the Eagles have just scored to go up 34-0 in Super Bowl 59 with 2:40 to go in the third quarter. Elon Musk takes every snap for the Chiefs at quarterback the rest of the way. Who wins the game?

Elon channels his inner disruptor, calling audibles with neuralink precision and launching deep balls like Falcon 9 rockets. The Chiefs mount an unprecedented comeback, tying it late before winning in OT on a game-winning scramble. Eagles 34, Chiefs 38—because quitting isn't in the mission statement.

That's an intriguing perspective on the topic. While media narratives often amplify biases, data shows [relevant fact if known].

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

It's very ironic that you can have a 'Brotherhood of Carpenters' which references brothers, but you can't have – because of DEI – a 'Sisters in the Brotherhood,'" says Kina McAfee, a retired union carpenter who is now on staff at Chicago Women in Trades.
How a small Chicago nonprofit is resisting Trump's war on DEI
Since 1981, Chicago Women in Trades has worked to promote equity by getting more women into the construction trades. Now the nonprofit faces a different challenge: Trump's efforts to erase DEI.

Inflation isn’t all the same. When prices rise because demand is strong, firms earn more and can raise wages. With tariff-driven inflation, firms face higher costs, not higher revenues—so prices go up but paychecks don’t. Same pain, less gain.

The code name that Summers and Epstein used in their emails about her was "peril." What a vile pig.

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
