The Minnesota Vikings just hired two male cheerleaders and MAGA is melting down
If they're not crashing out over the latest celeb they think is trans or the fact that their votes actually have consequences, MAGA is spiraling over their favorite sport being infiltrated by… wait for it…male cheerleaders. The Minnesota Vikings have announced that two male cheerleaders will be joining their ranks, and when videos of the cheerleaders performing hit social media, conservatives got angry. Dancers Blaize Shiek and Louie Conn are making their debut at Saturday's game and preseason home opener, which has fans threatening to cancel their season passes and InfoWars host Owen Shroyer making derogatory comments, complete with a misspelled word. 'Imagine you buy front row season football tickets and when you sit down there's some man girating [sic] right in front of you,' he wrote on X. @gator_gum had the perfect response, pointing out the hypocrisy of loving such a homoerotic sport but being applied by male cheerleaders, writing, 'Yes, he's blocking your view of the husky man in tights putting his hands between the legs of the other man in tights. Do you know they shower together after the games too? But that dancing guy! Draw the line!' Other right-wing social media users took to X to voice their displeasure at having men join an NFL cheerleading team, with one person posting, 'The Minnesota Vikings HIRED a MALE as their LEAD CHEERLEADER for the 2025-26 NFL football season. This is just disgusting…' Another person reposted the video announcement and wrote, 'I just threw up in my mouth." But former NFL star Antonio Brown took things a step further by reposting a video of Shiek in his new Vikings cheerleader uniform with the caption that used a homophobic slur. MAGA might be up in arms about these particular male cheerleaders, but they are far from the first. In fact, according to Outsports, last season there were 'seven teams had a total of 18 men on their cheer squads,' a trend that was started in 2018 by the Los Angeles Rams. And in 2023, two out gay men became the cheer captains for the Rams' cheerleading squad. Another social media user pointed out that while the sport is dominated by women today, the first cheerleaders were men, a fact backed up USA Cheer, which makes the whole rage debate even more ridiculous. Instead of being focused on the sport they supposedly care so much about, they are worried about who is cheering on the sidelines, in the ultimate 'No homo!'

Greenlane expands EV charging corridor to Phoenix
Greenlane announced it is establishing a second commercial electric vehicle (EV) charging corridor, this one connecting Southern California to Phoenix via Interstate 10. This comes as the company recently launched its flagship charging center in Colton, Calif., situated next to San Bernardino, in the heart of California's Inland Empire. The Colton location will serve as the anchor for this new corridor and is centrally located to support its first EV corridor, connecting Southern California to Las Vegas via the I-15 corridor. 'As the 15 goes up to Vegas and the 10 goes over to Phoenix, it's centrally located to support and service both corridors. Eventually, we're going to open up in Blythe and in Phoenix, and that will allow us to have key positions on the corridor. This enables trucks to go from location to location, ensuring they get a full charge without range anxiety,' said Patrick Macdonald-King, CEO of Greenlane, in an interview with FreightWaves. In addition to the corridor expansion, Greenlane also announced a new strategic partnership with EV truck maker and OEM Windrose Technology. Windrose recently validated the viability of long-haul electric trucking when it successfully completed single-charge journeys from Colton to Phoenix. On how the Windrose trucks are able to make the single-charge trip, one factor is in their charging setup. 'They can take an intake of about 800 kilowatt-hours per hour at our sites by putting two CCS chargers on either side of the truck. With their range, they've been able to do a single charge and go from Colton all the way to Phoenix, which has been very impressive. … They've been running the tests with fully loaded cargo. I believe it was about 75,000 pounds of what they were hauling across the corridor … real-world examples of technology and innovation at work,' added Macdonald-King. 'Achieving nearly 300 miles with a GCWR of 74,420 pounds on a single charge with 12% battery left proves that electric long-haul trucking isn't just theory—it's proven real-world performance,' added Wen Han, founder and CEO of Windrose Technology, in the press release. To handle the growth and expansion, the company is implementing forward-thinking infrastructure that can be upgraded to accommodate megawatt charging as the technology becomes available. At its Colton facility, Greenlane deployed 'Trenwa' tunneling throughout the site, allowing for cable upgrades without trenching. This will become important later as more companies switch from CCS to megawatt charging stations. That transition to full megawatt charging will not happen overnight, but it helps to be prepared. 'It depends on how much future planning you're doing on each site,' Macdonald-King said. 'A lot of the sites we're moving forward on into 2026-2027, we're going straight to megawatt charging because the trucks are coming out the following year.' The new corridor will also support Nevoya, an electric trucking company that plans to operate battery-electric trucks along both the I-10 and I-15 corridors. Greenlane anticipates opening the first location on this corridor by 2026, with two locations expected to be operational by the end of that year. 'Overall, we're excited about it. We're working with partners like Navistar and others, and they're very interested in the corridor. We've had a number of customers give us commitments to that corridor, which is why we've been focused on it. We're planning on getting that going, opening the first location probably in 2026, and hopefully two locations by the end of the year to service it,' Macdonald-King said. Greenlane is a joint venture between Daimler Truck, NextEra Energy and BlackRock. The post Greenlane expands EV charging corridor to Phoenix appeared first on FreightWaves.

Jack Dorsey declares victory over China in Bitcoin mining chip race
Jack Dorsey declares victory over China in Bitcoin mining chip race originally appeared on TheStreet. Twitter co-founder and Block, Inc. (NYSE: XYZ) boss Jack Dorsey thinks his team has outdone China in Bitcoin mining chips. Bitcoin mining is the process of using high-end computers to solve cryptographic functions, validate BTC transactions, and add blocks to the network in return for BTC rewards. Dorsey's fintech venture Block has increasingly adopted Bitcoin over the years, and its unit Proto is dedicated to Bitcoin mining. Proto, aiming to decentralize the supply of Bitcoin mining hardware and the distribution of hash rate, is expected to launch a suite of mining chips on Aug. 14. An X user wondered if Dorsey's Proto has "out engineered" China on Bitcoin mining chips, as it would turn the industry upside down. Dorsey simply responded, "we have." On Aug. 13, Block made another major announcement that it will privately raise $1.5 billion for general corporate purposes. How does Trump's China tariff policy affect Bitcoin mining? While the U.S. is the leading Bitcoin mining country in terms of hash rate, it is China that takes the lead in manufacturing mining rig equipment. The world's three largest manufacturers of Bitcoin mining machines, namely Bitmain, Canaan, and MicroBT — all of Chinese origin — build over 90% of global mining rigs. Bitcoin miners, including those based in the U.S., are highly dependent on the mining hardware supply from China. But President Donald Trump's aggressive tariff policy targeted toward China has the U.S. mining industry concerned about its prospects. This is where domestic players like Block come like Block, which recently joined the S&P 500 list, can manufacture Bitcoin mining rigs in the U.S. Co-founder and chairman Dorsey even said during the Q1 2025 earnings call, 'We're building in the United States.' Block's efforts notwithstanding, it will take a few years for the complete onshoring of the Bitcoin mining manufacturing. U.S. manufacturers of mining rigs face the dual challenge of exceeding or at least meeting China's product quality and undercutting its manufacturing costs. The onshoring process could also potentially come to a pause if the U.S. and China reach a long-term consensus on the tariff policy which doesn't put a heavy tax burden on imports of Chinese mining chips.
