They are closing other stores too, but I'm sure that didn't help

REI soho closing is pretty bad for anyone who loves buying outdoor gear in the five boroughs. I know their c-suite is retrenching and cost cutting but I think folding up their NYC presence entirely is a huge mistake www.bicycleretailer.com/industry-new...

REI to close three stores, including NYC SoHo location

SEATTLE (BRAIN) — A week after announcing a strategic plan to employees that would involve difficult decisions to grow sales, REI Co-op said it will close three stores next year, including the New Yor...

After freaking everyone the fuck out about Dolly Parton’s health yesterday, her sister issued an “oopsie!” apology today. Woof.

I’m begging everyone not to add unnecessary anxiety to our lives right now. My tummy was in knots over Dolly yesterday 😞

Bloomberg research found wholesale electricity up ~270% in areas near data centers

It doesn't seem like nearly enough people are taking it seriously

One A.I. image isn't too much energy, but 5 million videos? Per day/hour/minute whatever. It's not sustainable

AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring

Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

most "undercover operations" don't begin with the person in charge saying "I am sending out spies to do some spying" afaik—unless the goal is actually to freak out lefties and has nothing to do w/any information-gathering.

Will Oremus @willoremus.com · 1d

Obviously not the main point here, but it's interesting how this is framed as content rather than policy.

"BREAKING" is typically what journalists or influencers say when they have a big story -- not what government officials say when they launch "undercover" operations

So there's no evidence even offered to support the central claim of a case that made it to the Supreme Court? (That the plaintiff is being discriminated against)

The NCAA should just say what they real feel: "We really regret giving every conference an automatic qualifier all those years ago and wish we could take it back. Also: We hate you."

Reports are that with tourney expansion comes a new opening round - revamping the first four to be 12 AQs and the final 12 at large teams.

Moving all these AQs to the opener ain’t it and is a key reason why tourney expansion harms the smaller schools.

@RoccoMiller8
Per reports, the NCAA is leaning towards a model that places the 12 lowest AQs into the "Opening Round" along with the last 12 at large selections, as part of the 76-team proposal.
That would mean tough league champs play early.
Last year's Opening Round teams would've been:
57. UNCW (27-7)
58. Montana (25-9)
59. Robert Morris (26-8)
60. Wofford (19-15)
61. Omaha (22-12)
62. Bryant (23-11)
63. Norfolk St. (24-10)
64. SIUE (22-11)
65. American (22-12)
66. Mount St. Mary's (22-12)
67. Alabama St. (19-15)
68. Saint Francis (16-17)

A scary incident occurred at the Jay St Metrotech Station when a track fire caused the station to fill with smoke.

The @fdny.bsky.social response was delayed due to illegally parked vehicles on Jay St. They couldn't even access the curb due to @nypdnews.bsky.social vehicles parked at a bus stop.
