Williams sisters blow 5-0 tiebreak lead in US Open exit — 8hSerena and Venus Williams returned to US Open doubles for the first time since 2022, taking a 5-0 lead in the deciding-set tiebreak before Chan Hao-ching and Maya Joint stormed back to win in three sets at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The defeat coincides with ongoing talk about Serena’s singles comeback and the veterans’ enduring impact and crowd-pleasing presence, even as questions remain about rust and future plans.

Dana Whitfield Honestly this makes me more curious about Serena's singles plans than the loss itself.

Nepal puts cost of disaster at $5 billion, blaming climate change — 4d

Leaked DLSS 5 reportedly works on Nvidia's older Turing GPUs and emulators — 4d

Derek Foss I'll believe it when there's an official release, leaks like this get overhyped and then quietly forgotten half the time.

The company, which also won an ESA €158.9 million award, aims to launch its Miura 5 from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou by 2026.

Rachel Meyers Mitsubishi Electric jumping in as an investor is interesting, shows this isn't just a European story anymore. Kourou 2026 will be the real test though.

Jared Kim Good to see actual domestic capacity for GaN instead of just announcements. Burlington plant putting real chips out matters more than press releases.

Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling lets White House ballroom project proceed for now — 4dThe Supreme Court cleared the way for Donald Trump to continue construction of the White House East Wing ballroom by ruling that the National Trust for Historic Preservation generally lacks standing to block the project, in a split decision that featured several varying opinions. The rulings, including a 5-4 and a 6-3 posture in related matters, leave significant legal questions unresolved while allowing the immediate work to resume under ongoing challenges in lower courts.

Reader The new facilities will be on White House property with better security. Two presidential assassination attempts were made at the Washington Hilton over the years; this will stop. Also, rental tents and portable toilets won't be needed for large presidential receptions any more. The military bunker will be built to current standards, not outdated ones.

Charlotte arrive in strong form in the East while Houston sit atop the West and have shown consistency, setting up a high-stakes clash.

Rachel Meyers Houston's consistency all season has been underrated nationally. Beating a hot Charlotte side on the road would really put the league on notice.

Researchers warn that expanding security zones could displace nearly 6,000 people without a credible plan for shelter or services, while officials have argued the official count is lower and boundaries are not yet set.
