asterisk — the Premier League without Manchester City
Set Manchester City's punishment and watch 18 Premier League seasons rewrite themselves: new champions, cup winners, European places and relegations.

8 years ago (!), the Football Leaks investigation exposed alleged financial misconduct at #ManchesterCity. Today, an independent commission found the club guilty on 114 of the 115 charges. Here's my colleague @derwinterbach.bsky.social on how it all started: youtu.be/0nYgcHCSSFI

How far can I get using AI in cartography? I drove Canada's Icefields Parkway last month, and want to make a poster map of it. Can AI help, and do it well? I started on my phone, then realised it needed more than that and moved to the desktop. AI-first: Claude, a bit of ChatGPT. A thread... 🧵🗺️
A zoomed-out view of the whole basemap, roughly 285 by 311 km of the Canadian Rockies in a painterly natural style. Snow-capped ranges and white glaciers run diagonally through dark green forested valleys, with turquoise lakes and rivers threading between them, opening onto flatter green-and-tan farmland in the north-east.

NEW: The power crunch threatening America’s AI ambitions Big tech is spending hundreds of billions on data centres in the US to fuel the development of artificial intelligence. Our latest visual story explores the main challenge that these grand plans face: access to power. ig.ft.com/ai-power/
A US map showing hundreds of operating and significantly larger planned data centres clustered along major power lines, with large concentrations in Virginia, Texas and the Midwest. A grid of coloured power icons illustrates that planned US grid upgrades can supply only about 25GW of the electricity needed for new data centres over the next three years, not enough to cover the 44GW of demand, leaving a large gap. Small charts for nine US grid regions show data centre power demand climbing sharply toward 2030 while spare grid capacity remains flat or grows slowly, with the gap between new demand and spare grid capavity growing in key regions like PJM and Ercot in Texas. A stacked area chart shows US data-centre electricity demand rising from around 200TWh in 2025 steeply to more than 600TWh in 2035, with natural gas making up the largest share of expected generation
