A really important and excellent win for Palace. Not the best performance but dug in well and found a goal when they needed it.

“During the last election in 2021, only 30 percent of registered voters cast a ballot. That was the lowest rate in decades and nearly half the record-high turnout in 2016, long before a national security law imposed in 2020 effectively wiped out the pro-democracy opposition.”

Today: 31%

Indeed. The reasons why football and hockey (ice, then field) are the greatest sports is also why they are the silliest: that they are the only games where you can be properly robbed.
football is a very silly sport

this guy is amazing today
West Ham are on course to move out of the relegation zone after Jarrod Bowen broke the deadlock against Brighton.

Less than a minute after coming on, Callum Wilson plays the ball forward for Bowen, who shows great desire to latch onto the ball and convert from a tight angle.

I am watching the match back and this situation was a warning sign on Eze not tracking Cash well before he scored. He starts as the furthest Arsenal player forward here but when the ball is lost he is jogging back while Cash is sprinting. It takes a heroic block from Rice to help stop this one.

Great flight. Highly recommended if you have a chance on a clear day.

I had window seat south side, so pretty boring US Gulf islands instead of mountains and our gulf islands.

But the approach to Vancouver had me on the city side. See circled Iona Building!

this one about the CDS market for AI tech debts is really good
Until recently, the idea of Meta going bust seemed so fanciful that no CDS market really existed

But not any more, with banks now offering protection against Meta — and several other AI companies once considered bulletproof

Is this the new Big Short?

"Patriots only" poll: As of 9.30am, we're seeing a 4.18% turnout. In 2021, it was 3.18% by now. Given the incentives to vote, the months of huge promotions, requests that civil servants vote, and subsidies for elderly homes, turnout will likely beat 2021, but will be lower than before revamp.
