Why do so many websites split the login form into two pages? Is there some security reason I'm missing or what? It's so annoying with a password manager because you have to click twice and can't just fill out the username and password instantly. Drives me nuts.

Fed's Powell says inflation overshoot caused by Trump tariffs

I would simply not watch Michigan football anymore. To paraphrase a statement made about Richard Dreyfuss, life is too short to root for a team run by Brian Kelly.
What if Brian Kelly coached at Michigan

Good sign for this site that the timeline is quietly filling up with seemingly incomprehensible posts that actually track fine if you’re aware of The Michigan Situation

Fed’s Powell: “There is no risk free path for policy as we navigate this tension between our employment and inflation goals. A reasonable base case is that the effects of tariffs on inflation will be relatively short lived.”

Kind of disappointed Michigan isn't going to hit 100 tonight, not gonna lie. It's 83-49 with about 3 minutes left.
