  2. TechSpot: AI data centers are delaying Texas housing projects by hiring away electricians. “The AI data center gold rush is now colliding with one of Texas’ other major problems: a shortage of homes. Builders say projects are taking up to two months longer to complete because data center operators are hiring away the electricians needed to wire new houses, duplexes, and apartments.”

  5. FRANCE 24's Solange Mougin takes a look at France's "chicken wars", or the fast-food fight over a roasted chicken chain that's become highly political. We also dive into the nation's love of fast food, and in particular chicken. Finally, we discuss some of the many expressions in French that pay tribute to the most Gaulois of birds: the Gallus gallus, or "le poulet".

  6. Resistance, Remembrance, and Comunidad: Cinco de Mayo, Mount Pleasant, and the Rebuilding That Erases

    Cinco de Mayo is often misunderstood in the United States. It is reduced to a marketing holiday, a day of beer specials, paper flags, mariachi clichés, and the shallow consumption of Mexican culture without the burden of remembering Mexican history. But the heart of Cinco de Mayo is not consumption. It is resistance.

    The day remembers the Battle of Puebla, May 5, 1862, when Mexican forces defeated the French army, then one of the most powerful military forces in the world. It was not Mexican Independence Day. It was not the founding of Mexico. It was a day when a people under pressure from empire stood their ground. It was a day when the powerful were resisted by those who were supposed to lose. It was, at its deepest level, a day about memory, dignity, land, sovereignty, and the refusal to be swallowed by imperial appetite. (MySA)

    That is why, for me, Cinco de Mayo cannot be separated from another May 5: May 5, 1991, in Washington, D.C.

    I was there.

  22. Celtic Tiger Cranes and the Elysian Rising

    Cork City during the height of the Celtic Tiger era, captured in 2007 when Ireland’s construction boom was at its peak and the city skyline was dominated by cranes building new office blocks and apartments, including the Elysian Tower.

    It would all come crashing down financially within a year. Some apartments in the Elysian were vacant for years.
