With all the Sun Belt discussion happening today, I’m thinking about this game again 1982 D1-AA semifinal game between LA Tech and Delaware in Ruston LA Seeing teams like Tech and UL every year or two would be sweet, plus CCU, APP, Marshall, ODU, and Georgia Southern annually

So damn good. I’ve listened and watched this 10 times. You should too.

"Republic. I like the sound of the word... Some words can give you a feeling that makes your heart warm. Republic is one of those words.” —John Wayne as Colonel Davy Crockett in The Alamo (1960)

Ladies & Gentlemen, we present to you the largest single trunk live oak in the whole universe 😮🌳 The tree lives in Iron City Georgia, which didn’t exist when the tree germinated, & nor did the US

May 8, 1945. The guns fell silent in Europe. Today we remember the millions of Americans who fought, sacrificed, and won the cause of freedom.

❤️😤💙 👊 WE RUN THE SIP‼️ BIG HIT by one my best friends, GREAT teammate and leader #96 Jay Webb @mayfordthree ⁦@OleMissFB⁩ #WarWin #HottyToddy

Thank you to all those who served. We admire your compassion for our country and appreciate all the sacrifices that you experience on a daily basis. God bless America, God bless our troops! 🇺🇸

SpaceX COO Gwynne Shotwell just outlined the most ambitious infrastructure commitment in the history of the technology industry. And it starts on the ground. Shotwell: “xAI will commit to develop 1.2 gigawatts of power as our supercomputer’s primary power source, and that will be for every additional data center as well.” Not drawing from the grid. Rebuilding it. Shotwell: “We’ll expand what is already the largest global megapack power installation in the world. The installation will provide enough backup power to the city of Memphis and more than sufficient energy to power the town of Southaven, Mississippi.” This is not a software company optimizing an algorithm. This is an industrial mobilization. Shotwell: “We will build state-of-the-art water recycling plants that will protect approximately 4.7 billion gallons of water in the Memphis aquifer each year.” Read that list again. 1.2 gigawatts of primary power. The world’s largest megapack installation. 4.7 billion gallons of protected water annually. Thousands of American workers on both sides of the Tennessee-Mississippi border. This is what winning looks like before anyone writes a line of code. And then Shotwell said what no tech company has ever said in a White House commitment. Shotwell: “We commit to take these efforts into orbit. We are currently designing orbital data centers powered by the nuclear reactor in the sky.” The nuclear reactor in the sky. The sun. Shotwell: “Launching supercomputers into space will mean even more energy on Earth, as all the power plants that we’re building now will be available to the communities instead of the data centres.” You cannot achieve infinite compute on a planet with finite surface energy. Space has no such constraint. The endgame of the AI arms race was never just about building the smartest model. It was about who could build the infrastructure to run it without limits. Shotwell: “I’m confident that we will win the race with AI with China and succeed in delivering inexpensive, abundant electricity for the American people.” Shotwell: “We are committed to deploying our AI technology to create a period of abundance where electricity becomes cheaper and people have access to the best goods and services humankind has ever seen.” Every tech race before this one was won in software. This one is being fought in gigawatts, megapacks, aquifers, and orbital infrastructure. The Earth has a ceiling. xAI just decided not to build under it.
