Chaco Canyon is one of the most important living cultural landscapes on the planet and we have long called for its permanent protection. It's not about the past–it’s about the generations to come. I’ll continue to fight for it because it is a place worth protecting.

As Ta-Nehisi Coates asked Ezra Klein about the Charlie Kirk piece, "Was silence not an option?”
Bluetorial-Jim Watson
I met Jim Watson a few times but did not know him well. However, I was greatly influenced by his book “The Double Helix”. He was a complicated human being with some very, very bad features, but some good contributions.
What follows is my personal perspective.

That finish by Saka was much more difficult and amazing than the freaking NBC commentators are letting on in their Sunderland worship. Go #Arsenal!

It's mystifying why #Arsenal have gotten so poor at open play. With the likes of Eze, Saka, Trossard, Rice and Zubimendi, they should be cutting through the staunchest defense. While I'm happy about set piece successes, I think critics do have a point about reaching a ceiling there & becoming dull.
