Once had a guy threaten to sue me if I published an unsolicited written statement he sent me after I pointed out that it was factually false…

Truly the absolute best in the world at hosting a studio sports chat show. It's not even close. In fact, ANY studio host could learn from his preparation, willingness to pivot on the fly, and understanding of when to chime in and when to lay back. The absolute GOAT.

🗳️ 10 days until the voter registration deadline.
South Carolina’s deadline to register to vote for the Nov. 3 General Election is Oct. 2. Check your registration status and find voter registration information at SCVotes.gov.
Truly fascinating how consistently wrong all of ESPN's reporting on this has been. Like, the opposite of true. As long as the broadcast partnership is ok...

The water that data centers use for electricity generation in just the top 7 states with the most data centers is the equivalent of 12-times the annual water use of Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Washington, DC, combined.
The think tank Ceres has a new report detailing how data centers use much more water for electricity generation than they do in the facilities themselves.
Bloomberg just reported on the study, saying that data centers in the seven states with the highest concentrations of them use about 3.4 trillion gallons of freshwater for electric power generation every year, but few electric power producers have connected this increasing power demand to water supply risks.

Ceres prorates power plants' total water withdrawals (largely returned, including hydropower) in 7 states to data centers by their electricity share; experts say such aggregates are not meaningful as impacts are local and consumptive use matters more than withdrawals.

Leaked chats and documents showcase the Russian presidential administration’s role in false-flag vandalism attacks and election interference campaigns in Europe and beyond. @OCCRP @DelfiEE @VSquare_Project vsquare.org/leaked-russian-d…
I have seen zero independent polling of this runoff, but the numbers must be brutal for the Evette campaign for the President to hedge like this AFTER early voting ends.
President Trump changed his tune today heading into SC’s runoff next week, saying that either GOP gov contender — not just Lt Gov Pamela Evette, whom he endorsed before the primary, but also AG Alan Wilson — would be a good pick.

I can suspend disbelief for a Spielberg alien movie, but could not get past the depiction of a local TV studio. Clearly nobody associated with Disclosure Day has been inside one in 20 years! Was this script written in 1993?

So, if you live in Texas, an athlete can wager on his/her own team and the courts will protect them from punishment? I don't want to overreact, but doesn't that undermine the fundamental integrity of any college sports in Texas?
