will carry nothing away; his glory will not go down after him.” (ESV) CA protestors clash with ICE over illegals; Trump send 2,000 troops California protestors who are at odds with the Trump administration's policy on arresting illegal immigrants have taken to the streets, creating mayhem in major cities, reports The EpochTimes.com. Police arrested 150 protesters in San Francisco, and about 60 in Los Angeles over the weekend. The riots started with protestors attempting to thwart Immigration and Custom Enforcement's arrests in Los Angeles on Friday. President Trump has deployed 2,000 National Guard troops.  California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom is calling for a withdrawal. Plus, California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a court order attempting to gain a restraining order on the deployment.  Silver hits an all-time high Silver has hit a 13-year high — topping out around $36.70 per ounce on Monday. Gold is still hovering around $3,330 per ounce. The gold to silver ratio is still about the highest it has been in history — right around 90:1. The ratio has averaged around 65:1 since the year 2000. Historically, prior to the 1920s,  the ratio was about 20:1.  Michael Tait of Christian band Newsboys confesses to sexual sin The Contemporary Christian Music band, Newsboys, revealed over the weekend that lead singer, Michael Tait confessed to having been leading a “double life.”   This comes after a lengthy investigative report was released from the Julie Roys organization, alleging drug abuse and the sin of homosexual behavior on the part of the lead singer. The report included multiple testimonies of scandalous behavior dating back as far as 2005. Michael Tait was a founding member of dc Talk, another big Christian Contemporary band from the 1990s. The two bands won 20 Dove Awards and four Grammys combined.   The Newsboys group was featured in the films God's Not Dead, God's Not Dead 2, and God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness. Actor Tim Allen reading through whole Bible Tim Allen, known for his role in the sitcom Home Improvement, is reading through the whole Bible. He posted on X that since beginning the challenge last year, he's finished reading the whole Old Testament. He called the read a “humbling overwhelming experience.” And, he said, “What a treasure!” Allen just posted that he is in the book of Romans. He announced last year that this would be the first time he has ever read the Bible.  Psalm 19:8, 10-11 says, “The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover, by them, Your servant is warned. And in keeping them, there is great reward.” See The American Miracle movie tonight Last night, I brought my family to see The American Miracle docudrama in San Antonio, Texas. It's in 1,000 theaters through Wednesday, June 11th.  We loved it.  It was inspirational to learn about God's providential intervention in human history to enable America to win the War for Independence against seemingly insurmountable odds. We especially enjoyed hearing a portion of Daniel Webster's speech given on July 4, 1826, on the 50th anniversary of the birth of America  and the deaths that day of Thomas Jefferson, age 83,  and John Adams, age 90.  TAYLOR:  “My name is James Arnold Taylor. I played Daniel Webster in The American Miracle. The most powerful thing is the power of Providence on this country that we have forgotten. I can't wait for everybody to be blessed by this film and to know that we're here for a purpose and that God has a plan.” The people who have seen the film, including this homeschool mom, have raved. HOMESCHOOL MOM: “I was very inspired by this film. I'm just a home school mama who just finished 25 years of homeschooling my three kids.  And as I was watching this film, I thought, ‘I've poured into my kids. Now, I wish so many other people could hear this story.' This message could go out to so many kids who don't have the privilege of homeschooling.” MOM #2: “This movie will help you equip your children to understand the true history of America.” Go to www.AmericanMiracleMovie.com, watch the trailer, click on the Tickets tab, type in your zipcode, and purchase tickets for tonight or Wednesday night since it's only in the theaters for a total of three days. 21 Worldview listeners gave $2,439.20 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our midpoint goal of $61,750 to fund half of The Worldview newscast's annual budget by this Friday, June 13th, 21 listeners stepped up to the plate.  We surpassed our 20-donor goal by one donor. Our thanks to Esther in Bolivar, Missouri, Joseph in Blountville, Tennessee, and Augustine in Auburn, California – each of whom gave $25 as well as Tim in Derby, New York who gave $49.20. We appreciate Linda in Lutz, Florida, Katherine in Reddick, Florida, Jeff in Boise, Idaho, and Janna in Midvale, Idaho – each of whom gave $50. We're grateful to God for Heather in LaGrange Park, Illinois, Katherine in Derby, New York, Kara in Granbury, Texas, Jeanne in Thomasville, North Carolina, Raymond in Fort Worth, Texas, Eric in Lakewood, Colorado, Justin in Cary, North Carolina, and Casey in Wilmington, North Carolina – each of whom gave $100.

Those 21 Worldview listeners gave a total of $2,439.20.  Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.  (Drum roll sound effect) $14,671.20 (People clapping sound effect) That means we still need to raise $47,078.80 by this Friday, June 13th to hit the half-way mark, to stay on the air, and fund our 6-member Worldview newscast team for another fiscal year. Listen to this. On Saturday night, I spoke to Scooter in Naples, Florida who was moved by God to give something bigger due to the challenge from my Michigan friend to consider larger gifts.  He has generously offered to match, dollar for dollar, the next 12 Worldview listeners who give a one time gift of $1,000.

