How to fix soccer:
1. The field is too big, shrink it.
2. Too many players on the field. Limit it to two.
3. Paint the field in a black-and-white grid.
4. The ball is replaced by pure positional advantage.
5. Pawns everywhere.

Rewatched some Star Trek tonight.
Still wild how a show about warp drives and weird nebulae ends up teaching the cleanest lessons about being human.
Every episode says the same thing in its own way:
‘Be curious. Be brave.
…Try not to fire phasers unless you really have to.”

“Shootings have effectively become their own memes, with their own viral tropes and signifiers.” @chaykak.bsky.social writes about Charlie Kirk’s assassination and “the self-perpetuating cycle of online radicalization.”
Charlie Kirk and Tyler Robinson Came from the Same Warped Online Worlds
The right-wing activist and his alleged assassin were both creatures of a digital ecosystem that rewards viral engagement at all costs.

The "reciprocal tariff" calculation ignores how global value chains work, penalizing countries that use more intermediate inputs from other countries in their exported products. #PIIECharts
