Egan Bernal said he sad a ‘95% chance’ of either becoming paralysed or dying after his horror training ride crash in 2022.
Now he's not only back cycling, but has won a stage at the Vuelta a España.
This is phenomenal. Congratulations, Bernal.

Incredible parallels in this Berinsky &

With Trump set to use crime as a fake justification to threaten DC today, media coverage should make one thing clear: At this point his pattern of manufacturing pretexts for militarizing domestic law enforcement has become undeniable. Some thoughts on that here:
