INDIAN POINT DATA CENTER--TRENDING ON LOCAL SOCIAL MEDIA--EXCITED TOWN CONVERSATION, JOBS, ETC., THE VILLAGE PAGES? MUCH UNHAPPINESS

Once home to the Indian Point nuclear power plant, the 240-acre site in Buchanan, New York, is now being reimagined as a next-generation data center campus. To support this evolution, CHA is delivering comprehensive engineering services to facilitate a seamless interconnection to the regional power grid. The effort is a collaborative endeavor involving Con Edison and the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO), with CHA guiding the System Impact Assessment (SIA) process.

By Roy K. Altman

Nicholas Kristof’s recent essay about supposed Israeli sex crimes against Palestinian detainees is a travesty—not simply because it’s wrong as a matter of fact, or because it regurgitates long-debunked blood libels against the Jewish state at a time of rising antisemitism around the world.

TRENDING ON LOCAL SOCIAL MEDIA

Many of us are not on social media but we get to hear about it periodically and are sometimes sent screenshots...trending at the moment:

***For some reason, YIKYAK is trending and this old article from 2016---it is unclear why: Croton-Harmon Schools Block Yik Yak To Fight Anonymous Bullying

******5/19 is the vote. Again, hope springs eternal that the usual last minute social media fun and games don't erupt.

In the meantime, the positive chatter continues about the second FORUM VIDEO sponsored by the League. There seems to be a consensus that the incumbents are distancing themselves from the record. But you really should watch it yourself EverythingCroton: VIDEO---LEAGUE CANDIDATES FORUM---CROTON HARMON SCHOOL DISTRICT---NOW AVAILABLE---5/12

And there's an article about it from that new Croton News site at EverythingCroton: FROM THE NEW CROTON NEWS SITE---CANDIDATES CLASH OVER ACCOUNTABILITY, TECHNOLOGY AND ACADEMIC RIGOR AT CROTON-HARMON BOARD FORUM

And regarding the library: EverythingCroton: SOME LIBRARY THOUGHTS AND MORE---JUST A REMINDER THAT THE 5/19 VOTE IS OPEN TO EVERY VOTER LIVING IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT RESIDENT; RE-POSTING A GAZETTE LETTER BY REQUEST

***Chatter still continues bout the latest school academic numbers---Science, ELA, Math, etc. and Croton's ranking---and much disappointment in it all---go to EverythingCroton: SCARSDALE AGAIN----SEE NY SCHOOL DISTRICTS RANKED 1 TO 599 BASED ON 2025 SCIENCE TEST RESULTS---AND CROTON IS...

***Lots of chatter, bordering almost on desperation--with next to no one it seems paying attention, on everything from Gaza to tariffs to Trump, yada yada yada.

FYI--A LOT OF FOOD INFLATION DATES BACK TO 2020...

A lot of food inflation dates back to 2020-----An interesting breakdown by category. Some (beef, coffee) continues to rise because consumers are willing to pay. And beef is controlled by a few producers.

But all food began a sharp rise in 2020. Once inflation takes off, it is tough to stop. MORE AT https://wolfstreet.com/2026/05/18/food-inflation-in-america-by-product-it-boils-down-to-a-sharp-re-acceleration-on-top-of-already-very-high-prices/

BEWARE THE VERY DANGEROUS PLANT KNOWN AS THE GIANT HOGWEED

At Everything Croton, we always make it an annual point to talk about THE VERY DANGEROUS PLANT KNOWN AS THE GIANT HOGWEED in the months of May and June. This is typically the time in which these plants reach their amazing size of 10 to 15 feet (click on the public domain photo).

For those who don't know, THE GIANT HOGWEED can cause massive and painful blistering if any of the juice/sap makes skin contact. It should never be removed by a homeowner but by a professional only.

Suspected sightings should be reported to the NYSDEC immediately. DO NOT TOUCH THIS PLANT!

MIRANDA DEVINE---FAUCI CAN'T ESCAPE HIS "ORIGIN'AL COVID LIE

Dr. Anthony Fauci deserves to be indicted — but he probably won’t be, because his role in the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic that he fought so hard to cover up opens up a can of worms that nobody wants to confront.

He has his great patron Joe Biden’s blanket preemptive pardon to keep him safe from federal charges. But the recent indictment of his former factotum, David Morens, on federal charges of conspiracy and record-destruction for scheming to cover up Fauci’s role in funding the risky gain-of-function research on bat viruses at the notorious Wuhan lab in China, where the COVID-19 outbreak almost certainly began, has raised hopes that Fauci is still in the crosshairs of the DOJ.
