Where does your power come from?
Key Takeaways:
Renewables generate 67% of Canada’s electricity, compared to just 22% in the U.S.
Natural gas is the top power source in most U.S. states, while hydro dominates in Canada.
Coal, nuclear, wind, solar, and even petroleum still lead in select regions. What powers your state or province? According to this report on the Voronoi app, the answer depends heavily on where you live. While natural gas dominates much of the United States, Canada generates two-thirds of its electricity from renewables, largely thanks to hydro power.
This map shows the single largest source of electricity generation in every U.S. state and Canadian province and territory, as of September 2025. The data for this visualization comes from the Canadian Centre for Energy Information and Ember. Overall, renewables account for 67% of the power mix in Canada, compared to 22% in the United States.
Natural Gas Dominates the U.S. Map - Natural gas is the leading source of electricity in over half of U.S. states. From Texas and Florida to Pennsylvania and Virginia, gas-fired power plants anchor local grids.

'Stop cracking your knuckles at the dinner table', she'd scream at us...
Does knuckle cracking cause arthritis: myth or reality? We’ve all been told that knuckle cracking causes arthritis. But is that really true?
Fortunately, knuckle cracking has been the subject of a fair amount of research. One of the most famous pieces of research was conducted by a doctor in California, Dr Donald Unger, who set out on a mission to see if cracking knuckles really causes arthritis as many people claim.
In order to prove his theory, Dr Donald Unger, cracked the knuckles of his left hand at least twice a day for over 60 years whilst never cracking knuckles on his right hand. The knuckles on the left were cracked at least 36,500 times. The results of his personal experiment were surprising. Decades later, he took X-rays of both his hands and found there was no difference between his hands and no signs of arthritis in his left hand.
Dr Unger concluded that cracking knuckles does not cause arthritis. He stated: “There is no apparent relationship between knuckle cracking and the subsequent development of arthritis of the fingers.”
Whew. Thank God somebody's out there who's obsessed with a silly idea...
There he is, all ready to pounce...

What part of the words 'deadly force' don't these kids understand?
Cops found a group of roughly 100 to 200 unruly youths and ordered them to disperse several times. Video posted to social media shows people screaming and running as police officers wrangled with members of the baby-faced mob outside the mall, with some appearing to resist and fight the cops.
Other youngsters - who had the day off from school for Presidents’ Day - were spotted whipping out their cellphones to film the chaos.
Granted I'm from a much different generation than these TikTok addicted goofballs, but we would never, ever think of fucking with a cop like these kids think they have the impunity to do. Just the thought of the night stick alone was enough to keep us at bay. Ya do have to wonder what it is that so emboldens these kids to actually attack an office like ou see in the video above. Gotta be a combination of really bad parenting and schools that fail to address civics in a way like we did. Truly amazing - and frightening. That's how those two morons in Minneapolis died. Luckily, none of these kids did, but what lesson did they learn? They learned they can fuck with cops. Not a good lesson.

Two women in California are unhappy about phosphates and carrageenan in Costco’s Rotisserie Chicken. I'm fine with them. I mean the additives, not the women.
Talk about a frivolous lawsuit! These two ladies in California claim that they have been misled by the information on the label of Costco’s famous rotisserie chicken that states “no preservatives.” Why? Because the listed additives include sodium phosphate and carrageenan. That, they say, merited a lawsuit. They go on to claim that Costco "has systematically cheated customers out of tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars by falsely advertising its Kirkland Signature Seasoned Rotisserie chicken as containing no preservatives.” Really? Who exactly is doing the cheating here? Let’s start with the fact that sodium phosphate and carrageenan are not preservatives, you morons.
I wonder which one of the two pieces of shit are married to the lawyer who filed the suit. He or he should be dealt with accordingly as well. Juss' sayin'...

They’re having a blast. Knucklehead amateur pyrotechnicians staged a stunning illegal fireworks show off Los Angeles’ iconic, beleaguered Sixth Street Bridge - drawing sparks from one of Mayor Karen Bass’ challengers.
A viral Feb. 13 post on Instagram claims to document a “safely coordinated” firework spectacle on the bridge linking Downtown LA with Boyle Heights, despite the video showing exploding fireworks shower sparks on spectators and a scooter weave through incendiaries.

