We should probably be placing incarcerated people in prisons closest to their homes.

Why?

Assigning individuals to prisons closer to their home reduces recidivism.

Really?

Yep. Being placed close to one's home increases social contacts that appear to reduce reoffending.

This was interesting. Martinelli applauds Noni for making the run and creating the space for the pass to Ben. A practiced move I assume.

The comments are mad at him for not taking the shot or passing to Noni

So, being a holocaust denier doesn’t make you anti-Jewish if you support Israel?
Like, I know where this has been coming from, but surely when they say it out loud they realise how batshit it sounds?

there is an explanation in the write up

I see what you did there Manhattan Institute
The survey’s first major finding is that the overwhelming majority of the Current GOP reject racism, antisemitism, and conspiratorial thinking in politics. But a meaningful minority—17%—meets our definition of Anti-Jewish Republicans. A respondent falls into this category if they (1) self-identify as both racist and antisemitic and express Holocaust denial or describe Israel as a colonial state, or (2) do not self-identify that way but nevertheless hold both of those extreme positions.

*whispers* he isn't wrong.

How are universities paying coaches $10m+ when they can set up an analytics departments and have graduate students run the teams?

Whenever you're annoyed with Bluesky, click over to LinkedIn remember things can be much, much dumber.
Keith Richman, an Entrepreneur, posts this on LinkedIn: The only bubble bigger than AI? College football coach salaries. Schools are throwing $10M+ at coaches like they're the only people who can read a playbook. Meanwhile, AI can now watch every snap your opponent has ever run and tell you not just what play they're calling, but why they're calling it. Schools are better off investing their money in AI research that won’t leave them two weeks before the College Football Playoffs. Feed 5 seasons of game film to a model 5 seasons and it'll map out tendencies, predict adjustments, and identify weaknesses. We're heading toward the ultimate Moneyball scenario. Except instead of finding undervalued baseball players, we're about to see a school with a $500K coach and a great AI system upset a program paying $12M for "elite leadership." The real question: How long until we see a "Sideline AI Coach" position? Someone with a headset, laptop, and direct line to the AI model telling them "they're running play-action here, I'm 87% confident." Sure, coaching is still about motivation, culture, and recruiting. But in the future, what will the ROI be of paying someone eight figures primarily for Xs and Os?

Holy shit.

Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa.

www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
The cable, sent to all U.S. missions on December 2, orders U.S. consular officers to review resumes or LinkedIn profiles of H-1B applicants - and family members who would be traveling with them - to see if they have worked in areas that include activities such as misinformation, disinformation, content moderation, fact-checking, compliance and online safety, among others.

Arsenal have 0 goals and just 1.2 xG from set plays out of 9 goals and 6.82 xG total from the last 4 Premier League matches.

Is Arsenal becoming too reliant on open play?

If Arsenal concede fewer than three goals against Chelsea, they will equal the record of 107 straight games in all competitions without conceding three goals in a match set by an English club (Man Utd October 2016 to August 2018).

SUSAN RODRIGUEZ Susan Courtwright Rodriguez, nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, is a longtime conservative lawyer whose career reflects deep partisan ties, loyalty to corporate interests, and a record of rulings that hurt workers, employees, and consumers and puts profits over people. She held multiple roles in the George W. Bush administration, including as a political appointee for the then-newly formed Department of Homeland Security, as well as with the White House counsel’s office. After a second stint at the DHS, Rodriguez spent 12 years at McGuireWoods, where she co-led the Financial Institutions Industry Team and defended banks, payday lenders, and fintech companies against lawsuits and government investigations. She now serves as a magistrate judge for the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina. CORPORATE DEFENSE & FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS At McGuire Woods, Rodriguez devoted her practice to defending large financial institutions and high-cost lenders. She co-authored industry-facing publications framing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s regulatory oversight as part of a “name-and-shame playbook,” and dismissed CFPB efforts to hold corporations accountable for consumer abuses. She defended Sprint against allegations brought by CFPB and the Federal Communications Commission related to unauthorized third-party charges and represented banks accused of violating anti–money laundering laws (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau v. Sprint Corp.). In one case, Rodriguez defended Truist Bank against claims brought by a whistleblower executive who alleged the bank failed to report suspicious wire transfers and allowed accounts linked to criminal activity to remain open (Denise WHITING, Plaintiff, v. TRUIST BANK f/k/a Branch Banking and Trust Company, Defendant). Rather than addressing systemic fraud, the bank allegedly retaliated against the executive, demoting and ultimately firing her. Rodr… Rodriguez’s leadership role on the board of Mira Via underscores her alignment with organizations that oppose reproductive rights. Mira Via explicitly affirms life “from the moment of conception,” situating Rodriguez firmly within the anti- abortion movement. Her long membership in the Federalist Society and Republican National Lawyers Association further underscores her alignment with conservative legal networks committed to rolling back reproductive freedom, LGBTQ+ rights, and other substantive constitutional protections. STAUNCH CONSERVATIVE ADVOCACY Since joining the bench, Rodriguez has issued rulings that repeatedly favor corporations, law enforcement, and institutions over individuals seeking relief. In Rodriguez v. Wipro Ltd., she ruled against a whistleblower who raised concerns about corporate conflicts of interest and later suffered retaliation that exacerbated serious health conditions, dismissing the case for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. In Puranda v. City of Charlotte, she dismissed a civil rights case brought by an 18-year-old subjected to an aggressive traffic stop, where officers allegedly drew weapons, forcibly removed him from his car, and detained him without cause. In Robey v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education, she rejected claims brought by parents whose child had repeatedly disclosed self-harm to a school counselor who failed to notify them, ultimately leading to a hospitalization. In each of these cases, Rodriguez prioritized institutional protection over the workers, children, and their families who simply wanted justice when they were hurt.