Print story South Korean federal and local governments are offering up to $29,000 in cash to couples who agree to get married. The Korean Times also reports that government-provided benefits intending to stir up romantic interest include $370 for dating expenses, $750 for  engagement meeting costs, and $7,500 for travel subsidies. Korean and other Asian societies maintain a very low illegitimacy rate. So, marriage is supposed to help the birth dearth. South Korea's fertility rate is just about the lowest in the world — 0.75 child per woman.

While state officials and legislators have positioned Texas to be “the bitcoin mining capital of the world,” in small towns like Granbury, working-class residents living next to giant, loud, environmentally destructive data centers are the ones paying the price for Texas's crypto boom. “None of us are sleeping,” Cheryl Shadden, a Granbury resident who lives across the street from a 300-megawatt bitcoin mining data center owned by Marathon Digital, tells TRNN. “We can't get rid of this alien invasion in our homes…This is like being a prisoner of war. It's like being tortured with loud sounds and bright lights and being sleep deprived.”In this episode of Working People, we dive deeper into the reality of living next to crypto mining data centers like the one in Granbury, the unseen threats they pose to human and nonhuman life, and what residents in Granbury are doing to fight back. TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with: Cheryl Shadden, a registered nurse anesthetist and resident of Granbury, who lives right next to the site of the Marathon bitcoin mining operation; Dr. Shannon Wolf, Precinct Chair in Hood County, who lives about 3 miles from the bitcoin mine; and Nannette Samuelson, County Commissioner for Precinct 2 in Hood County.Additional links/info: Protect Hood County website Maximillian Alvarez, Working People / The Real News Network, “A bitcoin mine in Texas is “killing us slowly,” local residents say” Andrew R.

I would like to see Texas become the center of the universe for bitcoin and crypto,” US Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said in 2021. In 2024, Republican Governor Greg Abbott said Texas “wears the crown as the bitcoin mining capital of the world.” But in small towns like Granbury, TX, about an hour southwest of Fort Worth, residents are the ones paying the price for Texas' crypto boom. Granbury's 300-megawatt bitcoin mine, which is owned by Marathon Digital, a Florida-based cryptocurrency company, uses a mix of liquid immersion and industrial fans to prevent over 20,000 computers from overheating. Many residents say that it's the constant sound from those fans that has made life increasingly unbearable in their small town—and that their concerns are going ignored by the company and government officials. In this episode of Working People, we speak with four residents of Granbury living near the Marathon bitcoin mine: Danny Lakey, Karen Pearson, Nick Browning, and Virginia Browning.

Many people moved to Granbury, Texas for the peace and quiet. Then, a noisy neighbor moved in – and strange things began happening in town.  Read Andrew's original reporting about the bitcoin mine and Granbury, Texas. 

Researchers developed a prototype of a space suit that could replace the high-absorbency diapers that astronauts wear on space walks. And, a bitcoin mine's cooling fans are so loud they rattle windows. Residents of Granbury, Texas, are having migraines, panic attacks, and hearing loss.A ‘Dune'-Inspired Space Suit To Turn Astronaut Pee Into WaterOn the International Space Station, resources are precious. That includes every single drop of water—which is why astronauts drink their own filtered and recycled pee. That might sound a little undignified, but things get worse when astronauts go out for a space walk. If nature comes calling, their only option is a super-strength diaper.Inspired by the stillsuits that recycle water in Frank Herbert's ‘Dune' series, researchers have come up with a way to keep astronauts clean, dry, and hydrated while they're hard at work. They've designed a system that turns astronauts' pee into nice, clean drinking water while they're suited up.The researchers reported on their prototype in the journal Frontiers in Space Technology. Guest host Rachel Feltman talks with Sofia Etlin, a researcher at Weill Cornell Medicine, about the inspiration behind the stillsuit and how it works.A Noisy Bitcoin Mine Is Causing A Health Crisis In A Texas TownFor the past several years, there's been constant hype about AI, bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies. We've learned that it takes a massive amount of energy, water, and other resources to run the data centers that make these technologies possible, putting climate goals at risk. But these buzzy technologies could have an impact on public health, too.Residents of the small town of Granbury, Texas, say bitcoin is more than just a figurative headache. Soon after a company opened up a bitcoin mine there a couple years ago, locals started experiencing excruciating migraines, hearing loss, nausea, panic attacks, and more. Several people even ended up in the emergency room. The culprit? Noise from the mine's cooling fans.Guest host Rachel Feltman talks with Andrew Chow, technology correspondent at TIME, who investigated the health crisis in Granbury.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
