Gladwell continues to fail to do anything other than pile evidence on my take that he's an intellectually and ethically flaccid grifter.

“In recent years, many Americans have decided that their country’s problem was that it had too many police officers, when in fact its problem was that it had too few,” Malcolm Gladwell writes:

I'm pretty sure if there's one thing that could shift a decent amount of that trillion dollars it'd be insuring the looping track.

Got curious about Haaland's ability to stay onside so I took @futi.live data, built an xOffside model, figured out which pass types and phases of play matter, ranked the best offside traps and onside attackers in the PL, translated it to goals and dollars and wrote it up in ESPN No you need a hobby

espn.comWhy does Haaland score so many goals? Because he's elite at staying onsideWe know what a dominant scorer Erling Haaland is, but it often goes unnoticed how good he is at avoiding a striker's worst enemy: the offside trap.

Would love to see someone try to put an expected goal value on Haaland's supernatural ability to stay onside

Q: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides said they have not agreed to that TRUMP: Well they agreed, you know why? Because I said 'you agree.' That's why.

Who went through all the major platforms where the Pentagon might stream their barbaric firing squad "livestream" execution to see if it violated their policies? Me. I did it.

Denver’s mayor says tonight that the federal government is suing the city over its policy that no law enforcement here can be masked. “We will fight to the very end on this battle,” says Mike Johnston.

“She asked the powers at NASA to let her add a safeguard to prevent that error in a real flight, and they laughed it off as too unlikely… When an astronaut did make that blooper during the Apollo 8 mission, it caused necessary navigational data to vanish, and they called Hamilton in to get it back.”

i was fortunate enough to profile Margaret Hamilton in 2019. A really kind and curious person. This was my favorite story she told me:

I spent a year watching school administrators do their jobs—and interviewing the students most impacted. I spoke to @thecut.com in a long-form Q&A about what I saw. Mainly, a system designed to protect perpetrators and punish victims in each and every case.

This November, Colorado voters will decide on anti-trans ballot measures. Now, Colorado's leading medical societies have formally condemned the surgery ban for transgender youth and announced their position against them. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Okay, horse people! Our elementalist, having escaped the burning building, is now pursued on horseback. How deep an unexpected mud puddle around one set of hooves will temporarily trap or at least freak out a horse? Horse is reasonably well trained but is somewhat stressed because magical fog.

She suffers. Because she hurt herself. 🤷🏿‍♂️ She spent years misleading other women into nonsense beliefs about what traditional means. She lived in a fantasy cartoon of fashy subservience. She's a slow learner. Now she's figuring out what millions of other women that she fought against, already knew.

Given the strong starts by Summit and Rapids in their games maybe this is a good start for the Broncos?
