You cannot convince me that frat brothers organically walked into separate police interviews using the same word, “consensual,” and that it wasn’t coordinated. Especially after a witness told police there was allegedly a fraternity meeting to get everyone “on the same page”.

There are no long-term studies on the dangers posed by large-scale data centers. But we've seen enough of the short-term impact to know we can't continue to build them the way we are now.

Do you know why prescription drugs are so expensive? Usually, it's because there's not enough competition in the market. When a company develops a drug, they get a patent giving them exclusive rights to sell it. OK, fair enough.

Texas cuts polling locations ahead of 2026 midterms
Officials in Tarrant County, Texas' third most populous county voted on Tuesday to reduce polling locations by 92. This will result in Tarrant County's voting sites going from 316 in the 2022 midterm elections to 224 for 2026's elections.BREAKING NEWS
It came amid public outcry from dozens of residents opposing the measure during public meetings over the past month.
"People have fought and died for the right to vote," Tarrant County resident Catherine Godby said.
She said it's "wrong to suppress" the right to vote.
"You're on the wrong side of history," she said. "You're dishonoring what it means to be an American, and more than that, you're losing your humanity."
The vote on Tuesday came a year after the board approved a proposal that cut nearly half of all early voting locations in the county ahead of 2025 election, according to Dallas ABC station WFAA.
Republicans in favor of the measure argued that the number of polling locations after the cuts would still meet the mandatory minimum. They also cited efforts to cut costs, citing low voter turnout at various polling locations.
