Man, I hear you. I'll watch because I have to, but I slip them when I can. The one consolation is that Turki is proving so bad at this that I wonder how long he'll last.

What fracking is doing to the Earthโ€”and to our bodies Beneath layers of ancient rock, a high-pressure process is reshaping the modern energy landscape. As fracking expands across the globe, so does the growing debate around its impact.

SEHN's @ssteingraber1.bsky.social spoke to @kieranmulvaney.bsky.social about our work detailing the risks and harms of #fracking. โ€œThis is a public health crisis.โ€

Remembering dreams of a green peace - Land and Climate Review The Bering Strait region has always been a hotbed of geopolitical tension - but its future is now more uncertain than ever, says Kieran Mulvaney.

My early pick is Bud by UD. I think and have long thought he's a generational talent, and Canelo is very much on the downslope.

(BTW, thanks for making me think about Bert doing his thing for this fight.)

Prichard Colon, Gerald McClellan, and boxing's duty of care There are, for those who choose to look for them, a number of examples of boxing looking out for its own in times of need, yet still one wonders if the sport should do more, writes Kieran Mulvaney

Honored and happy to have won Best Column in this year's writing awards from the Boxing Writers' Association of America. This a piece that is very important to me, and I'm proud of it.
