Has gambling become so integrated into sports that there's no turning back? The money is just too tantalizing for every sports related business. I fear that sports will be ruined forever because of this

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Send everyone involved in these strikes to the Hague
Breaking News: The Trump administration has decided to repatriate two survivors of a deadly U.S. strike this week on suspected drug runners in the Caribbean Sea rather than prosecute them or hold them in military detention, people with knowledge of the matter said on Saturday.
U.S. to Repatriate Survivors of Its Strike on Suspected Drug Vessel
The U.S. military rescued the two men in the Caribbean Sea after Special Operations forces fired on a semi-submersible that was assessed to be smuggling drugs.

The number of children injured or killed by cars while walking or riding a bike has fallen steadily since the 1970s, but CDC researcher note that this decline is not because streets are safer, but because fewer kids are out and about in the first place.
Kids need freedom. Dangerous roads make it hard to grant it.
Bigger cars, distracted drivers and worried parents mean fewer kids are roaming freely.

A generation of researchers will vanish, as intended, due to the US Administration’s illegal politicized attacks on our universities. Our national capacity for innovation and competitiveness, hobbled.
The psych job market may not be dead... but it is gravely injured 😬 So far it's looking like the Trump administration's attacks on higher ed/research are going to have more than 2x the impact on the job market as the covid-19 pandemic. #psychjobs #neurojobs #academicjobs

A teenage 4channer was beat up by two 15 year olds in DC, which was spotted and quickly stopped by nearby police. He told his friends, the richest man in the world and the Vice President of the United States, that he was pummeled by a dozen adult Romanians. A week later, Trump federalized DC police.

Cars create the illusion that we all operate alone. The world zips by while we sit in solitude. We don’t pass other people—we pass other cars. The car dehumanizes our neighbors and friends. The incentive to speed doubled by mechanical ease, anything that slows us down causes rage.
Not to mention, sprawl creates fascists. Who’s more likely to be aggrieved and vengeful? The guy who walks to the store and has a drink at the bar and chats with people, or the guy who sits in traffic all day and views other people as obstacles in his way?
One thing I've not seen mentioned in redistricting discourse is the fact that California has built so little housing over the last two decades, we're on track to lose ~ 4 seats in the house anyway.
People really don't appreciate how deeply NIMBYs have fucked the United States.

if the holy father of the roman catholic church, by canon of the faith a man with a direct line of communication to the creator of the universe, can admit he is an out-and-out fan of the chicago white sox and not the cubs, it is beyond the pale for a politician to do the "i like em both" schtick
