Finally. Now Mayo only have to deal with the one curse.
I did not know about Gaelic football rules or the Mayo curse until a few weeks ago. Heck, as a German who never lived in Ireland, I couldn't have pointed out county Mayo on a map until a few months ago. But this is single-handedly one of the best moments of sport I've witnessed in my time! #Mayo4Sam

France is mandating solar panels on every large commercial car park in the country — turning millions of square metres of idle asphalt into one of Europe's most productive clean energy assets. I have been mentioning this for months - they are shooting up on all the supermarket car parks.

knightcolumbia.org/content/ai-a... Now up at @knightcolumbia.org - Cosma Shalizi and myself on "AI as Social Technology." It says that AI models are really a technology of social mediation that allow humans to connect with thoughts of other humans. Short-ish thread with major points follows.

This robot installs 80 panels/hour. One every 45 sec. 1,920/day ≈ 0.0008 GW/day per line. Sounds small. It’s not. Scale this across thousands of lines and #solar becomes manufacturing, not construction. 👉 10,000 lines = 8 GW/day. That’s HOW China is winning the energy game.

Perhaps other countries might try this strategy? Seems like a good one. But what do I know? www.euronews.com/2026/03/11/s...
Spain could be the only EU country to beat energy price hikes
Spain spent the last six years investing heavily in wind and solar energy, leading to some of the cheapest power prices in Europe.
