It is darkly funny that American universities are for the most part elite research institutions yet for 90% of them their highest paid employees are football coaches. (And given that most of them are "state Us", that means the highest paid public employees in most states are coaches.)

This is huge: For the first time since the early 1970s, coal power generation has fallen in both China & India.
It undercuts claims that decarbonisation is pointless while they expand coal. Renewables are no longer just adding capacity — they’re displacing coal.

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

Right now it should be absolutely clear why Canadians didn't travel to Minneapolis to watch IIHF World Junior hockey. That is why the stands weren't full.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Darren Fletcher is Man United's caretaker manager and will take charge vs. Burnley on Wednesday.
His 18-year-old sons, Jack and Tyler, have made the Red Devils' last three matchday squads. It's a turbulent time for the club, but a remarkable one for the Fletcher family 😲

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?
