Data-driven decarbonization at @electricitymaps.com Almost certainly that guy you know from the internet. There are 20 data centers between my house and the grocery store. Sometimes this is a light-on-context soccer account. Sometimes VAR is trash.
Most hyperscaler data center announcements that come with a side dish of community engagement read like: "We are going to use 3GW of electricity and spend $14B on construction and GPUs! But, here's $3 million for your STEM magnet schools and a $500K electrician training program."
My favorite thing about Pochettino staying on with the USMNT through 2030 is that he’ll have to go through some vintage of a qualifying campaign, even if CONCACAF gets 8 teams or whatever in a 64 nation World Cup. Poch away at Azteca! Away at Saprissa! Poch away at Cuba!
Back at work after a week in the Outer Banks. This was Jasmine on day 1, morning 1, walk 1. We're both mentally refreshed and physically a bit tired today.
All week at the beach I’ve been annoyed at an airplane ad for a drug I assumed was a new antidepressant, but it’s a new motion sickness pill, and honestly, well played.
Literally me telling my teenagers why they should bring their wallets on vacation.
[finger to earpiece, shuffling papers] How do you say "welp" in Catalan?

Meh. I thought he could do better, maybe a mid-tier Serie A team? The Championship will be a long slog with limited visibility.
Tom Bogert@tombogert.bsky.social · 2w ago🇺🇸🔴 BREAKING: Middlesbrough is set to sign USMNT midfielder Sebastian Berhalter from the Vancouver Whitecaps, per sources. Deal agreed. Berhalter off to Boro. Fee around $2m, rather than Berhalter leaving for free in 5 months when contract expires. www.nytimes.com/athletic/746...
MLS update: The sound feed of the announcers is broken at the Miami-Chicago game, so Lewandowski’s debut is quite meditative.
*Something* happened in Dominion territory this morning. A couple GW of load dropped, power flickered at home in Ashburn, and Redditors are posting pics of data centers running their backup generators…
And now for the World Cup closing ceremony: Canceling the streaming plan we bought for the month.
It is once again time for me to encourage you to keep watching soccer! And/or playing, coaching, refereeing, managing, supporting, funding, sponsoring, volunteering, etc etc etc soccer.
I feel like a local car dealer commercial but we've got A LOT of local club options: We've got USL, NWSL, USL League One, USL League Two! USL W, WPSL, Gainbridge Super League, and *of course*, MLS! Bad credit? No credit? No problem! Come on down to U.S. soccer-world today!
Katherine@krzonca.bsky.social · 2w agopsssst. hi. me again. world cup is over. go support your local clubs!! 🤗
The most devastating thing I will see on a soccer field in August 2026 is Marc Cucurella in a Real Madrid shirt, ugh.
Pedro Porro to Nico Williams to Ferran Torres to win the World Cup, just like absolutely no one predicted in any way. I love this stupid sport.
Andrés Cantor crying calling Leo crying on Telemundo is going to be a video you want to watch later
Don’t ever ask me about March Madness, but I’ll take my top 1,000 finish at this bracket game with some pride.
Literally cannot wait for Alexi Lalas to be off my television
Can we point Paredes in the direction of the guy who’s going to hand the trophy to Rodri?
