Friendly amendment to this: data centers should bring and pay for double the amount of clean energy they need. Half for them, and half for the community.

New strong candidate for best sentence of journalism in 2026 just dropped in this wild Kimberly Guilfoyle story from WSJ “‘Honey please I need you to get this done for me today,’ she texted [Eric] Deters, adding a prayer hands emoji and a PDF with bill payment instructions from American Express.”

The difference in interviewing the men’s team before the world Championships and the women’s team was so stark I’m so glad more people are reporting on the boom that is women’s flag football. It should be in all 50 states at the high school level soon!

Ugh. Alberta officials plan to override local planning and let the province rip out urban bike lanes. A loathsome idea, imported from Ontario.

With the province expected to take more authority over municipal bike lanes in the months ahead, one Calgary councillor wants the city to pause any new bike lane projects in the meantime.

I’m on a flight next to a guy who is listening to Seinfeld with no headphones and all I hear is the laughtrack and the worst bass noises of all time every 15 seconds and all I can think about is this.
Pftompkins.bsky.social: The music of Seinfeld, divorced from the show itself, is nothing short of disgusting. Imagine if the show didn’t exist but the music somehow did. Hearing it, your face would twist in angry revulsion

I understand that paywalls are annoying, but the grim reality for everything right now, is if you want something to exist, you have to put money towards it. Every creative person is having their life's work hoovered up by AI companies. Layoffs never end. Private equity keeps making things worse.

You know this is my third or fourth go around with this kind of technological innovation for consumers and citizens. And a lot of it is the same. Same pattern of exaggerated benefits, underestimated challenges. What’s new this time is the sector isn’t even pretending to care about the consumer.

Is there a reason that Democratic Congressional Leadership hasn't said the first bill they will pass if they win in the midterms is to RAISE THE FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE???? This seems straightforward to me even if it won't be signed. What am I missing? Fed Minimum wage is at $7.25 (since July 2009)

This is part of the point of the separatists forcing a referendum—to cement their place in the political landscape, and so long as Danielle Smith and others refuse to clean house within the UCP, it will remain a de facto separatist party.
