Spring training for Major League Baseball is underway in the U.S. and there’s a new addition making the game a bit more interesting this year: robot umpires.
A U.S. federal judge blocked executive ordersthat sought to end government support for programs that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, so for now, the administration cannot terminate or change those contracts.

Canada is officially set to build the largest solar farm in North America
Medicine Hat, Alberta has more days of sunlight than any other city in Canada, making it the prime candidate for North America’s future largest urban solar park.
Once fully built out, the Saamis project would not only be able to meet the peak load demand for both industrial and commercial buildings in the city — it could also supply demand for its 65,000 residents.
Poetically, the 325-megawatt project will be situated on an old industrial site in “Gas City” — as Medicine Hat, Alberta is known due to the area’s extensive fossil gas reserves.
Even better: The project will be built on a 1,600-acre plot of land that had been contaminated by a solid waste byproduct of nitrogen production, so the land had very “limited development potential” — now, instead of sitting there useless, it will help bring clean energy to the community (which has environmental and health benefits of its own).

Despite recent tragic, high-profile disasters, air traffic accidents have been declining globally
Between the collision of an airplane and helicopter in Washington, D.C. and an airplane overturning at a Toronto airport, recent high-profile tragedies involving aircraft have led to a decline in consumer confidence in flying.
However, a recent analysis of both U.S. and worldwide data found that there’s been a downward trend in air accidents over the past two decades.
In the U.S., there’s been a decline in air accidents from 2005 to 2024, despite the overall number of flights significantly increasing. In January 2025, there were 52 accidents, lower than 58 in January 2024, and 70 in January 2023.
