When a man hijacked a bus in Hamilton, Ontario, on Tuesday, the potentially catastrophic scenario ended happily. It turns out he was a pretty decent bus driver. He made regular stops to pick up passengers, the police reported. At one point someone tried to board with an expired bus pass. No dice.
A Man Took a Bus for a Joyride. Turns Out, He’s Not a Bad Driver.
The incident in Hamilton, Ontario, ended safely with an arrest and no injuries (and all fares paid).

"what a coincidence, our tickets cost literally all of your money"
Another price increase for the 2026 World Cup…
Sensing strong demand, FIFA raised the cost of many tickets to record-setting heights — the first large-scale implementation of its “variable pricing” strategy.

I assume most people imagine the Romans being sacked by the Visigoths every other week, but historically, this is decline; institutions become sclerotic and things that seem unthinkable are suddenly real and slapping you in the face with no reprieve
What you want from a functional, thriving superpower is every reporter in the country spending all day combing through a cache of documents that all say, more or less, “hi [rich ruling class person], it was good seeing you last week for all the child sex crimes!”

the theory people online have settled on about the guy who came up with whole-word reading -- that he probably is dyslexic and does not seem to realize this -- seems to be more probable now than it did before I read the article

paradoxically we have to restrict 7-on-7 camps dramatically. you can't put the toothpaste back, but you can hide the tube altogether
Elite QBs in the 2020s are check down Charlies whose only goal is to never throw an interception. Love isn't like that. Neither is Drake Maye.
Love is one of the last live by the sword/die by the sword type QBs in the nfl. His ceiling is incredible. He just has some bozo gene in him.

i do love that even most finance people are very adamant it's a bubble but nobody can really decide when it pops or if it even does. it's like if Nortel just kinda got to hang out at its 1999 valuation until the 2008 recession
Japanese giant SoftBank said Tuesday it has sold its entire stake in tech giant Nvidia for $5.83 billion.

it really is remarkable that the people who make James Bond now don't know what makes James Bond
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

crossing routes against quarters are kind of one of those things that work really well if you give your QB time. it's just most teams pair quarters with really aggressive front seven packages and the Packers just uh, didn't there
Jalen Hurts throws deep for a touchdown. Interesting coverage there.

don't really know why I have to hear about a lady who abused her miniscule amount of power in a tiny Kentucky county as a kind of personal Thermopylae for a decade at this point
As I explained when Davis' lawyers filed this petition, there was virtually no chance that the Supreme Court would seriously consider her case. I doubt there are five votes to overturn Obergefell—but if there were, this case does not present a clean vehicle for doing so. slate.com/news-and-pol...
