Okay but she posted on Reddit after the broadcast that she realized partway through Double Jeopardy that this was her only way to win, and started deliberately picking clues/buzzing in to maximize the odds that they would be tied going into Final. Absolute galaxy brain.

There’s a moment on tomorrow’s No Offseason that is going to sound so silly after today’s shooting exhibition. My sincerest apologies to Olivia.
If you told me 2 years ago that Olivia Miles would hit 10 three pointers in a game I would have laughed in your face. Her shooting development is genuinely out of this world

US military aid to Ukraine was the single most effective military spending we’ve had since aiding the Mujahideen against the Soviets in Afghanistan. We reduced Russia’s military by like half for circa five percent of the annual Pentagon budget. That’s a goddamn bargain.

And Trump has spoiled it.
Quite the chart

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

We need a “how they did it” interview with the lead cameraman and planners behind this halftime show ASAP. That was one of the most impressive logistical accomplishments I’ve ever seen

OK but the most important thing is that we raised more than $145,000 for student journalism on Duke and Carolina’s campuses. Everyone is a winner when we support these kids in their editorial independence.
