It appears Adem Bona didn’t fulfill his (ongoing) rookie duties — which resulted in his tire being removed and popcorn being filled in his car.

Vibes seem great with the Sixers!

Special education isn't a "nice thing to have." It isn't "charity" or doing something to make us feel better. It is a right. The right to a Free Appropriate Public Education is codified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, signed by a Republican president.

these are massively different, 8 to 6 I think most could do in a year (obviously depending on lots of factors), but 6 to 4 I'd almost consider impossible for an adult with a job who wants a normal life with running just as a hobby

and the under armor cold gear is amazing, I actually get too hot if it's above ~24F and I've had the same few tops for about 10 years, they really last

grew up running in Maryland and in Philly now, it shouldn't be too icy too often, I've always been able to just slow down and be careful and haven't had problems

there is no peace to be made with the treadmill, it is the devil’s tool

Bluesky runners: winter is coming. how do yall keep consistent with your miles? do you migrate to indoor tracks, just pray there's no ice, moderate your speed when it has snowed, switch to running on road, make peace with the treadmill?

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

my girlfriend is really not a podcast person at all but she accepts me for who I am

Spotify playlist "180bpm workout mix" with the songs can't stop by red hot chili peppers, the pretender by the foo fighters, breed by nirvana, mememe by 100 gecs, could have been me by the struts, animals by maroon 5, bring me to life by evanescence, misery business by paramore, and 365 by charli xcx

it's a hobby horse of mine that consumer-facing tech, particularly apps, are pretty bad and getting worse over time- the spotify feature where it'll make you a playlist at a certain BPM doesn't actually work at all. rounding to the nearest 10 BPM, *ONE* of these is 180bpm. a bunch aren't even close

give me a bag of these and you don't even have to worry about the money

nice good luck and enjoy!!

awesome! depending on what pace you want to hit you could absolutely run 10 miles next weekend. 8 miles at ~8:45 is great, you should be able to do 10 at ~9:20 (maybe even a bit quicker) pretty comfortably with the fitness you have right now!

a good friend of mine recently told me that her friend's school has litter boxes for the kids and I did the right thing and explained that it's a nonsense reactionary rumor that's been going around for years but man it's tedious I was so close to just saying "damn that's crazy" and not engaging

We traveled to DC to talk to Congressional Staffers about the impact of NIH and NIBIB funding. It enables us to develop synthetic biology tools to advance cell & genetic medicines for patients in need. REPOST to deliver the message that SCIENCE saves lives & makes America GREAT!

this series haunts me to this day; he was marvelous

many places in Fairmount I've gone to run only to conclude that if I actually ran on this street regularly I'd get hit by a car

honestly I'm so excited for a decade+ more of these guys playing each other (and Carlos will absolutely win a lot of those matches)

babe wake up it’s time for another six hours of Sinner-Alcaraz

Why carmakers need to bring back buttons Asian companies lead a reversal from touchscreen-dominated dashboards

Why carmakers need to bring back buttons - great column by June Yoon how makers shifted to touchscreen dominated dashboards. It was cheaper and helped monetise software. But they are now realise it is not so safe - ie finding a hazard light screen icon in an emergency www.ft.com/content/b463...

I'm increasingly becoming a luddite about many things, but especially cars. It's actually insane that we've accepted a world where every new car sold has a big tablet in the driver's view. It's one of the most baffling things about the modern world, actually.

This should be the only thing on the news until they’re closed and the guards, architects, and everyone involved are in prison

People talk as if rooms full of high-IQ people are zones of breathtaking displays of wit and wisdom, and clarifying insight. Anyone who went to a selective institution can tell you this is horseshit, but lots of folks enjoy the illusion, for lots of reasons.

I still think "washing up liquid" for dish soap is the craziest one

my favorite one is the "wilt's 100 point game is fake" because as far as I can tell it has absolutely 0 meaningful effects, implications, or harms. like if it was confirmed all you could do was shrug and go "huh" yet people really go crazy about it
