A recent federal report found 91.3 million acres of public lands — an area nearly the size of Montana — could be used for data centers.
The Trump official overseeing most federal lands has tens of millions invested in the AI industry.

Confidential whistleblower reports obtained by ICIJ say four pharma giants paid tens of millions of dollars to proxies to supply lifesaving drugs to Russian agencies as part of a corrupt system that keeps prices high and limits patients' access. buff.ly/k8VzDsG

Горд представить результат почти годичного расследования о коррупции при поставках в Россию дорогих лекарств. Этот квест мы прошли не одни, а вместе с @ICIJorg и Republik. Даже не знаю, чего в этой истории больше, -- российского коррупционного колорита или западного навыка не замечать российский коррупционный колорит покуда это приносит деньги. proekt.media/investigation/k…

#Warriors guard De’Anthony Melton said GSW’s defense will have “teeth” under Frank Vogel.
Said at media day Golden State’s goal is to have a top-3 defense. Asked him why that’s a realistic goal.
“We got more size at positions that we needed it.”
More: “We got to punch first.”
This cancer drug is saving lives. It’s also threatening to break Canadian healthcare budgets.

A review by ICIJ found cancer drug makers have paid over $1.7 billion in settlements and fines over a 15-year period. But those payments often make up less than 1% of their revenues – and experts said many companies see them as the cost of doing business. buff.ly/vrQTYZr

The site is a dog's breakfast. Cringe-y pop-up ad upon arrival. Spammy links everywhere.
And most of the @McClatchy sites are like this.

In a yearlong investigation led by ICIJ, reporters from more than 37 countries found Keytruda’s high price impacts patients and health systems differently, from Finland to Brazil, India, Malta, Mexico and beyond.

This episode is about Keytruda; we pay significantly more for Keytruda than any other country. What happened to big pharma agreeing to lower drug costs?
@usatoday
It's about an 11 minute listen, "The blockbuster cancer drug Keytruda can cost over $150,000"

The man who secured the Poynter Institute’s ownership of the Tampa Bay Times and his own legacy. RIP, Andy Barnes
Former Poynter chairman and Tampa Bay Times CEO Andrew Barnes died Thursday at the age of 86. He leaves behind a wife, Molly, and three children, Chris, Ben and Elizabeth.
During the more than 50 years Barnes worked in journalism, he helped lead the St. Petersburg Times, now the Tampa Bay Times, to multiple Pulitzer Prizes and greatly expanded and modernized the Poynter Institute. But perhaps his most significant contribution was shepherding the institute through an attempted hostile takeover of the Times, ensuring that the paper would remain independently owned.
