The Senate on Monday advanced bipartisan legislation aimed at speeding up permitting reviews to power data centers and other infrastructure projects, in the first major action since last week’s election that soundly repudiated President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans. The Senate voted 73-25 to formally take up the bill, which senators and the president have pushed as a way to meet growing demand for electricity and other forms of energy that now face yearslong delays in getting to the grid. The legislation’s sweeping changes would shorten the timeline to get big energy projects started — both for clean energy and fossil fuel projects — and make sure data centers pay for the energy they use. Anger over artificial intelligence data centers and rising electricity prices helped usher in a wave of Democrats pledging to clamp down on the massive, energy-hungry structures. Trump urged senators to vote for it, calling it a “BIG WIN for U.S. ENERGY INDEPENDENCE and DOMINANCE.” in a social media post on Sunday. The bill will “ensure that we can build Pipelines, Mines, and Power Plants faster than ever before, lowering Energy Costs for American Families,” Trump wrote. Major industry groups representing developers in clean energy and in the oil and gas sector also support the bill. However, many environmental organizations have panned the deal because they say it would lock in fossil fuel development, weaken environmental safeguards and make it harder for communities to challenge energy project approvals.

The New York Times Company is in talks”exclusive negotations” to acquire Letterboxd, the social network for film lovers, for around $330 million, The New York Times reports.

Rocky IV sees an older, much wealthier Rocky Balboa squaring off against the made-in-a-lab Soviet superman Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), in a high-stakes bout that climaxes in our slurring, punch-drunk Philadelphian hero effectively ending the Cold War. It has a James Brown musical number, and a training montage that sees Stallone chopping wood, lifting big fat bags of rocks, and trudging through heavy Soviet snow drifts, set to a rousing original musical number called “Hearts on Fire.” It also features, quite memorably, Paulie’s robot. Early in the film, the Balboa family celebrates the birthday of Rocky’s surly, alcoholic brother-in-law, Paulie (Burt Young). Rocky gifts him a full-scale, bug-headed automaton that ferries him a birthday cake, while chirping “Happy Birthday Paulie.” Later in the film, Paulie apparently reprograms the robot to serve him beer, and changes its voice to sound like a sexy lady. Paulie’s Robot signals a drastic shift in both the Rocky character, and franchise. Gone is the humble, aw-shucks underdog, boxing slabs of meat in an industrial cooler. By Rocky IV, our guy is now making enough dough to buy his friend a novelty robot that serves cake and pours beer. The robot’s presence in the movie may be perplexing—Stallone would later have all of its scenes removed from a 2021 director’s cut—but not without explanation. The robot actually had its own ties to the City of Brotherly Love. Those who spent parts of the ‘80s and ‘90s in an infamous Delaware County nightclub know that this clanker was much more than a guest star in a few throwaway movie scenes. It was a nightlife attraction, a sexual prop, and perhaps even a spiritual icon.
