You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?
The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.
Oregon data centers by the numbers: 111 facilities consume nearly one-quarter of state’s power, according to new report
A first-of-its-kind report details the footprint of the controversial facilities.

At the same time as the agency is rolling back its power plant standards, it’s launching a new study that would test the country’s water supply for abortion medication, contraception, and hormones used in gender-affirming care, along with over 1,000 other medications and chemicals.

For someone who spent their entire career in broadcast television, this was wildly difficult…and necessary for my own mental stability.
This man, two days after this, was invited on ESPN College Gameday to chat football. This is how you normalize political violence.
David Corn@davidcorn.bsky.social · 2w agoThis is stochastic terrorism. Ted Cruz is an extremist encouraging violence.
If you weren’t exhausted with McAfee, there’s a new reason to turn off GameDay. Ted Cruz? Are you kidding me??
I am not sure this TrumpAccounts ad that shows a bunch of tweens saying “sign me up” and then in fine print tells you your kid has to be born 2025 or later to qualify is going to do the thing they want it to do
You know who actually did show up at Ground Zero? Canadian emergency rescue crews.

Hello, Big Ten, the Apple Cup is about to start and it would be great to know which clock we are using before the game kicks off. I don’t care if it’s the broadcast clock, the stadium clock, or some guy in the 15th row using a stopwatch, please let us know which clock is correct. Thanks!

Interesting side of Hitler I was unaware of "Arguably Adolf Hitler’s greatest passion and pastime outside of his quest for world domination was his obsession with architecture and urban design." Here he is with a model of the 330-foot high triumphal arch he wanted. hitler-pics.com/2023/05/06/h...
I must admit, when one feels compelled to delete Apple AND Google Maps from their phone, @mapquest.com is a very pleasant surprise. Wish they had an iPad (non portrait) mode, but so far A+.
A sign of concern about the batshit crazy duo of Trump and Bessent. The Dutch central bank has shifted more than 78 tonnes of gold from New York to London in a politically sensitive move, citing “increasing geopolitical unrest”. www.ft.com/content/1749...

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Matthew 6:5-6

The Lake America thing really drives home that the fundamental divide in this country isn’t left or right, it’s who sees the world and acts like an adult, and who wants to still be a child, throwing tantrums when they don’t get their way. It just happens to map well onto a partisan axis these days.
This is a real sentence from DOJ's legal filing this weekend: "although ballot mail does not present the same operational issues as cremated remains or replica explosives, it is sensitive mail that raises unique operational considerations."
I don't know who the president is going to be in 2028 but it's going to be very important that it be someone with just the right kind of brain damage to take absolutely no prisoners on this shit. the rot needs to be cauterized
