My impression (also from the pods) is that Luke is the analytical one. He’s been doing great at Decathlon.

G has great racing instincts and knows how to position himself. I like him as a rider! But I’m skeptical of how well he can communicate strategy and race sense to a team outside of the race.

no more educational material for your children. just poisonous right wing slop.

how many times do we have to speak the obvious out loud:

consumer-facing "A.i." tools are made by right wing billionaires who can literally turn up the racism and bigotry dial. grok went nazi. trump is pushing to make "A.i." anti-"woke."

embed "A.i." in education and you give nazis access to kids

those ears are adding more starch by the day

The student newspaper.
This fell. To the student. Newspaper.

UPDATE: A scientist with the relevant expertise for this problem has arrived!

As a physicist I can easily calculate time dilation from relativistic motion (time slows when you're moving fast) or proximity to a massive object (time slows in gravity) but I have yet to find a solution for emotional time dilation (the task takes five minutes to complete but six weeks to start) 🫠

Can confirm. There’s at least one guy in my running group who’s in his 70s and still cranking out 7-minute miles every week. (The Boston jacket is a giveaway though.)

the colostrum phase only lasts like a week though! The tap is an extremely inefficient way to get it unless you are an infant!

I can verify it’s great for chonking up human babies, but they were too little for bikes at the time so breastmilk’s effect on cycling performance is understudied

I have started and deleted so many replies rn

It was Macron, yeah.

Phil thought it was PFP’s dad calling her during the post-race interviews.

Now that the Tour is wrapping up: NBC/Peacock please let Phil Liggett peacefully retire

The men’s tour was bad enough (Adrie VDP etc). Phil can’t pronounce half the women’s names, including PFP! He’s constantly talking over Megan, who’s doing her best. It’s rough.

ughhhh I hate that you have a point

i hate the sound they decided on for electric vehicles, it sounds like a fucking ghost creeping up on me in the parking lot

I saw Snakes on a Plane in theaters soon after it came out and the audience was the most involved I’ve ever been part of. Shouts and gasps every time the snakes appeared and did their thing. Cheers when they’re defeated.

Hot dog spill shuts down highway in Pennsylvania commuters' wurst nightmare By Associated Press UPDATED: August 1, 2025 at 5:16 PM ET SHREWSBURY, Pa. (AP) - A truckload of hot dogs spilled across a Pennsylvania interstate Friday after a crash that briefly clogged the heavily traveled artery in both directions.

A writer waits a lifetime for a moment like this.

I can't believe I'm only hearing about this now and it's already been 10 days??

Periodic ADHD reminder thread (brought to you by me needing to do like half these things): when was the last time you:

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

I assumed retirement savings was a joke and I’d have to work until noon on the day of my funeral. A few years ago I got a job with generous 401k matching, and it feels very weird to have… something?? I’m still not expecting to actually retire, but there’s a few bucks between me and destitution now.

Readers, if you don't know, course evals are often a nightmare for women & faculty of color. I've had friends & colleagues report students commenting on their appearance, using racial slurs, & making all sorts of misogynistic comments.
white male = genius, non-white/female = pushing an agenda.

Happy 15th anniversary of the peak achievement of literary criticism, to all who celebrate

All historians know the sinking feeling of tracking an "authoritative" reference back through several generations of writers to an unsourced assertion by someone nobody's ever heard of.

Now AI can make up new ones in no time at all.

A lot of 12 year olds are going to learn the phrase "op sec" in the next few years.

"Are those burner shoes?"
"I didn't think --"
"You're not SUPPOSED to fucking THINK, Skylar, you're supposed to follow FUCKING PROTOCOL."

NYC Mass Shooting Was Nearly Impossible to Prevent, Experts Say

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.
