100%, had that conversation recently - IT Are the data stewards, responsible for the care and feeding - Business has to be the owner - Anyone specified by the business can be the consumer

Who should own analytics: IT, the business or both? www.cio.com/article/4229... It’s an age-old question. But it generally has an easy answer in my experience: 1) IT owns the platform 2) LOBs own the insights/KPIs 3) The entire business owns + shares the data

Who should own analytics: IT, the business or both?

Centralize analytics, and it gets slow. Decentralize it, and it gets messy. The answer is a shared seam that keeps data and decisions connected.

Climate.us is officially live! After NOAA ended Climate.gov’s day-to-day operations in 2025, former team members built Climate.us to carry that work forward. Their explanations and graphics have always stood out to me as clear, accessible, and transparent. I’m really looking forward to this reboot.

Growing up in Tennessee (long ago), it seemed like only a matter of time before coal (for sure) and other fossil power would be phased out for a combination of #nuclear and #hydroelectric. Tens of GW of new fossil power in 2026 feels like a betrayal... 🤦‍♂️ www.utilitydive.com/news/tva-pro...

TVA considers up to 26 GW of gas-fired generation

Load growth in the Tennessee Valley Authority region is already outpacing the reference case forecast that was in its draft integrated resource plan, the federal utility said.

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

Yeh off-grid does not seem like a sustainable or scaleable solution. Actually look at Texas (only state that is off the national grid) and the power issues during weather extremes as they have no fallback

That seems to match my intuition. Everybody running their own 1GW+ power plant doesn't seem like a path to long term sustainability for anybody. Eventually, their shareholders will start asking whether power generation is really/still a business differentiator... www.utilitydive.com/news/large-l...

Load growth can help modernize grid, but cost-shift risks are significant: Concentric

On-site generation can be an interim solution as projects await full grid interconnection, but “widespread reliance on off‑grid systems is not a durable path forward,” Concentric said in a new report.

If i were the cynical type, I would almost guess the recommendations to scale back came from our DOGE friends to make their life easier breaking into the government systems, if I were the cynical type.....

And, there you have it. Unless she's wrong about what's happening or why, that's a #DataCenter story that will resonate with people and be cited over and over as part of data center backlash efforts. Will every data center project result in such harms? No. Could many? Yes. Could they do better? Yes!

Finally someone says it outloud. When my son was in College, we used them once, and never again after that. Their customer service and way the treated passengers was beyond horrible. Everyone I talked to that ever used them had similar stories and experiences. www.cnn.com/2026/05/04/b...

A win! A federal judge dismissed the DOJ’s lawsuit seeking Arizona’s unredacted voter rolls and did it with prejudice, meaning it can’t be refiled. Judge Susan Brnovich ruled that the Civil Rights Act does not authorize the demand, siding with

So I have a silly question. The logic being used for the Ballroom now is to be able to have Trump and his admin attend public events in safety. Does that mean no more public appearances, no rallies, no golfing on open golf courses?

They seem to take that last line as a challenge, and sadly nobody calls them on it, not the media (my lord, they are gung ho on his side, as they were in the middle of it), congress, they are hiding over in a corner like on Jan 6

I had a similar thing, but I don't actually use my cable phone (it was cheaper to get the bundle lol), so I turned off the screen notification. Many call scammers just auto-call an entire phone tree trying numbers sequentially for hits
