...can remember when then 19 year old "McNuts" was leading solo in a stage of the Dubai Tour in 2018 and an upset win for the small Rally team win seemed possible, but he was reeled in close to the finish and the social media manager briefly lost it

House Republicans failed to muster the necessary votes to back a proposed constitutional amendment that would set membership of SCOTUS at nine, although they did remind everyone that the number of justices is not enshrined in the Constitution and can be amended at any time by statute.

Lots of bike racing today, but check out the Philly Classic if you can - it’s not a huge race by euro standards but it’s a Big Deal for American cycling

The news from Volta Portugal and Milligan this week is just brutal. At risk in and out of races from drivers and it just seems so random

It's ok to be silly. But the fact that every other AI company is rolling out variants of the same story after it earned OpenAI so much coverage should make you suspicious.

if you're reading all these articles as they come out and assuming the story is "these models are escaping containment and causing danger" and not "this is a PR campaign by companies desperate to build hype" I think you are very silly.

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

The Flanders-Baloise team will stop at the end of the season, long expected but confirmed now. Can't find a replacement sponsor after Flemish govt. pulled funding. Has been running for 33 years and sent over a 100 riders onto other pro teams. Press release www.teamflanders-baloise.be/nieuws (🇳🇱)

At first thought UAE tactics made no sense vis a vis stage win but didn’t know Del Toro was moving so far up the GC. So tough balance to strike there. Still think that was Pog gift tho

Woof. Bahrain probably gets a yellow card I bet. But that’s also sprinting. Gaviria was launching and couldn’t really check up. Meanwhile Alpecin with the perfect leadout for nothing again

Everyone talked about how early MVDP dropped off Philipsen a few days ago but Waerenskjold was in the wind for even longer on stage 8. Bol early leadout helped but still that man can go long in the same vein as Kristoff

BTW if you're wondering if orbital data centers are possible: each GPU rack of four H100 server boards requires a radiator the size of a pickleball court. An actual AI data center will require thousands of them. If Musk moved Colossus to space, it'd need radiators the size of Disneyland (1.4m m^2).

Musk functionally ran the US government for 6 months last year and managed to: increase spending, slash services, kill 100,000s, and help nurture both Ebola & Screwworms. Yet somehow no one mentions this when they talk about the company he is going to take public this week.

Riders who so clearly cause big crashes like today’s in Tour de Wallonie stage 3 should be suspended. Not for years mind you, but possibly for a month or two.
