My view on data centers has become significantly more nuanced since I started digging into the industry, but even so, this line of argumentation is awful. "We have to let our neighbor use our yard to make moonshine. If we don't, they might go make 'shine somewhere else!" Yes...that's the point.
This might finally be what gets the UChicago econ and poli sci departments back on speaking terms

1) damn. 2) that last replay angle is a lovely shot of the technique 3) damn.

Early in the war, there was talk about how capped oil wells would keep oil prices high past the end of the war. Tankers getting blown out of the water will do the same thing. These take years to build and cost around $100 million, both of which will drive up costs.

Put together some thoughts on the only player #MNUFC has been reliably connected to so far this window. TL;DR: McCowatt is Papa Johns of attacking midfielders. If it's easily available, I'm fine with it, but I'm not about to fight anyone for it.
Call Up A Storm@callupastorm.bsky.social · 3d agoGood news: The Loons finally got connected to a potential transfer! Bad news: His team doesn't want to sell him and it's getting ugly! Callum McCowatt isn't going to knock anyone's socks off, but he'd be a solid addition...if he's ever allowed to leave Denmark. callupastorm.com/rumor-watch-...
Every time I think MLS refs hit the bottom of the barrel, they find a new low.
We are indebted to the contributions of the Black community, both within soccer, and beyond. Tonight we celebrate Black Excellence.

Max Dowman is going to be a problem for Arsenal this year. Everyone's going to be focused on stopping the big names and he's going to absolutely ruin some teams with the space they give him.
“Dan, the people are demanding an extended look at whether the Loons’ underlying stats accurately reflect their performance!” Well, damn. I can’t say no to a request like that…

Sixers got LeBron AND Chris at the expense of the Wolves. Tough summer for Wolves fans. Thanks for your incredible coverage, Chris, enjoy the parade in July!

This is the well-paid comms exec equivalent of Principal Skinner stammering "I was only in there to get directions on how to get away from there!"
Manuel Veth@manuelveth.bsky.social · 6d agoStatements flying everywhere. Here is FIFA’s response posted at 8:15pm Pacific Time. “Nono we never wanted to sell the game.” “Hear us out. We were rushed by media reports.” This is the biggest trying to back off without backing off statement I have seen in some time.

Sarah Langs@slangsonsports.bsky.social · 6d agoWith Kody Clemens’ walk-off grand slam on Derek Shelton’s birthday, the Twins are the second team in MLB history with a walk-off grand slam on the manager’s birthday, joining: Jose Altuve on Dusty Baker’s 72nd birthday in 2021 (June 15) Birthdays are important @EliasSports
7.3% chance of winning, making the grand slam by Clemens a +0.927 WPA, the highest possible gain for a single pitch/swing

News: The U.S. economy grew at a disappointing 1.5% in the 2nd quarter of 2026. Congratulations to @sarahbca.bsky.social for her “Bookmark this” comment last December when Howard Lutnick said 2Q of 2026 would be “amazing.” @atrupar.com
Watching the PIF dissolve and take down NUFC and LIV Golf, while satisfying, does create an oddly perverse incentive for other billionaires. Should Stan Kroenke entreat Houthi rebels to attack the UAE in order to disrupt Man City's transfer budget? Well... it's got to be on the table, doesn't it?

Folks who pay way more attention to F1 than I do: Does Formula E really matter to anyone anymore or is it mostly just a sideshow?
