This reminds me of @hankgreen.bsky.social's video from a few days ago, talking about the fact that it's hard to see or know about bad things *that did not happen*.
In this case, people who did not die from measles because we took active steps to prevent it.

Births in the U.S. increased by just 1% in 2024, according to the CDC, remaining in a historical slump that worries demographers and cultural critics. Much of the long-term trend can be attributed to the substantial reductions in teenage pregnancies over the last several decades.

Incredible how stacked the Spirit are on defense. Imagine trying to take the ball off the foot of Rodman, Santos, Miura, and soon Bethune, just to fight off Hershfelt. If you somehow win that battle, then you get McKweon, Bernal, or Krueger. Then you hit the brick wall that is Aubrey Kingsbury! 😯

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.
Good trade.

#NWSL has published its 2025 competition manual. Lots to comb through, but one item right away: 2025 salary cap was initially set at $3.3 million, with "additional monies from the league’s new revenue sharing mechanism bringing the cap to $3.5 million."
Last year's cap was $2.75 million.
