Space-Based AI Infrastructure: Google is reportedly in talks with SpaceX to launch orbital data centers for Project Suncatcher, underscoring how AI’s power and cooling demands are pushing tech infrastructure into new territory. Education Watch: A new national analysis finds a “reading recession,” with students still about half a grade behind pre-pandemic reading levels; only a handful of states showed meaningful reading gains since 2022. Workforce & Business: Starbucks is cutting 61 tech jobs in Seattle as it reorganizes and shifts some tech teams to a Nashville regional office. Public Safety Funding: Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee vetoed a bill that would have raised the 911 surcharge by 36 cents, leaving emergency communications districts short on planned upgrades. Local Environment: A sewage leak in Farragut wiped out aquatic life across a 1.5-mile stretch of Turkey Creek, with wildlife officials working to estimate impacts. Justice & Accountability: Austin will pay $35 million to men wrongly accused in the 1991 yogurt shop murders, a case that ended in exonerations after a different suspect was identified.
