Korea is flexing here with this highly artistic floating solar farm, newly commissioned days ago.
47.2 MW of capacity located near the 50 MW Imha hydroelectric dam. The modules are arranged into the shape of Korea’s flag and the Mugunghwa, Korea’s national flower.

Drake Maye’s crushed blitzes all year, but when teams get pressure without sending extra rushers, the numbers change fast.

I don’t believe being an NFL fan means selling your soul, or even being a hypocrite. But we should probably at least not ignore that it’s adjacent.

Carter Arey knew he couldn’t make a 45-yard field goal to win the $25,000 prize.
So the lifelong Missouri fan picked a different target.

Cucumber picker. Imagine a tractor with wings. Each wing had 3 twin mattresses and you lay face down tossing the cukes into a basket suspended in front of you.
I was 12 and made $3.65/hr.

One of the things that has pretty annoying is that if you have any kind of bullshit meter, if you have anything inside of yourself that doesn’t enjoy being lied to, the last couple of years of almost every area of public life have been driving you up a fucking wall

The most electric baseball video of the year comes to us via the college summer league PORTLAND PICKLES, who tagged in an ostensibly random fan for an at-bat on fan appreciation night and he immediately hit a tater. Elite pxp call too

Calling the marines to drone strike Glonzo
It’s hard to find a trend in the electricity system right now that *doesn’t* point to near-term rate hikes if not a broad affordability crisis. That’s a serious problem for climate policy, but also the American economy writ large. I wrote about it: heatmap.news/politics/ele...

One thing that keeps me up these days: how is the next party in power supposed to govern? The GOP has signaled it will not always be bound by laws or international agreements it disagrees with. It’s not absolute — they blew up part of reconciliation, but not all; ignore some court orders, etc. (1/7)

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords
