The lyrics aren’t much like ‘20s pop songs, but the drum sounds are fresh. In so many ways Larry Mullen Jr doesn’t age.

You’ll find fans who’d pick any of ANH, Empire, or R1 as their fav. I love TLJ but I’ll admit it hasn’t aged into many people’s fav. (Some of TLJ’s biggest fans have since pivoted to R1. I think they have understandably mistaken R1 for Andor: The Movie in retrospect.)
GOOD:
New Hope
Empire
WATCHABLE:
Return of the Jedi
Revenge of the Sith
The Force Awakens
BAD:
Phantom Menace
Clones
Last Jedi
Rise of Skywalker

One problem with this is it allows teams to bleed the clock. Easily solved by giving teams only a little bit of time – say, 35 seconds or so – to prepare for the next one, along with some time-outs.
The Premier League is now 5 seconds of open play then 30 seconds of prepping for a set piece.
We can fix this with rule changes:
- Teams only get four set pieces per possession
- If the set pieces are bad, the other team gets the ball
- If they're good, they get four more
- Let's call them "downs"

Mustard! Onions! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.—
Dim through the misty panes and thick Italian bread,
As under green lettuce, I saw him drowning.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

When I was an undergrad 20+ years ago, I’d guess half or more of my women peers would’ve said “yeah men can be bad but it’s like that sometimes.”
Women/enby undergrads I meet today have way less patience with bad men’s behavior. The world hasn’t changed, but they sure have, and fair play.

sports analytics is effectively a stress test on a game's rules and on its governance
analysis will find better ways to win, and then the leagues need to align their rules with what the game ought to be
the NFL model of regular rule tweaks in response to stress-testing is the right one