I've said it countless times. 'It's a good place to be from...'
There's two ways the phrase can be taken, and I mean both of the ways. Growing up there gave me a unique perspective on life and people, and I wouldn't trade either with anyone. It's also a great place to be from if you take it for granted you're not THERE anymore. The whole State's going down the shitter, and their new Guvernator is gonna make her predecessor look like Ronald Reagan.
There was a time when New Jersey towns - big and small - mostly marched in one direction: forward and growing. But the census numbers from 2020 to 2023 tell a different story for a handful of places. In a state where the overall population climbed ever so slightly, a cluster of towns quietly shrank — sometimes sharply.
Population decline is hitting New Jersey’s biggest cities hard. At the top of the overall losses list? Jersey City. Once one of the fastest‑growing cities in the Northeast, Census estimates show it shed more residents than any other NJ municipality between 2020 and 2023. Newark - my home town - followed, and not by a tiny margin - another big city with a storied past now seeing more people pack up than settle in. Union City, North Bergen, and Bayonne round out the top five, major players along the Hudson whose shrinkage speaks volumes about broader demographic shifts in the region. All five of those cities are not surprisingly all Democrat, solid blue cities.
So where are all these people going? The short answer: most are leaving the Garden State altogether. Migration studies consistently show New Jersey as one of the states with the highest out-of-state moves in the nation. According to the latest United Van Lines National Movers Study, New Jersey ranked No. 1 in outbound household moves, with roughly 72% of moves from the state headed to someplace else.

And so, the Zohran shit show begins...
Zohran Mamdani, New York City's new socialist Mayor, just dropped a bomb on the future of the once-great City. Talking about how he plans to pay for all the free shit he wants to do and give away, he outlined his plan: "What I've proposed is that we raise $10 billion to pay for our entire economic agenda and start to Trump proof our city… And we will do so in two key ways.
He added: “And we will do so in two key ways. The first is to match the state's top corporate tax rate to that of New Jersey. We are at 7.25%. They're at 11.5%. Corporations can pay it over there, they can pay it over here.
And the beauty of it is that it doesn't just apply to corporations headquartered in New York City, because when you say this, people will say, well, they're going to go to Florida. Wherever you are headquartered, as long as you do business in the state of New York, you are taxable for that corporate tax.
— The second is taxing the top 1% of New Yorkers. We're talking about people who make a million dollars a year or more, taxing them just by a flat 2% tax increase.”
A single filer earning $1 million annually in New York City can expect to pay over 50% of their income in combined taxes, as the city has the highest tax rate for top earners in the U.S. Total taxes include federal income tax (up to 37%), NY State tax (8.82%–10.9%), and NYC resident tax (approx. 3.876%), bringing the total marginal rate potentially over 50%.
Here is a breakdown of the tax components for a $1,000,000 annual income in NYC:
Federal Income Tax: The highest marginal rate is 37% for top earners. New York State Income Tax: For income over $1 million, the rate is 8.82% up to 10.9% for higher brackets. New York City Income Tax: Residents pay an additional local income tax, with top rates at approximately 3.876%. FICA Tax (Social Security/Medicare): While Social Security is capped at $184,500 in 2026, Medicare taxes ($1.45% for employees) apply to the full amount.
Combined, these taxes often result in an effective tax rate exceeding 50% for top earners, making it the highest tax burden in the U.S. And he wants to add on to that...

THAT is a big cat. Making a withdrawl? Maybe...
A man in NoCen Florida (technically, not a 'Florida Man' by our definition) captured a rare and surprising wildlife encounter after spotting a Florida panther standing directly outside an outdoor ATM machine in broad daylight. From inside his car, he filmed the big cat calmly lingering near the ATM as if it was waiting its turn, creating a moment that looked almost unreal.
Florida panthers are an endangered subspecies of cougar and are primarily found in southern Florida, which is why this sighting was so unique.
These large predators are known for being elusive and typically avoid human activity, so sightings near developed areas are uncommon. However, panthers may occasionally wander into parking lots or commercial zones when their natural habitat overlaps with roads and growing communities.
The panther may have been passing through the area, drawn by nearby vegetation, open space, or simply using the quiet parking lot as a route while traveling. Like many wild cats, they often pause to observe their surroundings before moving on.
Wildlife experts recommend staying inside your vehicle if a panther is spotted nearby, keeping a safe distance, and never attempting to approach or feed it. Encounters like this highlight how important it is to protect natural habitats while also remaining cautious in areas where wildlife may appear unexpectedly.
How fast were you going? Take a guess, officer...
The Ohio Supreme Court decided in 2010 that a cop’s VISUAL determination of speed is all that is needed to support a speeding ticket. The facts show that an officer gave a ticket to the defendant for going 79 mph in a 60 mph zone. He testified that he was trained and tested to guesstimate speed to within 3 or 4 mph back in the Police Training Academy. The case is silent on how often he is re-tested, but indicates that he has made 'hundreds' of visual estimations since then. It doesn’t say if his estimations were measured against radar.
He estimated the defendant’s speed to be 70mph and had a Doppler radar that showed 82. However, at trial the officer failed to produce his 'papers' showing him to be certified in the radar so the conviction was based solely on his testimony and estimate of speed.
The Ohio Supreme Court held that the officer’s visual estimate was sufficient to support the conviction. The reason? He passed the OPOTA training course and was 'experienced' at estimating speed.
