Serena Williams is back.
First, by teaming up with rising Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko for a straight-sets win over the No. 3 seeds in women’s doubles at the Queen’s grass-court tournament in London,
Williams sent a message to the tennis world that it may be in for an interesting summer.
Then she sent an even bigger message, by accepting a wild card into the singles at Wimbledon, which she has won seven times.
Williams’ comeback comes just under one year after she d…

It was a plan House G.O.P. leaders hoped would satisfy everyone in their party:
With a special budget bill, they would bypass Democratic opposition and provide tens of billions for the Iran war while imposing new election restrictions Trump has demanded.
Instead, a day after the leaders released the plan, which hews closely to a spending request the White House sent to Capitol Hill last month,
it became clear it is a product that no one really likes.
The measure, whic…

A House panel approved the measure. But Republicans are divided over its size, cost and policy provisions, and many are concerned about the timing before the midterm elections.

Looks like NESO are trying to prevent the kind of issue (high solar input causing overvoltage) that led to Spain's grid collapse. In Spain this was in the critical context of nuclear centrales being off-line.

Can AI narrow cybersecurity’s class divide?
AI is giving elite security orgs new ways to automate red teaming, detection engineering, and vulnerability discovery. But experts debate whether the technology will deepen cyber’s long-standing resource divide — or finally help close it.

Britain’s biggest community solar project has been forced to shut for the duration of its first summer by the government’s energy system operator to avoid overloading the local grid with renewable energy.
The north Devon solar farm was ordered to shut weeks before record high temperatures across Europe
led to power supply warnings, due to concerns that the large amount of rooftop solar in the area could destabilise the power grid by triggering a “thermal overload”.
