Yes, yes it is. I would go as far to say that it is even advisable
Experts warn running becomes counterproductive when 'the pursuit of distance or personal bests starts to erode mood, relationships or recovery'.

Christ, this is properly crazy. A 16 year-old running 3:48 in the mile? Probably the best sporting performance of the year so far
The world is on notice 👀
After 16-year-old Sam Ruthe flew 17 hours from New Zealand to Boston to set a new U18 world record of 3:48.88 in the mile, he didn’t even think it was his best effort. How fast can he go?!

If this was athletics, he'd be suspended for 2+ years rather than a couple of months. The big sports really don't take drug use seriously
BREAKING: The NBA has suspended Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George for 25 games “for violating the terms of the NBA/NBPA Anti-Drug Program,” the league announced.

Definitely worth reading. It makes the case for AI as a tool to complete complicated, routine tasks. This is exactly how we should be thinking of AI. Once organisations make that shift, rather than looking for ways in which it will replace humans, then we'll get closer to realising it's potential

I’ve been exploring AI tools of various forms for more than a year now, mostly from a critical perspective of identifying things that they cannot do (such as draw maps), but also so that I can unde…

Putin has spent 25 years looting the Russian state but he at least tried to hide it. This isn't just corruption, it's aimed at humiliating lawmakers, public officials, and ultimately, American voters

So he's been cosplaying as working class as well? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised
Matt Goodwin makes a living out of railing against university educated elites & his whole schtick is "he was the first person in his family to go to university", which is a bit weird given that his Dad, now being heavily invoked for his Manchester connection, appears to have a string of degrees.

I've never seen a more obvious fall guy than this fella. At some point, he's going to be hung out to dry by Trump, Vance, Noem, etc
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

I think if you've been wrong about something for a while and have now shifted your opinion, you have to expect to be dunked on a bit. You take the hit and move on
Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

Looks like they've finished mining the bad things from Lord of the Rings to name things after and decided to move on to the sci-fi genre

Fatalism is what they want. It disempowers people. Russia in 2000 had weak institutions, no democratic norms, and a populace already defeated by a poorly managed transition to democracy and the market. I'm more hopeful for the US
No. They are not planning to ever relinquish power.
It's the Putinisation of America.

Anyone speaking out is a good thing. Anyone with a platform speaking out is even better. I don't know if it will help, but it does mean that more people hear about it and can't pretend it isn't happening
It's easy to dismiss musicians and sportspeople condemning what is going on in Minneapolis and other American cities, but culture and entertainment are crucial channels by which anti-ICE and anti-Trump messages reach the 'average' voter who is not paying a lot of attention.

At least this traitor is easy to identify
In case you missed it: My suggestion that Farage was whispering to Trump behind the scenes while Trump was going after Greenland has been essentially confirmed.

Darkly funny how the Brexit lads talked vociferously about Britain restoring its status on the global stage and now they just want the UK to be Donald Trump's shit shoveller
This is what worries me most at home. The instincts and views of any Reform-Tory govt are so totally at odds with the public, so outlandish to the median voter, as to make government and even the very ability to govern impossible. (1/2)
