Just to say, for any sports media outlet/editor reading this, I am available to cover Cape Verde matches the next time AFCON and World Cup qualifying come around.

What did Cape Verde ever do other than be a really beautiful archipelago and vibrant tourist destination.

Lots of anti-international break stuff about, but the number of England flags I've noticed popping up recently suggests people in the UK really like international breaks. Some flags even show support for all the home nations in their respective World Cup qualifiers.

Republican Rep. Cory Mills allegedly threatened to release nude images of a 26-year-old woman and to harm her future boyfriends after she ended their relationship.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”

Judge grants ex-girlfriend restraining order against Rep. Cory Mills

A Florida judge said Rep. Cory Mills had cyberstalked an ex-girlfriend and barred the lawmaker from going near her residence or workplace or referencing her on social media.

One possible way out of LLM Psychosis is to enact the discipline of refusing to use words that ascribe agency to LLMs and the outputs thereof.
An LLM does not “suggest”, “explain”, “create”, “plan”, “prioritize”, etc.

The big challenges in covering Trump’s politicized prosecutions:
~not treating them like normal prosecutions;

~not letting legit cases obscure/justify politicized ones.

Yes, we indeed have a serious problem.

A tweet by Robert Reich reads:
“The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.”

Partisan gerrymandering is still unconstitutional. It denies equal protection by intentionally diluting votes; it denies free association by punishing the other party; and it violates Art. I’s promise that “the People” pick their representatives. SCOTUS punished people who behave constitutionally.

Matthew Segal @segalmr.bsky.social · 1d

Demonstrating once again that, by holding that partisan gerrymandering is a nonjusticiable “political question,” SCOTUS set up a situation in which voters and their representatives are essentially punished in Congress if they choose to run their own states fairly.

North Carolina Republicans announced today they’re going to pass a new congressional map to draw a Dem out of Congress; they already did last cycle, going from 7-7 to 10-4. Thus would be 11-3. t.co/XLJIhe8vZn
