Top Finals scorers through the years.

This is one record LeBron probably will not be able to beat. And if he can't, No. 1 will be super safe for a long time.

Quite the message from the guy running our government

Bezos is not acting out of fear. He is participating in a political project that benefits him. This distinction is important.

FDA meeting to pick next winter's flu shot is canceled, in ominous sign for US vaccine policy FDA panel meeting to select flu vaccine strains canceled; Paul Offit confirms

Meeting to choose next year's flu shots is canceled.

We will not have enough shots for next flu season.

This is the message. Food and medical care is LITERALLY to be taken from the neediest and LITERALLY given to the top 1% in the country.

In 81 games at Coors Field in 1996, 1,217 runs were scored (by both teams). That's over 15 per game and that's completely ridiculous.

Wissa is having a season. #Brentford 🐝

I want to be on Twitter for sports, but it's difficult to avoid politics. I fuckin' can't stand Trump and Musk. Vance is noticeably absent lol. But holy fuck. I wish I could ignore the shitty things going on. It can really fuck with the brain.

Nearly 40% of contracts canceled by Musk's DOGE are expected to produce no savings Nearly 40% of the federal contracts that President Donald Trump’s administration claims to have canceled as part of its signature cost-cutting program aren’t expected to save the government any money,...

Earth Safe From Asteroid 2024 YR4, NASA Says The odds that the space rock, 2024 YR4, will smash into our planet in 2032 have dropped to nearly zero, leading astronomers to conclude that we are no longer in danger.

NASA announced on Monday that the odds that an asteroid would smash into Earth in 2032 have dropped to nearly zero.

The researchers collected their first data in October 2023 and March 2024. Initially, they were struck by how inconsistently Google showed its warnings. A deep learning model they built to analyze the queries suggested that the warnings should have appeared between 29 and 58 times as often as they did in practice. For motivated conspiracy peddlers, they were easy to evade: just adding quotation marks or a single letter to a query was typically enough to make the banner disappear. The researchers were beginning to collect additional data last September when they discovered something unexpected: Google had stopped showing low-quality banners entirely, weeks before early voting began, without disclosing it.

NEW: Google used to warn you when you were seeing low-quality search results. Then, in the weeks leading up to the 2024 election, the company quietly turned that warning off www.platformer.news/google-data-...

@martinheinrich.bsky.social dude wtf?

When a state made cuts to Medicaid, depriving people of access to health insurance, the crime rate increased: That’s the finding of a new academic study, supported by the National Institutes of Health and released as a working paper in March by four scholars who study public health. The study comes at a time when many states are ramping up punishment in response to crime, while leaving public services largely underfunded. One of the study’s authors, Catherine Maclean, a professor of public policy at George Mason University, tells Bolts that policymakers should keep in mind the critical value of a strong social safety net for stabilizing communities.

UPDATE on town hall chaos: Woman who was dragged out speaks, police chief condemns security, name of security firm confirmed A legislative town hall organized by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee devolved into chaos Saturday when unidentified, plainclothes security personnel dragged a Post Falls woman from th...

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.
