Devastating loss for the city of Chicago.

Experts say the move could help protect one of the planet’s most important ecosystems—often called the “lungs of the Earth.”

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion.

It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make.

In a gathering around Wrigley Field, Bears fans who live in Chicago fumed about the potential move, while most fans from Indiana celebrated the team’s announcement: “Hammond is more Chicago than Arlington Heights.” https://t.co/WFcUZLOuF9

If you are okay with the Chicago Bears Moving to Hammond, Indiana, you have definitely never been to the Hammond-East Chicago (IN)-Gary area, which I can tell you I *have* been to many times...

...both in my waking hours and in my nightmares.

This decision to move is *obscene*.

Rivers around the world are quietly running out of oxygen, and climate change is emerging as the main culprit. A sweeping global analysis of more than 21,000 river systems found that nearly 80% have been steadily losing dissolved oxygen over the past four decades, threatening fish, biodiversity, and the overall health of freshwater ecosystems. Tropical rivers are being hit the hardest, even more than rivers in rapidly warming polar regions.

Even the glaciers that have so far resisted global warming are now starting to collapse.The hitherto stable ones of the Pamir mountains in Central Asia lost massive amounts of ice last year. How many more warnings do we need?

Seems like a bait and switch. After predictable outcry, Trump DOJ pulls back slush fund for insurrectionists, but retains tax immunity for Trump. Was that the plan all along? It’s all corrupt.

Daily Herald Opinion: The most disappointing, and most useless, thing about the reaction among Illinois leaders to the Chicago Bears’ statement Friday that the franchise is advancing its plans to move to Hammond, Indiana, is that it was all about blame… https://t.co/RCui3ggPTA

This may well be the last time Europe extends an invitation to clowns to mark D-Day. Not a single person in the Trump administration comes close to having the character those landings demanded. The Americans who stormed those beaches on June 6, 1944 were fighting against exactly the kind of people Hegseth represents

As the race for artificial intelligence intensifies, tech developers in China are submerging data centers in the ocean to slash the cost of cooling.

The novel approach raises critical concerns about the long-term ecological impact on marine life.

Underwater data centers designed for intensive AI workloads are already operating off the coasts of Shanghai and Hainan, utilizing the ocean's natural depth for passive cooling.

Because cooling typically consumes 40% to 50% of a conventional land-based facility's energy, developers report that underwater submersion drops this figure below 10%. By bypassing energy-guzzling industrial chillers, these subsea modules drastically cut carbon footprints and conserve vital terrestrial resources.

However, this environmental shortcut comes with a severe catch.

The localized heat emitted by these massive submerged server clusters has environmentalists worried. Operating at a breakneck speed to win the global AI race, tech firms may be risking the creation of marine dead zones by introducing constant, unnatural warmth into fragile underwater ecosystems.

With the long-term biological consequences still unknown, the headlong rush to scale up computing power risks repeating historic mistakes of economic expansion at the direct expense of the planet's biosphere.

🚨 ICE announces it will no longer report deaths of recently released detainees.

This comes after the deaths of recently released detainees surge to a two-decade high.

[USA TODAY @USATODAY]

The Bears bought land for a new stadium in a Chicago suburb, then said they wanted to build downtown. Now they say they'll move to Indiana. Here's what matters. https://t.co/UuN11HMqQD

[Michael McCann @McCannSportsLaw]

The Chicago Bears are not necessarily moving to Hammond, Indiana. The deal isn't done + there's an extensive NFL review process before it could happen. But don't expect litigation to block the team from relocating, either.

Illinois politicians and the Chicago Bears brass aren’t exactly beating the inept allegations as this interminable stadium dance continues.

Dawa's survival was never a tale of luck. It exposed an Everest economy where a man nearly died because no one would fund a helicopter, while a handful of Sherpas prosper as oligarchs and the poorest are treated as expendable labour, writes @sedhairoshan

Hear me out…

A fleet of Bears-themed water taxis that double as floating sports bars, shuttling fans from downtown Chicago to Hammond, Indiana on game days.
