Guess how much Adidas's new marathon record-smashing sneakers cost (and then double your guess); meanwhile the tennis tournament was decimated

Worth noting that four of the top five in today's London Marathon -- including the first two men in history under two hours -- were wearing adidas' new Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3.

It weighs under 100g -- about 30% lighter than adidas' previous supershoe.https://t.co/eLvoAyobAh pic.twitter.com/Uzn6hsXny5

TWO men broke the 2-hour barrier for the marathon today in London.

Both were wearing a super-light, 3.4-ounce shoe that has yet to be released. Adidas' head of running told me how they made it:https://t.co/yB2jGnHTGE

Some surreal and stylish imagery from the cartoon "Judo Boy" (Kurenai Sanshiro)

Kurenai Sanshiro #10 Sanshiro braves the illusory castle of Sandoria, where he faces various traps set by an ancient king. Directed by Hiroshi Sasagawa, it's one of the most surreal & delightfully eerie eps in the series, making fantastic use of silhouettes and limited lighting.

Kurenai Sanshiro is a constantly experimental, visually ambitious show, and this episode is no exception. One of the most notable parts is the scene where Sanshiro walks through a dark corridor, his silhouette being the only window offering us a glimpse of what's inside the tomb.

I also applaud how surreal visuals don't detract from telling a story about a martial artist honing his skills. As Sanshiro sits in complete darkness, trying to catch silently falling waterdrops, our field of view is also limited to further showcase how focused he is on the task.

A "data center project in Utah expected to generate and consume more power than entire state nears final approval" (AI roundup)

Backers of the massive data center campus say at full buildout it will consume 9GW of electricity, more than double the entire state of Utah’s current energy use. They say they intend to burn fossil fuels on site to make all that electricity. Box Elder County will vote on the proposal Monday.

("We’ve announced that we need every incentive we can get out of that state because we have to raise billions to build this power")

Getting the jokes out of the way

Kind of a perfect metaphor for the media and the role they've played over the last ten years
