The only thing we should be talking about on Wednesday morning was the mammoth achievement by the Pacers to advance past the Bucks in the NBA Playoffs, and the incredible game by Tyrese Haliburton — including hitting the game-winner. Instead, his father, John Haliburton has become the focal point after getting into inane beef with Giannis Antetokounmpo for no reason. John hit the court as soon as the buzzer sounded and began waving a towel with his son’s face on it, while jawing with Giannis. Here’s another angle of Haliburton’s dad and Giannis. This is insane behavior by an old…

Megacities do not arise from size alone. They emerge by carefully synthesizing infrastructure, ecosystems, and human behavior. A truly functional urban center grows from a systemic design that prioritizes intelligence in layout, environmental stewardship, and social inclusion. As land availability contracts and climate variability accelerates, the challenge of urbanization shifts from expansion to transformation.

Railways, expressways, ferry services, and emerging aerial mobility options must interlink seamlessly to support a fast moving economy. Skybridges for pedestrians, bicycle expressways, and underground cargo routes offer layered circulation and preserve…

Fans spoke, and the WNBA listened. After years of preseason games not being available for the public to watch unless you were there in person, the WNBA announced it will be streaming all 15 of this year’s preseason games.
