Should Amazon's AI data centers get a pass on emissions because AI is "too important" to slow down?
Amazon's new 7.65GW Texas AI data center is powered by a custom 35-turbine gas plant permitted to emit about 33 million tons of CO2 a year — potentially the single largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the US, per Tom's Hardware.

Islam Makhachev just set a UFC record with win #17 straight at UFC 330 — what's the biggest takeaway?
At UFC 330 in Philadelphia, Islam Makhachev beat Ian Machado Garry by unanimous decision to retain the welterweight title — his 17th straight win — a new UFC record. Garry, who gave up real height and reach, was competitive early (especially round three) but couldn't stop Makhachev's takedowns and control over five rounds. Afterward Makhachev said "I'm not like young guy, I don't have much time" and wants to fight every 3-4 months while he can; Garry, only 28, says he'll be back for the title. What stands out most to you from this one?
