The New England Journal of Medicine and the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy will be publishing regular public health alerts to replace the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, which has been paused due to the federal government shutdown.

Believe it or not, I have colleagues who think teaching a class about Sport is not “academically meaningful” when stories like this pop up just about every day.

There are not enough hours in a 5 credit college course to even scratch the surface of the issues inherent in sporting culture.

Grant's 1996 Princeton senior thesis is all about the connections between soccer & politics [in Argentina]. While working on it, he received anonymous threats & had his laptop stolen. In his professional work, he showed us what a corrupt enterprise FIFA is & continues to be.

Does this look like the face of a cat who understands she went slightly viral and got 3,000 likes on Bluesky?

No, because that's the kind of silly thing Freya has humans for.

Been tasting so many olive oils from everywhere for years and this is the pepperiest, most aromatic olive oil I've been able to get in the US. If any of you care about such a thing. I grew up dunking whole thick slices of bread in a humongous bowl of olive oil at breakfast so the quest is real.

A lot of the people I met today said it was their first protest. A lot of people I met today were a lot older than I am and I am old. I had to help one old guy with his walker across this driveway to a parking lot because he was insistent on holding his Yes on #Prop50 sign. Today gave me hope.

I was climbing out of my costume to leave when a lady said "Oh, shoot, my son was looking for me and I told him I was next to the guy on the giant rooster."

Lol I just printed mine on paper on a color printer at work and then taped them to cardboard for support. Then I taped the small but sturdy signs to garden stakes. Worked pretty well considering my lack of supplies! I used these:

Over 2.3 million confirmed so far and the rural wave is real. We were tracking ~3,000 events, but small towns across the country are pouring in with numbers we hadn’t included. A submission portal for city + attendance is coming soon. All counts will be double-certified before the final release.
