It feels appropriate that the best reporting from The Atlantic and The New York Times has been by seasoned war reporters who understand the stakes and, by extension, the need to protect sources or sensitive information.

From weeks 11-18, Sam Darnold had a QBR of 8.2 under pressure--27th league-wide.

Last night, he threw all 3 TDs under pressure. Talk about conquering your demons.

Something that caught my eye--the Seahawks used trips at the lowest rate in the NFL this year (per NGS data). Yesterday, they used it at a rate that would've ranked in the top ten.

Great adjustment by Kubiak vs LA's zone coverage.

This was from a Kentucky middle school basketball game on the 23rd where a scuffle breaks out between the parents.

The commentators say “they just tased Ryan” and it’s been living in my head ever since.

Perfectly stated by President @billclinton.bsky.social.

"If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back.

"It is up to all of us who believe in the promise of American democracy to stand up, speak out, and show that our nation still belongs to We the People."
BILL CLINTON: "Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them. If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back."

During the Soviet era, at times of govt instability, the state broadcaster would typically preempt scheduled broadcasts by airing performances of Swan Lake
And, tonight, the network's flagship news program -- 60 Minutes -- ran a clip show of old celeb interviews to "celebrate the movies" rather than put together an episode focused on what's going on in Minnesota.
The person who publishes the Free Press — where the words “Minneapolis” and “Minnesota” never appear tonight — also runs CBS News.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:
