MLS notes 91% of footprint (including playoffs) remains the same. Early season up against football rather than late-season and playoffs, which moves to more desirable spring.
Mid-July start gives few more weeks of summer play vs. mid-Aug start in Europe.

MLS owners vote to flip schedule to European calendar, change format starting in 2027
MLS will soon align with leagues that play from the fall to the spring after a transformational decision made by its owners

ok @maxread.info knows I’m a fan but any accounting of stomp clap that doesn’t include early whoa-oh hardcore eg the Misfits is missing a limb. That yell-the-chorus punk (whose legacy is people who think all choruses are for yelling) is a vital part of this

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses. Real buttons are sooooooo back baby!
