Everyone involved in the publication and promotion of this book should be embarrassed. It's not a "harsh truth" that COVID mitigation was a mistake, it's ghoulish and false.

T'was the Night Before Christmas Eve
When all thru the house of dreams
Not a creature was stirring, nor barking, nor purring
Though the kettle did whistle and scream
The presents were all wrapped neath the crappy fake pine
In case old St Nicholas was a no show this time RS

Hey, it's my print debut for National Geographic! This fall, I got to accompany folks from the Fort Worth Zoo on an incredible adorable mission: releasing tiny Texas horned lizards to new lives in the Hill Country.

Is the grumpy-faced Texas horned lizard adorable enough to survive?
As habitat loss and invasive predators decimate the Texas horned lizard population, researchers are banking on statewide fervor to bring them back.

I haven’t been this excited for a bubble to burst since I was a toddler.
MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.
MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing
There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

Did you know that the movie SHE RIDES SHOTGUN was based on a novel called SHE RIDES SHOTGUN and you can read that novel whether you liked the movie or not. Personally, I liked the movie - but I loved the novel. It's full of those good words and phrases and punctuationalism that good writers do

Here's Frank Capra checking out the artificial snow on the set of It's A Wonderful Life. Things don't always show up the same way on screen that they do in real life. As usual, I'm completely convinced when I watch this!

People who think evil, corrupt, and incompetent don’t go together have it backwards.
Instead of looking to Hollywood to explain real world evil, look to Hannah Arendt. Uncorrupt people of integrity won’t do evil. And evil leaders work to elevate incompetents because that helps ensure their loyalty.

"It is logically impossible to simultaneously be evil, corrupt, and incompetent" is an absolutely amazing take to have in the year of 2025

I'm sure that the guy who's in line to be the next commissioner won't notice who votes against his uncle's company getting the contract.
MLB's tech regulation plans give itself full control over who can do business with baseball.
And I learned an AI scouting firm — founded by the uncle of an exec in Rob Manfred’s inner circle — may win a bid.
Team sources and antitrust experts told me it creates a conflict of interest.

MLB Teams Fear League Will Pick Winners and Losers in Tech
The league is taking control of the choosing of tech partners, rather than leaving it up to teams; one firm under consideration was founded by a top MLB exec’s uncle.

Re this 2-post thread: No journalists, including those at 60 Minutes, are obliged to include non-responsive quotes in pieces. Was the question to the White House "What should 60 Minutes cover?" If not, you do not have to grant them free airtime in a story in the name of "balance" or anything else.
As "60 Minutes" finalized its "Inside CECOT" report last Thursday, CBS sent the White House a request for comment. A WH spokesperson responded within a few hours. The quote was not included in the "60" report – so, judge for yourself whether it should have been included or not >>>

It would be cool if I could check a box score in a (non-gambling) sports app without scrolling past betting info first.
There's no real social benefit to commercial gambling and there's a massive difference between the sudden heavy investment in casinos across NYC and your weekly poker game with a 20 dollar buy in.
I am not a moral absolutist about gambling. I’ve been to Vegas and Atlantic City and several casinos in Connecticut and Maryland, and I used to play pick up poker with buddies in college. But the degree to which our society has expanded it in recent decades strikes me as a sickness, a rot.
