Toronto Will Never Get Over This | Defector Baseball makes you feel bad. I don’t mean that in a literate sense ripping off Bart Giamatti’s lede, the sense of dreading a sullen winter spent longing for the sensory pleasures of the game. I mean t...

It's from 2018 but this is still my favorite map because it's a completely different way of looking at the world: Each square represents 500,000 people, so size is determined by population rather than territory. If you zoom in a little, it's pretty wild

Did you just read about how traditional Medicare is about to require prior approval - and they’re going to hire **AI companies** to dole out those approvals?

Then you need to learn about Dr. Gary Bent.

It’s interesting to find out that relievers are worth A LOT considering they are not paid a lot.

So what’s with the City Connects? As long as fans keep buying them, teams can have as many versions of them as they like?

Does anyone still say, “gimme the straight dope” - euphemistically, of course - or is it all “hashtag real tea”?

If you’re not making yourself laugh, what even is the point

The DeSantis administration has not made public a list of names of the immigrants held at the facility in heavy duty tents at an airstrip in the Florida Everglades. Individuals sent to the makeshift detention center do not show up in an online government database that allows the public to search for immigrant detainees' whereabouts. Lawyers say they have had difficulty locating clients sent to the site, often learning that they are there when detainees call family members.

An enforced disappearance is considered to be the arrest, detention, abduction or any other form of deprivation of liberty by agents of the State or by persons or groups of persons acting with the authorization, support or acquiescence of the State, followed by a refusal to acknowledge the deprivation of liberty or by concealment of the fate or whereabouts of the disappeared person, which place such a person outside the protection of the law (Article 2 of the ICPED and Preamble of the Declaration on the Protection of all Persons from Enforced Disappearance) It is characterized by three cumulative elements (defined in A/HRC/16/48/Add.3): 1. Deprivation of liberty against the will of the person; 2. Involvement of government officials, at least by acquiescence; 3. Refusal to acknowledge the deprivation of liberty or concealment of the fate or whereabouts of the disappeared person.

Florida is committing "enforced disappearance," a very serious violation of international human rights law.

It's not a problem for research to yield a negative result.

You have to find things that don't answer your question to narrow down the search for what does answer your question.

Not funding science because you didn't get a positive result prevents us from finding the positive result!
