And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

February 4, 1996: Anfernee Hardaway with the rebound and no-look, over-the-shoulder assist to Horace Grant.

Hardaway finished with 16 PTS/12 AST/6 REB/5 STL and Grant had 21 PTS/15 REB/5 AST for the Magic in a 122-109 overtime win over the San Antonio Spurs.

The reason Silicon Valley is so powerful and annoying is because Oakland lost their sports teams. Without raider fans acting as an apex predator the nerds became too abundant

Ignore the pearl-clutchers, it is totally fine for Aston Villa fans to boo Jack Grealish. It is all a pantomime and rattling the opposition is what home crowds are meant to do: www.thetimes.com/sport/footba...

We attach a myth of invincibility to a few people each generation, to imbue us with some false hope that death isn’t quite as inevitable as we’ve been told.

When they pass, it lands a bit heavier. The myth is unveiled, the handshake agreement is broken, and we are all forced to see with clear eyes

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Americans have a weird cognitive bias.

People make incorrect estimates about the population. Crazy incorrect. For instance, they think 21% of the country is trans, 40% is black, and 30% lives in NYC. . . . 1/7

There's something I need people to understand.

The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad.

The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.
